It's a bit of both, in this case. Medicare's got Oxycontin and Hydrocodone on a restricted list for pain management, partly because of expense and partly because of the fear you mention. What IS on the list, strangely enough, is Methadone and Morphine (yes...orally administered Morphine...) for pallative care and general pain management. Little else.
Methadone's damned dangerous and we know Morphine's risks. Both are actually cheaper than the "safer" alternatives which is part of the reason they're on the Medicare part D list of approved meds.
Yep. Been there, done that. You can keep the fucking t-shirt. I won't go into details about what, but when ER doctors challenge my rating the pain at a 6-7 and being able to coherently hold a conversation, I tell them what I experienced at the age of 10 and they turn green at the gills and quite simply prescribe the pain killer to cut the pain while I'm in there without further debate.
When you're in that much pain, you more often than not can't think coherently and you just want the pain to STOP.
In the case of Methadone, you can HAVE an accidental overdose. It lingers in your system and can leave the normally prescribed dose that would otherwise be safe to be a lethal amount.
Heh... It's because it's familiar to them. The GPL is counterintuitive for most IP attornies. They're used to all sorts of usage restrictions, distribution restrictions, etc. for stuff that gets licensed to them- and along with that comes a dollar figure associated with it that's called royalties. Many of them can't wrap their heads around a non-cash royalty payment that requires the IP you derived the work from or simply redistributed, to be provided like the GPL requires. It's telling about the quality of your lawyer when they can't get a concept in their heads.
ONLY if they continued to provide content that UMG has standing over. If they don't and they abide by the DMCA safe harbor requirements...there won't BE an injunction (if there was...there's about to be a bit more problems than UMG pulling junk off of the web...VASTLY worse.).
The thing is... The claim's not legitimate... If they don't do their due diligence to prevent rocks bouncing out like they do, they're STILL responsible for it. It's to convince people to not file suit against them for their carelessness.
Making knowingly false statements is all that is needed. You can't say "oops, we made a mistake" in most jurisdictions on that score. When it's a knew or should have known type situation (this would be it...), you're going to face the Fraud music- the big problem there, though, is getting the DoJ to own up to it being their responsibility and acting upon the same.
In light of the shenanigans that've gone on with the John/Jane Does lawsuits from RIAA and the bullsh*t that was SCOX vs. IBM, you may find it taking a LONG time, if at all, for the Judges to say enough's enough on the bogus crap. By then, you'll be broken upon the wheel- crushed financially and legally.
It actually is abuse. The law's explicit. You HAVE to have rights to the content claimed to make a filing or commit an act of Perjury. "Fingerprint" analysis is insufficient in most cases to pin down the requirement- your instance is proof enough of that. Doesn't matter if you can challenge it or not- it's about the fact that you're having to do it in the first place.
Everyone's already moved on to A9 based SoC's for things. If they'd consider an A9 based SoC (Something like the OMAP4 in the currently MIA Samsung Galaxy Nexus, for example...) for the OpenMoko platform, it might be a gem.
1) The WPA prolonged the Great Depression by about 7 extra years. 2) It wasn't something that really was within the mandate allowed by the Constitution. 3) At least for the debt, pain, etc. we GOT that standing infrastructure. The same can't be said for Obama's Stimulus, which seems to have produced LITTLE.
I would have a Kindle, Nook, or Kobo for this stuff. I'm still buying paper books, but for travel like that, there's few better answers and it's easier to get around with the device as long as you've a means to charge the device while out and about away from normal AC power.
It's something that'll bite them in the backside. They've been doing the rumblings that Linux and Android violate patents they hold for the last 5+ years. At some threshold the Courts will accept Laches as a defense to any prosecution and the actual Infringer (Linux Community, Google...) will effectively be given carte blanche on the patents in question.
Doesn't work that way. Not letting me see the alleged infringements except under NDA doesn't fall under what is expected of the Infringed with regards to Patents. You HAVE to give an opportunity to remediate the problem- and not with those sorts of shackles. If I don't know what I was infringing, how am I supposed to stop?
With the stuff they're fielding...they've got a better than even chance of making a hash of Microsoft's little extortion racket over Android "infringements".
Heh... You'd be mistaken on that regard... All it takes is working with a Patent Attorney on your own patents to develop at least a bit of that ability.
Heh... It's the Indie community coming up with it's own answers for things, similar to what Valve came up with for Steam so that it can be supported on ALL primary desktop OSes, much like the thinking that the Humble Bundle people have with things. I'm hopeful that I can get to something that will let me start scooping up not just Indie port work on things... It's a piece part of the puzzle that's been kind of missing (Looking at Valve for not trying to get their answer out...and grumbling...) for a bit now. I've got several installer choices at my disposal, I just don't have a framework other than my own or some of the e-tailers out there for doing this with the titles I've helped port...until now.
I suspect so. I've had surprisingly few issues with the scheme I'm using for producing my indie games- I target anything from Debian Sarge forward (some 10+ distributions tested and used by customers so far...) with how I build and package with MojoSetup. Right now, most of the titles are straight ports so they can't be global installs (per user acct installs...but since the games are small and without any DRM, etc...) but I'm going to do a follow on release of all of them to hopefully fix that issue. Desura would provide an avenue to maybe take it a few steps further.

FTFY. Vicodin is hydrocodone with tylenol. Oxycontin is Oxycodone , a chemically similar drug- but not the "same stuff".

Oh, don't confuse them with facts...their mind's made up.

This presumes you'll have the resources to litigate the case. It can take millions to do that. Most won't have those deep pockets.

Okay, how about less of a turd? :-D

That doesn't make them a nation, really. The GP poster's pretty much right about this.
1) The WPA prolonged the Great Depression by about 7 extra years.
2) It wasn't something that really was within the mandate allowed by the Constitution.
3) At least for the debt, pain, etc. we GOT that standing infrastructure. The same can't be said for Obama's Stimulus, which seems to have produced LITTLE.
