every other nationality in the hemisphere has a national name by which to call themselves
Some Costa Ricans feel that their country doesn't really have a proper name. Like "United States," It's more of a description than a name. By the way, they call people from the US Estadounidenses, or roughly, United Statesians.
Or more recently: The Eudamonic Pie, when in the early eighties a group of physicists used computers in their shoes to predict where the ball would fall off the rail and hit a section of the wheel.
I know what an analogy is. To use your smart ass phrasing, perhaps you should look up the definition of flawed. And I explained why it's flawed. And so instead of conceding that it was not apt, you try to minimize the difference by making the item a can of sauce. But that does not change the fact that the two acts are, in the end, not analogous.
This does not mean that I think copyright infringement does not ever cause harm. But let me propose a scenario of my own. Suppose you see, oh, a fancy car that you'd really like to have. And I hand you a magic wand that will, when you wave it, make a new car magically appear for you. The car will not be taken from anyone. It'll be a new one created out of thin air. Do you wave the wand? If so, you've done the same thing as downloading a song.
purchase the item in the first place, and to make sure that it's been placed on the shelves. That's effort.
Writing, performing, recording music, that's effort too.
Yes, but in your analogy, they have to go purchase the item again. Until they do they can't benefit from anyone. In the second case, they don't have to write, perform, or record it again, and can still benefit from the effort. So they are simply not the same. And no matter what hammer you use, you can't pound the copyright infringement peg into the theft hole.
But I am not saying that I think infringement is ok. I don't. But it's not stealing.
OK, so would going into a shop and taking something and leaving behind the exact amount that the store paid for it be acceptable to you?
A poor analogy. So poor, in fact, that I have to wonder if you are being intentionally misleading. The only way to make your analogy work is to say "Woul it be ok to go into a shop and make a copy of something, leaving behind the item you copied."
Maybe there's something I just don't get about IMAP. To me it just makes reading email slow and painful. With POP it just comes in in the background, and when I feel like it I can blitz through the messages. I can see how it would be nice with a local mail server, but I still have the feeling I'm missing something.
- The premium is high (about 0.5% to 1% of your house value a year)
- The deductible is very high: 15% of the house value.
So you're getting from 85-1 to 170-1 that your house will be completely destroyed within one year? That sounds like a terrible bet. What do you think the true odds are? 100,000 to one?
nah, it'd never happen. they'd have to raise the minimum wage to at least $10/hr
That'd help. Maybe they should make it $100 an hour! Think of how much money you'd have then! Before you start counting your dough, let me tell you. About zero.
since actually being able to see whether you have three or five bars doesn't really alter how you play anyway. I know the health bar is missing from multiplayer, but I'm not sure about single-player, where it can affect your strategy. It would make sense not to have in in multiplayer, but still keep it in single-player.
It's very important to me in multiplayer. If I just won a battle, and my partner lost one, whether I stay and try to finish the opponent or run for health depends almost entirely on how close I am to dying. I know the other guy's hurt, so if I'm on say, three yellows, I'll figure I can finish him off. This is just one example. It has a big influence throughout on the decisions I make.
Most thursdays four of us get together and play two on two here, with two screens. Losing team calls the next game. Most of our games are without shields and often no grenades are allowed. Many are single-weapon. Usually the weapon chosen fits the map, but not always. Once or twice a session we'll also play grenades only, and once in a while Melee only. Try that with rocket launchers. It's like trying to hit each other with 4x4 lumber.

You have to play on separate TVs. Otherwise he can just look at your screen and see where you are.
Well, this Life game I heard of takes about 70 years or so. Don't know if it's any good though. I have heard really good things about Life II, but it may turn out to just be vaporware.

And I suspect that group is highly correlated with the group that posts the step 3 profit and overlord jokes, thinking they're hilarious.
Or just maybe he simply meant what he said. It happens sometimes.

It's not about OS zealotry. It's about thieves and robbers and scoundrels.

So you conveniently ignore the rest of it?

I don't hat him. Now Donald Trump, there's a guy I'd like to hat.
That's what digital signatures look like. They didn't invent them. And it's in the header. You don't have to deal with it, computers do.

Yeah, and you can read all about it here, including the actual reviewer comments.
Perhaps that's the most telling thing of all.
Even that's not true. Among equal teams, the home team will win over 60% of the time.
How far does it shoot? How did you make it?

"tested the waters"
"best IT on the block"
"pharma companies"
That's less than a single person.
That'd help. Maybe they should make it $100 an hour! Think of how much money you'd have then! Before you start counting your dough, let me tell you. About zero.
Well, yeah. If there was no damage it probably wouldn't be on the way out.
