I dunno. When I first got Sonic the Hedgehog and locked it onto the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge, I was transported to a game full of nothing but procedurally generated challenging blue-spheres puzzles. I played it for months and months. But there were "only" 128 million unique levels possible on the cartridge.
Joke or not, this is not due to functionality in PDF files macros, but a memory corruption issue leading to code execution. The exact same type of thing that happens with most Adobe Reader vulnerabilities. The only difference is the choice in vendor for your bugs.
I'm not so sure that's true. Just a much higher melting point and sufficient rigidity. The mold only has to be durable enough not to fall apart. What's injected into it will be solid material.
Example - you can fill a water balloon and freeze it. I'm pretty sure that ice is more durable than the balloon.
That is an unreasonable restriction when digital copies are trivial to make and no one could possibly claim to be harmed by the existence of additional copies of an out-of-print game.
There's been a bit of a renaissance of out of print games coming back from beyond. The harm is that you would prevent it from being made available again at all.
Who provides a larger number of internet connections at higher speeds than Comcast?
You know that's a completely different metric, right?
Sure, there are faster speeds available, but only in extremely select, limited areas.
As are the limited areas where Comcast's speed is 1Gb/s or higher. You know they probably use those ads in markets where those select few competitors are available too...
promise something today with the assumption that a future generation will pick up the tab.
In my specific case, 9% of my income went into that fund. And the state's portion was also not supposed to come from a future generation. But instead of contributing and earning on investment, it was all spent (what is being called "underfunded" - which sidesteps the fact that investment earnings are a significant part of the pension process - what was there earned over 7% over the last 10 years).
I withdrew my money and ran before the state did anything stupid with MY money. I can't declare bankruptcy and discharge my student loans, so I sure don't want the state trying to do something similar.
So the only legal way for you to acquire that 20 year old game is to wait another 70 years or more
No - resale is perfectly legal. And I can find it used for ~$38. However, I already have a large backlog of games to play. I'm waiting out to see if GoG gets rights to it and can release it. Even if the original artists don't get compensated this way, at least the rights-holder gets the message that this is a game people will still pay for (there is a nearly 7,000 strong wishlist vote on GoG now).
The Neverhood doesn't even run correctly on XP, since it requires 8-bit color and palette changes and is not very compatible. There are two ways to play it on modern systems - The Neverhood Restoration Project and ScummVM.
Which is why 3D printing should move toward printing molds for 3D objects rather than the objects themselves. That is, if there are materials available that would hold up to the process.
Which is why these designs should be protected by something more like trademark. Use it or lose it. If you want to sell replacement parts, great. If not, let me build my own. But I won't settle for having NO choices.
Attempts to get rid of morally objectionable public pensions fail across the board
The reason they fail across the board is because the workers were hired under certain terms. You can't go backward and change the terms of someone's past employment by taking away the future they were working toward all along.
I say this as a former state employee in Illinois, where the wages were way below market but only tolerable due to health insurance and pension. I left because it was too dangerous.

Usually locked to read-only mode, unless you worked around it.
It's like being a hit man who gets paid by having other people do hits for them in return (to generate the currency).

If we as avid gamers don't buy things expecting them to be rocky at the start and get better we'll never get anything worth having.
Back in my day, you got your games on read only memory, with no required downloaded updates. Oh wait - that's still how I play games.
But how does she share recipes?
They're already at ~3K native if you turn off the high-DPI scaling.
For many websites using a cert is simply to expensive and may require a dedicated IP.
Answer: Let's Encrypt and SNI. There is no excuse. If you can't do that, find a new host.
it IS NOT disclosed when the app is downloaded, according to TFA.
By that point, you've already bought the item. It's a little late to change your purchase decision.

Not all technology is electronics. Hammers, spoons, and matches are all technology.
And yes. Reader has a sandbox, but that's only an extra layer - not foolproof.

When you get enough H1B workers, they are the market rate.

It's almost like you need an intermediary to protect you from the unions. We need union unions.

That's still cheaper, so they still consider it a net win.
