So the only information we have is that there's maybe going to be a secret trial of two unidentified alleged terrorists for planning some unidentified terrorist act.
Beats me why they fucking bothered telling anybody about it at all. Still I guess it makes a change from Operation Yewtree.
I'm not disagreeing with any of your observations, but I do think "people who live in glass houses" isn't much of an argument, even in the best of cases. The way I look at it is all today's governments are abominations, so they all need criticizing. And today happens to be the UK's turn.
Oh I understand Appelation d'Origine Contrôlée perfectly thanks. It's not like I didn't live in France for 30 years or anything. Champagne is one of the worst abusers of AOC. It attacks products with "champagne" in the name that no one on earth could possibly mistake for Champagne or even fizzy wine or come to that even a drink. At that point it's no longer about AOC and that's why I choose the term trademark. Now look up Laguiole and see why there's one law for the rich and one for the poor when it comes to trademarks/AOC. Not only is the village denied exclusive use of the Laguiole name for the well-known knife design that originated there, it is not even allowed to use its own name for anything except that specific knife. Meanwhile elsewhere in France dairies are merrily making Gruyère, Emmental, and Cheddar cheese.
I am not American. I hate a lot of IP nonsense that comes out of the USA. But they are not the only bad boys as someone in this thread would have it.
No name brand I assembled myself. Been running since 1995. Just changed a disk drive here, mainboard there, updated the monitor a bit, added a li'l bit of RAM, fitted an optical disk drive when they came out, modernized the case and some other stuff—but it's still the same computer. I've never bought a new one!
I'm looking to see where I said drums can't be used to create notes but I think you are going to have to help me. Maybe you are assuming I'm dyslexic and wrote notes instead of tones?
Both presumably. By collecting them they scare people. The judgement was $650K, even if that is above his net worth (it may or may not be), they may be able to garnish it from future wages. $650K is below the lifetime earnings of a lot of people.
If my country shafted me like that, well, there are plenty of other countries in the world I wouldn't mind living in. I'd send them a little letter once I'd got there telling them in the sweetest of words where to put their fine.
Jeeeezus how many times have I heard this. Go and listen to a piano-violin duo playing Souvenir d'un Lieu Cher then come back and tell me someone with a pair of turntables messing around with SOMEONE ELSE'S MUSIC is a musician. I'm sure they'd like to think they are but until they pick up an instrument, electronic or otherwise, that is actually capable of creating notes they are not.
The stuff you are talking about is fine for people who don't really want musicianship. And good luck to them. Each to his own.
The NSA saved America's arse, whereas in every other country in the world who aren't blessed with NSA protection, there are now tens of millions of bricked computers.
Do people really have "stupid" written all over their foreheads?
I had a generic Android tablet (with jellybean) before I bought my Asus Fonepad. The only showstopper was battery life. Everything else was perfectly acceptable and it was an absolute breeze to root. But the battery life was pretty dreadful -- an *absolute maximum* of 5 hours with all connectivity disabled and minimum brightness screen, whereas the Asus runs all day and night without even thinking about those things.
How many cents in the dollar do you think a fire sale in a bust motor factory would raise? I'm assuming there's no way you could sell it as a going concern. There again it's not my government so who am I to ask.
Exactly this. Mrs Queen is not a member of any political party. We don't know what the rules for a president would be, but it's pretty certain they'd build the same old party political self-interest into them.
Slippery slope is a fallacy when invoked after a first action. That fallaciousness starts looking a bit dodgy after the second step. Then after the third, it's pretty much QED.
Well you might argue that it should be number instead of amount, but in either case it's clearly the quantity that is annoying rather than the mistakes considered individually.
In France paper books are ridiculously expensive, and neither physical nor Internet bookstores are allowed to sell them cheap. It's a publishers' price fixing cartel sponsored by the govt., and it's not new by any stretch of the imagination. And they must be in league with the other French speaking countries because you can't buy them cheap in Belgium or Canada either.
Don't take my word for it. Go look at the price of "Fifty Shades of Grey" then at the price of "50 nuances de Grey".
...a 3D gun is much more likely to be viable than a picture of a gun.
"During the searches, officers found a 3D printer and what is suspected to be a 3D plastic magazine and trigger which could be fitted together to make a viable 3D gun. It they are found to be viable components for a 3D gun, it would be the first ever seizure of this kind in the UK."

Yep, I do. Not sure what those have to do with trademarks mind.
Champagne is a retroactive trademark. I don't blame anyone for saying "fuck you" to a trademark that suddenly exists after 200 years of generic use.

OK I watched that. You'll have to help me out. At what point in the performance did they make music?

Not this time it isn't.
"Whose watching" is the best one line reply since "Pretentious, moi?"
Great idea. We could also replace the Olympic games by much faster/higher/longer/more accurate machines.

Not sure why you addressed that reply to a Brit (sig gives it away, right?), but kudos all the same for an admirably constructed generalization.
