So they're going to annoy corporate entities which are immoral and unethical and while bound by legislation will do their utmost to have any particularly inconvenient laws they are subject to repealed. I don't see it ending well.
It's not even possible to feel smug about it from outside the US.
I'm in the UK and you can be sure if I ever embedded infringing material on Facebook then I'd be promptly handed over to US justice if they requested it. While there have been high profile cases against extradition I'm not sure that any have been completely stopped. They are, at best, ongoing.
That would also lead to a "re-imagining" of an old movie: The Eleven Commandments. When Moses comes out with the slabs "THOU SHALT NOT USE THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF OTHERS (unless you reimburse them and their lawyers appropriately)" will be on one. The unimportant other ten will be illegible on the second slab.
And there would still be a frickin' advert demonising copyright theft on legitimately purchased DVDs of it.
where the ATM didn't spit out the money but marked it as a successful transaction; they gave us a temporary credit and a month later sent us a letter saying their investigation found that our report was accurate
That might be down the difference in what the machine records state. In your case there was no physical withdrawal and the device which dispenses the notes must have the capability to record that nothing happened and your complaint was substantiated. However, there does seem to be a difference in the bank's attitude if the machine records say it did dispense something. And I speak from experience; it was about 20 years ago and involved an ATM dispensing half the requested amount but the bank (not actually the one I use) hosting the ATM said that the machine had dispensed everything it was supposed to and I was not reimbursed.
I get the impression that they have quite RIght Wing moderators because I have seen blatantly racial and off-topic posts left on their boards whilst on-topic posts get deleted.
Among my friends, having a post pulled from that particular forum is seen as a badge of honour.
What a badly written sensationalist story. It's like something from the Daily Mail
Oh, in that case without even reading it I know that they'll be some evil dreamed up by the rest of Europe that will be widely used by terrorists and will enable lots of immigrants to sneak into the UK and live a life of luxury funded by the toils of the UK taxpayer.
So... rather then provide a fob or phone app to provide a "one-time" number that constantly changes, they'll SMS it to your phone. Well, it's not exactly instant and depending on network load can take a while (ok the 4 hour delays at new year are a bit of an exception from the norm). It seems to me that the "one-time" number has to remain valid for quite a while and every second would increase the vulnerability.
Yeah, the stuff, despite these results, is still hypothetical but there's probably already sufficiently vague patents on it's commercial use. They'll proably get a cease and desist letter from a lawyer now. It's the way the world works.
Ok, so it was specifically in regard to their internet forums but it does tend to suggest a fair amount of complacency regarding security which would extend beyond those forums.
When you know almost everybody is lying to you, its only human to be drawn to news you think sounds most plausible.
But the real problem with that is that so many people just have no critical thinking filter and when every official organisation is considered to be lying then the incredible lunacy that people find on the internet and consider plausible is just breathtaking.
...where Clarkson drove a Prius and ranted about how epically slow it was...
Clarkson badmouthing an alternatively powered car?! I'm shocked.
In the programme the only presenter who will ever utter a positive word about such a vehicle is James May; the one dubbed "Captain Slow". It's not really subtle, is it?
So as more and more just comes down to arguments between lawyers we approach a singularity (and no, not the good one) where the only business will be the exchange of money through court cases. All innovation will just stop. I'm glad I'm probably more than half way through my life.
People will always do stupid things and some people seem to think that it's useful to acquire something that enables their stupidity, but it's not really the job of state to deny them that privilege.
Anyway, things that are much more 'harmful to public safety' are legal and, it would seem, easily obtainable.
They should have gone with Swedish woman android. I mean, surely they must have _some_ idea about what the technology is _actually_ going to be used for?

So if you successfully pull this one off, then what's next?
Companies not allowed too manufacture... weapons because they can be used maliciously... vehicles because they can be used maliciously...
Retarded idea.

I had heard that studio advertising budgets where quite large but this must have cost a pretty penny to pull off.

we'll be able to start doing the really cool stuff, like genetically modifying people to increase intelligence and adding direct computer interfaces.
Nevermind that; to me the thought that this could be a stepping stone to repairing damaged brains is more appealing.
Sadly it's a long way off which is a shame because I really wouldn't miss the ataxia and diplopia caused by my damaged cerebellum

What? These people that believe that 21st May will be The Rapture get everywhere.

Am I right?

Well that would seem to be proven.

So it's back to waiting on suitable advances in robotics technology.
Well that immediately makes him more knowledgeable than much of the management here.

Ah, the nature of time... I'd have said it was early since I've been a work for a bit more than an hour.
...but it needs to last a lifetime.
