There's serious debate about the theory of relativity, the standard model, and hell, the evolution of species, but there's no serious debate about anthropological global warming? Doesn't sound like science to me.
If you write your recipe as some creative prose, then sure, you can copyright that, the same as any creative prose.
But when I come along and see your prose and say "man that's pointless, here's a mere list of ingredients and some straight forward instructions" there's nothing you can do about it. Copyright doesn't prevent me from making a recipe of your prose, and copyright does not protect recipes.
at its finest. "This is plagiarism!!" No it's not, you tool, it's conversation. Your attitude is exactly what is wrong with the world copyright has built. You don't own that idea, it belongs to the ages.
I upgraded my ticket at a kiosk for a flight. I love the $75 upgrades.:)
You're the reason why the rest of us get spammed repeatedly by salesmen both in the terminal and on the flight to "upgrade" to a seat that is virtually identical to the one we're in.
And you continue to show your ignorance of how fucking hard it is to take down an airplane with a bomb.. but hey, the TSA needs idiots like you to support their job program.
There's always one. "Hey everyone, I'm so stupid that I don't even understand how to keep my stupidity a secret."
Ok, I'll try to explain this really simply to you.
1. There's more people in line at the checkpoints than there is on a single plane because there's more than one plane at the airport and the checkpoints take so god damn long. 2. The mythical* terrorists can make those lines even longer just by sending people in to fool around at the checkpoint. 3. People are made of squishy stuff, and are therefore easy to explode. 4. Planes are made of metal which is much stronger than people, so they are harder to explode. And before you mention fuel, the fuel is inside the metal. 5. There's no checkpoints to get to the checkpoints, so it's easier to attack the big mass of people before the checkpoint than it is to attack the small masses of people after the checkpoint.
* All of this is so damn obvious that the only sensible conclusion is that there are no terrorists trying to blow up airports in the US. Further evidence of this is that, in countries that actually have suicide bombings, attacking checkpoints is exactly the strategy they use and, as such, checkpoints are designed to keep people moving through them as fast as possible.
Go to Officeworks, still half of their ASUS netbooks are Linux based. When the lovely sales assistant starts telling you about the evils of Linux, assure him you know what you're doing and head to the counter.
Even then they only have very low specs.
That's the point of a netbook.. and the reason why Linux is so popular on them.
Of course, you'll probably want to nuke the "linux" on them and put Ubuntu on it.
I went to a university that only forced me to do 2 classes that I didn't choose myself: calculus, and technical writing. After completing those two classes I understood why they forced me to do them.
You probably care about the subjects you're taking, unlike 90% of students who are just there to jump through the necessary hoops to get the necessary qualifications so they can be mediocre workers.
If you can afford a $70k electric vehicle (or whatever Tesla things are going for nowadays), you qualify as being caught up in the "green fad" in my book... in more than one way, too.
Ahh, another poor fool who thinks Tesla is about the environment. Hint: its a sports car with instant acceleration.
I dunno where you got the idea that Peta cares about there being less animals in the world..
They believe it is ethically wrong to slaughter animals for food - and, in fact, that's the more extreme members, most members are just against the cruel slaughter of animals and think it can be done ethically - they don't care about reducing the total number.. depending on who you talk to you'll even hear how the mass farming of livestock is having a terrible impact on the environment.
Ruling out some kind of vegetarian theocracy, that's not how economics works.
Butchers sell sausages, most of which are cheap and tasty. Why do they do this? After all, how are they going to sell those expensive Wagu steaks if there's cheap sausages available in the same display cabinet. Are butchers just stupid? Clearly not. It's called growing the market. People who can't afford expensive steak don't go become vegetarians and never step into a butchers, they eat the cheaper meat, and on occasion they splurge on steak. A "cheaper than sausages" artificial meat will have the same effect.. for a start, people with ethical considerations will now be eating meat.. some of those people will lose those ethical considerations later in life and be tempted to sample the more expensive meat varieties.

There's no serious debate about those numbers.
And that's the problem right there.
There's serious debate about the theory of relativity, the standard model, and hell, the evolution of species, but there's no serious debate about anthropological global warming? Doesn't sound like science to me.
ahh, famous last words.
Pa, either put your money where your mouth is or shut it.
Don't go around crying about what laws someone may or may not have broken. Talk to your lawyer, find out if you have a claim, and act on it.
Airing your dirty laundry in public does nothing but weaken the cause.
Shit Bruce,
Sue them or STFU.
Agreed. And I recommend telling him that. If he fires you, no loss, you shouldn't wanna work with such a retard anyway.
My response to such a request would be to say "fuck you, I'll do what I want" and if they want to fire me then so be it.

You can't copyright recipes, and anything can be regarded as a trade secret.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

B&N have priced their ebook reader at exactly the same price as Amazon's. It would seem price fixing has already begun.

Who are these people who read textbooks in direct sunlight?
And if you're such an advocate of sunlight, what are you doing posting on Slashdot?

They prefer the term "early adopters" and without them we wouldn't see half the new risky products that appear on the market.
