How? This is relevant to my interests. I was arrested for having a valid ID from the wrong state recently and the charges were dropped before I got to the judge.
My guess is: By paying a lawyer. In the future, you can ask google directly, (arrest record expunged) is what I searched for to get that FAQ.
what if making that sammich took you several weeks' (months? years?) of work, as is probably the case with most musical compositions?
How do I protect my recipe? A mere listing of ingredients is not protected under copyright law. However, where a recipe or formula is accompanied by substantial literary expression in the form of an explanation or directions, or when there is a collection of recipes as in a cookbook, there may be a basis for copyright protection. Note that if you have secret ingredients to a recipe that you do not wish to be revealed, you should not submit your recipe for registration, because applications and deposit copies are public records. See FL 122, Recipes.
the teenager was apparently offering his work for "trade" (whatever that might mean), which actually does not fit quite so conveniently with the image of a struggling artist in need of sheet music.
"I'll trade you this sheet music for more sheet music."
All getting arrested will do is (a) cost you a shitload of money and time which you will not get back in full, and (b) eventually get you lynched by the surrounding crowd if you give the "authorities" trouble.
Lots of people have lots of time right now. It doesn't have to cost you any money.
I can't think of any possible arrest scenario that doesn't cost you any money.
Spot on! This is exactly the way to deal with this. Test it, get arrested, document the whole process and manage to be professional enough about it so you arise the interest of main media journalists, PBS, BBC, etc. Expose, just like they do here, underlying causes, like top security acknowledging of the rights, and private security and local police involved in arbitrary and erratic behavior.
The result: big public embarrassment for those involved, instigating fear of the same for like-minded small-time tyrants doing this everywhere.
This is a job of public education and the two photographers involved here are doing the right, appropriate and efficient thing about it. My hat to them!
The only bullshit part of it is that the fact you were arrested shows up on any criminal background check. It's the kind of thing that could deny you employment in the future. Sure, you can explain why the arrest happened, and most management types will listen to your explanation and decide "he's an activist troublemaker who might rock the boat, a loose cannon" and throw your application in the trash. Of course it's unjust.
It's bullshit because a criminal background check should never show arrests. It should show convictions only.
You can get your record purged of non-conviction arrests after a few months. I'm no law-talking-guy, but if you're ever arrested for bullshit charges that later get thrown out, remember that you can get the arrest record wiped clean.
You also find that windows users try to use macos (or linux) as if it was windows
The opposite is also true: I get frustrated with windows often, knowing I could accomplish the same task so much easier on a mac. I take a deep breath, accept that things aren't the way I wish they were, and adapt. But I'm still annoyed to begin with. But that's not an IT issue, cooks are the same about their kitchens.
There are a few things different about Mac which I find annoying:
- Can't find a program that plays videos at 2x speed without making everyone sound like chipmunks
What... what do you expect x2 audio to sound like?:S
- Can't run Internet Exploder (not that I would want to... just saying)
So... microsoft stopped support a couple years back? Boohoo: And nothing of value was lost.
- Can't find any decent emulators for Atari or C=64 or Super Nintendo gaming
Well fuck, just emulate whatever works at emulating these old games.
- - Doesn't have a convenient start menu to quickly-and-easily access all my programs.
I have an Applications button on all my Finder windows, takes me straight to the list of applications, ordered and displayed according to my preferences. It serves the same purpose as the button you claim does not exists, but does it better.
- Doesn't have a task manager to adjust priorities or kill programs (at least not that I'm aware of)
Terminal. Unixy goodness, man, can't beat that.
- And at one point didn't have a right button menu, but of course that's been fixed now that Apple stopped clinging to the one-button mouse
The fuck? At one point... in 1986??? You dislike Macs for something that existed in the past? Dude, windows SUCKS: "You can't have more than 256k of RAM! But of course that's been fixed now that Microsoft stopped clinging to the one-byte RAM addresses."
Seriously: Live in the now.
If Honda came-out with a car where the turn signals were on the floor
They would not be allowed to drive on public roads because that would violate all established safety standards.
I silently demonstrated the proper use of "command-O" and "command-arrowDown"
Neither of which is very intuitive, but memorized key-combos are sure useful.
The problem is, that the perceived need to make interfaces more "intuitive" has also made them slower to use for those of us that don't mind learning a few shortcuts.
And don't forget that people confuse "intuitive" with "already learned". The Windows way isn't any more intuitive, but people who have learned that way a long time ago tend to say it's intuitive (in fact that happened in the anecdote I was already talking about, come to think of it).
I bet if they switched from their Windows software to a Mac OS software, they'd experience similar results. It's inevitable that when you jump from one style to another style, you'll experience some slowdown in the work.
Nope, not that much of a difference between mac and PC versions of Desktop publishing software. I use both nightly at work... and I work at a newspaper.
I've seen Windows people try to use a mac and get angry and frustrated, saying macs are stupid because files don't open when they select them and press enter, and that it's stupid for an OS to require that you use the mouse to open a file, and it's all stupid. I silently demonstrated the proper use of "command-O" and "command-arrowDown" to teach them that stupid is as stupid does, but they were still very frustrated that it wasn't exactly the same as on Windows, said it was stupid not to copy the most popular software in every way.
Point is: Change makes people confused and angry. You're used to both systems, and possibly *NIXes too, so you can't even imagine being so utterly gobsmacked by something as simple as having different commands for tasks, but for most people... iiiish, most people are... they're not... they suck.
Wow. You'd think somebody would've figured out something like this a long time ago.
But since merely gazing at youTube comments lowers your IQ by at least 20 points, I'm actually amazed someone found it. Must have used some of kind of proxy who looked at it, got dumber for it, but managed to pass along the code to someone who could look at it without being exposed to the dumb.
Pff. So let's recap, you yourself said that polar bear populations were directly related to ring seals, and I demonstrated that indigenous human populations considered ring seals a primary food source (and polar bears and everything the two ate as secondary food sources), and you don't think that impact is relevant
Industrial scale activity does not have the same impact as a few tribes of hunter-gatherers. It's not in the same order of magnitude, not even close.
You're a retard or a hypocrite for pretending that hunter-gatherer populations that had been living for thousands of years at the site had the same impact as industrial activity had over the last couple hundred years; I'm not interested in the willfully ignorant, idiotic bullshit that you spew: fuck off and die in a fire, you worthless piece of shit.
There's a leaked picture of the designs Microsoft will use to display that information. The colored triangles are a great way to convey information readable at a distance.
Rumor is Microsoft is cutting expenses on that project by recycling IBM code from the 1940s designed for a government client that wanted to track public health.
the "right to bear arms" is one of the most abused statutes in the Constitution. It was put there to address a practical problem - [...] a people's uprising against the military
I think it was put there because, in Europe, only the Nobility was allowed to keep and bear arms; commoners were not. If all men are created equal, the right to keep and bear arms has to be universal, not limited to an elite.
It may surprise you to learn that human populations are not new to the arctic, and while the guns are, you can bet that the Inuit were eating both animals regardless
You're a fool if you think the inuits were having a comparable impact 10 000 years ago as we've had in the lat century.
How then was the even hotter Holocene climate maximum/optimum possible?
The Earth's axis completes one full cycle of precession approximately every 26,000 years. At the same time, the elliptical orbit rotates, more slowly, leading to a 21,000-year cycle between the seasons and the orbit. In addition, the angle between Earth's rotational axis and the normal to the plane of its orbit moves from 22.1 degrees to 24.5 degrees and back again on a 41,000-year cycle; currently, this angle is 23.44 degrees and is decreasing.
If polar bears etc. are supposed to be in such danger, why didn't they die off then?
The relationship between ringed seals and polar bears is so close that the abundance of ringed seals in some areas appears to regulate the density of polar bears, while polar bear predation in turn, regulates density and reproductive success of ringed seals.
Back then, their food supply wasn't depleted by humans, and they were not shot by humans with guns when displaced from their previous habitat as they are now.
We are talking about a metaphorical mountain, which is an image we conjure up to give a sense of scale to the overwhelming amount of data there is, we are definitely not talking about a literal landmass that projects conspicuously above its surroundings and is higher than a hill.
Perhaps you are under-estimating how much evidence there really is. If you were to print it off, you probably COULD climb it AND have a picnic on it.
Perhaps you should read the definition of literal (adhering to fact or to the ordinary construction or primary meaning of a term or expression; free from exaggeration or embellishment; characterized by a concern mainly with facts).
when you say "If you were to print it...", you are proving that you know for a fact that there is no literal mountain of evidence. If there was a literal mountain of evidence, you would have said "When they printed it..." and you could tell me where this literal mountain is actually located. If the mountain cannot be seen or touched or measured in the physical world we call "meatspace", it is not a literal mountain.
Creationists, climate change deniers, the tobacco industry... they all use the same arguments. You can go through The Fine Art of Baloney Detection and find the examples right to hand.
At least the tobacco industry has mostly given up claiming smoking isn't bad for you. Now their shills are working for the climate change deniers. Yes, it's the same shills.

Really, copyright debate boils down to free-loaders demanding free access to everything, and copyright holders demanding restrictions on everything.
And the copyright holders are freeloaders too: They take from the public domain but refuse to give anything back.
Make art for art's sake.
But I'm hungry, and there's holes in my the soles of my shoes :(

(remember the Sarin Gas attack on the Tokyo subway, the Madrid bombs and the London Underground bombs, all 3 were terror attacks on transit systems)
And none required taking pictures before hand: Put bomb in bag, get in middle of crowd, go boom.

Is that rethorical ?
