I'm pretty sure that the MPAA could sue this guy's ass off, and people all over the place would scream bloody murder for about a week. After which they would resume their normal media addiction, as if nothing had happened.
To be fair, however, this guy did ignore the law when he did this... no matter how noble his intentions To that extent, it stands that there ought to be some pretty serious repercussions for what he did. I do *not* think that the MPAA should be allowed to financially benefit from it, however... except to the extent that the realized consequences might discourage others from doing something similar later.
...but when you start picking apart sentences in an English translation of a Latin translation of a Greek translation of Hebrew or Aramaic, you're just trying to justify what you already think.
False example. The major existing English translations of the bible in existence today are not derived from any Latin translations. Almost all are translated directly from the original languages (or what is currently believed to have been the original languages) of ancient Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic. Any similarity between the Latin translation and the English one arises because they are both translated from the same source material, not because the latter came from the former.
The phrasing of the statement appears to imply a rather disgusted tone, which, in turn, implies that some sort of unspoken racist intent must have been at work.
It's not like I was the only one who read his statement as some sort of notion that he was suggesting that the makers may have been biased against certain people based on the color of their skin... and while I realize that such appeal to the majority does not necessarily make me right, it does seem to make my conclusion one that it is not unreasonable in that regard.
Generally speaking, you can see through it both ways... that's a huge drawback of glass in a lot of cases.
Tint or color, if any is present, is not changeable electronically
I expect also that this doesn't remove the disadvantage of having to replace an entire pane when it gets cracked... where having something you could treat in-place and the crack would simply disappear would be ideal.
Which does not change the fact that life, and even intelligent life are verifiable possibilities in the universe: we do exist, so the process can be repeated somewhere else
I've boldfaced part of your remark above, because I felt it important to give it full context, but it is only that part I wanted to address.
I would suggest that this is actually a fallacious conclusion. All that we really know for certain is that the conditions in the universe *were* at least at one point in time, actually possible, resulting in our own existence. Although I'll concede that it's probably a pretty safe bet that if it happened once it ought to be possible to happen again, this extrapolation is by no means absolutely certain.
There is nothing about an infinite expanse of time and space that makes singular and unique events impossible... only, at best, unlikely.
In any set of things, regardless of what they are, there is a inescapable concept of quantity, or cardinality. Natural numbers are a direct measure of how far from empty or nothing such a quantity of something is.
I'm pretty sure they aren't abstract. They are called "natural" for a reason.
There are actually several reasons that Apple had for avoiding Flash, and I'm inclined to think that most (not all) were rather good ones. They don't avoid Adobe completely... their ibook reader handles PDF fairly well (although I do wish that the bookmark facility supported openable and closeable nested bookmarks, rather than just always having them all expanded out)
I'm genuinely not sure how to exactly one's mind would have to work to even have noticed this without somebody else mentioning it to them (which in turn would raise the question of where the previous person heard it, and so on... where the causal chain ultimately reveals one sick-minded puppy).
Do you ordinarily go out of your way just to correlate any kind of entirely coincidental absence of a minority with the implication of deliberate racism, or is this just a one-time thing?
I might suggest that although their measurements are made before Victor's decision, I expect that the results of their measurements could not reliably be communicated to Victor prior to his decision.
And, similarly, you can safely avoid antivirus software provided you abstain from connecting your computer to anything
Where it can be shown that the mere act of simply connecting the computer to a network creates a clear and present infection risk, then yes. Windows isn't *QUITE* that bad... at least not when coupled with sound administrative practices (not visiting unknown websites, avoiding software that has not prescreened, users not having administrative privileges, etc).
You can avoid condoms safely... you just have to avoid having sex with people you can't say are certainly uninfected, abstaining entirely if you must.
Interestingly enough, that analogy is still actually applicable back to avoiding anti-malware... you just avoid doing the things that are liable to result in infection.
It's always been a good idea to have a virus scanner on a Mac - at the very least, it's a courtesy to users of other platforms who may be more vulnerable to any infectious crap you may pick up without realizing.
Sure... when people who run other platforms that are more susceptible to viruses start paying me for the CPU time and other computing resources that the virus scanner must utilize on a system that *I* paid for.
Article doesn't say where the actual terminated individual resides, but I know that in some parts of the world, firing somebody via email could be construed as unnecessarily harsh, and end up putting the company squarely in line for a wrongful dismissal charge against them.
It probably means that they realize that they've come to a point in the project where crowdsourcing QA is more cost-effective than using internal QA. This isn't because their internal QA is incompetent, it's because they are only just so many.
... for people to realize that patents on ways to accomplish a desired goal, particularly when the goal does not involve manufacturing or processing of any physical goods or materials, are fundamentally a bad idea?

Slackware isn't really a base distro... although it obsoleted the distro that spawned it, SLS.
Longer. Although only by a matter of weeks.
exactly.

Do you seriously think that the general public would actually stop their precious movie-going habits just because the MPAA does something unpopular?

What's the dual use for the theory of gravity?

It's fixed enough of them that the simple act of hooking a (up-to-date patched) windows xp computer up to a network does not tend to compromise it.

There's something fundamentally flawed with what amounts to using an elaborate grep command to ensure computer security.

The only reason I own a Mac at all is so that I can do IOS development for non-jailbroken devices.
IOS isn't my favorite platform by far, but it's kinda hard to just continue ignore that market
Air resistance is more dependant on the shape of the vehicle than its simple size.
So the linux virus was nothing more than a proof of concept.
Flying cars have been proven as a concept, by the way... guess how soon most people will be driving one?
