Actually she said she had 11,000 songs on Itunes and only purchased 15 physical albums. (The context was another article where the author ripped a bunch of music and then destroyed the cds) She never said she stole all of those songs. She did spend several paragraphs describing the music she did steal. But there is no breakdown of what is stolen and what was purchased through Itunes.
I think your risk assesment is off. First half of deaths to guns are suicides. For homocides 75% of those killed have a criminal record. The number of handguns used in crime (approximately 7,500 per year) is very small compared to the approximately 70 million handguns in the United States.
I would say number 1 is a strawman. Instead you have the following:
1) Militais that are afraid of the U.S. Goverment. They are stockpiling weapons to defend against a military coup.
2) Macho dudes who like to pretend they are rambo. They shoot weapons at the firing range. They don't want their hobby outlawed.
3) Hunters
4) People who are at risk of criminal assult. IE old men who live in gang controlled neighborhoods. Divorced woman with abusive ex husbands. Kid working at a 7-11 that was robbed three time last year.
I believe the cheap Personal Sound Amplifier that cost like $30 are using off the shelf hardware from headphones and Bluetooth headsets. From what I read the frequencies they tend to amplify doesn't match what most people have lost. Some are still are boosting bass frequencies for music. Others are noisy. Maybe people will get lucky and the better tech will be added to cheap earbuds. For an earbud manufacturer adding the above features would cost pennies per device. They would have no use to most buyers though.
Personal Sound Amplifier's are basically unregulated hearing aids that are not for "hearing loss."
They are basically the amp + mike + equalizer that the poster described. You can buy them for $20 to $30.
No one knows the risks of using them compared to hearing aids since they don't get the same kind of testing.
No the article links to a website named www.inventorofemail.com that Ayyadurai owns. He owns a bunch of similer sites. Ayyadurai did claim he invented email.
Noam Chomsky and the linked website go out of the way to not mention Ray Tomlinson. Mr Chomsky does not compare Tomlinson's program from 1971 to Ayyadurai's program in 1977. A real argument would go feature by feature and explain what was present and what was missing. Instead Chomsky pretends Tomlinson doesn't exist. The linked site http://www.inventorofemail.com/ even has the gall to refer to Tomlinson as a mascot instead of using his name. All evidense is hand waved away with no explanation. Why do the RFC not count? No explanation. For some reason Chomsky is hung up on what the program is named. Suddendly naming your invention in english is important.
Earing 50K - 100k is not low wage slave work. H1b have saleries higher than most Americans. While temporary they contribute to the economy by buying American goods and buying American services while they are here. Only a fraction of their saleries leave America in the form of money sent home. A outsourced worker living in India spends his pay in India.
And the big problem with H1B visas is that they artificially DRIVE DOWN the average salary
I would say it is the reverse. Limiting imigration into this country artificially drives up the average salary. It isn't natural for someone in country a to be paid less than someone in country b when they are doing the same work. The fact that you feal entitled to have your salary subsidized by the goverment is ridiculous. Your not entitled to the handout the goverement is giving you.
No he didn't. Apple invented the first truly viable pocket computer. Apple employs engineers and scientists. Many of whom left and then invented other smart phones for other companies.
Rockefeller and Carnegie were CEOs that history remembers because of philanthropy. Because of they way they spent their money their name is on all kinds of stuff. From libraries, colleges, streets, and prizes. Gates will be remembered as that kind of CEO. Jobs wasn't an inventor like Thomas Edison. He didn't invent Pixar, the IPhone, or the personal computer. Ford isn't remembered because he made the best cars. He is remembered because he changed American industry. Jobs hasn't done anything like that. Apple hasn't shared with other companies the secrets of its success. There are no companies out there imitating Apple and making the margins Apple is making.
Maybe they should consider new branding. Without any context the above article could be about any technology or company.
ABC hasn't finalized the upcoming DEF standard yet, but it seems they left out licensing some crucial IP for (the already finalized and shipping) ASDFGH
I don't think BitTorrent delivers bits in a way that they can be streamed. I believe you get random chunks. Could be wrong it has been awhile sense I used BitTorrent.
Make sure there is talent though. If you work under the wrong people you will learn to write crappy code. Find the right mentor and you can really learn some cool things. I learned more in 1 year under a good mentor than what I learned in the previous three years.
meh most of the identity is lost when the homophone is created. And your giving me too much credit. My spelling is just terrible. Nothing to do with TV shows or comic book characters.
Hasn't Best Buy always been that way though? Wasn't that their strategy from the start? I think they got a big boost from the switch from CRT to LCDs. Then they coasted on TV's being important. A customer went to Best Buy to get a better selection of TVs. Now LCDs are a commodity and TV's still take up a thrid of the store.
I think some languages become popular simply because they are preinstalled and free on a given platform. They are available by default so why not use them.

So property doesn't exist because it can be stolen?? Logic fail.

Not sure about good. But walgreens sells something for $19.99 listed as a personal sound amplifier. http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/walgreens-listen-up-micro-personal-sound-amplifier/ID=prod3984556-product
Does Fortran allow a hyphen in program names at that time? If not then you can't even say he dropped the hyphen.

Any hotel that is not changing the sheets I never want to use.
Woosh! We are laughing at the how childish the whole thing was. Only children go around bragging about their penis. No one is actually scandalized.
His work consisted of funding it. Writing a check is not something worth talking about.

Ah but Lisp is a success even though no programmer actually uses it.
There is a Chuck Norris joke in there somewhere. Keep trying.
I think Best Buy is just another victim of the low low margins on TVs. As a store selling TVs it's future is grimm.
