Oh, you think this was accidental?
What if said "Your browser trying to kill you, here's one weird trick to stay alive"?
If it said that, it would already have 2 million shares on facebook.
Apparently Americans aren't the only people who do things and ask questions later, because if you had so much as read the summary, you'd see it's a UK website. British mate, 'ith a pot of tea. Unless you are a dual citizen and somehow grant the UK jurisdiction over your ISP service, I see no way in which an American citizen would need to care about these emails.
What about if you use that baseball bat to hit a baseball in a park, knowing that people are nearby, and are it hits one of those people and causes concussion. Your intention was to play baseball near some people, but you accidentally injured one. I suspect you'd get a milder sentence.
It's an interesting point that I can't quickly resolve in my mind. I guess that's why I'm not a judge, either!
It seems that he broke FAA rules (I'm not familiar with those, but most countries' rules for model aircraft don't allow them to be flown over crowds). Because of the resulting injury, a stiff sentence would be in order. But in this case, as opposed to violent crimes and the like, there is no benefit in removing this guy from society for a bit, other than making an example out of him. Wouldn't justice be better served with community service? Especially since I'd think the guy is also on the hook to pay a substantial amount in damages to the girl, even if he's only ordered to pay actual damages.
Well.. he'll be ordered to pay damages. Since he's now been convicted of a crime he won't be able to secure a job. Unless he's already independently wealthy, I doubt he'll be able to pay. Luckily for him, in some parts of the world mcdonalds is paying huge amounts. However that probably also means they don't have to deal with hiring someone that's convicted of a crime due to sufficient applicants with clear backgrounds.
And yet, this is, in a way, very similar to just flinging a baseball bat (or whatever) towards a group of people, isn't it?
Doesn't seem similar to me. Drone pilot intended to fly near people, not hit them with the drone. Hitting the people was an accident. If you throw a bat at a group of people, you intended to hit them with the bat.
No, but rioting is. You know - burning cars, hurting people, damaging property. Just like it was under Obama and every other president we've had. Protesting and rioting are not the same thing, obviously.
In that powerpoint they were bragging about being the DRM that protects Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones is constantly in the news for being the most pirated show in history. Not exactly geniuses there at denuvo 'eh?
He got a royalties from books, his money will have been in the hands of some kind of fund manager who was investing it in a blind trust. It doesn't sound implausible, mostly due to the book royalties. At least he is publishing this, unlike some other presidents...
You didn't read the article you are replying to. Here, I'll help sort that out for you: The president received royalties between $35,000 and $115,000 on his three books.
Never liked acid. While other drugs tend to amplify or enhance mind states that you normally experience to a lesser degree without drugs, acid always made me feel like my brain was doing shit it fundamentally shouldn't be doing at all, not really related to any normal mind state. If I had to do psychedelics again, I'd stick to mushrooms, I always found they had more euphoric effects to go with the trippy shit, generally a much more fun experience. And yeah, acid did tend to go on a bit too long.
Forget that, last time I did mushrooms they grew eyes and started walking towards me. Later, I discovered that if I jumped up and smashed my head into bricks that sometimes a "good" mushroom would come out and give me the power to destroy they eyeballed mushrooms. From that point on, only falling into a bottomless pit or walking into the bad mushroom's eyes would be harmful to me. Eventually I climbed a flagpole and moved on.
oops.. picked the wrong mod option.. sorry there, meant informative and accidentally clicked flamebait. I sure wish/. had an "undo" option for moderation.
Yeah! People should be able to subject people who disagree with them to endless harrasement and intimidation without any consequences, right? That's what the President tells me, anyway, and he should know, right?
That seems to be what wu is up to, yes. You've nailed it.
Push the limits until massive monetary damages are incurred. Of course, if we didn't have those 'burdensum regulatons', they could just shrug their shoulders and say tough luck suckers.
The recall of the note7 was voluntary, and not the result of regulations...
"Microsoft also says that many hardware manufacturers do not provide drivers for Windows 7 any longer, and many developers and companies refrain from releasing programs on the outdated operating system."
Who cares? If you've got win7, you probably also have old hardware that already has drivers. That's kind of the whole thing that people like about windows 7.

So it is legal for to sell a child's personal information, but not okay for IMDB to publish the ages of grown adults. Does anyone else see this as crazy?
Not necessarily. If the child is an actor, and happens to live in kalifornia they do get some special privileges.
But your point that it is completely absurd is 100% accurate.
Laws that limit freedom of expression are tyrannical in nature, and eventually no speech is free. Anti-Discrimination free speech laws are completely out of control "Dynamic" is prohibited in job postings, because... it is... code for "no black people". No, I am not making that shit up. Talk about racist bullshit, black people can't by dynamic?? WHAT???
The greatest threat to our liberties are people crying "There ought to be a law" and make it so.
Well Hollywood better put a goddamn end to the practice. I, for one, am sick and tired of Hollywood using actual children to portray children in movies and television. They should be using only actors above the age of 18.

Uber doing something unethical? This isn't news, it's business as usual.
Come on now, they're saving us money! They can do no wrong!
Have you seen their train system? They have a much higher passenger to vehicle ratio.

protesting is illegal.
No, but rioting is. You know - burning cars, hurting people, damaging property. Just like it was under Obama and every other president we've had. Protesting and rioting are not the same thing, obviously.
Protest Definition != Riot Definition
There's a big difference.
People have been referring to autonomous software programs as robots for decades.

"A 10% increase in IP addresses per capita was associated with an 0.8% hike in GDP, the analysis found"
Alternatively, an 8% hike in GDP means the country had the money and desire to acquire 10% more IP addresses.
Repeat the meme!

Easy, let's say facebook has 1 billion users and each user is worth 5$ of marketing potential, facebook is now worth 5 billion dollars - get it?
You can't go down to the piggly wiggly and spend marketing potential.

Do the California Legislatures realize that his information is also on Wikipedia?
Born Mark Richard Hamill September 25, 1951 (age 65) Oakland, California, United States
Probably. The law doesn't single out imdb. Wikipedia is in violation if imdb is. Hopefully a federal court will put an end to this nonsense.
