Counting is perfectly legal. In fact, you can even announce to the dealer that the odds are tilted to in your favor and you are going to bet more. What's illegal is using a machine or any other contraption/help to come to that conclusion, however cheat sheets are perfectly legal. Hell, in most casinos a decent dealer will actually advise you on what to do on a per hand basis if they see you are a knuckle head. Of course, the flip side is that at anytime they can "ask" you to leave, or close the table down. So flaunting your card counting abilities isn't very wise unless you like to do a lot of walking between casinos.
Using some very simple rules you can easily slowly bleed the entire night away at blackjack and walk away with most of your money. More often then not the simple advice of 'assume the hidden card is a 10 and play to beat it' works fairly well. You won't lose your shirt, but you won't walk away with a heck of a lot either
Of course if you were in the business of doing calculations that only you could do on your one of a kind calculator and someone copied it then you may think differently as it affects your revenue stream. Especially if you spent years and millions of dollars in developing said calculator. The movie industry is a service industry. The service they provide is entertaining you for 2 hours. They invest heavily on their product and would like those who enjoy it to add to their revenue. Sound somewhat reasonable to me.
The litmus test is simple. How many would go up to some lowly camera guy or grip and boast to them about loving the movie they just worked on but rather than paying to see it downloaded it over the internet. Most people would do so with a little bit of nervousness or reservation, also called guilt. Of course, knowing this scenario will probably never happen means we can just ignore it all and enjoy stuff we used to have to pay for for free. Myself included, I'm hardly on a high horse here, just talking reality.
Then you paid 2% too much for it. The standard rate that a merchant must pay a CC company is 2% of sale. So he was willing to let go of the car for 2% less than he sold it.
Just look for the big butt. Otherwise there is more than enough electronic noise from the dozens of people around him using their phones and walkie talkies to track him.
I think they are trying to imply that Intel has the greatest chance of still being around and all the others can be viewed as vulnerable. Signing on with a company that may not be in business is probably not a good idea. Depending on your doom and gloom meter this may make some sense.
Lets not get carried away. Its not like the reporter was the first one on the scene. By the time they got there dozens of people have put there 2 cents in. Chances are the first one may have recognized it and said it was one of those 2 handed sword things from star trek. Then one of the officers ran to his KIT squad car and did a google and found out what it was. By the time they got to the second robery and the guy started to describe it someone upped and said, 'you mean it was a balteth thing from star trek?' and the clerk said, ya! just like that.
Of course they said it failed, because the outcry of people against doing it would be massive. I can hear them now, 'Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!', all the while denying the whole thing.
It seems to me that if Sony, Phillips, and all the other big audio/video vendors aren't funding an open source effort then they simply could care less about the licensing costs. If they don't care, why should I care? Afterall, they are the ones who have to pay for usage. Ask 99% of the people out there about audio/video/image licenses and they wouldn't know or even care about them. Completely transparent to the end user.
None of the products that you buy are priced directly by BOM costs. If Sony can save $1 in licensing costs if won't translate to you saving $1 on the price. Although I must admit Im a bit curious what they do pay. It probably comes out out pennies a unit, but that's just a guess.
No admin should touch it as it is an unreliabel PoS. I haven't used it in probably 10+ years, but I can remember it dropping things into never never land more often than I'd like to recall.
Why should MS be forced to do anything other than make other browsers usable on their OS as the default browser. As far as I have seen this has been working for years. Oh, occasionally I might run into something that does launch IE rather than my default, but it's so infrequent that I could care less and all this time and money being wasted requiring more is silly.
This means I'd have to interrupt my important conversation that I'm having in line and take the time to swipe my phone. I doubt all the people around me listening want me to be inconsiderate to the other person on the other end.
Windows problem over simplifies it as most of the Microsoft server versions correctly work with PAE. This was done on purpose for the desktop operating systems because they need some major differential between those and the more expense server versions. If they allowed for > 4G of memory then it would impact their server license sales. You may disagree with their decision, but to call it a problem is not 100% accurate.
If you're going to launch the most expensive war in history then perhaps make sure there are not gigantic questions surrounding what appears to be a poorly constructed false pretext as a reason for doing it.
Just a nitpick, but so far we'e spent less than 1/3rd of what we spent on WW2, for a war that has gone on longer and didn't have the buildup leading to. For example there were a lot of keels laid and other moneys appropriated prior to Dec 7 in anticipation of a war we knew wsa coming. In fact through 2007 we spent about the same we spent in Vietnam (all in 2007 adjusted $). Not to mention that in less than 6 months we've managed to hand out more money to corporations than we've spent on 7+ years of the war. Not arguing justification, just stating facts.
Suck it up. Trying to get ahead I took a summer Dif Eq course. Skipped town with the girlfriend because the last week was supposed to be review. Showed up to the final only to see everyone turning in their take home exams. Oops! My fault, didn't even argue the point. Money wasted. On the plus side I got a better grade second time around than I would have and the grade was replaced.
I think all you "abused" IT people should go to an actual abuse support group and tell them what a hard life you all have. You're all adults. If you don't like it, then grow a pair and don't put up with it. This is a bit like the old saying, 'you cant rape the willing'
I'm currently in the 100% tax bracket for anything over my income. You don't hear me bitching about it. Anyone making more than me is getting a tax break.
Do we really care? We did it to the Native Americans with less fanfare than this less than.0001% chance of it happening is receiving. Lets me real here. The odds are very heavily in favor that the planet is dead, or whatever 'life' there is on it is worthless to us. Not to open this book or worms, but we can aboirt a fetus, but don't want to kill some bacteria or microbes that probably don't exist anyway.
Lets have a little bit of perspective and not put some web sites being trashed in the same category as bombs and missiles flying around. The world could do with a little less drama and over statements. Honestly, its OK, you are still important.

And yet it had 0% impact on my life. So who really cares.
If the gloves don't fit, you must acquit.

Not if you have Ricky Bobby in the pits.

Forget classical music. What's going to happen to my next Gwar concert experience.

While a little bit over zealous and pompous, pretty much right on. Next we'll hear about how his roomate killed himself and he is receiving a 4.0.
