Just wait until it's too expensive to drive around. There will be con men who will sell crude oil that has been 'naturally aged for millions of years' to clueless folks with more money than sense. They'll use it lightly to dress their salads and to flaver their roasted entrees.
Everything they can do to harm us is still less of a threat than cops, heart disease, canacer, and plentyof other things. They could be pure, unadulterated evil, but they are fucking impotent.
Last time I checked, the 5C was more or less a 5 with a few parts changed out for equal-speed but lower power usage. Roughly the equivalent of a slim playstation release. Even if you consider it enough change to be a new phone, it doesn't appear to be all that different from the 5S. It's less powerful and lacks some of the features, but it isn't like it's going in a drastically different direction. It's a little more of a difference than models with more storage capacity would be.
I think the real difference would be the spread of the disease. The assumption is that 200 million people in the US contract the disease. Such a rate would almost imply that everybody is TRYING to get sick.
"Exponentially larger" isn't a sensible phrase. What you would probably look for here would generally be 'order(s) of magnitude' larger. However, the largest country is China, with ~1.25 billion, which is not even a single order of magnitude larger than the US and it's ~300 Million.
Relatively speaking, our national debt isn't too bad compared to our GDP. Many European countries have considerably higher ratios. That's not to say it isn't a concern, but there are many in much worse states than we are.
Except that there were at least some degree of ties with Al-Qaeda and our trifling in Afghanistan to piss off the Soviets. Also, it's worth noting that Bin Laden's stated goal was to drive the US into wars of attrition with the US and western nations to undermine their economies. Mission fucking accomplished.
In other words, Terrorism is not actually a real threat, but it's designed to make you act irrationally out of fear, The answer is not act irrationally out of fear, but be careful about using your budget, but to not act irrationally out of fear. Also, to quit being dicks on the international stage and stop being involved in political coups.
The usage of a 'whoosh' sound for the doors kind of throws your theory out the window. Also, I'm more concerned about the mindset of someone who has this set at their place of work controlling limitless information on everyone.
Is there enough change in the brain waves of teenagers to detect their growth as being a different person? What about certain disorders that might not effect one's ability to drive or just aging in general? Also, why would it matter if you are drunk of sleepy if your car drives itself?
So, the parties that don't benefit are research companies that come up with truly innovative ways of doing things and use software patents. Why don't you talk about the effects on unicorns and elves while you're at it?
The specific problem that Stallman faced was that he couldn't GET the source code, which is a bit different than not coming with source code. And while it does allow copyleft software to have a requirement of source distribution, it also props up business models for which denying users the four freedoms is key component. For even freedoms 1 and 3, copyright is probably a net negative, and for freedoms 0 and 2, it definitely is.
No. In fact, informed transactions only happen when there is a benefit for both parties. Ignoring that the economics are very different for the tangible and intangible, a key element of all economies as we know them is the benefit of division of labor. Even at actual disadvantage, it is better for both parties to trade so long as a comparative advantage exists. This is literally entry level economics.
He doesn't sell it very well. He mentions the things that each portion of law DOESN'T do as an advantage. However, said thing is often done by another portion of the law, and without those laws, FOSS communities can do anything they wanted. The closest to an actual advantage listed is the DMCA's safe harbor, which is probably less than we would have had received had a court ruled on the issue. He has somewhat of a point about trademark, but it's a mixed bag, and far from the best vehicle for source designation in its current form. All in all, though this jackass demosntrates perfect why GNU considers "Intellectual Property" a word to avoid.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
A friend of mine has no problem playing it on the couch in a fairly large room. That's about as far you would expect to go if someone wants to watch TV.
That could work, although the data used for panning, volume control, and effects would be lost. However, even if that info couldn't be turned into a standardized text-based format, you could have nigh perfect preservation with pre-tracks and stereo post tracks. However, that might be something beyond what is reasonably within the capacity of most engineers. especially if they want other engineers to be able to import it. A standardized project file format, likely using XML, identifying all of the information and automation in a project would be nigh perfect, although I have my doubts that such a standard could be reached among major DAW makers. They want lock-in, and open standards prevent that.
He might be speaking of the project files themselves. How long will you be able to use a Pro Tools 11 project file? I seem to recall difficulties with some major DAW in getting files to work on both Windows and OS X.

You are more likely to die by an actual terrorist than a government labeled terrorist.

Why would Microsoft pay for an article attacking their BFF?

Yes, there are terrorist threats to the US, and they are less of a threat than bathtubs.
The latter kind of fool being commonly known as a 'politician.'

I'm not sure if that's a good point for comparison, as ed is the standard text editor.

Is the file itself well documented and in a text-based format?
