high licensing costs and the fact they wouldn't let anyone use the "Firewire" name and that "Y" symbol.
25 cents per port (down from $1 originally). And I'm fairly certain that fee included use of the symbol if not the name. Sony called it "i.Link" to make it sound like their own thing. How many names have you seen for HDMI CEC? Anynet+, CE-Link, EZ-Sync, Bravia Theater Sync, SimpleLink. The idea is to make it look like buying only their brand gives you an advantage you can't get by mixing brands.
It would track those cars' movement through the system - how long to get from position A to position B. I doubt it would be used to monitor traffic quantity - more intelligent people don't have their devices discoverable. So it would disproportionately benefit the stupid. Traffic jams don't usually happen in primarily residential areas. That is, unless your own residential street is being used as a bypass around traffic.
Maybe they can swing by all the other failed government IT projects while they're at it. Maybe they can take a shot at Virtual Case File for the FBI. Throwing money at a problem - especially a government IT problem is not going to work.
If loss were a verb, maybe that would have some merit in this conversation. This is a case of spelling out a similar pronunciation with the wrong word.
The level design would also be copyrighted. So you could make a platformer with the same physics, but different characters (the character artwork is copyrighted and trademarked), different graphics, and different level design. No point associating it with Mario once you get to that point.
It could have been any number of things, but as far as I know, it wasn't. What matters to me is what actually happened.
As far as you know it wasn't. What if it was? What do you think qualifies legally as harassment/stalking? Because you can't just use speech as your method of harassment/stalking to earn a get out of jail free card.
I don't think it's an issue of being censored. Everything the girls said was protected speech. Once or twice. But when you turn that into a repetitive action and use it for emotional abuse on a daily basis, why is that still a speech issue? It's not like it's about censoring their words - they've said it all before and nobody prevented them from saying it once. They just wouldn't stop. That's what makes it harassment and it didn't have to be speech. It could have been calling her phone and hanging up all day long - there's another example of something speechlike that doesn't need free speech protection.
I didn't say the harassment wasn't speech. I said the harassment didn't have to be. And that speech being involved doesn't automatically make it a speech issue. That you think an argument with nuance is somehow a twisting of words means you're already not willing to think hard enough to "get it."
That's not why I'm opposed. While I'd abide a great many compromises to fix healthcare, that's just not one of them. Forcing a private industry purchase on every American? I pay taxes to the government to get public good. But I'm not going to pay taxes to a corporation. That's not just a compromise, it's a slippery slope.
For some reason, I think of Windows XP. Only a year later, Service Pack 1 came out. Or Windows Vista - less than a year later, SP1 came out. Well - with Windows 7 it took 14 months. So you've got me there.
If these people really were so happy about it, you would assume that it spread
Being happy without Windows is spreading. The difference is that people are getting iPads and Kindle Fires instead of Linux PC's. I know a 30-something couple who have only 2 iPhones and an iPad between them - no computer and no non-cellular ISP.

Woosh, sir. Woosh.
Do you know what de facto means?

Didn't stop Google from getting a wiretapping charge when collecting AP data.
That's not how bluetooth works.
A couple wooden stilts and some cardboard

Amazon Marketplace just isn't a viable substitute. But you need a framework for these sellers who would never do this with their own web site.
You want me to go post on Facebook about the decline of Slashdot to balance things out?
One more Candy Crush invite and it was bound to happen by someone's hand.

Stalking laws are silly? Really? What are criminal laws for except to have protection from other people? Or are you against criminal law too?
So you're saying that you don't believe that harassment/stalking should exist as crimes in any form?

To be specific, I meant a marketing name with .1 - version numbers are pretty much meaningless.
That wasn't a hyphen, it's an en dash. Slashdot just hates non-ASCII characters.

I thought we were talking about marketing names. Version numbers in Windows are more or less meaningless.
For some reason, I think of Windows XP. Only a year later, Service Pack 1 came out. Or Windows Vista - less than a year later, SP1 came out. Well - with Windows 7 it took 14 months. So you've got me there.
Yes, it's almost exactly the same. Still jarring to have a context-switch, but it works.
