Maybe youre grasp of English is just lacking. He is an icon, and he is American. American is an adjective. This means that the noun in question, here the icon, is from America.
Now, put all that in a 20kB program with a 5kB installer. I have never developed anything, outside of my few attempts to implement what you just said, that used the registry in any way. Again, as a user, I can tell you that programs that break just because you move them from one system to another are ANNOYING. You, my friend, are a perfect example of why Bloatware is so common, and why most games dont work when you move them or reinstall windows.
The difference is that when I click on something in the start menu I want, and expect, it to open a new application. When I click on things in a program I do NOT want, or expect, that to happen. One of the few exceptions to that expectation is help files, but windows help files are almost the worst possible format to put a manual in.
you put your manual under the help menu? that adds all the trouble of building an html (or whatever format you prefer for your manual) viewer into it. or you have it launch a seperate viewer? thats ANNOYING. as a user I can tell you that I *HATE* it when one program launches another. (no stupid jokes about Explorer launching everything, you know what I mean, Sim City 4 launching a frickin web browser when I hit Multiplayer)
Because its a pain in the ass to actually get the add/remove programs thing to work with my software. I have never written anything that it DID work with, although I only really tried a few times before deciding it wasnt worth the effort. If you dont use a subfolder then where do you put your manual?
They arent going after people who put stickers in illegal places, they are going after people whose stickers advertise illegal things. So yes, if you put up a sticker with the # of the neighborhood crack dealer then he SHOULD get in trouble.
I have no verbal agreement. The sum total of my verbal contact with my cable company is me calling them when I moved in and asking to have my cable activated. And, as to an assumed contract (which I think you just made up), it doesnt matter what THEY assume. I know I have no contract with them, just like many many other people (like GryMor a few posts up) dont have contracts with their cable companies, and when something isnt the norm theres no way it can be assumed. I also have no contract with my electric company or my phone company. I do, however, have a contract with my water company, because they require one to have service activated.
Ok, Im sorry, I forgot, this is/. where everyone has a head full of fucked up assumptions. Did your fairy godmother come to you and tell you that I signed something?
If you had bothered to read the article you would know that the #s are manually verified before the bombardment begins. A supervisor with the department in question actually calls the # to see exactly what the criminal in question is doing/selling.
The problem is not actually the actual weight of the paper, its the weight of the paper relative to the power of the vertical motor/prop. The blimp itself might be capable of lifting 20g (thats grams, not gravities) of payload but if you actually balance the ballast with that much payload in mind then as soon as you take the payload off the blimp will immediately stick to the ceiling, unable to pull itself down. The limitation on variable payload is entirely in the capacity of the vertical thrust. You could, in theory, have a variable payload limit almost equal to the vertical thrust and then balance the ballast so that with no payload full down-thrust just barely descends, and with a full payload full up-thrust just barely lifts, but that would be EXTREMELY wasteful of power/fuel (yes, you can build a blimp this small that runs on fuel powered motors). So, in practice, your payload is limited to just under the vertical thrust, so with no payload you have neutral buoyancy and with full payload it takes almost full thrust to maintain a hover.
Who enters into a contract with their cable company? I mean, possibly an understood but unspoken agreement, but a contract? I send them money each month, they dont turn my service off. Beyond that its pure consumer law, no contractual obligations involved.
How is that pricy? A carton of normal cigarettes costs about that, for 200 10-15 minute smokes. Total smoking time: about the same, if you are really slow with your cigarettes.
I'll take it. My last job paid $10K and I hated it. Ive been unemployed for a few months now (and cant get unemployment benefits because of Tennessee's new fucked up always-busy no-hold-queue telephone-filing-only unemployment system) and I would gladly move anywhere to do a job like this for $40K. I dont care how tedious it is. Right now my standards in looking for a job are >$6/hr and no manual labor, and nothing I can get within 30 miles fits those criteria. If you have a job that pays $40K and you dont like it, go whine somewhere else. The 70% of the population BELOW the national average of $30K/yr couldnt care less.
I think Independence War 2 uses this control scheme as well. Or perhaps Jumpgate? I dunno, I saw it in something recently. Its very nice because it allows you to continue turning without moving the mouse.
Limitations of a LAN? You could run a 64516 machine LAN with nothing but hubs if you really felt like it. It would be an insanely bad idea, but you COULD do it.
You make a solid block of something really dense that is as shatter-proof as we can make, like bulletproof glass or something (the kind that it takes an hour to get through with an axe). Then you stick it in the 'dirty' orbit and let all that garbage ram into it.
You have broken the DMCA. It makes it illegal to make or distribute methods or equipment for circumventing anything designed to control access to a copyrighted work, which is exactly what the satellite reciever box/system does.

you could actually bother to read the section containing this new clause and find the applicable legal definition of "location" very easily...

My cable company wants $50/mo for cable. I send them $50/mo and I get cable. What exactly am I stealing?

No, I am attaching MY vcr to MY cable outlet. The line from the pole to the house is theirs, everything past that is mine.

err, the "theory" part should have said "almost equal to DOUBLE the vertical thrust"
The problem is not actually the actual weight of the paper, its the weight of the paper relative to the power of the vertical motor/prop. The blimp itself might be capable of lifting 20g (thats grams, not gravities) of payload but if you actually balance the ballast with that much payload in mind then as soon as you take the payload off the blimp will immediately stick to the ceiling, unable to pull itself down.

So write your congressperson and support the BALANCE act, which amends the DMCA to make circumventing activation legal again!

Someone should have pointed out the first dozen times this exact same idea was done in a game. Maybe they would have gotten over it a decade ago.

You might not get it, but this really is on topic.
You make a solid block of something really dense that is as shatter-proof as we can make, like bulletproof glass or something (the kind that it takes an hour to get through with an axe). Then you stick it in the 'dirty' orbit and let all that garbage ram into it.
of course, you could always just sue Pepsi if you want a Harrier.
