Double XP is pretty benign. You still have to put in a *lot* of hours to unlock the higher level guns. A good player earns more than twice as much XP per game than a bad player anyway.
I thought Path of Exile was a well made, if pretty grindy, game. So I wanted to toss the creators 5 or 10 bucks as a thank you. I was shocked at how expensive their items are. Turning your Town Portal from blue to orange was like 12 bucks. Adding a purely cosmetic lightning effect to your weapon was over $20. So they give away thousands of man-hours of work for free, and then ask for massive amounts of money for things that clearly required just a few hours.
Last week I started playing Loadout, which I think is the best FTP game I've seen. I gave them $25 for some funny outfits and double XP for a week.
Fucking site is overrun with mathematicians and logical thinkers.
You joking? This place is jam packed with front line helpdesk staffers who are under the delusion that they're logicians- while being utterly blinded by their existing biases.
Lets say you purchased a bit coin at $5 back in the day and you sold it a couple of months ago for $1200. Where did the exchange get the $1200 to pay you?
From the person who agreed to pay $1200 for your bitcoin. Do you not understand how exchanges work?
Actually it makes a big difference. To file a court case, you have to have "standing". A random person who's pissed off does not qualify. You have to be directly involved in the situation.
I'm also surprised that an actor in a film was able to get any claim of ownership. An actor is expected to know that a movie can change due to rewrites, or editing, or any of the reasons that films normally change between the beginning and the end of the process. But if you can show that the producer was intentionally deceptive- that he planned the whole time to make an anti-Islam hit piece but told the actors something else, then that's a different story.
How can someone who performed in a work-for-hire claim copyright?
She's claiming that the work for hire contract was deceptive and is not valid. The judge apparently agrees.
When this story first broke, some people tracked down the film's creator. He seemed like a real scumbag who would certainly be capable of shit like that. He is an Egyptian Coptic Christian, and his people have certainly been fucked over by the Muslim majority in that country. But that movie seems like a terrible idea on many levels.
The complainant is not a random critic who disagrees with the content of the film. And under normal circumstances, an actor would not have the standing to file a takedown notice either. But this woman claims that she was duped into appearing in the film under unusual circumstances and the judge seemed to agree.
On the internet, "treason" means "doing something I don't agree with in the political realm".
The first two words of the headline are "Supreme Court", yet the parent poster refers to "the judge in this case". So either they slept through 9th grade Social Studies or haven't gotten to 9th grade yet.
The mechanical brakes get less use because of regenerative breaking, but they still need fluid and pads occasionally. But besides those two things, I want to say that the only other scheduled maintenance in the first 10 years is cabin air filters- which you can easily do at home.

worried about is douche bags with more money than sense, who are not under the purview of the FAA,
How exactly would an aircraft not be under the jurisdiction of the FAA? That's kind of their thing.

They sign legally binding releases after the scene is filmed.
On Slashdot, everything is a conspiracy.
Other than a murder/manslaughter charge vs. possible destruction of property?
Don't be a pussy. You have important property rights to defend.
Do you "swat" the airplanes and helicopters that currently fly over your house? What difference does it make if there is a person on board?
The EPA is expected to start the phase-out of leaded AVGAS as soon as next year.
You think the Kennedy family was dodging taxes while family members were President, Attorney General, and multiple position in Congress? Come on.
Getting a hold of pre-WW2 bank records would be a logistical nightmare.
Yet the stock market has been operating just fine for 100 years. What's your point?
similar to what our betters do right now with offshore tax havens?
The IRS has been cracking down on that for years. You should get your news from somewhere besides Slashdot.

Bitcoin has been gaining traction for a long time. Did you notice the run from $5 to $1200?
Susan Sarandon supposedly hated Rocky Horror and regretted ever appearing in it. Shall we tear down all the copies of that?
Can she convince a judge that her contract to appear in the movie was invalid?
It's close enough as to make no difference.

Yeah. I'm rather suspicious of this story as well.
Good luck in 9th grade next year.
Who has been arrested for calmly declining a request for a search?
Same here. I thought that the cops operated under the same rules as vampires.
