THe contract is FINISHED when all parties have been paid. It is NOT a fsair extention of any contract to suddenly squeeze x amount of "new" dollars out of it, unless EVERYBODY originally involved gets a cut. And believe me, they sure the fuck DON'T. Take your "attack of the 50 foot woman" Did any of the actors get part of this renewed Amazon and netflix or google play proceeds? What avbout the Best boys? the Gaffers? The extras and the makeup department? No? But I hear you screaming "they got paid already". Indeed they did. And therein lies the moral argument against "they should be allowed too squeeze as much out of it as they want, it's their film". What you're saying actually is THE INVESTORS should , as any artists have a right to,. squeeze as much out of it. But investors arent artists. And none of the actual artists ARE getting reimbursed.
So I call extended copyright out and out theft, from the public, and the original artists and technicians involved, both.
So you're saying that fractional reserve banking is just another budget deficit?
That's a pretty high level of abstraction.
In a way, yes. The Fed, after all, is, essentially, "skimming" off the top, via the deficit. It's an entirely corrupt scheme that dshould never have been allowed, and before, 1913, it wasn't..
OK.. the headline says "Is the Tablet Market In Outright Collapse? Data Suggests Yes" and immediately after his dsubmission says it "doesn't come to quite that stark a conclusion," THat's an unabashed "click grabber" more suited to Lyn and Lisa's posts on "Before it's News". Not/.....Oh the depths we have plummeted to! Woe woe is we...
The sad thing is that if someone makes a move that's just blood and guts with no plot worth mentioning, or a rap track that's vulgar and sexist, that thing will be protected via copyright for 90 years, but if someone invents a truly life enhancing invention, the patent will likely expire (in 20 years) before he even sees a dollar in profits. It just shows what we as a society REALLY value, and it ain't things *with* value. Remember, if society really had values it would have turned on the entertainment industry years ago.
Well, not exactly.. WHat he did was noble, a breath of fresh air, and I think, considering the lifelong threat on his life from now on, pretty brave. It was, however, also treason, Just like the treason the nation's founders committed during the war for independance. I'm not sure BO *can* even pardon him, although, frankly, he's guilty of far worse treason against the nation than Snowden, for his , totally selfish, actions weren't intended to uphold the constitution, but bypass it. Or dismantle it altogether, in some instances. Perhaps he ought to pardon himself, except he really doesn't deserve it. In any case, as I implied earlier, I do not know if it is possible to pardon someone for treason at all.
There's easily enough capital in the US to buy out the debt. If 18 Tr sounds like a lot, consider it's really only $25,000 for every man woman and child, which still sounds like a lot until you consider that one in ten can afford 250,000, which would cover those that couldn't pay. The real problem is that all that money is stored in, yup, US banks. If this much were collected from the citizens, and the Fed shut down, and the US printed it's own money, as it has a right to, those that paid the largest share would recap it in a matter of MONTHS, and the country would have true economic security, which should surely quieten the complaints of those that felt forced to pay for those that couldn't. This is disturbingly simple, but absolutely accurate. No wonder the banks don't let it become common knowledge. And what of the current debt on the books, ie mortgages, credit card debt, etc? Why, keep it on the books, still. It shouldn't have any bearing on the national debt.. If you owe a mortgage, you still do etc, but with a revitalised economy, default is far less likely. Same with consumer debt. Those seriously looking for work would find they were able to aquire it, at an improved wage.. due to competitiveness re-entering the economy. Fact is, that any student of the old form of economics would understand how this could work. It's only after that abomination called "Neo-classical" economics entered universities, as if it were a legitimate form of finance, rather than it being a hodge podge of fraudulent & discredited theories etc, that people got misled.
North Korea reminds me of the loudmouthed 90 pound schoolyard bully who has a 300 pound wide boy behind him. They wouldn't dare inflame the US, what with it's pretty deadly military arsenal and troops, if they didn't have Russia and China behind them.
I'm not particularly in favor of the F-35 but EOTS is stealthier because it is a passive detection system that does not emit a signal. It is not always wise to do active "pinging."
Oh, you mean "Hello! I'm here and trying to scan your super secret base! D'ya mind?" as opposed to "ssssh.. don't wake 'em up";-)
It may be "socially unacceptable", but that doesn't mean it should be illegal; it didn't harm anybody.
Everything should be illegal.. then they can just pick and choose the crime they think you violated, should they want you behind bars. Oh.. wait.. everything already is...
The misuse of power given through a public trust should be punishable by death when it is clear that treason has occured. Snowden and anyone complicit with his act of treason against the people of the United States of America should all have bounties placed on their heads by the real United States of American government. This law suit is pretty much an ineffectual joke given that Snowden committed high treason against every American.
Every single bloody patriot started out as a treasonous actor. Unfortunately. When you have tyrants in power, you have no choice. America was BUILT on "treason". That's where the declaration of independance came from. And also why they decided to have a charte rof rights and freedoms, so that no longer would any patriot have need to commit a treasonous act in order to preserve their liberty. Couple of hundred years later, and guess what? Everybody f**ing FORGOT the importance of it, and just discarded that "flawed document" (as obama seems so fond of saying). What5 the hell is WRONG with everybody? People spilt, no, POURED blood on the mud during the battle for independance.. Does it no longer matter?
Its good enough that Im willing to look past it to avoid all of the other massive issues Blackberry has, like its inability to interact meaningfully with the world outside of its corporate network.
If they these sites had a fixed IP.. wouldn't that solve the problem? Maybe they could set up their own DNS server. Also how would it affect sevices like freeDNS?
OK.. I'll side with you on this, f you're talking about US fast food.. Tastes like drain cleaner and cardboard, with a bit of stale "mystery freezer food" taste to top it off. And the coffee with the bleach taste? Yummy!
No, I don't think so.. back when Limewire was popular, they had all sorts of fakes courtesy of some company that specialised in that (don't recall who, now). The torrents are new. I don't know how they deliver their "payload", perhaps when trying to start them., they usually deliver a message such as "This is not a valid torrent".. an improperly constructed one might appear once in a while, but when 3 out of 4 give you that message, something is up.
Everybody else went ahead with their phony torrents. They're all over the web, and usually have a worm or somesuch. We all know this.. so somehow Sony decided NOT to follow through with it? Suuure..
Look, what these snakes are doing is unethical and despicable.The whole pharamaceutical industry is full of rats who only care about their own interests. Any roadblock to their devious practices is welcome. In this case it's a really old trick they thought to implement.. changing one molecule on a chemical so that it's a "new" drug and then they have a brand new patent. The amount of research is negligible to nonexistent, as they already have a whole stockpile of isomers and other similar chemical formulations for almost every drug they supply. They probably have already done the testing as well and they just store the results. When a patent is about to expire they simply contact the FDA , supply the data and ask for approval. Similar drugs like this are also usualy fast tracked by the FDA to allow the company to market them quickly, as well. I mean, have you ever wondered why there's dozens of benzodiazepines (valium style drugs) on the market when the first ones worked so well? Patent expiry. Usually the ones with the best results are marketed first, and then they dig through their research, to find one to replace the one about to expire. Unfortunately, these often were passed over initially because of troublesome side effects, so often each new version is worse than the one it replaced. That's why it always seems that they get worse, or more addictive, or more serious side effects with each new drug. Yet they still get approval from their buddies at FDA. And if you need even more evidence of their complete moral corruptness, when I was more involved in the industry, my partner at the time (an RN) got offered the position of detail saleswoman, in large part because she was also an ex ramp model. She stormed out of the final interview, however, when it was clearly implied that she had to do *anything* to secure the sale (ie a guarantee that the MD would prescribe only their drugs).. Basically she told me they expected her to prostitute herself for the deal. Although she refused, some other aquantances of ours did not. The money is, after all, extremely good...
I'd like to add that I used to marvel at how all my hippie friends raised their kids, and thinking no good was going to come of this, that if those kids ever have kids of their own we're in real trouble. Well, they did, and we're in trouble. Thankfully some have chosen to carry the burden for the rest of us.. but defacing Nazca is NOT how to do it..
Here's the big problem.. who do you think raised these rotten millenials? The woodstock generation.. a more self serving self righteous generation never existed and I'm ashamed to be part of it...
I've been a diehard supporter of QNX for 14 years, and I'm sure it goes back twice as far, again. Until a few years ago I was always getting updates, but they stopped and I can't log in anymore either. Maybe Blackberry did something, dunno for sure . since I can't remember the email I had back then or my pass I could be at fault. Even so, it's just a rock solid, ultra stable system. I thought it was the best move BB could ever do , aquiring QNX.. And now Ford is using it. Good move... Bank ATMs should have switched to it too, why they went from OS/2 to Windows flummoxed me..

Well, dumping tons of heavy water in the lake (accidentally or sabotage) during the 40s could have been a clue too ;-)

Wouldn't there be some way to completely encrypt communications with a modified Bit coin code?

Yes. Cripple the entire corrupt banking system.

Just fire them and give their position to another one that better represents your organization's values.
Bonus points for having the ousted personality publicly burn bridges on the way out the door.
Fire Me, Myself, and AC. Give the position to "I". After all, "I" always think I'm right...
