The acetaminophen supposedly has an advantage in pain treatment, but if that were the sole purpose, you could just advise them to take some Tylenol in addition to their pain pill. That would almost certainly work out better, and would be far easier to scale for chronic pain patients.
Another bizarre thing done to prevent abuse is the inclusion of dangerous chemicals in otherwise fairly safe recreational substances, such as canned air.or nitrous oxide.
I think the issue is that this drug doesn't have acetaminophen, so someone in chronic pain and a high tolerance can take a lot of it without destroying their liver. This also means that it's safer for recreational usage, which theoretically is a concern since they've removed a consequence of addiction.
Poor quality graphics. Ridiculously complex infographics. Irrelevant pictures. Overuse of mantras. Incredible lack of consistency. A powerpoint presentation this bad has to be from a government or a large corporation.
If SUNOCO regularly bundled cars with their gas, it might be a better analogy. They seem rather intent on customizing the phones they sell by loading crapware and putting their logos on them, so it's not an unreasonable burden.
That said, I would prefer the technology to be FOSS, audited by multiple governments and NGOs that are not on friendly terms, and have the keys or other authentication used be privately held by default.
The effect transaction fees have on vendors is pretty important, as it lowers the price floor, making smaller transactions more reasonable. Whether or not that's good or not is a different manner, but it's the key behind all this microtransaction stuff.
That and the fact that the bar has been set along the lines of selling nuclear secrets to the Russians, not haphazardly exposing government jackassery.
Why not focus those efforts on helping secure platforms from those same techniques? You know, so we can help avoid the next Target debacle and the economic damages that come with it. I know it's not as sexy, but it will be better for everyone.
I'm pretty sure that there is no precedent that makes it clear that claimants DO have to consider fair use, other wise there would be an enormous threat of undermining the first amendment.
It does dramatically change things, assuming that the concentrations of these chemicals are roughly the same. The headline suggests an active change has occurred, while the actually story is that we now know of more chemicals that are potentially harmful. There's a big difference between an increase in brain damage and a chance to reduce brain damage.
Why is more and more? Europe has a stable population, and our biological needs have been more or less unchanged for longer than we have been Homo Sapiens.
I believe the point was to show the degree to which video game graphics had changed. Can you think of a popular game at the same time that had significantly better graphics than SMB? It likely wasn't the best, but is far more popular than other contemporaries.
It is a silly analogy, because there are fundamental differences between typical masonry and software development. One very important factor is gravity. Gravity makes the top and the bottom have very different relationships. If the bricks at the bottom of a wall are uneven, it is very difficult to correct it, and will likely cause a unfixable permanent defect. However, that is not necessarily true in software. It's quite possible that a core, underlying piece of the software could be trivially replaced, especially if the developer was following best practices. It may be as simple as passing another string to the compiler to get it to work on another OS or CPU architecture.
Another important distinction would be the ability to check quality at different stages. With a wall, you can regularly check the consistency of the mortar and the evenness of bricks. However, code may not even build until quite a while into development, and some design issues may not be accurately predictable even for a seasoned dev.
Actually, most printers have some identifying marks printed subtly on the paper. Nominally, the purpose is to help catch counterfeiters, but I don't think any moderately successful counterfeiter is using a printer they bought at Staples.
They probably can, given enough money, but 'the capabilities they need' are actually quite modest. The metadata program has no legitimate utility, so just write me a check for half a billion, and I'll build a machine that sits idle and is not connected to the internet, let alone accessible by the NSA. I've solved your problem with equal efficacy and far reduced cost.
That said, the alleged impermanence of a bill can be used as a way of justifying something we would normally object to, and renewals of those bills are lower pressure because they aren't changing the law.
No, a dead tree, which consists largely of cellulose, can stay around for quite a while, even with fungi and bacteria breaking it down. It's most likely still being eaten, just not by an animal.

GEMA's stance is batshit crazy. The RIAA and ASCAP go overboard, but GEMA cranks it up to 11.

The NSA's job isn't 'do whatever they want outside the US.'
People who are not paying bill already do have their service turned off. However, they don't have their phone wiped.

There's also the fact that even with a counter-notice, the debunking stays down for at least 10 days.
correction: there is NOW precedent

Tell your boss he should be fired. If he's going to make bad analogies, they should at least involve cars.
No need to fix that. I said 'nominally' for a reason.

It's really hard to feel all that much pity for DuPont. They have a long history of being enormous pricks.
The war on drugs is an enormous revenue stream for the government, used in combination with civil forfeiture.
