Trouble is they aren't standard. So I have invites from friends in so many different services where as they could just have a group on e-mail that included me like most people do. I don't want to be sucked into different commercial entity money making schemes because my friends aren't very discerning and don't understand the underpinnings picking something that includes everyone they might want to.
That doesn't make it an unfair comparison mainly because I'm not making a comparison. It merely demonstrates the point in accompaniment of the fact that markup is advisory and the browser determines the viewing.
A comparison would be to say they argue that dodging the adverts is "theft" or at least unfair. So compare to a site that requires subscription for its content. Let's see what are the most popular those that are free to view content or those that charge?
So if they want to charge me for the content they should warn me in advance rather than just debit by credit card without telling me.
You don't need a lawyer in most cases they can just save you a lot of time and potentially money if you do things like turning up without the right forms etc all the time.
And in response to an earlier IANB response, the rules for lawyers in this country (UK) don't allow the kind of financial arrangement they describe (contingency fees). Though there are some creative and frowned upon sharp practices that result in more or less the same thing.
World record is over 8000wpm isn't it? For a novel with comprehension test at the end?
Remember reading and still use the techniques in the Tony Buzan speed reading book. Learning to be better at chunking really boosted my speed. In that technique you take in multiple lines in a sweep.
His (and early US Airfoce) work showed people take in the patterns and don't read the letters at all.
If they want to put adverts on maybe they should have an entry screen that says "Enter here, content has adverts splattered all over it" and see how many people just choose to go elsewhere.
If you are giving people warning to choose before hand their argument has merit but otherwise as other posts point out, the point of tags allows the client to arrange as recipient requests.
I just won't use sites that bug me with adverts (or requests for survey input!) any more than I have to.
I just realised that the real problem isn't the paying more for special treatment. It's the seeming deliberate crippling of other services in order to promote the "enhanced" service.
I'm more inclined to believe that they are just too stupid to get to the full picture for themselves. Or didn't take the time too. I'll admit I have jumped to conclusions in the past, it's less common now. Something about gaining wisdom (or at least a slower pace meaning you get the time to think before you publish) with age springs to mind.
On a broadband connection where you have limited use per month (some Gig) the uninvited user is actually stealing because they are permanently (with intention to do so) depriving you of your capacity.
What makes me wonder is on an unlimited connection would it still be doing so, hence could they get a conviction if they weren't actually using a finite resource?
The permanent deprivation of your capacity is where it differs with reading a book over someones shoulder through a window, or using waste light escaping from a window to read your own book.
I hope those people who are providing adverts realise they are not part of the content I was looking for and therefore were univited trespassers onto my screen and if they persist in doing so without perhaps warning me before hand that if I go to the screen I will get unsolicited adverts thrust at me I will have to start charing for my screen space and time.
I actually find it tricky because some sites I like the adverts and others just are a total intrusion. I happily click through ads on some sites to support them.
And the reason so many developers choose to put time into drivers for Linux could be the GPL, because they don't want free loading companies using without paying.
I only ever dual license. GPL or you can pay me for favorable terms.
Most likely those who didn't have the protection would die most often with fewer progeny. As that defense is no longer needed more people less tanned would survive until (getting silly now) they got near the snow. Once there it's an advantage to blend in against the white backdrop or be eaten by (the then) wolves.
It's only through needs (resulting in pruning from the evolutionary paths) that changes occur.
I just counted the number of characters the width I have my browser makes a/. paragraph line length. I suspect not by coincidence it was smack on 80. I vary the browser width on other sites to make the lines about that same length. So I at least seem to have a discernable preference.
Wonder if that is just conditioning or that I naturally prefer that sort of line length to make comprehension easier for me.
You missed option three. The product makers responsible could make more of an effort to leave no holes, saving themselves the trouble of bidding. No vulnerabilities no bidding and no risks. Isn't that the way economics works, supply and demand. If the supply dries up you have nothing to sell.
In similar logic they could go the other way and leave so many gaping holes that there is no need to bid as any half wit can find them.
I feel the need to check my local legislation to see if doing this counts as circumvention and if so in what ways? Especially if you have a license for each item of software used and they are the only instances of each that you use.
The quoted lump gave me the impression that the bypass to DRM was you distribute the OS with player and the item of media is keyed to that OS. So surely the simple step is then to just distribute the media to be played on the one off distributed virtual hosted instance of the OS?
Or did I miss something that means I should read the whole article.
The solution there is just provide the content they own. They don't then have to DRM it for the benefit of the copyright holders. And as I argued in my feedback to the BBC consultation why should they be offering anything that is or will shortly be available through license from the copyright holder on DVD as one example? That just makes them a competitor to a commercial service.
Providing their own content of current affairs, news and similar is surely much more public service broadcasting than shit like Eastenders.
You'd think maybe the high end is a good target to put out. If in doing so they get access to the latest scale of fab so down to what is it 45nm? They with the best designed (open to argument) chips on resolutions to match Intel would be a super serious leader.

Seems you state the case for the GPL and GCC well, it stops free loaders taking and not giving.

And what about not resizing at all but using the Debian installer that fakes it with one big file on your Windows partition?
Or the similar but less (last time I looked) confidence imbued Ubuntu one?

Shoot them down and see who complains!

All in all not a new problem.
You might be on to a seriously good idea there. Smaller and faster scanners that do brain scans in place of iris or finger prints.
Except my title would be too far beyond most of the religious folks ability to recognise a description of themselves.
I guess it will become an advantage to jump before you intend some time. Or any other action before you intend to.

Should go read the actual law I suppose.

I doubt you have tried "all the ... Linuxes since", there are hundreds and several versions of each in that time.

Sounds like they hired someone who doesn't know how it should be done and so did it the only way they could work out (quickly) to do it.
