Just because he advertised and performed a commercial service for personal profit, so that others could harm the producers of the games that they went on to pirate, in clear violation of a law drawn up specifically to target his behaviour, well, Chewbacca lives on Endor, so you must acquit.
I 100% guarantee you that they'll be poised to make last minute dialogue chances to whatever Parking-Lot Epic is just about to start filming. Run, Kristy Swanson, the arsenic based blob is after you!
If you're repulsed by raw meat, stick to gnawing on grass and fungus. Personally, I love raw fish and steak. If you don't want yours, pass it over here.
Something has just occurred to me. You know all those anti-gayer politicians, the ones who spend every waking moment thinking about nothing except men putting their man-bits into other man-bits? Putting them in hard and urgently, thrusting again and again and again and agaaiiiuuuuuuuurh.
Maybe PETA is like those guys. They just can't stop thinking about murdering furry animals. Their trusting eyes begging them, no, please, not the lethal injection, don't stick it in meeeeeeeee....
You protest too much, and people are going to start to question whether you're more interested in the cure, or the problem.
Hey, those multi-billion dollar multi-national corporations bought their laws fair and square. And look, the State is honest enough to stay bought. It's all very honorable.
So instead the paid the Danegeld. They can now expect a lot more Danes to come demanding their cut.

Thumbs up. There are emergent patterns with little "comment breaks" overlaid for spice. I genuinely find it comforting and calming. It's like Vulcan poetry.
I know, the thought of putting a small modern gasoline or diesel generator in your basement to generate electricity and provide winter heat - 100% efficient, less the noise energy - is utterly ridiculous. Far greener to charge an electric car from the 40 year old coal plant hidden behind the hill, right?
Crib notes: even in California, fossil plants still accounts for northwards of 80% of electricity generation. Electric cars plus regulation may tip that towards renewables, but make no mistake that the first few generations of electric vehicles are going to be powered by dinosaurs.
All public photography is illegal in Kuwait, except for licensed journalists. This includes DSLRs, compacts, camera phones, video, everything.
Kuwait does not publish its laws, has no freedom of information - legally or culturally - and sees no problem at all with lying about what the law is. Like all police states, Kuwait would rather that everyone be guilty of something. Enforcement is completely arbitrary - visiting businessmen (better believe I mean 'men') taking snaps are unlikely to be hassled, unless you do something rash like film the slave labour conditions in their foreign-staffed construction sites.
Do the absolute minimum amount of work that it takes to fake your way through your audits. Process People are a cost to your business, not an asset. If you invest time in processes, then you are not producing anything that your customers want to pay for - all CMMI/ISO compliance is about their Process People ticking the boxes that say your Process People have ticked their boxes.
Can you imagine being Gate Raped by the sort of security employee who couldn't even get one of them ritzy fancy-pants TSA jobs at the airport?
At some point I think we really have to acknowledge that putting the cast of Jersey Shore in charge of the nation's security is like giving the lunatics the keys to the asylum and saying "Go mad!"
My experience of Ubuntu Desktop LTS releases has been that that Supported consists of Canonical saying "Yeah, well, the good news is that it ain't getting any worse". And then they roll out an update that shags your drivers.
I know, I know, you get what you pay for, roll your own if you need it to be stable or up to date. But I don't think Canonical is really committed to LTS releases, and I'm pretty sure that individual developers aren't. Interest in N+1 tails off even before release, as all the cool kids start working on N+2.
Oh, it's not even a question of whether it's "supported" or not, it's whether some bleeding edge genius decides to grab and roll out a temporarily borked driver for your "supported" hardware, just because it's got a new feature that they want to use in theirs.
Bad enough if it's your printer or scanner, but shafting Jane User's display or network driver even once, for one day, on her sole machine, effectively bricks it until Jane puts on some makeup, maybe does something with her hair, and finds a real man to fix it for her, put a baby in her belly and tell her to git off that darn computer and bake him some pie.

Yup, the only precedent set her is "Lawyers win again".

What do you expect, when so many soccermoms still drive SUVs? We need to cut back our usage to a sustainable level and turn down the dial on the sun.
Based on everything I've learned from Hollywood, all they'll have to do is splice in some frog DNA, and then: raptor-sheep.

A: No, I'm super mega awesome and totally deserve more money!

You have to sue people to make money from patents. Your daddy is the lawyer. He's the one who's going to makes money from your idea, not you.

Clear now?
And kdawson is the very small shell script that Taco wrote in 2004 to dupe 3 day old posts.
At this point, I think it's fair to say that Slashdot has achieved self awareness. It's just not benign sentience.
Do you know what the word "pretext" means?
I'll type it slowly: if you go to war ostensibly over a memo, then you were already going to war. The memo just came along at a convenient time.

Then God help us. God help us all.
I don't wish to offend or flatter you more than you deserve, but you are either seriously retarded, or a very talented troll.
You know how you ghouls are always "Consult a lawyer before doing anything!!!!ELEVEN!!!" ?
If you read the patent claim and compare it to the published assembly, it's identical.
Oh, you don't speak assembly? Then consult a coder before spouting off your Class A Federal Alpha Constitutional wankspeak.
Please take it as a sign that you need to spend more time with your compiler and less with the Director of Buzzword Bingo.
