In America, there is a higher law governing the rule of law. The Supreme Court is the only court authorized to address that. Each State also has their own constitution, which provides their State Supreme Court the power to decide if a law is faulty and should be excepted or wholly stricken.
What is the point of being one country when all states act like their own countries, have their own laws and pretty much duplicate everything except change the word president to governor.
Yes. It is called "Opportunity Cost". It is proven and valid.
Here is an extremely simple example: I earn $20 an hour. I can go work for 8 hours or play a game for 8 hours. If I work, I get $160. If I game, I don't get anything (In monetary measure anyway).
Therefore, by gaming I just lost $160 that I could of had.
So, to bring it to the issue at hand: EA's game costs $50. There are 1000 teenagers salivating to play it. If they all buy it: EA gets $50,000.
However, 500 pirated. Therefore EA got $25,000 instead. Thus piracy costs them $25,000 in opportunity cost.
So by not gaining, you do indeed lose something.
Maybe I should put in a claim for all the money I've not earned while playing games/listening to music/watching films then.
OT, but you didn't look very hard at all, then. The very first links on Google for "Smartphone Market Share" show WP with 3.2-3.3% for Q1 2014, and on a rising trajectory. (https://www.comscore.com/Insights/Market-Rankings/comScore-Reports-March-2014-US-Smartphone-Subscriber-Market-Share). The top (non-Wikipedia) link on Bing for the same search is less precise but says 3%. (http://www.cio.com/article/751867/U.S._Smartphone_Market_Share_Numbers_for_Q1_2014). Those are US numbers; the European numbers are significantly higher. It's still the third-place platform, but it *is* third place behind the two giants.
What's in fourth place? As it stands today there are only three horses and the other two are miles away.
until the last months of MtGox's earthly existence, pretty much every Bitcoin advocate and site were directing people to MtGox, until it was indeed too late to get anything out anymore.
Religion, education and government should be three separate and distinct entities, in reality you can sometimes barely tell when one ends and the other begins. Fuck beta? Fuck Gove!
Are these 'Dial-a-Ride' outfits insured? Are the drivers licensed for chauffeur work? Are their vehicles inspected? Have the drivers had a background check or would I be riding with Joe Random Felon?
I'm not sure if your describing a taxi driver or not? Half the taxi drivers where I live look like they have been, or are going, to prison. If I could get a ride with a random guy going the same way and give him some cash as thanks I would take that every time.
Why not ask this supposed 'partner'. They're such the comic geek after all and it will give you stuff to talk about and bond and all that crap. That is if this person even exists.
There should be a place that a man and his family don't have to retreat from. This what makes you a man rather than a peasant. This is what makes you something other than property.
The idea that you aren't allowed to defend your family is what is really abhorent here.
You're perfectly allowed to defend yourself/family. A gun isn't the only means of doing so.
...and it might still have time to beat PlayStation 4 if the next Mario Kart makes people actually buy it...
This is what's wrong with Nintendo. Oh we'll put out another Maro Kart, then it'll be Super Smash Bros, then Zelda or Maria, then the other one, then back to start. They might throw a Metroid in there to spice things up now and again. They need a whole load more third party games not more of the same first party.
What else could you expect from a country, reigned by the QUEEN? When you look things deep down, there are no democratical foundations in this country, there is only "because-I-can" principle. So don't expect human rights and fair trials.
You do know the queen does little more than stand around looking pompous?
Just don't and say you did. "Oh those two guys, yeah they were guilty, the evidence was overwhelming but ya'know classified innit so I cant talk about it. Biiiiig secret"
The two guys probably don't even exist, the Judge just wants to play GTA or something for a bit and not be disturbed in his secret court. Probably has pillow forts and everything.
If we want to reach any other galaxy we're going to have to be going a hell of a lot faster than the speed of light.
Yes, but this is a physics article and not a science fiction one so there is both a speed limit and no Wookies available.
That's not to say the speed of light could not be exceeded by a hitherto unknown method. No Wookies required, but I don't think they are known as masters of FTL or anything anyway so that does not make sense.
So they've finally brought some stuff up to standard? I fully admit I haven't used one of these for a long while, but not long enough. Like I said, bollocks to your streaming my music from the cloud and any itunes integration, at all. Your idevice might me fine for the bunch of people who don't know what a.mp3 is. They obviously don't know enough to make an informed choice about anything really and would probably suit an ipos just fine, my granny loves hers.
Lastly, I don't like your assumptions that if you don't know anyone who has tv shows or movies on their phone (pirate or not) it must be imaginary. It's outside your garden and you can fuck off. I also don't like the way you used lastly three times. That's just bad writing.

Why do we still have these antiquated data caps?
Oh, that's right, greed.
Why does a screensaver, on a TV no less, need the fucking internet?
For those not clicking links, this is what T-Mobile had to say about this:
Blah blah blah, unfounded allegations, blah blah blah, customer first, blah blah blah, we're totally innocent, blah blah blah release the lawyers, blah blah blah, join our network.
-- John Legere, CEO of T-Mobile USA
He is the dawg, the big bad dawg, bounty hunter!
My home comp is still on XP, so there's one.

Sounds like a ponzi scheme to me.

Except in the real world, a 100 lb woman cannot beat up a 250 lb man
One swift knee in the happy sack and he'll drop like anyone else.
So you want to get into comics she's not into? Great plan.
Why not ask this supposed 'partner'. They're such the comic geek after all and it will give you stuff to talk about and bond and all that crap. That is if this person even exists.
There is nothing wrong with the attitude.

Canada does indeed do that stupid shit. The people who call the shots up here want to be just like america in every way possible.
The Canadian gov even has a copyright on it's own flag, they can and will issue a takedown if you use it in a way they don't like.
I wonder if this means that people without a Kinect, or games with the Kinect disabled, won't be able to use voice control?
No, they fact they don't have a kinect or have it disabled means they won't be able to use voice controls.

Buy drones instead. They are rapidly making aircraft obsolete.
Not to be pedantic, but drones are aircraft.

Either way, if you went there, I'd have to wait 5 million years for you to get back.

Perhaps he's a trifle more educated than you are?
Why, did he study custard and jelly with a minor in cream?
