I'm pretty sure a policy that prohibits frank discussion is exactly what will open them up to punitive damages (which a judge needs to approve the pursuit of, and gets to reduce to what they deem appropriate if the jury sets them too high).
This policy will royally fuck them I suspect, not reduce the admission of guilt, any reasonable person can see it as a policy to avoid admitting that there are indeed problems, rather than fixing them (and in the US, a policy of finding and fixing problems goes a long way in a legal defense ).
As I read case 2, you would need 50 people to download from you within 180 days, if you keep your ratios 1:1, that's one download every 3 days, that seems pretty likely for casual use of torrent.
Funnily enough, I spent a week in Detroit (between the Westin and Greek Town), and was impressed by the lack of crackheads. The only drugs anyone tried to sell me were coke (well, it was ridderal...) and Weed, not crack or heroin like I'm used to at home.
The only solicitation I got was from a high-end madame, and not the dirty type of prostitutes I'm used to at home either.
Detroit downtown, vacant, but nicer than Wilmington, DE. So it's got that going for it i guess.
I actually thought the grandparent was satire about gun safety (similar system for a smart gun caused death threats recently).
You may or may not think it's funny, but I highly suspect the mods knew what was going on and thought it was funny, the poster I think clearly does not think like was posted.
I'm not particularly disturbed by the mod, anymore than Jonathan Swift proclaiming we need to eat the poor.
I really like the look of the default theme, and it doesn't look particularly old to me. I think they went smooth gray before Apple even (Apple having slowly been removing their original candy look with every release).
I generally add some spacer between the close and other buttons, and add an always on top button, but otherwise, I think it's great.
1) In the US, downloading illegally is essentially non-punishable (it's the uploader that's in trouble). 2) in the US, copies required to run software (such as memory) are fair use.
I'd say about 3 people I know in the 30-40 range have children 10+, so it's becoming an issue. We all are young enough to have ditched land lines and it is starting to become an issue.
Where I live there is no technical rule, but 12 gives you the presumption of not being a terrible parent if something does happen. When my girlfriend's daughter was 11 we decided it made more sense to let her read if we went to the store for a short trip (less than an hour) than to force her to tag along. We had a gut reaction of hell no, you don't need a phone when she asked for one for Christmas, but eventually, upon thinking about it, decided that it would be convenient for her to get in touch with us (for everyone involved) when she was somewhere else (be it home, or, at a friends, or even at after-care in school trying to arrange hanging out with a friend). Once that decision was made, we went with smart phone, because she could keep in touch with her international grandparents (via social media and email of photos of things in her life), and access to real information seemed like a good thing too, essentially, the same reasons adults use smart phones seemed to apply to children too.
Even if one is to use 12 as the cut-off for home alone, that's two years before credibly being able to afford a phone on one's own, I was honestly curious what somebody completely out of my social bubble's decision was, thanks.
PS, I don't know why I didn't think of no SIM 911 as an option, and at this point, something like skype (on wifi) on a no SIM card would do the trick for the at home situation, but that was less smoothe back then.
I could easily see x number of tabs times y number of cached pages in history counting for something, and that going away when closed and reopened to the same place.
Hmm, there was no AUX button on the stereo and the sales person didn't know about it, but that doesn't really mean much. We did look in center console, but not glove box. It felt very anachronistic, like what I'd expect from a mid-level car 5-10 years older.
Disc changer was being listed as a bonus, but honestly, I'd rather have a tape deck to make a cheesy aux in than a CD changer.
I know that the Hondas and Nissans I was looking at all had ad2p with the mid-level+ trim packages, as did my rental focus a few years ago.
I ended up buying an '06 Honda, because they are easy to clip attachments into the back of the stereo, and buying a Grom Audio kit.
Additionally, OnStar needs to die. It was great in a pre smartphone era, now it's something that interferes with car use. I test drove 2013 impalla, there was no aux in on the stereo, no ad2p for the Bluetooth that, and the sales guy was like, but OnStar and xm radio are great.
Smart phones have made both of those worthless, yet you're trying to tout your high tech car. Worst than the focus I rented with ford sync (which seemed to have am interface designed by an idiot, not reconnecting to ad2p on restart, and two menu items 3 levels deep with the same name (audio settings), and a message to go to audio settings with no path to get ad2p working) which did at least work.
Unless the car is going to act as a large touchscreen for my phone, or have a custom control app so I can control my phone easier while driving (ideally steaeing wheel, and a touch data display) it's worthless. The first needs the phone manufacturers to agree on a standard, the second seems to be the Nissan approach.
I carry a nav, radio, and music library with me, and it's constantly updated, I dont want your custom solution (ford sync, OnStar), I want to use the thing that I change every two years, and have the benefits in the car too.
10 years ago I thought GNU/Linux was silly, but now the largest Linux distribution doesn't really use the GNU part (Android), so it's a lot less silly to refer to traditional distros as GNU/Linux now.
What Linus works on is obviously Linux, I don't know anyone who thought he should all that GNU/Linux.
Depends where you live, most places with meters don't have the space to pull head in, and in areas without meters/lines, it's rare for their to be space for pulling head in if it's urban.
I'm not hyper into gun control, primarily because I don't think trying to make laws right up to the edge of the constitution is a good idea, but it's disingenuous to pretend that easy access to something that kills quickly doesn't increase rage murders, or accidental victims.
It's a lot less likely someone misses with a stab and hits a bystander than with a shot.
I imagine the percent of robberies that end in stabbing death vs stabbing injury is different than the same ratio with guns too.
All that aside, it's really not that many people, and practically nobody gets killed with the type of guns people are trying to regulate anyway.
Is their insurance going to pay-out though? I would be shocked if my policy allows me to drive around people all day for money, and if I injure someone, good luck getting any money from me. OK, well, you can garnish my wages for 15% (max allowed in the state), have fun with your extra few hundred a month I guess.
I think specifically writing a script that is dishonest, in an attempt to get information from a server that is for sale, has been demonstrated to not be allowed (a craigslist searcher did this I believe).
I would think they are on the hook for the cost of the data, and there is a real case for punitive damages too, even if the data itself is not copyrightable in the US (due to the lck of sweat of the brow being relevant for intellectual property here).

I'm olde and busy enough that I can't possibly spend enough on entertainment for it to be worth it.
That and subscription music services. My days of torrenting are basically past.

So four years of 2.5% of budget didn't do much, that's not shocking.

Doesn't Firefox RAM cache the history though?

Do they have land lines?
Or do they leave the kids with no phone at the house?

Doesnt gpl3 also have effects on web services? I thought it folded in agpl.
Wow, thats insane, that has to be worse than typical fm even. At least in an area where you can get clean stations.

They opened the engine, but not the game assets.
Google owns YouTube, they absolutly have an interest in this, and I bet using Google at 28k speeds would suck.
Google never rolls back unprofitable ventures to cut losses!

I bet those garnished wages (the few hundred a month I mentioned) are really helpful if I'm in prison.
I don't really own enough assets that they'd be seized, if I did, then I wouldn't need car insurance to begin with.
Depends where you live, most places with meters don't have the space to pull head in, and in areas without meters/lines, it's rare for their to be space for pulling head in if it's urban.
If all the content is third party, it's not really their game being charged for.
