The drones America uses are piloted by humans. The other robot in use by the military is the one that disables bombs. It also is remote controlled by a human. I don't think the military has any non piloted robots deployed in combat. Even a turret would be too dangerous. An automated turret could kill our own troops. Closest thing we have is landmines.
Not sure what your asking? You always have 10X candidates who were good enough but not chosen. That is true if you pick the top, bottom, or first come first serve. So I guess you just tell them the same thing that you were saying before.
I would think Sony would include an optical drive because they helped invent CDs, DVDs, and Blue Ray disks. I can see them inventing new DRM for disks. But I don't see them making that DRM a PS3 exclusive.
I also don't see much difference in a missle blowing up the asteroid and the atmosphere or land destroying the asteroid. In both case your going to have a shockwave. You would have to destroy it in space to minimize damage.
In order for Google to fit that deffinition they would have to trade in apps. They don't ever buy apps from developers so no trade is occuring. They would likely argue that they don't sell apps either. However they label the the marketplace as labeled "Google Play Store" on peoples phones. The "Google Play Store" also has "Accept and buy" buttons and it. Developers are labled as "Developers" not as "Sellers".
No, in your drive to work analogy the progress bar going backwards is a detour. Because of the detour the distance has increased. I think the bar going backwords tells the users information. It tells the user that the install is not going as planned.
No you can't erase yourself from the internet. Free Speech means people can talk about you. They can talk about where you live, what you did, and all the things they hate about you. You may be able to erase a few things you posted here or there, but you can't erase history without trampling on peoples civil rights.
No they colluded on price as well. They came up with "suggested" tiers for new releases. For best sellers the price would be X on release day, Y after a few months, and then settle at Z.
Nope. Publishers were still setting wholesalse prices in the distributor model. When Amazon set price at $9.99 for a book with a $20 suggested retail price the publisher was making $9.99 on the book. Under agency model they set the prices at $15 and got to keep 2/3s. So they made $9.99 per book. Publishers made more money per book in the distributtor model because with lower prices there were more sales. But driving sales to digital would kill the whole point of having a publisher. Publishers only provide benifit to authors in the print world. They are dinosours and they know it. So they intentionally raised prices to slow digital down. And they used an agreement that made sure other publishers did the same.
Bookstores went out of buisness under Apples agency model not under Amazons. Agency model went into effect in 2010 Borders went out of buisness in 2011.
I don't understand the above statement. Obama is the democratically elected comander in chief. This memo that leaked was a memo to Congress. Congress is still democratically elected. Assasinating terrorists American or otherwise is hugely popular in the United States. Obama would not have been elected if he was against it. There is nothing paticullarly communist or capitalist about assasination either.
So What? They still exist and some branch of our goverment must deal with them. Leadership of an army located outside US soil is not going to turn themselves over to a trial. Do you want a show trail where the accused is convicted without them being present? Do you want Congress to vote on who we assasinate? Some sort of assasination warrent process where the courts approve assasinations proposed by the president? None of those is legal.
The US has the first-sale doctrine. The first sale doctrine doesn't say that the company selling you the good has to enable or help you resell. It just says that they can't prevent you from reselling using legal means (i.e. lawsuits, injunctions, etc).
I don't believe the above is true. The first-sale doctrine is part of US Anti Trust laws. Any effort to shut down second hand markets could be prosecuted under anti trust laws. The whole point of these locks is price fixing.
First sale doctrine in the USA was invented for a non-physical things. It was invented for books. For physical things the doctrine doesn't need to exist because copyright doesn't cover physical things. First Sale has always been about things that cost nothing to "replicate."
Anything sold in a web "store" with a "buy" button is a sale. These products even have 20% off "sales." If they were honest about licensing or renting out games then they would be labeled as such.
It has less to do with getting people to use cash than it is about keeping the surcharges down. When the surcharge was hidden Visa could raise the surcharge every year with no market consequence. Now if Visa raises the surcharge then people will use credit cards less. In theory this will cause the surcharge to go down. With lower prices retailers can sell more products and make more money.
Also where do you want to work? Are you willing to move to California? Do you need to stay in the midwest or southeast? Are you willing to move to Mexico City?

Why hire the top X candidates? Just hire X good enough candidates for these jobs.

Thats is the point. It brings attention to the patent examiner that the solution is trivial. More patents will be rejected for obviousness.

tested by the RIAA several hundred times.
the RIAA tried to erase themselves from the internet? Why didn't we let them?

There is oversight. The president is comander in chief. He oversees the war. Not congress and not the courts.
Terrestrial radio doesn't pay the recording artist anything. Radio only pays the songwriter and the publisher.

How long w ill that last after a court declares they have to change all the buy buttons to rent buttons. People don't want to rent a $9.99 game.
Not really. If Antique sells copies of the Game of Thrones season 2 for 1 penny then they could limit their losses by quite a bit.
