It don't matter. Civil disobedience is still a thing, and if you're willing to spend some time in jail, not because you are guilty, but because you believe in something, then it doesn't matter what any political party wants.
Gonna do like they did during the prohibition and drink anyway? Gonna do like they did when being black was a crime?
Or you gonna post nihilistic garbage every time some other country does something that, due to the deep tradition in feudalism and monarchy, and willingness to disappear people basically in public, is really only possible there?
Oh, make parallels if you like, but be sincere. Don't be stupid so that I have to point out your stupidity.
"Windows 10" is the "OS X" of Redmond. OS X was released in 2001, still has the same name, but has evolved quite a bit. It also means "Ten" in Latin.
Windows 10 is going to incrementally alienate every single desktop user, which is the business user, which is where Microsoft makes most of its money. Headless virtual machines on keyboardless commodity hardware are not going to be administered by tablet, and the stupid tablet interface is really just going to piss people off.
Well, that sounds terrible. Maybe they should have gone with Roman numbers instead of those Arabic ones, given the world today.
Do I have to explain why Sony is bad? Here of all places you retarded piece of shit?
Do I need to give you a reason to not like Microsoft, where the long time image was Borg Bill?
I made it to the summary, the articles linked, and way past your ignorance, I assume, unless you are newly born and have no notion of history, nor context.
No less than 5 idiots posted direct replies asking what seemed like a rhetorical question, and the linked story from last year was filled with the same idiocy.
So I don't need fuckshits like you who still can't be arsed to form a conclusion being chief stupid in charge of the stupids.
There is no such thing as a rhetorical question. They all have answers.
Years ago, fark.com went from external images to hosted images. I didn't see the endgame.
This week, JavaScript is required to load the images. It's vendor lock in all over again. Because who uses an external host if you can just click upload?
And then I see the same advert every 5 posts.
Forbes is a white page to me, LATimes us just the menu with a word or two, and several other sites have absolute divs that cover most of the content.
Your whining about idiotic DRM is just the tip of the iceberg. Bypassing by disabling is one thing. Loading a giant page that renders illegibly requires server resources that, as long as I mostly have wi fi, I'm willing to refresh repeatedly to ensure it really is a problem with the site.
Possibly. I can't find a link to the British case where playing a radio outside was considered a public performance, so here's some us centric advice supporting your ad absurdum.
Starship Troopers was the closest Heinlein came to a Randian manifesto. "The cat who walks through walls" was my first Heinlein novel, and thoroughly light hearted. It could happen in 1960 with minor changes, if you ignore the expanded universe in which it takes place.
The short stories are hit and miss, but the hits are worth the misses.
"The moon" is more grounded and serious, and more typical of Heinlein.
Just don't accidentally read the diary of the redhead, or "Time Enough for Love", without having 4 or 5 other novels under your belt.
Anyway, I can't imagine a moon story breaking new ground, since Heinlein placed about a third of his writing around the entire colonization process, start to finish. More science would be distracting and redundant, unless it has some twist unique to the moon.
I read the whole Wikipedia article on transfer pricing. It is regulated far more stringently than I imagined, with much power given to the IRS if it determines that pricing is not reasonable.
I'm glad that you suggested looking it up instead of providing a biased source, because it seems like a reasonable allowance. Nothing like what "read it and weep" suggests.
I thought transfer pricing could be arbitrary and capricious, because people on the internet make it sound like that. Turns out, at least for American companies, which is the topic, documentation needs to be in place when filing taxes, as opposed to when or if the company is investigated or audited. Thanks for clearing up my misconception.
Legal definitions invite legal scholars to find loopholes. Even the best intentioned law will have some clever law students finding a way to be employed by finding a way to remain legal enough to survive a court case.
Following the spirit of the law is not part of capitalism, nor part of the American cultural tradition. Argue otherwise all you like, but history shows the truth.
A stockholder should not be punished if the held company is following the law. And good luck trying to word a law that does what you want without penalizing companies and stockholders that are legit.
Your idealism is adorably ignorant. And probably dangerous.
Why would you wait for ignoramus posts? And why tell us that's what you are doing? Starting the argument because no one else yet had? You are nonsense and noise.
You clearly do not have any idea why OPM had the data it had. It has been discussed here plenty of times so I won't waste time being redundant. It is so much a bigger deal than what you think. Epic does not begin to hint at the implications.
Is it cheaper to pay for a whole production season of a show, basically an 8+ hour movie, or license 4 two hour movies? Why would Netflix consider this strategy?
Rights holders are doing their own streaming, but it started before that. Netflix started getting delayed access to DVDs before streaming took off, so netflix started content production as a hedge. One or two hits and subscribers jumped on.
And profit margin is higher on DVD by mail, yet they push people towards streaming.
IOW it won't happen, though they would if they could.
Paramount just released like 500 old movies on YouTube, and I would bet that others will take advantage of existing infrastructure instead of building their own streaming. And we are back to ad supported content vs premium paid.
God dammit, that's why you calculate your daily rent, and optionally tack on profit. You don't pay your rent that day, some random stranger does. To you, so you can turn it over to the property owner.
If subletting is not in the contract, you lose those days. If it is allowable, and you can't AirBnb it, you have to pay the rent.
Finally, let me restate your post. All rentees shall renegotiate their contracts for a per diem scale instead of monthly. When you don't live there, you don't pay. What will a landlord do then?
Rent your place to a stranger when you aren't there. That would happen. How do they know? Because you can't just pay what you feel like at the end if the month, and all kinds if additional contractual things.
Better that you charge enough to cover the fee, because you won't like the alternative. If you don't like that, become a real estate mogul and do business your way.
You and the four idiots who moderated you up should take a break from the internet and learn things. I can't even start tocorrect you, and thank goodness someone else tried. Please read that reply, and consider how wrong your idealistic and ignorant reply might be, before posting anywhere in the future.
Pick a side based on what? The outcome of this case? Done, customer loses. Fear of prosecution? Done, customer loses.
Very few businesses are customer privacy advocates, and when the legal system roundhouse kicks their skull, like LavaBit, the options are further limited.
If a business is not explicitly for due process, then assume they are not. They have already chosen sides, unless they follow the letter and spirit of the law. Currently, because of the lopsided DMCA, that means anti consumer.
They may have been on a fence, but it is not their move to make now. Their hand is forced.
Who pays the most is ignorant cynicism, and best ignored.
Would you rather them muck up real science instead?
Why, they ask, do scientists trust theories that have not been experimentally tested? Worse, in some cases, these theories cannot even been tested in principle. Is this still science?
When Einstein worked with pretty much just math to predict a bunch of stuff, that was science. Gravitational waves still haven't been detected, so is that just hogwash until empiricism confirms it?
One of the basic needs of string theory seems to be the graviton, which is fundamentally unnecessary if gravity is just a curvature of space-time. I would much prefer a universe without a graviton, in fact. But in order to truly say that string theory is actual hogwash, we would need how to test and study in 11 dimensions. Just to rule it out. Until it is ruled out, the best you can say is "unproven".
I can't say whether we will figure that out at all, and neither can you. Meanwhile, they are doing no harm. And, they may stumble on something that *can* be tested. And I'm not going to take a stand on whether it is the same sort of mathturbation as Relativity until then. Meanwhile, they can engage in *METAPHYSICS* all they want.
I agree that it's not physics. But when you have 5 different independent theories which are then unified into a coherent M-Theory, and many solutions to simplified conditions (such as the vacuum solution) reduce to accepted physics, there are two conclusions. One, they started with known math and complicated it unnecessarily. Or two, there just might be something there.

Monetization of the web properties owned by Dice. Each complaint is another page view. Thanks for running up the numbers.
So Android is out, spycrosoft 10 is out, and not sure I want in on the walled garden. Cyanogen and what else are options?
Sounds like you have a warning to change how you develop.
I suspect that running a new installer followed by older ones will keep the static versions intact, but that only baselines. It won't work forever.
You got some work to do.

Belonging is important. Saving money, aka spending fewer dollars on stuff you would not buy at full price, is as euphoric as drugs.
So many other reasons. Give it some thought and come back. I'm sure you can come up with one or two more.
You are in the minority, and it would serve you well to understand a bit about "these people".
You left out the account number. Please reply ASAP.
Posting anon for obvious reasons.

Your idealism is adorably ignorant. And probably dangerous.
Scaling up may mean additional support or different materials, and a production model will likely have more or fewer features.
It's a test model to learn stuff with, IOW, so you can't extrapolate within an order of magnitude without knowing a lot more details.

This is literally the worst news ever.
IIRC at a certain point, cases can be combined. So the effect would be limited to the law clerks doing a lot of reading and phone calls.
The right thing to do is find something that qualifies for small claims court. Set up a how to wiki, and file cases gradually.
Small claims is expensive for a big business, and they will probably default on most claims. Bonus, everyone gets more money and DTV loses
