If this were to be the case, why aren't people making tons of money by putting this en masse on the web like "Project Gutenberg" except this time with lots of ad-revenue and paid subscriptions? I would! Except there's always some bloke who claims his granddad played the trumpet on that recording and wasn't paid for hire, did his "own interpretation/ad-lib", and hasn't died within the last 70 years, so please line up at the cash register.
This is EXACTLY what the Copyright Industry is trying to prevent. They do not want large amounts of formerly-copyrighted recordings to hit the Internet, searchable, streamable, people making remixes, etc.
The Libary of Congress offers a National Jukebox, featuring recordings taken from early shellac disks. For instance the St. Louis Rag recorded 1906-10-05, i.e. more than 110 (one hundred and ten) years ago. And what does the US government tell their citizens?

Netflix Canada just raised their prices... something that's going to happen elsewhere too if they have to pay more and more of "premium" content. So I say to Netflix: walk away when things start getting Starz-like. Australia, now Canada.. who's next? Oh, and while in the last round of prices increases its current Canadian subscribers had a year or so until the price increase started to affect them, now it's suddenly just a "matter of weeks". That first tidbit wasn't on the press release and that's why you didn't read about it in most media and Netflix Canada wasn't asked why the sudden change of policy.
For the record: I have Netflix, CraveTV and Amazon Prime. I can, should I keep these 3 (and have no reason not to at this point), categorically state that I will not pay for a 4th (let alone 5th) streaming provider subscription.
Mansplaining? LOL! What a word. But to the point: "my ideas ignored until they were rephrased by men." That's the whole point! rephrased being the key. "Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla" -> "This is good because of that". Whatever gender/affinity/cultural background/sexual persuasion the speaker has, it is their responsibily to phrase their message in a way their key audience will understand. It 's not the audience's responsibility to jump through hoops and try to understand the speaker.
Nobody noticed the upside-down flag on the guy's hat (or does nobody RTFA around here?...oh... yeah it's/.).
U.S. CODE. Title 4, Chapter 1. 8 "Respect for Flag" -- (a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
Let's try and think of a generic name that are is generic they cannot be trademarked: Vaccuum Tube Transport, VTT or "the tube" (I think they call the subway in London, England the tube). "Are you flying in?" "No, I'm thinking of tubing it". Sounds better than "this afternoon I'll be Hyperlooping to Boston".
The White Walkers are actually going to be "punched a nazi"'d to pieces by an angry #DothrakiLivesMatter mob out for revenge against this "racist hate group".
Because SMBv2 on android is apparently still difficult. With ES File Explorer, you need to install some crappy game to get SMBv2 support and it's spotty at best. Not everyone likes to run a streaming server (that actually have client-like, full screen interfaces), just have a share or two and access it via SMB from all kinds of devices. Maybe there'll be a Windows port of SAMBA to use a non-vulnerable version of SMBv1.
I registered the domain {myfirstname}.net in 1996.
I get several hundred emails a year where people have used {myfirstname}@{myfirstname}.net to sign up to things. It's annoying, yes
Oh I'm sorry, my bad. I always just put Llanfairpwllgwyngyll@Llanfairpwllgwyngyll.net for sites that harvest email addresses before you can download stuff, just to make it look legit.
If you're going to do this, STFU and just do it. OF COURSE they're going to whine and complain. First get all the meta-data, then distribute the content archiving around the globe (so you can archive 24/7 within 'reasonable hours' and reasonable amounts of data for that part of the globe). Then you just need to keep regular tabs to get new content. Once SoundCloud shuts down, and is gone, you can wait as long as you need before making your archive available to the general public. But the content is saved.
If I go to www.google.com, I want a lean fast-loading page with no other crap than the Google logo or Doodle. It's already taking forever to load compared to 5 years ago or so. When I want the other stuff, I go to news.google.com (well in my case,.ca in both situations). Google needs to get through their thick heads why people liked Google in the first place. And now they want to copy Yahoo! -- we all know what happened to them. Bad idea...
Everytime these over-reaching verdicts come up, I refer to the Bokki-Wokki Supreme Court ruling, whereas in compliance with Bokki-Wokki accessability and inclusion laws, every world-wide web page reachable from Bokki-Wokki needs to be presented in the Wokki language. Starting January 1st of 2015, non-compliance carries a B 10,000 penalty (USD 25,000) per day, up to a maximum of 999 trillion Bok.
Ridiculous? Of course. But so is European courts deciding what a Canadian website operator using Canadian infrastructure can do. Or vice-versa... oh wait.
Indeed, Kaboom! was cool but you only really play it with paddle controllers. Same goes for other breakout clones. Missile Command with a trackball (or an inverse trackball called a mouse). If you're really, really interested, research getting a Flashback 2+ and implementing the cartridge connector and see if that will work.
Too bad they weren't able to get Pamela Anderson for the role; scheduling conflicts. She's be playing the lead role in the re-imagination of the Blade movies (all 3 of them, and maybe a fourth).
Identity Theft is something made up by bankers and their ilk. That communicates that the Little Guy is the victim and they are just on the sidelines. It's just fraud as someone uses falsified data to fill out forms, etc. It's up to the them to properly verify that no fraudulent data is used. But if they introduce the concept of "identity theft", they're shifting responsibility away. The "identity" becomes something very simple and abstract, and since it's "stolen" (of course "copied" would be better, what is this Slashdot or the MPAA Fan Forum?) the beef is between the culprit and the legitimate identity owner, not something between the culprit and the financial institution.
This needs to be changed ASAP. If an accused claims that "they didn't do it", it's up to the financial/other institution to prove that they in fact did, instead of the other way around. So having some random data like name, address, postal code (yes really! you can look it up online but you have to fill that out too), and SIN/SSN will no longer be enough. Once the financial institutions are going to be on the chopping block, proper technology will be available Real Soon Now.
I, for one, welcome our new celestial Overlord^H^H^H^Hlady. Someone that isn't there as a token female, but someone that has actually done something and every Canadian can be proud to call their Governor General. Hopefully that spirit of accomplishment inclusion will remain, the opposite of an 'activist' type person that does what they do for a club they themselves are a member of.
Nobody ever heard of cellphone jammers? You can make smart ones that auto switch on when a local transmitting device is detected. Or why isn't every "cell tower" in range of that prison actually a Stingray(like) device, and all conversations are listened in to, being recorded and used in court. Encrypted data connections that cannot be decrypted (via backdoor or otherwise) are of course being denied/dropped/messed with.

it made the perfect [cheap] gift for inculcating young kids in the ways of Apple.

Just a few minutes ago I took a call from my daughter on my watch
I keep waiting for a guy named Michael to take a call from his wife Kitt (short for Kitty or Katherine) but no luck so far.
