  1. Re:Commercial Theaters are a waste of time and mon on Austin's Alamo Drafthouse Theater Gives Texters the Boot · · Score: 1

    Management did put their money where their mouth is. The policy is *explicitly* "no refunds", stated several times before the movie and in the lobby.

    Although, actually, they didn't completely follow the policy. It's stated as one warning.

    No one under 6 allowed, except on Baby Day (first couple of Matinees every Tuesday)

    Wow, I didn't know Amazon was headquartered in CA where their employees could vote on these reps.

    Individuals already owe the tax (see Use Tax) and need to remit it. The out of state companies can be left out of this, there shouldn't be any burden on them.

    It needs to be separate from apps, and more importantly, not possible to do from apps.

    Possibly a physical switch on the phone to enable it, or something along those lines. With massive warnings making it near impossible to do anything while it's possible to install a key.

    Taxation without Representation sounds like a good reason to me.

    Make the buyer responsible, not the seller, which is ALREADY the way it is in most states.

    At most? Apple had exploited Java vulnerabilities that were patched by Sun for more than a year. What makes you think they can update things in a day, even if the capability is there?

    So one of the malicious apps installs the key and you're back to square one.

    There's a glaring flaw in your reasoning.

    Malware authors don't want to wreck your system. They want to get value out of your system. That doesn't need root.

    Linuxes mode is even more powerful than Windows. It's just not commonly used because it's a pain to manage.

    it was simply too much hassle to put the extra gumpf needed for it into the handhelds at the time while keeping size etc down

    Simplest implementation is an if test. What extra gumpf?

    Actually, yes, it is illegal to leave keys in your car ignition.

    So both get the charges and insurance doesn't cover it.

    If you leave your keys the ignition in the car here and it gets stolen, guess who gets charges brought against them.
