what DRM? You stream the music through the iTunes app. If you want to buy a song or album you download it as a DRM-free mp3. I don't see the complication.
Apple Connect,
for the non-fanbois, apple connect is a social media network specifically for music and tied to apple music. Remains to be seen if it can take off considering it is not facebook/twitter.
and the new service flat out not working on some music devices
. It works on any apple device. it may also work on some androids, I don't know. check if your device supports it before you do the free trial. if your device doesn't support it, then use a different service (spotify, Pandora) that does support it. no big dea.
after reading your post, with the words "danzig", "1708/09", "brine", and "blood-heat", the answer is obviously yes. none of those words are part of my human experience.
i disagree, especially about the temperature scale. 98% of the human experience falls between 0 F and 100 F. in metric, the range is -20 C to 40 C. You must agree that the F scale is much more intuitive.
Proponents of the metric system make two points: 1) the rest of the world does it so it must be good 2) it feels intuitively nice, orders of magnitude, etc.
the above point speaks to number two on this list.
the common term is "US customary units". Also, many countries that use metric for many measurements also still use imperial or other units for some measurements. For example, Canada uses the imperial gallon in many situations, which is ~20% bigger than the US gallon.
Units are complicated and many people overstate the benefits of having uniform worldwide units. If I'm choosing a unit for how I sell my goods, what's more important, that the person down the street is familiar with the unit, or somebody from Ghana will be familiar if he travels to my store.
Besides, the insistence on worldwide conformity has hints of some sort of New World Order conspiracy.
tangential thread - how many emails do you get in a day and how long do you keep them?
I usually get about 50 emails, half of which I need to engage on, and half of which are just FYIs. I usually delete emails on my first pass if I know I'll never need them. But once the emails get "below the fold" they're not going to be deleted. I have email history going back 6+ years.
it's all keyword searchable, of course. I like it that way.
Consider that it is illegal to impersonate a priest in the Vatican and you can get arrested there for that. No such law applies in much of the world.
Comic-con would be the locality of a thousand arrests. Including the poor schlep dressed as GI-Joe. Golly clowns...
to be fair, if you're dressed as a clown, you're not impersonating a clown per se, you're actually being a clown, albeit an amateur clown. if you dress as a storm trooper, you don't magically turn into an actual stormtrooper, you're just some fucker who needs to leave his childhood behind and finally embrace adulthood.
It's basically impossible to avoidplayingtheirmusic, unless you go completely mute. See my comment later in this thread.
My beef is with their M.O. They are likeIP trolls, bullying companies into preemptively licensing their material because they'll sue you maybe if you don't. but it's worse than that, because BMI preys on non-savvy small businesses that don't have copywrite experience, can't affordtohave a lawyer on retainer, and definitely can't afford the cost of a lawsuit, even if they win. It's like the people who prey on the elderly because they are easy targets. Scum. ASCAP is basically the same.
Former Restautantosaur here. These BMI/ASCAP people are thugs. They cold call random businesses, threatening potential legal penalties if you don't buy a blanket license. They basically say, 'if you don't buy a license now, one of our inspectors might come out to your shop, and if we hear any of our music playing we're gonna sue your ass.' Then they go after random people like the guy in the article 'to set an example.' Thugs, it's all extortion.
teal deer, Obama keeps ramping up troops and operations but still hasn't locked in an authorization, and he is paying the price politically. It's like moving into a place before signing the lease.
i've seen videos online that are made using GTA clips. I suppose that rockstar could provide access to the entire world in these clips to turn them into VR clips.
OK, I looked it up... it's like a dry barren area. if CA were a barren area, how could it be the breadbasket of the world and be feeding the entire nation????????
why? cuz smoking is gross and nasty and smelly. I want to actually enjoy the food that I'm paying for, not to have everything taste like an ashtray. The same goes for both tobacco and MJ.
But I don't have the right to tell some guy what behaviors he can't allow in his place.
it depends. places of public accomodation have significantly curtailed private property rights. think ADA requirements or nondiscrimination requirements. Also places that require licenses (like restaurants) open themselves up to restrictions that would not otherwise be imposed on private property.
so yes, in many cases, "we" (society) have the right to tell some guy what behaviors he can't allow in his place.

Add to that the complications by DRM.

Are you sure the first is more intuitive?
after reading your post, with the words "danzig", "1708/09", "brine", and "blood-heat", the answer is obviously yes. none of those words are part of my human experience.
An imperial gallon is simply 4 Liters, a metric measurement.
nopee. an imperial gallon is a little more than 4.5 liters.
you're thinking of the little-used unit "quadliter", which falls between a US gallon and an imperial gallon.

Not too big to put it into a woman's ass and be comfortable and even feel good
I think you misunderstand the purpose of anal sex. The desired outcome for both parties is not for the recipient to "feel comfortable".

I think this is supposed to be spelled, "your an idiot!!"

BMI pays the songwriters. They're basically authors, not entertainers.

I was just reading about Jurassic world, so when I looked at the headline I thought it said Restautantosaur. How cool would that be?
So fuck you and your self righteous conservative bullshit.
Frown boner! The linked article is factual and neutral analysis. It's posted on WaPo, not breitbart! You should read it, you may find it interesting.
speaking of bombs, imma drop some knowledge bombs on you.
Still no legal authorization for the war against ISIS.

i dunno, it sounds kinda tongue in cheek. like a Burglary for Dummies book.

OK, I looked it up... it's like a dry barren area. if CA were a barren area, how could it be the breadbasket of the world and be feeding the entire nation????????
no it doesn't, because not much corn is grown in CA. The two greatest water consumers are parsley and rice. I don't know why the summary mentions it.
it's not a desert
i think you're overreaching a bit.
sure man, i can get on board with this. ban the smoking in public. my motto, if something is smoking, call the fire department or douse it with water.
why? cuz smoking is gross and nasty and smelly. I want to actually enjoy the food that I'm paying for, not to have everything taste like an ashtray. The same goes for both tobacco and MJ.
