He changed the name to Fluff Buster Purity but also still markets it as F***B*** Purity, which is again a violation of Facebook's trademark, albeit a little more tenous
Tenuous is the understatement of the century. I am not a lawyer, but I find it hard to believe there is anything in trademark law that grants such broad rights (on any combination of two words with initials F and B). If it does, I guess Microsoft owns My Wiener.
And I am saying that since they are already doing us a favor, by acting as human lab rats, they should not have to pay a dime and society (the rest of us) should pick up the tab.
True, it's horrendously expensive. But that money pays for research, and that research will allow people to stay alive or even get cured a lot cheaper later.
So, you are saying that the only people who should pay for cancer research are the ones unfortunate enough to get it? Nice.
Family's insurance pays the $100k bill and no lawyers are involved.
My landlord had a car accident and needed about $7,000 worth of physical therapy. The insurance company refused to pay that until the lawyers got involved. I seriously doubt they would even consider paying $100k without going to court first.
As a Massachusetts resident I can attest to the fact the scheme you mentioned does nothing to lower the cost of health insurance, quite the opposite. It requires everyone to buy insurance or face fines, but does not regulate health insurance providers in any meaningful way. I wonder why Mitt "Magic Briefs" Romney stopped there and didn't just require every Mass resident to hand over their bank account to BlueCross and UnitedHealth
Civil War weapons were not accurate or long-range by modern standards, so the way to obtain high volumes of fire was by massed formations of troops. That didn't have anything to do with ethics, but everything to do with making the best use of (usually muzzle-loading) muskets and rifles.
Well, if that was the only reason they could have at least laid down in the grass while firing, instead of standing. Oh, and also not wear bright coloured coats.
No, because this is Canada, not the US. 70% of Canada's power generation is either hydro or nuclear. That figure is up to 89% in British Columbia. So, in Canada electric=clean indeed.
The hardware is amazing, and substantially more capable the the competition.
Capable of what? Being used as a hammer? You can only buy books from Amazon, PDF support is broken, doesn't read DJVU doesn't read DOC doesn't read RTF, doesn't read EPUB, the list goes on, and on, and on.
Sorry. When it comes to format support, nothing comes even close to the Astak EZReader. That thing reads anything under the sun. No support for.djvu is a deal breaker for me, as it means you cannot scan stuff and take it with you on the go.
I am using mine quite a lot. They served me admirably so far, and although that magic 40 is just a couple of years away, I am not even close to needing any replacement parts.
All the people I know who suffer from arthritis are over 70 and they are just as likely to have it in their wrists as they are to have it in the knees, so I doubt walking upright is a major cause of arthritis. I think it (arthritis) and old age just go hand in hand.
Forget about hips or knees (which are amazingly well suited for walking upright, by the way). Look at male nipples. There is nothing intelligent or "by design" about it. Unless we are talking about a very incompetent designer.
I know a bunch of people who cheated back in college on a regular basis and they are still going strong. Doesn't surprise me really, since getting ahead in life often hinges on gaining an (often unfair) advantage over the competitors.

Oh, no, she superpoked DickCheney!

How would you like to have and extra SIX THOUSAND dollars of disposable income every year?
I wouldn't like it at all, if the price is having no health care coverage.

Logic. Read it. Live it.
well, secret arrests are marginally better than lynching.
they were violating several city laws that require that 40% of residential yards to be landscaped predominantly with live plants.
Maybe theirs is one of the 60% that don't have to be landscaped with live plants.
Yes. It's called Google Scholar
If so, then it will be ready when pigs reach low Earth orbit. However, I think they are going for cheap and fast.
I think he is thinking of the Berne convention, since this discussion is supposed to be about copyright law.
So, yes, SpaceX Falcon9 + Dragon is cheap.
Cheap, fast, safe: pick any two.

When I was laid off from my old job I was offered COBRA at $1500 a month. Gee, thanks. how am I supposed to cover that without an income?

Oh, yeah, the Daily Mail. The pinnacle of peer reviewed publishing, the hallmark of accuracy :-)
What experence teachs you is when you need to use a hash vs a btree.
Actually, school teaches you that. If it didn't, you were not paying attention in class.

arthritis is not merely pathology of modern lifestyles.[5]
Neither is it a pathology of bipedalism. Ask anyone who has an old dog.
