The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.
The only thing they did was shave a bit off the edges. This is completely different than using ten seconds of a two minute song. What they did was used 1:45 of a 2:00 minute song.
A bit off the edges? They only used 36% of the original image.That's a pretty hefty shave IMO.
Having experience with the admin interfaces for both Google Apps for Business and for Microsoft's Outlook/Office accounts, I very much prefer the Google versions. The Google interface makes far more sense and is more responsive, while the Microsoft's is excruciatingly slow and looks like it was thrown together by a group of CS 101 students.
You mean like Apple's trade-in and recycling program? If the device can be refurbished, you get a small credit, otherwise it's still a free service.
Apple GiveBack lets you recycle any Apple device and devices from Apple owned brands at any Apple Store and online. We'll make sure it's recycled responsibly or given a chance to be used again. Some devices may also be eligible for credit. You can bring your batteries and old Apple-products to any Apple Store, and we'll recycle them responsibly, free of charge. We accept any small product or battery without purchase of a new product or battery.
I remember my school banning backpacks for the aesthetics/cleanliness aspects. Try walking between two rows of tightly packed student desks when the kids have unwieldy backpacks (some with a dozen+ zipper compartments). Maybe they should adopt a Japanese style standard sized school bag instead of allowing just any sized backpack.
This change is similar to changing the default referrer policy header from no-referrer-when-downgrade to strict-origin-when-cross-origin. (which probably should have been the default anyway)
Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin Send a full URL when performing a same-origin request, only send the origin of the document to a-priori as-much-secure destination (HTTPS->HTTPS), and send no header to a less secure destination (HTTPS->HTTP).
These days, you can leave out the brick and mortar stores as well, often with higher quality results. (I've seen cheap shirts in stores that are as thin as pantyhose)
I have been using Spotify with their official Ubuntu/Debian package for years. Native "apt-get install spotify-client" seems far cleaner than a Snap for.deb based distros.
The Linux interface looks pretty much identical to the Windows interface (minus a bit of high DPI support) and lets you download the songs for offline listening. Desktop notifications (for new song, etc) even work in my XFCE environment.
The extension was able to be installed if you had the "Firefox Studies" checkbox selected. To prevent Firefox Studies from installing extensions on your behalf:
Navigate to: "about:preferences#privacy"
Scroll down to the "Firefox Data Collection and Use" section
Uncheck the "Allow Firefox to install and run studies" checkbox (and the others, if you wish)
and my 3-stage, 16 SEER unit can keep my house at 72 without the auxiliary (3rd stage) strip heating elements when the outside temperature is down to just below freezing.
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio and applies only to cooling.
HSPF stands for Heating Season Performance Factor and is basically the SEER rating for winter.
A purely resistive electric heater would have a HSPF of 1, while most heat pumps have HSPF numbers of over 8.
This is likely just to comply with the new Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) that all US websites now have to follow. If the user enters their birth date (most Facebook users do, for reminders) then the company knows the user is under 13 and must then comply with a long list of new regulations.
I just confirmed on my iPhone. Although, to be fair, if you have sounds enabled you can easily hear (or rather not-hear) the "tick" sound when the operator button fails to notice that its been touched.
The real fail is the existence of animations in general. Why do they make you wait 1-2 seconds to watch a "fly in" animation when you unlock the screen? Or any number of other equally time consuming transition animations. The phone would feel so much faster if you could disable all* of these silly animations.
* Some reduced motion toggles are still available in the "Accessibility" settings
The surprising part of that picture is that none of the panels seem to be broken into pieces. Straighten out the frames, remount the blue squares, and reconnect the wires - a vast amount of those panels will probably still work just fine.
Netflix streaming used to crop movies using Pan and Scan to match the 16:9 ratio of most TV sets. I'm not sure if they still do this; but I prefer seeing the full width, even if it means a few black bars.
Android has a history of allowing applications that insert ads on the lock screen and preventing the user from disabling them.
Many devices, including my own Asus Transformer tablet, have preinstalled applications that can not be uninstalled or disabled. This type of user-hostile experience has been common on Android devices since the very beginning.
Did anyone else notice the microphone is always on and listening? On a phone. Without a disable switch.
Speaking of audio, the Pixel 2s have a music recognition feature that is always on, Google’s director of product management Sabrina Ellis revealed. Whenever music is playing nearby and the second-generation Pixel recognizes the song, it will automatically show the artist and title on your lock screen.
The obvious next step is to display an ad to "purchase" the song in the Play store. Or maybe just go ahead and charge you anyway if you don't a have sufficient license to the song.
Be careful what you say near a Pixel phone. If the phone can continually listen for songs, it could also continually listen for key words and phrases.
It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself – anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime, it was called.
and I have to drop my kids off at school no earlier than 8 AM
Schools have school buses for children to get to and from school for free. Or you can walk. I'm also from Texas and did both when I was in elementary/middle*/high school.
* My middle school was actually too close to my neighborhood and refused to offer bus service. So I walked, which was probably better anyway.

Except it won't be an actual button that physically moves, but a simulated key press using a haptic engine.

Except that violates a fundamental reason behind the philosophy.

Starlink?! There will never be a more opportune time to name a service "Skynet"!
Over 64% of the company, Arianespace, is from France. Germany is the next highest percentage, with just under 20%.

Try out http://www.blankshirts.com/ for example.
Some "new" clothing items even come with holes pre-worn into the knees and colors already faded, etc. And they'll pay extra for this...
They did - in the beta. The drop down actually had two columns, one side was positive and the other side was negative.
