If it's up front and the bidder identifies him/herself as a such, it should be O.K. What borders on fraud is the possibly deviant nature of the bidding. I only see this tactic as a way to artificially increase the potential value of a domain. I have no pity for domain speculation or domain squatters. This will certainly be bad for Godaddy's reputation.
i should be thinking "how can i prey on stupidity and fear of authority" Bill Gates may also have some pointers for you.
If I was this Toronto company I would get a Canadian judge to reverse the decision, issue an injunction against the FTC to butt out of my business and order payment of damages by the U.S. government for loss of reputation and loss of business. Let get this into the international trade tribunal's hands.
Not really. I would only rent and watch a movie once. If I want to watch it twice then I would purchase a permanent version. The net result is the same. BTW where did all those "permanent" VHS tapes go?
Maybe I'm missing something but doesn't everything mass produced eventually ends up in landfills? This includes all the regular DVDs produced. Think 78 rpm records and soon 33 rpms. So disposable DVDs are no better or worse than regular ones if you look at it over a 100-200 year time frame.
This is simply a question of cross dimensional symmetries. Unfortunately we can only see particles in four dimensions. The observable component of the entangled particle - what would allow FTL transmissions - is not accessible from here. The insteresting point with symmetries is that parts may lie in more than one dimension simultaneously. This might be a key in order to access/probe other dimensions. Thankfully, for the moment, we can at least build and cross bridges over water. Them poor two dimensional beings are still having a hard time with that.
I would really interested in some speculations here: if all life is wiped-out on earth, I mean no dna left at all anywhere. If the planet, presumably being in just the "right" place in the solar system, could spontaneously repopulate itself in 2-3 billion years? Let's assume that the sun would not vary in temperature over that period. If the answer is generally yes, then why don't we see more evidence of "intelligent" life elsewhere in the galaxy?
Having a MySpace page is much the same as having an old fashioned vanity website. Vanity has been around for millenia. MySpace et al are just exploiting it.
Spammers are new with advent of the inbox, they are everywhere and are just plain rude.
I am not an economist but the way I see things, it's actually a pro-capitalism act to purchase goods made in China (or other emerging economies). It ultimately leads to better salaries, higher standards of living, better working conditions, etc. for the Chinese. Even, maybe human rights. Over time it will balance out and force the country to become more competitive through technology and other means, as it will not be able to rely only on the fact that labour is cheaper there or because they are not doing their ecological/environmental share. Japan, South Korea are probably a examples of this type of successful transition.
0. Should they even be considered a criminal in the first place ? Some wise person whose name eludes me once said - paraphrasing: "Do governments create legislation as a way to increase control on it's population or to actually maintain social peace?"
Getting a $100-$200 ticket for burning a red light(which can kill) vs a $750 fine per song for downloading "illegal" MP3s (which doesn't kill anyone) seems rather unfair.
Nothing else has DNA unless it's alive or once was alive. I am not a biologist but these apparently big differences you see are really not that big. It eats, breathes, reproduces - in different ways granted but these activities are a must in order for a species to exist.
Can we then agree that if there is life out there, it probably needs DNA? If you do, then the combinations might be quite varied but still in the realm of what we have here on Earth. If you don't agree then we might be getting into the metaphysical and that's, well..., freaky stuff.
What makes you think life forms entirely alien to earth will even have heads? Starfish have no heads, jellyfish have no heads. Let's say matter in our universe has an been evenly distributed, then what we see around us is typical of what one would find 10 megaparsecs away or anywhere else in the universe. This means that life as we see it on Earth is probably typical of what you will find elsewhere should there be life at all. Otherwise we become somewhat special which would be rather surprising since everything around us is apparently quite ordinary.
For one, if you eat a well balanced meal you don't need supplements - see my OP last sentence. Congratulations if you do already. Otherwise, look-up vitamin B12 and DHA deficiency.
Let's extend this to the fact that I also drive my own car. Press my own buttons in the elevator. Shine my own shoes. Pick my own wife. Sell my own house. Raise my own children. Type my own letters. Write my own code.
With all those responsibilities, no wonder we're so stressed. I'm will to wager there's a link to all those prescribed antidepressants. Did we make a wrong turn somewhere?
Let's be clear here, there's no such thing as a "meat" replacement. It's just like asking for a replacement for air. Humans and many animals need meat as much as air. It's a simple biological fact. Those who don't eat meat require supplements for DHA, vitamin B12 or other nutrients in non-meat products. Obviously, today this is not a problem if you eat well balanced meals but let's not confuse biology with ideology.
Some of us were born with the anti-creationist gene and some of us were not. So how can you blame either one, as doing so equates to either denying the creationist's view that God never interferes, giving us humans the right to free-choice or blaming someone for being born with a particular set of genes.
Personally I tend to believe the article since it's impossible to prove that if ALL live was completely wiped out from the earth today that it would in fact return spontaneously. Even if the planet is in an ideal position in the solar system.
Yep, got me one of those home fission reactor. I couldn't afford the fusion one but I hear they're going on sale at Canadian Tire next month. I think people don't bother with the boxes because they're frekn heavy. Must be all that lead. My back was getting sore but you should see the muscles on the Purolator guy.
Simple enough, if 99.9999% of the traffic is for "illegal" sharing, then make it legal and collect a tax. Pay off the media producers and problem solved. Everyone wins.
"House for sale, slightly contaminated, unbeatable value, no neighbours. Great for retired couple with no children. - Contact Mr. Curie, Radioactive Realtors."
Thank goodness we have Tim Hortons here in Canada where a Small is a small, a Medium is a medium, a Large is a large and an Extra-large is, you guessed it, an extra-large.
No they don't have wireless but they do have great coffee.
So if I understand all this, it would appear that dark matter came out of grey matter.
I had this idea that if you take the early universe, place it in a top loading washer and set the dial to spin, then press start, wouldn't you get accelerating expansion? I just Googled this an apparently it's an old idea. Of course, you need a extra-dimensional washer but I'll leave string/brane theory to explain all this. Fits in well with bubble/suds universes too.
IANAP but based on the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, as you move thought any of the 4 dimensions, there is a split in an infinite number of parallel universes that takes place. This means your Self "dies" at each infinitesimal moment to be reborn in another. See quantum suicide. So to me, it doesn't matter if move from one point to another through teleportation or through plain old movement, the effect is the same. You just have to ensure entropy is maintained throughout the "movement."
It would appear that you might be intolerant to soy or even have an allergy . Should allergies be blamed on the allergen or on the immune system's inability to distinguish a real threat? Personally, I am intolerant to several fruits: apples, pears, cherries and fennel to name a few. I can only have a bite, any more will put me in bed. I think labelling should be as accurate as possible to at least help identify potential allergens.

Having being in business, I learned never to underestimate collective ignorance. It drives the economy.

DNA baby... It's all about the DNA.

The PinPad connector on the back of the disk is probably a clue on how it gets it's key.

Another great way to reduce property value.
