It doesn't need to be transparent, so we have a multitude of materials we can make it out of that are light. It'll feel like they're walking uphill, but the purpose of a hamster ball is to allow the little rat to get exercise while being safe from the family dog and cat. It could be marketed as a panic ball in case of an attack by zombies.
So just put them on the inside of a human-sized hamster ball on gimbals. And a virtual bag of Cheetos that seems to be just outside the ball to exercise your human:-)
It depends - is it the sound of Beiber choking to death on a ham sandwich? (RIP Mama Cass, yes, I know the ham sandwich is an urban legend, but the media never let the facts get in the way of a good story:-)
"All that junk" could include crap like treadmills so that you can virtually exceed 15x15, fancy "jet seat" chairs with vibration, tilt, etc. And of course the vr gear.
Thank you! It's amazing how quickly that's happening. Who needs a "computer desk" for a laptop, tablet, or smartphone? And when you don't need a computer desk, that frees up that space (in many times an entire small room) for something else.
The other advantage today is that you don't take turns sitting at the computer desk. Laptops work fine at the kitchen table, and handhelds work on the couch, in bed, or wherever.
Most people don't have desktop computers any more. They have laptops, tablets, phones, but desktops? Nope.
I know of one exception - one of my neighbors. She has a computer desk and desktop - but they're piled under a ton of junk because nobody uses them. She has 3 tablets, a smartphone, and 2 laptops. When the grand-kids come over, they use the kitchen table for homework, same as we did when we were kids.
So a company desperate to grab a toehold in an up-and-coming industry rushes a barely developed product to market, people buy it, become massively disappointed so when the other companies try and release a better and more polished device everyone brings up 'we've seen this before' and kills the market dead..
Yep, those first crappy "home computers" sure poisoned the well for everybody.
Then again, look at how many people don't use the 3d on their 3d tv.
Really? Like the dedicated "computer room" everyone had? Where have the space in the big-box office supplies was devoted to "computer furniture"? And now all they sell is office chairs?
I wouldn't be surprised if in 10 years that most people have dedicated VR rooms.
And I wouldn't be surprised if all the junk is sitting by the curb in 20 years, same as those big-screen projection TVs and computer desks.
If you remember, the monkey couldn't claim copyright because monkeys have no standing to claim copyright.
As for getting a DMCA takedown notice, I've been threatened a couple of times in the past, and basically told them to go pee up a rope. DMCA only works in the US:-)
The women would probably not be as harsh as the men, some who would see themselves acting as "White Knights". He'd be (marginally) better of with an all-woman jury.
As I pointed out, there's always FedEx, UPS, DHL.
Second, they can just have a new mailing address every few days, same as scammers move from one internet address to another, same with telemarketers.
if you do a photo shoot with a model you ask them for a model release (right to use their image)
You still own the copyright of the image. How you can use it is another matter. THAT is why you get a release. You have the right to limit copies to just the one you have - the model cannot say "hey, I like that picture of me - I want it to sell to a magazine." She would need a waiver from you, or, better yet, a copyright assignment.
His satirical post raised a seemingly valid point. Since when are people "f*cking morons" for addressing it? See, for example, George Carlin's 7 words you can't say on TV, and how the list is out of date because at least half of them are not bleeped out in, say, news interviews on the 6 o'clock news.
Only the creator - the person who took the photo - owns copyright to it, unless there has been a transfer of copyright executed. So, whoever took his picture has copyright to it, unless it was a work for hire for him. On a side note, I doubt he's got all the paperwork for each of those photos he posted.
Get real. If a woman had been running the revenge porn site, it wouldn't have changed anything. Blackmail is blackmail. Extortion is extortion. None of the media have posted nude pictures of him and said "Give me $500 and we'll take them down."
The population growth figures for 2065 still show an increase in population, not a decline, except under the most favorable (or unfavorable, depending on your point of view) circumstances.
I have no problem with that. I've hated "the cloud" as an attempt to re-brand servers on the internet. And even more after those dumb microsoft cloud commercials a few years ago.

Send them money to keep your account balance in the black.

Hey, since when is 50 old? I hear 70 is the new 50, and soon it's be 80.
Also, classic rock never gets old - your kids will be listening to the same songs (at least until they find out you grew up with those songs).

Just take all those combine harvesters and mow them down.

1. Send it to wikileaks.
2. Send anon email to company saying the information has been posted tow wikileaks.
3. Watch them have massive coronaries.

As for the NFL, who cares? Not me, that's for sure. But the NFL's over-broad copyright claims have not been upheld by the courts.

None of those have restrictions on mailing a $20 bill.

At the very least, you know there are going to be at least a few women on the jury.

Anyone could do business with mega...Just show up with cash, or gold coins, or a couple of fucking sheep. Is that your position?
There's this thing called the post office. And you don't trust the USPS, there's always FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc.
Or they can accept the latest darling of digital hipsters, bitcoins.
They can change the mailing address every week, with no mention of it being a drop-off for mega.
The vast majority of cash and cash equivalents sent through the mail doesn't get stolen.
The post office employees know which envelopes contain credit cards, but they're still sent through the mail.
I have no problem with that. I've hated "the cloud" as an attempt to re-brand servers on the internet. And even more after those dumb microsoft cloud commercials a few years ago.
