The key is "lot". A lawyer would be good for drafting a legal document. A lot of lawyers, not so good. Often, too many or too much of something is a bad thing. This can even apply to your example, too many brain surgeons would just get in the way when maybe you only need one or two.
"better parenting" only works to a certain extent. Unless you have some sort of totalitarian level of snooping, which implies that the parent has no trust in the youth, then it's going to be easy to hide anything that's not up to the parent's standard.
I do agree that it's not the store's job to enforce parental standards.
The number used to identify The Mark was about Roman Caesars. The number is apparently a use of numerology to identify a particular emperor and has apparently been changed in number to fit different Caesars as the old one died. The Mark is also supposed to be one where you recant all other beliefs to worship or follow The Beast.
In short, it doesn't really apply. If there is an afterlife and a hell in the afterlife, accepting Real ID or similar probably won't be the thing that will cause you to be sent there.
The problem is that the Jobs missive simply looks to be a pass-the-buck scenario. Jobs doesn't want to share Fairplay, based on the claim that it's too hard and makes it too insecure.
Jobs also seems to ignore the possibility of an industry standard system as well.
Being unwilling to compromise and blaming others for the problem when a reasonable solution exists is not what I call the mark of a reasonable person. Maybe there are
The letter also ignores the fact that much of the issue the Norwegian consumer groups had is that English law governs the transaction when the store and customer is in Norway. There is also the issue that Apple can change the terms of the contract after purchase. Apple has not made any movement to fix that problem.
I will probably not be buying music downloads unless it is either unprotected or it will at least work on any music device I own without hassle or another stage of recompression. I also don't want to buy into a format in which the copyright owner can revoke my purchases or change the terms of the contract without due process or renegotiation or compensation.
I rather like the CD format in that for the most part, it usually gets me what I want, an unentangled delivery system and a built-in archive, because I usually rip/copy once and store the original. There are so many CDs out there that I haven't listened to, that I don't think I really have to go to a new delivery system.
Bombs can be made to fit pretty much any shape imaginable. Disguising a bomb as something else is a very common tactic. As such, there is no standard "bomb" look, color or shape.
That said, you are right on otherwise. So few bombs are actually placed. It's been a long time since I remember a bomb threat being real in the US. All the scares do lately are disrupt activities. The people with real bombs don't announce them that I remember.
Let's look at it just from a cost/benefit perspective.
The network effectively spent $2M on that ad campaign and the ratings didn't even blip slightly. That's quite a catastrophe given that every web site concerned with news covered it, and every newspaper, cable news channel, local news channel nationwide had covered it. It was such rediculously wide coverage and it didn't do anything at all where it really counts in a network.
I'm not convinced that AllofMP3 was a viable or legal business model. For one, their claim to legality was basically a clause that was intended for licensing for ephemeral analog radio transmissions over cable TV networks, not the sale and transfer of discrete digital files for keeping. It was also not intended for international transmission, but AoM still set up an obviously international web site and solicited international business.
If it is a viable business model, I'd like to see them set up shop selling original music that they financed the production, and see how that works.
I really don't think Sony has that much control over Blu-Ray. It seems to be a very popular misconception, but it's not Sony's to control. Blu-Ray was formed by an alliance of all the Japanese electronics makers except for NEC/Toshiba.
That's not necessarily the case. For one-handed phone dialing, the typical use would be palm-up with the thumb pressing the buttons, with the fingers and the base of the thumb holding the phone, and the thumb itself doing the dialing. I just did that with my phone and I can see the entire screen. My thumb did not obstruct the screen. It might seem awkward, but it's much better than one-handed dialing with the conventional arrangement with buttons at the lower end.
If you mean that you dial two-handed, then yes, the screen is going to be covered by the other hand and this phone won't be suitable for two-handed dialing. I don't think this phone design would threaten the two-handed use because there are so many phone designs available that it seems there is something for everyone.
I did think of this before but didn't think of patenting it.
Being technically knowledgable does not mean that a person does not understand the complexity and costs of doing business.
I made a mistake.
Being technically knowledgable does not mean that a person understands the complexity and costs of doing business. Expenses pile up like crazy. I need to either find or write an essay on the many costs that go into running a business, but I'd need to research all the details, so I'd probably just put that off.
Thank you for that breath of fresh air. Being technically knowledgable does not mean that a person does not understand the complexity and costs of doing business.
Your figures are within line of what I expect, even though I deal with a different industry. I am not a retailer though, I do not envy them.
Retail margins vary by industry. The $1.33 figure assumed by the grandparent is unrealistically low, but that's because said poster doesn't understand the costs of retail. I would expect that a retailer would want a $1.33 net profit per CD to make it worth their time in the long run.
No, you don't calculate the MSRP to be a small multiplier of just the material costs. That is being unrealistic in your expectations. For one, that assumes that there is no value or cost in what gets pressed into the media layer.
The price of the product does not reflect the incremental cost of making the product, and I don't think it is reasonable to expect it to be that way. The sales have to pay for the initial costs of producing what is pressed into the CD. The cost of producing the carrier that holds the content is practically immaterial.
I really don't think it does anyone any good to be arguing from an ignorance of that it really costs to operate a functioning business.
I really don't think the analogy fits. For one, retail of a physical product is not the same as a file. Also, one camcorder copy doesn't mean that the movie is gone. The closest equivalent is 11% would represent if each of the ~150 titles had one copy out of a million illegally taken. So the shrink rate might be closer to.00001%.
I don't think Apple is tied to any particular ARM manufacturer. I don't think Apple said who made the chip for the phone. I think the chances are that it's an Intel/Marvell Xscale chip.
The question is, are the dance moves encrypted? I thought DMCA was about circumventing digital copyright protection mechanisms, and I don't know how you can even add a copy protect bit to the "electric slide" unless you plug the poor sucker into the wall.
Did this person even report these problems through proper channels first? There is an established due diligence factor in reporting vulnerabilities. Also, if you make such a hack public, even without the source, and a more malicious person can pick it apart to add another ingredient to do significant damage. There is also a chance that this sort of thing could have caused problems if it overloaded the servers.
I think elbow and hand are going to be better choices than shoulder and hand. The data would probably be better quality, but that might depend on the algorithm and the accelerometers in the Wiimote. It would be more data to smooth out the shoulder rotation.
I think there are different kinds of hardness. One is a kind on pressure resistance as you say, there is another scale used to rate scratch resistance.
That video could have been much better if they used a lav mic, all that ambient humming is unnecessary and irritating. Mics commonly built into camcorders tend to pick up that sort of garbage.

I think your post makes sense. I really wouldn't appreciate the scale of how hard civil engineering can be if it weren't for shows like Extreme Engineering on Discovery.
It is fair use to make short quotes, it is not necessarily fair use to copy an entire document and claim it as yours.
I think there is something about contract laws that allow for standardization and boilerplate. By now, they've probably basically been public domain, if not by how long standard contracts have been available, then by how widespread they are without anyone raising a stink.

That reads like something from John Hodgman's book.

Worse yet, I'd hate to see them go amok, fragment and get tiny & sharp turbine blades in my air supply. May as well go back to asbestos.
If the original ten aren't getting respect with the current government, why would another one at the end get any respect?
