When I was a kid, they had free-to-play games in the arcades. This was where you stood in front of the machine and pressed buttons while the demo played.
Wouldn't it be easier if their EULA just stated "You agree that any claims, legal proceeding or litigation arising in connection with the magicJack device or Software will be resolved by us ignoring you."
They're both mentioned in the article. And now Halloween is also related, since it's mentioned in the discussion of the summary of the article. And the number 9!
The program, which has been downloaded to 500,000 computers around the world over the past five years, almost literally turns volunteers into Einsteins at home.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
I didn't like vegetables much. I'd only occasionally have broccoli (and only eat the flowers, none of the stem) and sometimes corn. Several years ago I tried some kind of mix of broccoli, peas, and a little bit of onion. Since then, I have a variation of that every day. I wish I'd discovered it sooner, because I love it. Just simple steaming for 10 minutes.
Could be you... And if it is, imagine the years of time on the planet you're costing yourself by stressing about it... Kind sad, if it turns out to be true.
Yeah, imagine all those hours I could have been spending watching more TV. I for one am thankful it made itself not worth watching almost 10 years ago.
And if I'm trying to watch something that's low quality, I'm less likely to enjoy it in the first place. Only if I know I like something and really want to watch it and can't easily change the quality will I put up with low quality.
What does a corporation have to do with property ownership? I fail to see the difference between a corporation and a group of people owning some property and therefore being able to alone decide what gets done with it. Lose the sarcasm, because I'm interested in actually discussing a topic here.
How about the model in which it is illegal for a company to both own the pipes and have any interests in the IP that may be flowing through it?
They wouldn't exactly own the pipes anymore if they couldn't decide what flowed through them. It's funny how people here complain about not being able to put whatever they want on their iPhone or TI calculator, but then want government-mandated control over what the backbone providers carry over their hardware.
And by "free market," I mean obnoxiously large and powerful corporations. I would rather take my chances with the government; at least there's a tiny bit of accountability there.
What do you think makes such corporations so powerful? Yes, the government powers they can direct. Eliminate those and corporations are reduced to merely being able to direct what they do with their own property (which doesn't include imaginary property, also something created by the government).
Are you saying the birth control app is useless too?!?!?!?
No, that one actually works, though running the transmitter at maximum power runs the battery down fairly quickly (be sure to keep the phone in your "front" pocket for maximum effectiveness).
One day I woke up to find that my age and hair color had been stolen. It was awful walking around being ageless and having hair with no color. Fortunately, I found that an ex-friend had stolen, and took them back from him. I could never figure out what use he had for them, but it's nice to have them back.
I congratulate companies on these advancements. For years we've had to settle for this happening only to the gigabytes of RAM in our computers, but now, we can have our hard drives lose all their data when they lose power as well. Some day, 5-10 years from now, we'll have technology that erases everything within one block of a PC that loses power.
Yep, when I read other news sources I regularly see the stories a day or so earlier than Slashdot. But I come here for the discussion, not instant reporting.
Mayeb the monkeys had a monkey government that printed up currency constantly so that their savings would actually lose them money, due to monetary inflation?
I meant a random sample of users, for example how Slashdot does it. Obviously if you're doing a vote system (where everyone can vote), you only allow one vote per person.

So, expect Flickr and similar to be blocked shortly.

I enjoy xkcd all the more because of its simple artwork. It doesn't get in the way of the idea being presented.

Who do you think prevented them from drilling closer to the shore, where operations are safer?

I thought it was earlier government interference (subsidies, etc.) that created this problem in the first place.

Yeah, if it was Microsoft doing it, I'd react differently, since I don't run Windows.
Really? I thought they were just a civil matter, not a criminal one.
My main question: how many injuries/deaths did this cause over what the usual seasonal flu would have during the same time period?
I meant a random sample of users, for example how Slashdot does it. Obviously if you're doing a vote system (where everyone can vote), you only allow one vote per person.
Yep. Summary: random sampling avoids gaming. No need for six or so paragraphs.
Human mentality is also wanting to spread humans everywhere and to dominate every planet.
