    It's real simple, Americans HATE with passion cheaters in sports and once proven without a shadow of a doubt, they are completely banned for mostly life and have no chance of being in the hall of fame

  2. Thank you for expanding on the concept if distribution.
    So, I am leaning towards the repository is wrong on the action it took...

    feedback?

  3. I know, funny, I never looked at it closely, but, I will try more often to use them more. I am the shit.

  4. Thank you

  5. Not sure how to address your point, but it's a great question to ask.
    Open source, is not free from copyright. It depends on the type of open source contract you request.
    So I am guessing that the author of the work, pulled his work, but the repository put it back.
    So, here is the problem ( from my perspective and without the copy of the type of open-source Lic used ).
    A) did the repository have the legal right's to place it back?
    B) does the author of the work have recourse against the repository

    people seem to want to blame Kik ( the brand), but the real blame here seems to be the repository acting
    without a legal "demands" and the lack of the brand and/or the author trying to negotiate.

    if the repository acted incorrectly due to the open source Lic, they will be subjected to the rule a violation of infringement which could be calculated per download, I think the max is around $750K to $850K total

    well I took my time, did some quick research for southern Florida ...
    we change to $$$ machines in the major supermarkets
    using $75 + 1 to 24 random we come out with 2300 ( 3% variance) stops average

    buy some food for the house ( 10.00 ) per stop
    now the change machine will credit you the service fee
    and we have about 3 stops per day on a 5 day work week
    3 to 4 years of work ( 210 work year )
    clearing 200 a day
    and eating healthier.

    I don't think I can find more than 15 supermarkets to hit in 1 week to do everything

    While the source you are citing is another form of unemployment, http://fortune.com/2015/09/14/...
    that's the same link you posted. he's posting 23 vs 5, in which is the current number (U3 = 4.9 ) in use and quoted to the public. the numbers shown are unemployment of population ( 16 years to death ) which read based on that chart 40.6% and since taking office 41.7ish. but I'm more interested in the 23.

    Thank you for citing your source.

    while I can not test it yet, it would be interesting to see if the current president increased jobs while we had population growth.

  9. Re:what a laugh on How Donald Trump Uses Twitter As a Weapon of Fear · · Score: 1

    if you are going to make a statement like that ".no it's 23 percent" then cite the sources because it seems interesting that the number of 4.9 is today's number, the peak was somewhere around the 10-20's, depression era was in the 35-40's ( that's my number and will explain after the link ) http://www.bls.gov/news.releas...

    when we cite the great depression, most people forget that a large percentage ( greater than 10% ) of the entire population shifted around for years, just doing whatever to get by. so those people never got counted. I can only say that my youth brought me in contact with many people from the depression and their stories. I'm looking at this from the male employment force. I can recall one story where during the lady's job interview, the lady said her husband had a job, and the employer said " a family with a job already, can't hire you"

    While I can understand why you think these people are not a threat to Europe and the USA... let's bring some knowledge into the game;

    China and Russian have tried and failed multiple times to cause the "dollar" to collapse http://www.usnews.com/news/art... is just one of the many examples

    9/11 was caused by a small group of people.

    The ability to create and hack electronic systems has never been easier, if you keep reading slashdot, you'll see that all infrastructures are weak, also, it seems that bio-hacking might be on the rise ( no validation on that aspect, just perspective )

    the sad fact is, if these guys were not on the radar as a threat, they have become now. if I ran facebook or twitter, I would exercise my ability to track and annonomously give information to those that show a missle firing down the pipe...

    I was thinking along the following lines ...

    big x's mark about 20 or 30 spots on the moon.
    you can see it with a real powerful telescope
    that would have been invented around 1900
    this is a frame of reference to technology to spot it

    we know that they have to develop a huge roman candle to get to the moon
    so we have to form some sort of lock that 1950's humans could open
    when they get to the X

    Now we have to design a language, What would 1950's human read ...
    it's got to be binary or math or chemical symbols ( Water would be one of
    them, using 3 orbs connected properly with size difference I am guessing )

    so we get them in, find the door language, and basically a lot of instruction
    books in large writing ( 5 point ) going smaller

    we have given them everything, from the IC design to today, but they have to
    design more powerful microscopes and stuff every time to see deeper and learn more
    it's a huge instruction book set with lot's of redundancy

  25. You missed something ...
    Netflix uses product placement.
    sources

    http://www.ign.com/articles/20...
    http://nypost.com/2015/03/02/h...

    Also, a more valid reason why Netflix does not report numbers..
    valuation of the show, better numbers always equal more revenue but don't equal more profits,
    profits get eaten up by writers and actors at the negotiation tables . Notice that many writers and actors are forming production companies and or are becoming executive producers...

    Product placement people are already following the street gossip, checking with Nealson for crappy Netflix data, and pricing out the idea.
    netflix already knows its numbers, get's data from Nealson via third parties to check what the industry is guessing and then maximizes revenue

    follow the money ...
