a memory within each of the units of the commodity capable of storing results of the two-way local interaction
It would appear that claim 1 requires that when someone presses the "Upgrade" button, the app "remember" this, as opposed to performing the upgrade so that the user receives a new "unit of commodity".
Do the upgrade buttons upgrade immediately, or does it "remember" the request to upgrade for the next time you plug in to iTunes?
The specific statement in which Clinton perjured himself was about Monica Lewinsky
Are you still crying about "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" where the judge defined sexual relations to a specific set of actions that did not include getting a blow job?
The problem here isn't "perjury" because none happened. The problem is that to give the government the power to beat down pedos and drug runners, we've given them the ability to redefine the english language as it pleases. Without that, copying files from one disk to another can't be defined as "creating child porn". Growing two plants in your back yard can't be defined as "intent to distribute". Beyond that, many loopholes solely exist due to the twisting of the words the law encourages.
You mean an action like yahoo.com/send.php?subj=look+at+my+porn&body=porn+porn+porn&contact[]=Ok&contact[]=Ok&contact[]=Ok&contact[]=Ok&contact[]=Ok...
I wouldn't be surprised if someone wrote a "send to contacts" page that worked exactly like that, without checking to see if a request was via POST or GET.
if Ferrari has the faster cars at the better price, but you could get a Ford or Toyota that was less powerful and more expensive, then Ferrari would have a monopoly?
How many bales of hay can you throw in the back of your Ferrari to take to the cows? Zero? Hmm, maybe when considering whether various products may or may not be something that can be substituted for each other, you should consider whether they are fit for the purpose you are trying to achieve.
They're the ultimate check and balance, they just never seem to fucking do their jobs.
It's a representative democracy, they're doing their jobs perfectly fine. After all, who else is going to decide which candidate has the correct view on abortion?
Actually, that's pretty good news. We can get everyone in to sample the wells now and say "this is the level of methane and diesel without fracking". Then we see what happens when they start.
You don't need to tear-up the streets to snake a 1 cm cable (with 50-100 optical fibers).
That's what I've been saying, but nobody's interested in making themselves into what is essentially a data utility. Even AT&T wants to sell you TV over their phone lines.
Google is probably the only company with the cash and the conflict of interest to build out such a low-margin project, and it's unclear that they'd be willing to undercut their control by letting other ISPs access the line. After all, they have to justify it to their shareholders eventually, and when the shareholders start demanding ROI on their trillion dollar infrastructure installation, Google ain't going to let some other ISP watch every website you visit.
And if the steamroller factory next door accidentally rolls over your car, what are you going to do, stop buying steamrollers from them?
Good luck "driving them into nonexistance".
At some level, something bigger than the corporations has to exist. The only way to shrink the size of government is to shrink the size of corporations.
It's...just like singleplayer, except with more people. What are you expecting it to be?
I'm expecting it to work, personally. Nobody has a fucking clue what ports to open to get your game listed on the server browser and the steam forums aren't helping. It apparently either works or it doesn't. Seriously, it's 2011. Everyone and their dog has a damned cheap broadband router/firewall assigning 192.168.x.y. Stop using the local IP in your protocol. Penalty points for integrating steam's server crap and yet failing to allow people to be invited into games or join a friends' game.
Of course, this isn't unique to Magicka, I can count the number of online games I've played in the last few years that properly documented the ports that needed to be opened without needing to wade through pages and pages of chicken-waving misinformation and rumors posted by other users (or games that worked without opening ports) on one hand with several fingers to spare.
(Also, lag. Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag. It was hilarious the first time the screen started shaking like an earthquake with everyone bouncing around and falling through the floor. The second time, not so much.)
My circle of friends has exactly one person who can host a game everyone can connect to. But yeah, when it works, we all have a blast.
Come to think of it, wouldn't it be hilarious if someone fucked up and all that boilerplate contract cruft floating around out there binds both parties to arbitration?
Sony finally tracks down the guy who hacked PSN, and on the first day of court the guy waves the PSN contract at the judge and says "see here, everything to do with PSN has mandatory binding arbitration, as upheld by the Supreme Court" and gets the case dismissed. Then Sony goes to an arbiter, who says "uh, yeah, don't do that, it's not nice" and the guy says "gee, I won't". And then does it again.
Is binding arbitration actually in the contract people sign when they sign up for the service?
It is. It is also in your contract for your loans, your contract for your bank accounts, your contract for your HOA, your employment contract, your insurance policy, your airplane ticket, your computer purchase, and probably even in real fine print at the bottom of your menu when you go out to eat.
Don't worry though, it's only binding to you. If you don't like the outcome the company bought from the arbiter of their choice and dare to complain about the company online, they're free to use real courts to sue you over and over until you stop making them look bad.
Totalitarianism cannot occur in a laissez-faire capitalistic market, by definition.
If I bought up all the water companies in your nation, who would stand up to me? I would expect any resistance to my rule to "dry up" in three days or so.
No, a "rational" society would look at the costs of interstellar travel and conclude that any attempt at a mission to another star was ludicrously overpriced and had absolutely zero practical value in any meaningful timeframe.
And now we know why suicide can be a rational choice.

Didn't Clinton's adultery happen in the 90s? Apparently Republicans are just better at forgiving *their own* offenses.
Yeah, they need to roll back a step to when they took all the whitespace out, but before they cut into the actual text.

If no-one believes them, that speaks to their reputation.
Their reputation is that of liars. They claimed that they were doing nothing last time they faked packets in order to block torrents.
where health care could be if it were allowed to flourish like the computer industry
"Our patients only crash once a day!"
We have the awesome power of the web to blast messages out on all kinds of free websites
Except to customers of ComcastNBCUniversal, who will be redirected to corporate-approved messages.

US academic institutions are still, by informal convention, the world hub of science
Not for much longer if the Republicans have anything to say about it!

There are still no reports of anyone dying because of what he did.
Osama died because of what he did.
And once all that nice code is run through a javascript obfuscator/compressor that renamed all the "str" variables to "a" "b" "c" etc, what then?
Has Sony actually confirmed that this has anything to do with hacked consoles at all, I've only heard that as a rumor that was convenient for Sony.

Finally, arbiters are usually paid either 50/50 by both parties or by the 'loser' of a decision rather than 100% by one party.
If an arbiter finds against the corporation enough times, they get paid $0 when the company stops using him or her.
You know the first thing they're going to push is the big red button marked "Fire".

Correct, which is why they have special provisions in the DMCA and such. They fought long and hard to not be common carriers.
People also don't seem to understand that breaking common carrier rules doesn't mean "you lose common carrier status", it means "you go to jail".
