>>>mazon was going to sell at a loss for only as long as it took to drive other sellers out of the market. Then things would get much worse.
So you wan to file a lawsuit against Amaozn on theBELIEF iof some future event? You have some Precrime telpaths stashed-away somewhere? You cannot punish a company for thigns they have not done yet, you stupid fuck.
>>>to work on razor-thin margins driving out all competition
So? It is not illegal to operate a monopoly based-upon selling lower prices than any one else. In fact that's how the market is supposed to work: Competition acts like an invisible hand to lower prices & benefit the consumer.,
It is only illegal to use the monopoly to drives prices higher and rape the customer. There is ZERO evidence that amazon will or ever has done that.
>>>Copyright is not a free market and filing antitrust suits over pricing or price collusion is specious
It worked well when they sued the record companies for violating Sherman Antitrsut law on price-fixed *copyrighted* CDs. The record companies were punished. So the lawsuit is not "specious"
Then I'll sell my kindle and just buy cheaper paperbacks from now on. The ebook market can die-out if they're going to charge hardcover prices for them.
>>>not being allowed to sell books cheaper through other sources..... Apple is trying to force retail outlets like Target from carrying the Kindle. Seems pretty anti competitive to me. >>> I other words they are guilty of price-fixing what other stores may sell the ebooks for, PLUS anticompetitive behaviors such as blocking amazon from target. Guilty guilty guilty. I'd like to see Apple gets slapped by the DOJ, even if it's just "Don't do that again," and a 5 year cease-and-desist order like they did with Mcirosucks.
Who is to say what is "right"? I can't help wondering if you would be one of those who reads Chaucer or other Mid-English works and complain that the writers shoud not be using double negatives. Or that he misspelled wife as "wyf". English mutates over time, and is not fixed like math.
If it was me, rather than using a comma per the dictators at stuck-in-the-past Oxford..... a comma that could easily be overlooked by the reader..... I'd use this alternate: "This is contrary to law and to sound economic policy."
The DOJ will demolish Apple's filing by saying, "That means 1 in 10 ebooks were not sold in Amazon, but on other magazine and book websites. So there was a healthy market of multiple e-stores competing with one another to lower the prices of this product, until Apple arrived on the scene and colluded with the publishers to engage in price-fixing" --- When the record companies tried this with CD sales, the case found Walmart was part of the collusion, and just as guilty of the crime. Same applies to Apple mart.
Pretty crummy thing to threaten/slander a guy just because he sends a DMCA that reads, "Hey you took my photo. Please remove it." She kept using it on facebook upto a few hours ago. She was TOLD she was infringing on copyright but kept doing it anyway! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Schwager-Consulting-Marketing/345405795498111
I know a lot of people with children who still treat their children's needs as second, while the parent remains the center. Having a child does not automatically "cure you". (And vice-versa being old does not mean you're a self-centered ass either. Lots of childless people do worthwhile things for others, rather than themselves.)
BACK TO TOPIC:
I find myself playing far fewer games than I used to. I buy them, put them on the shelf, and they collect dust.
I just don't find modern 40-hour-long games as much fun as the old arcade-style games I grew-up with. I'd sooner fast-forward through a TV show, movie, or audiobook than play a game. The long timespan makes them boring.
It's better than drugs, alcohol, or other dangerous behaviors. Also pretty damn important. If arousal didn't exist, the human species would stop mating and go extinct. THAT is what I call a bad adaptation.
What's the name of that monkey that has sex as often as we say Hi? "Hey Bubbles how's it going?" Bang, bang, bang. "Great Chuckles. Hey there goes Mr. Peepers." Bang, bang, bang. Overrampant sex drive doesn't seem to have harmed them none.
I love choose-your-own adventure! Read the books voraciously and loved the PC-based versions like Activision's Mindshadow (you are lost on island & have to escape to track down the guy who ditched you). Maybe I'll go download some Japanese CYA games right now.
>>>Video games used to murder you in a couple minutes for 25 cents
You're doing it wrong. I played Berzerk, Missile Command, Space Invaders for hours on my old Atari console. It's just a matter of mentally decoding how the computer "thinks" and predicting what it will do before it does it.
Oh and to agree with your main point: Stats show a supermajority of men (and women) are still single when they hit age 30. They no longer feel the desire to get married.
I consider this story good news (if true). Damaged guys means less competition for me to deal with when dating the single ladies (put a ring on it). LOL.
Excellent. Downbelow someone posted: >>>Treasure hunt! Try to find another photo she has that is infringing and get the owner of the copyright to submit another DMCA takedown!
I like it.:-) They already caught her using the Photographer's photo illegally on facebook. It appears, even after being notified the photo was copyrighted and not for free use, she kept using it anyway on her facebook page (right up to a few hours ago).

No because you're still an ignorant boob, even though people have explained this again-and-again. - The owner files the DMCA. - The target says, "I'm not infringing anything." - The DMCA notice is automatically negated and the target's takendown photo or video is restored in mere hours. Easy as that.
>>> from the graduation party that were partially taken without the consent of the pictured individuals
Permission is not needed in a public area or publicly-open facility (mall, restaurant, etc). If it was a private area like my graduation party (friend's home), then they were trespassing and you can demand the negatives. If they refuse file a lawsuit for trespassing without permission (which leads to jail time, not just copyright infringement).
There's a HUGE difference between a photo or video being used by some nobody for personal use, and a photo/video being used by a profitable organization that collects money and/or is running for office.
>>>DMCA is the equivalent of me accusing you of something and putting you in prison until you prove otherwise to use the usual hyperbole tossed around.
No it isn't. It takes literally 1 minute to respond to a DMCA notice and say, "My use of this photo or video does not infringe upon the owner's copyright," and it restored back in mere hours.
Slashdot Mirror
I don't agree with the "legendary writer" characterization.
He wrote episodes that were some of the weakest in the TV shows, incsuidng Sliders 5th (and most boring) season.

False.
ebook market leads to more equal distribution across many, many books.

That's so decade-and-a-half ago.
You can /. her facebook her too.

So like that movie then? Where the asperger guy get the girl who lives in the nearby apartment..... but loses her at the end. :-( Never mind.

70s-era videorecords (CEDs) were not really successful either. People wanted to record primetime shows when away from home.
