nope, I don't work for them or even use their product. I just read the website. (Though not completely - I did overlook the more applicable quote "Private Master Password: The user’s master password, and the keys used to encrypt and decrypt user data, are never sent to LastPass’ servers, and are never accessible by LastPass.")
from How It Works: Local-Only Encryption User data is encrypted and decrypted at the device level. Data stored in the vault is kept secret, even from LastPass.
Now, you don't have to believe that if you don't want to, but unless you have evidence I'm gonna say you appear to be mistaken in your understanding of how it works.
Bundling in cable is a little weird, yeah. At McDonald's, the meal deals are cheaper than buying all the parts, but still more expensive than all but one.
As I understand it, while they have to pay for the high-demand channels (ESPN), they get paid to carry the low demand stuff, and presumably each customer who is nominally getting cable TV results in a little more money for them, for no extra infrastructure.
Okay, so it's not the capitalism, it's the republic of laws that prevents enslavement. How are laws that prevent enslavement not in fact regulations that affect the market for labor?
I'm not seeing what in True Capitalism prevents the enslaving. Are we just falling back to the laws of the republic for that? In which case how are such laws not in fact regulations affecting the market for labor (at least)?
Nah. Jailbreaks are going to be a small percentage of users, so shipping secure gear will result in all but a small percentage of the gear being secure, rather than the current case of only a small percent being secure (that owned by folks who take the time to secure it).
Steamboat Willie would be, but Mickey himself is trademarked, so while (if the copyright ever actually expired) you would be able to make something derivative of SW (like a remake with other characters, or using clips of it in something), you'd still have issues making new stuff claiming to use Mickey Mouse as a character.
it sounded to me less like he was annoyed with people recording and more with not being able to see the people for all the devices. I wonder how he'd do with an audience with a bunch of google glasses?
0.1% is only non-negligible if you expect it to eat significantly into your gains. If you're expecting gains that small (say, under 1%), why would you buy it as a long-term holding?
So maybe you're not doing it as a long term holding. Maybe you're doing it very short-term and you expect to get small gains many times. That's... pretty much exactly the behavior that the proposal is intended to discourage. Sounds like it works. What's the problem again?
well, it's 121 years, but according to this article on Lord Kelvin, he said something like that (not exact - but exactness was not specified). I'm inclined to give him the year.
The "inflationary period" theory does indicate that space expanded at rates faster than light would be able to travel (for a while - the description I read of the theory says it was done by 10^-32 seconds after the big bang and that in that time the universe expanded by 10^26 or more), but it seems that since it was space expanding and not matter moving through space, it's not considered a contradiction - like saying that a boat with a top speed of 10 knots relative to the water could be carried by a fast current at 30 knots relative to land (those numbers were pulled out of the air - if you know boats and those are insane, please don't hold it against me:)
as far as I can tell it doesn't matter - dark matter is invoked to explain why individual galaxies don't fall apart, because the mass we can see doesn't seem to be enough to keep it together at the rate they spin; having more galaxies doesn't change that.
(I find it amusing that dark matter is handwaving why big things don't fly apart and dark energy is handwaving why bigger things do:) But I'm weird:)
I get both, though the DVD catalog is wearing out over time and the stuff I'm interested in is niche enough to not get replaced promptly (or at all...) so at some point I will probably drop that side.
At a workplace, I'd blame the manager. But nobody assigns people to work on the linux kernel, as far as I'm aware, and there's not a lot of actual consequences for bad action except reputation loss, are there?
This particular project is pretty much hardware, unless you're counting the FPGA config as the software. Check out http://retrogaming.hazard-city... for a description (it's a review, but it has pictures and some explanation of functionality).
It sure proves that Apple was wrong to remove the iPhone jack for over 30 million iPhone 7s sold so far that a few hundred people want to buy a case with a jack in it...
It really doesn't, but since I wasn't trying to, that's not relevant. I was just saying that I think the company is not going to have "almost zero sales".

yep, that's why I said you can believe it or not, as you choose.

they kind of do, actually - not having all of those can get your house condemned, in some places. Huntsville, for example...

I disagree with your "Unless" sentence, unless you add the clause "instead of running away".

Actually, saving a significant fraction of his income makes him distinctly non-average...

Very true, but that's not the question I was addressing. The question I was replying to is "who said something like that 120 years ago".
Ah, cool. I was pretty sure that they had other reasons besides galactic spin by now, but I didn't realize that the units worked out that way. Thanks!

Patent and trademark infringement are not criminal offenses either; they're civil cases.

is being a brain in a tank better or worse than being chained to a wall in a cave watching shadow puppets?
Just from the summary I was thinking someone had taken this a little too much to heart :)
