A calorie is a unit of energy. Fiber may flush chemical energy out of the system before it has a chance to be broken down and harvested by the digestive system.
doesn't selling a license to a song as a ringtone imply the right to use the ring tone without paying each time?
--
The problem is that it's not ASCAP who sold you the ringtone. The carrier that sold it to you has no authority to grant you rights to public performance of that ringtone.
What ASCAP wants is to get a piece of the money from the sale^H^H^H^H licensing of that ringtone.
No, they probably can't just "back out of it", but if it really gets that bad for them, they can probably throw enough money at her to convince her to settle. Better that (for them) than to get kicked out of the courtrooms completely.
Here's hoping she and her lawyers stick it to the RIAA instead of accepting a life of luxury on their tab. But quite frankly... I know which one most people would choose, and it's not the one that would be beneficial to the rest of society.
Those are not free. Those are paid for by the advertisers in the yellow pages.... Your own words show that the product is not free. It is paid for by advertisers.
The police are legally required to fill the lineup with people (or in this case, maybe I should say entities) that match the verbal description given by the witness. If the witness described "a bodyless set of human organs", first of all the police would need to find several sets for the lineup, and second... how the heck are you going to distinguish between them? (Assuming, of course, no major coloration differences like smoker lungs or something.) I'd think that you'd be concerned enough about being attacked by a disembodied brain that you wouldn't have the presence of mind (ha!) to memorize its noodle pattern.
What if I do a dd on my drives, throw them out, some dumpster diver picks them up, uses it for kiddie porn, then forgets about the drive. 5 years from now, someone happens to find the drive, gives it to the FBI, the technology advances to the point where they can somehow recover my TurboTax documents that were supposed to be deleted but actually weren't. They will come knocking on my door, take me down for questioning, and my reputation is ruined.
Wow. Really wow. That is possibly the most paranoid comment I have ever read on an online forum. Ever. And that's saying something.
Why do you need a laptop instead of a desktop?

Computer For a Child?

· Score: 1
About a year ago (when my kid was 2.5), I set him up with a little desktop (old machine, actually, when I upgraded mine). I through Ubuntu on it and loaded it up with educational games.
He would play on it sometimes with me or my wife, but now frequently he turns it on himself and starts playing puzzle / reading games. He loves it! He's starting to read now (only very simple words, of course) and is moving on to more advanced reading games.
And yes, we read to him for at least an hour a day too. Letting a kid use a computer is not bad parenting, unless you're just trying to shut him up. And for that, a TV is much easier, cheaper, and has less potential for interactive learning. (Sheesh! There's a lot of flames on that score here today. Won't somebody remember the couch potato children?)
Kind of difficult when your copyright takes the form of a Creative Commons license...
No, no, no. Ownership of copyright is fundamentally and completely separate from terms of licensing. If you own the copyright of a work, you can license it however you want. If the site in question required that media donors verify ownership of the copyright for the donated media, then that would mean that only the copyright owner is allowed to submit media.
Licensing something under Creative Commons does not transfer the copyright to the public at large, it just grants certain rights to usage to the public at large. I thought that this audience in particular would understand the difference.

It's been estimated that 120 billion people have ever lived on the earth. Since 6 billion of them are alive now, ...
Only 95% of all humans EVER have died. That means that just going by that statistic (and not its context), I have a 5% chance of never dying.

but my printer only supported A4
So make your document on A4 and print it on A3 at 141%
How do you print on A3 at 141% if your printer only supports A4?
As long as you've got the code all written ... how about running it in base 6 or something?

Well, duh. But they are free to the recipient.
He tried to charge them $50/hr for 40 hours. That's $2000, not $50.

So the best way to make sure you'll still be not only hirable, but desirable?

Just you wait. You'll be eating your words when it happens! Then you'll see!! Then he'll be vindicated! Muwhahahahaha!
I can tell you're not really from the future. Any legitimate timetraveler would know that it's all about the modified photon torpedos.
Copy pasta. That has to be the single coolest term I've heard all year. Thank you wastedlife.
Guns don't kill people.
Bullets kill people.
We would need at least 100 cases to get meaningful data.
How many brains come in a case?
(Obvious answers, to preclude some of you smart-alecks out there:

422 users, not uses
Surely you can understand his confusion though; on that side of the pond they don't pronounce the "r" in "users".
I am an expert and am willing to testify that Wifi is bad for your health. Now whom do I speak to to get some hush money?
Well, Windows 2000 was NT 5.0. XP was NT 5.1 (basically 2000 with a prettier interface and more wizards). This is not a new thing for Microsoft.
Yes, but it's also in their interest to maximize the number of traffic tickets, because then they can justify raising your rates exorbitantly.
I'd rather have a $200 ticket than a $35/month increase in insurance for the next 5 years.>

Yeah. Now just imagine a nanotube laser! That's probably what modified photon torpedos are made out of.
the average American is as smart as a radish
You know how dumb the average person is, right?
Well, by definition, half of them are even dumber than that.

13.4 percent showed fraud and 7.3 percent showed technical violations, for an overall violation rate of 20.7 percent.
That's only accurate if there's NO overlap between fraud and technical violations. I'd expect the overall rate to be significantly lower.
That said, however, ... that's still a large percentage.
