Since this method of contraception would provide absolutely no protection from STDs, I'd expect it to be used primarily by people in stable relationships who do (in theory) trust each other. Sure, it's possible a man could lie about getting the shot, but how many women are really going to expect their long-term partner to actually do so?
Hospitals are big on not messing with things that work. The devices that still have NT on them do so because, despite the OS's shortcomings, they work.
I can see why they didn't want to keep the name WithoutStyle Potato Chips. With a name like that, everyone would think they were a Japanese product.
"After a hard day at work or play, why not settle down and relax with a bag of WithoutStyle chips, a bottle of Calpis Water, and a delicious bar of Asse chocolate!" (Yes, the last two are real products.)
I couldn't help noticing Steam's press release contained the line: "Headlining the new feature set is the Custom Executable Generation (CEG) technology that compliments the already existing anti-piracy solution offered in Steamworks."
It warms the heart to know that a big company like Steam still takes the time and effort to make sure their old software feels good about itself!
The song was used multiple times for his party's political campaign when the license purchased didn't allow that. From the much more informative article linked in the article, it sounds like they were permitted to use it once but then went on to use it multiple times and, additionally, put it on the internet. Then, rather than paying the difference for such use, the party offered €1. I can't imagine why the band wasn't amused...
In short, this wasn't a case of Joe User downloading a song; it was unauthorized commercial use.
In our society, you're assumed straight unless you say or show otherwise. It seems the powers that be on Xbox Live don't want you to be able to say otherwise. I'm not saying this means they're homophobic, but their stance does have the consequence of preventing the presentation of different sexual orientations (and the people with them) as positive and acceptable.
What kind of idiot (I know, I know, we're talking about management) would actually be stupid enough to put something like that in writing or even state it explicitly? Sure, it'd be very useful to have an actual record of such a threat, but let's be realistic here.
"As the court can clearly see from these IWF search logs, the defendent was fully aware he was breaking the law and even went so far as to use a tool designed to prevent the spread of child pornography to evaluate and aid his efforts to avoid detection!"
And then throw that "25 things people don't know about me" thing that was going around a few weeks ago into the mix. Now they have that information, too.
Does this make anyone else wonder if the marketers themselves started that trend to gather data?
It's easy for something that's only been turned off to be turned back on, maybe even by someone other than the people who had them installed if there's an attitude that there's no need to secure and monitor them if they're off. It's also possible that the cameras were only leased or given to the city as part of a package deal that includes maintenance or other terms that would make them more expensive to keep.
Finally, and maybe most important, is that even if they're turned off, that would still leave surveillance cameras sitting around the city, giving the impression that Big Brother is watching, even if the cameras are no longer on.
That's the court's job. When disallow something in a ruling, they tell why they did so; they don't say, "You can't do this, but we're not going to tell you why."

Corporations are very big on not talking about ongoing lawsuits.

Ah, yes... I remember being told about that last part in The Talk from my parents. I was afraid to go outside for weeks.

Then what's physical violence the modern equivalent of?
It warms the heart to see that all that talent, hard work, and effort can have the massive payoff of pierced ears at the age of 17.

I don't know... It just seems like asking for trouble to me.

In the same sense that Premier is not Diebold.
You are the universe (albeit a very small piece of it).
It is bright. You are likely to be attacked by a mouse.
It's not so much that you can claim to have the "Best" burgers because it's a huge and obvious lie so much as that it's a matter of opinion.

For some reason, this scene comes to mind...
"As the court can clearly see from these IWF search logs, the defendent was fully aware he was breaking the law and even went so far as to use a tool designed to prevent the spread of child pornography to evaluate and aid his efforts to avoid detection!"
Yes, because the 'It's doomed to failure!' press release is much better at attracting interest and investors.

That's assuming it will actually use a litter box. Not all feral cats will.

Well, at least there was a good side to it.

They couldn't be on the list because they no longer count as a tech company.
