Digital format counts as licensing, since there's no physical media to distribute. Therefore, there is no "first sale doctrine" when applied to digital formats. Don't like it? Stick to physical media.
...the fact he won't let you deal with multi-media data on external USB/FireWire drives on Mac OS X, the FUD he had the company spread about OGG/Vorbis...
Say what? As they say on Wikipedia, citation(s) needed.
Heh.:) I started watched Index after having seen Railgun, and as you say, it's just not nearly as interesting. Even the 4 episodes or so with the side characters came off well.
Ah, you just live in the wrong place. Any decently sized city will have a Repertory cinema or two around. And if you're really fortunate, you get something like Bell Lightbox: http://tiff.net/films/winter
Those are from the Facebook Social Plug-ins that sites can choose to run. If you're logged out of FB and go to the site, it won't show you anyone on your Friends list. It's not an App on FB at all. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/
They already do. The traffic in Beijing and Shanghai was heavy and semi-chaotic when I was there 5 years ago. However, they all seemed to know how to drive with 3 across on 2 lanes and just get on with it.
India I'd be more worried about: they tend to drive against traffic on highways at night.
Wild hair notwithstanding, Moore's been at the top of his game these past 10+ years IMO. Dunno if I'm that interested in this one, although I did enjoy the movie.
Angry Birds on iOS asks to use Location Services. I have no idea why, there's nothing site-specific about the game. It also costs $0.99, so it's not like they need geo-targeted ads to support themselves.
Same thing if you buy a record album. You get a license for the music that is tied to ownership of the physical good. It's been like for decades, but no one seems to have read that part of the liner notes. Hell, it's usually printed right on the label in the middle.
Note to self: Also order coffee machines integrated with intravenous delivery control modules to inject more caffeine when the fatigue level goes above threshold into these bitching and moaning, belly aching malingerers, when their caffeine systems have too much blood in them.
It's not Randall's fault, but, xkcd is a cancer on the Internet strangling creativity. Nerds need to stop repeating their boring catchphrases constantly.
Laffo. Because one guy with a crudely drawn comic is somehow bringing down the entire internet. Get a grip.

100% public-schooled children will never get the desire to learn that they need.
What laughable bullshit.

Got a source for that? I'd genuinely like to know.
Duh! It's bat country, silly!
Yeah, wouldn't want to step out of the echo chamber.

Yeah, backing up digital files is hard.
Yeah, people sure were writing their own programs to run on their Coleco Telstar systems.

Gorilla Glass is made out of gorillas, like Girl Scout cookies.

False equivalence, rear your head!
Well, then, see you next Thursday.
What? There are ads, a banner at the top and a box ad on the side when you're in a story.

So go to the store and rent it, problem solved.
Piracy? Of the game? It's a free download from the market.
It costs $0.99 for iOS, where it was first released.

My brain isn't working right today, can someone help me out here?
No, it sounds like JohnKatz has already infected your brain, and sadly there is no cure :(
No, what you're buying on iTunes is a license

Or cut out caffeine to your team altogether, be more productive: http://youarenotsosmart.com/2010/02/22/coffee/
When you go grocery shopping with a list, and only buy the things on the list, problem is fucking solved.
Better make it Quaker State.
