1. Any longer; at the present: Do they make this model anymore?
2. From now on: We promised not to quarrel anymore.
2. Chiefly Midland U.S. Nowadays.
Regional Note: In standard American English the word anymore is often found in negative sentences: They don't live here anymore. But anymore is widely used in regional American English in positive sentences with the meaning "nowadays": "We use a gas stove anymore" (Oklahoma informant in DARE). Its use, which appears to be spreading, is centered in the South Midland and Midwestern states, as well as in the Western states that received settlers from those areas. The earliest recorded examples are from Northern Ireland, where the positive use of anymore still occurs.
Looks to me like the parent's use of "anymore" is entirely appropriate.
Government employees can be at-will as well; the problem is that their employer is bound by the state and US Constitutions and therefore has to provide greater protections in that manner.
Traditionally the New York courts have been very strongly in favor of employment-at-will and very strongly opposed to any kind of intravention into the employer-employee relationship, so this is very surprising for a New York court to rule this way. If the city appeals this, I would expect it to be overturned very quickly.
You seem to not understand what "moral rights" are in copyrighted works. "Moral rights" are things like attribution, ability to have works not created by you not attributed to you, prevent destruction/mutilation of the work, etc. A lot of "moral rights" would be/should be prevented by the first sale doctrine (once a work is sold to a consumer, the creator shouldn't have control over it). In every country but the US, "moral rights" in copyrighted works ARE "legal rights." It's still questionable whether US copyright law provides similar protections and to what extent.
Not only that, but they're horrible at rounding. The average commute in the US is 24.4 minutes. That comes to 81 hours and 20 minutes each year driving to work (40/50). So it's not "20 hours more than a typical years supply of vacation", but it is 1 hour and 20 minutes more than a year's supply of vacation.
Don't forget about the Commerce Clause, which is actually how a number of "copyright" laws have been authorized (which also limits their scope to interstate commerce). The Constitution also limits copyright protection to "writings," but from very early on the courts have said that "writings" is about as broad of a term as you can get.
"Minimum security measures" shall include, but not be limited to: (a) installing a network firewall; (b) changing the system's default SSID (network name); or (c) disabling SSID broadcasting.
Any commercial business that stores, utilizes or otherwise maintains personal information electronically shall be required to take minimum security measures as defined herein to secure and prevent unauthorized access to all such information.
So it does look like just changing the SSID would be enough to fulfill the requirements of the law; however, the real purpose of the law was just to bring wireless security to the attention of these businesses. If it inspires a few of them to take a minute to evaluate their wireless security and then do something about it, chances are they will do more than just change the SSID. The fines available aren't severe enough to compel anyone into compliance.
I always wondered why wireless routers allow the wireless network to access the admin login by default at all? It should be limited to the wired network by default.
Life of the author plus 70 years (depending on date of publication/creation of the work this can vary, but for new works it is accurate).
I have less of a problem with long copyrights for artistic works than other works. Art provides a value to society, but it isn't like patents where having a particular painting out of the public domain for 100 years is going to be detrimental to society. You seem to just want something for free that the author created with his time and effort so you can enjoy it, but not so you can do anything particularly useful with it. Your reason for wanting this type of work in the public domain is a lot weaker than the reason for rewarding the author for creating the work.
Well, it's actually a good argument. The question is the reach of moral rights in the US, but aside from that take a look at Monty Python for example. Their works were put on TV in the US after being chopped to pieces, edited, censored, etc. So, sure it put their skits in front of millions of people; however, what it put in front of those people was NOT something they created, but a bastardization of it. So then instead of a million more fans, they've got a million people that think Monty Python is something that it isn't.
So, Miro is saying that Google has created the impression that he created the logo for them and perhaps that is not something he would have done and doesn't want his name associated with it. IF such moral rights exist in the US, then he might stand a chance. US courts have not been very receptive to the idea in the past, even with the VARA in existence.
Moral rights in copyrighted works are pretty slim in the US if existent at all. We're supposed to have them as a condition to signing a treaty, but for the most part we really don't. Anything that comes up looking like moral rights ends up being weasled through the Lanham Act rather than copyright law.
Near the end of the first page, Lee sums up the attitude on both sides of the Pacific pretty well: "I don't think they care that much. I think people would say: 'Hey, U.S. democracy, that's a good form of government. Chinese government, good and stable, that's a good form of government. Whatever, as long as I get to go to my favorite Web site, see my friends, live happily.'"
It's nice to know the Chinese are as apathetic about their government as we are in the U.S.
It's especially annoying on smaller jets like an ERJ where there is barely enough room in the overhead for each passenger to stow a briefcase and people are carrying full size suitcase with them. So the airliner just makes them leave their luggage by the door and then they load it right before we take off and unload it right after we land, which means everyone that was smart enough to check their 50 lb bag at the counter has to wait twice as long to get it.
So the software failed, but in the end it didn't really fail, because it showed someone was doing their job as they were supposed to be.
Actually, the sad thing is that it was the software that failed and the human factor that did the right thing. I always thought the opposite was more likely to happen.
Notice the sudden spike in the "high" mood on 4/20? I thought that was interesting.
Considering that probably 99% of those who listed their mood as "high" have probably never even seen marijuana before in their lives, I don't find it that interesting.
Wikipedia is huge; one of the top 20 websites, and publishing there is like publishing in the '''New York Times''
I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh at that line. At least the Times can write an article without resorting to weasel words. I wonder what percentage of non-stub articles on Wikipedia don't contain at least one "weasel word".
In its current state, Wikipedia is useful to get quick information on a subject you might be unfamiliar, but it is definitely not the place to look for quality details, incredible accuracy, etc. It fills much the same role as a traditional encyclopedia. It's a good place to start your research, but you wouldn't rely on it to write anything you want someone else to read.
Wikipedia is also great to read if you want your own grammar skills to tank horribly.
As a scientific term of art, a theory is, "A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena."
Seeing that these people are scientists, I'm going to assume the type of theory they are referring to is the repeatedly tested and wide accepted kind of theory that can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.
The US consumes 19 million barrels of oil each day. Sadly, the fuel economy difference saved by trading in an SUV for a small car would give save us a whopping 55 million barrels of oil.
It doesn't help that each year we're spending more time on the road than the year before. Any benefit to overall fuel consumption by making more efficient cars is eaten away by our appetite for the road. If you really want to see benefits, drive less and take public transportation. If you don't have public transportation, elect people that will see to it that it is built.
