These kits are really nice. Basically one of those old Radio Shack XXX-in-1 electronics kits with lego building simplicity. I have a couple of them (the 300 kit and the advanced rover) at home.
In all fairness, if he would have managed to miss it they would not have a nice name to hang on the bill, possibly making a bit harder to pass without the sympathy votes as cover.
Yes, it still would have passed. Disney demanded it.
Actually, mp3.com ripped a load of commercial CD's and kept them on a server. The subscriber would place a commercial CD into their computer, which would fingerprint it to verify ownership and allow the user to stream/download the pre-ripped mp3's (it's been a while, I forgot which one they did).
They lost, because while it was fair use for the end user to rip their own CD themselves, it was somehow a copyright violation to have/hire a 3rd party do it for them.
Look at this hypothetical situation, and it is hypothetical, I'm not saying it's you:
Someone does not want to pay for insurance because they view it as a waste of money. Then, one day their tooth starts to hurt and it looks like it may need a root canal.
So they call and sign up for dental insurance and with the $96/year plan, they go ahead and get a $1500 (or whatever the cost) procedure done. Then cancel at the earliest convenience and wait until the next problem to sign up again.
Insurance companies won't stay in business very long with that kind of business plan. The waiting period is to make sure healthy people buy in, not people who (for one reason or another) wait until they have a problem then look for coverage.
Do honest people get screwed by this? Yes, they do.
It is illegal. Remember mp3.com? They were planning on rolling out a service where they pre-ripped MP3's and if you subscribed to their service, you inserted a CD, it took a fingerprint, matched it up with the pre-ripped tracks and offered them for download.
The courts found that having a 3rd party copy the data for you was not fair use. See UMG v MP3.COM (2nd paragraph):... the court drew a distinction between time shifting and space shifting, which had previously been allowed, and "virtual" space shifting as practiced by My.MP3.com. Before accessing a song from MP3.comâ(TM)s servers, a subscriber first had to âoeproveâ that he already owned the CD by placing his copy of the commercial CD into his computerâ(TM)s CD-ROM drive for several seconds or by purchasing the CD from one of defendantâ(TM)s cooperating online retailers. Id. However, it was MP3.com doing the copying from the CDs onto their servers, and the court found this copying not a fair use.
The governor, the legislature, and the unions have all but given up on the electorate now that the polls show no one is in favor of increasing taxes yet again.
Here's a great quote: "Go get a deal done," said David Kieffer, executive director of the state council of the influential Service Employees International Union, in a challenge to Brown and the Legislature. Californians "would vote the taxes down," he said, and "they don't actually need to be involved in this decision."
Remember Dubya's "free speech zones" that were a mile or more from where he was giving a speech, and the protesters were herded into these areas, nowhere near the media or the president?
Why mention just Bush? The DNC had some real nice ones that were essentially cages made from chainlink.
I had a NeXT Turbocolor running: a DreamBox (Mac HW emulator), running UAE, and running some Amiga DOS emulator I fail to remember the name of, then running Gorillas in QBASIC.
Let's take an example from my personal experience:
Back in the 80's, I had a family member who was diagnosed with an aggresive cancer and was on their deathbed.
The Red Cross managed to get me leave from USMC boot camp and ponied up airfare to get me home and back to the service afterwards.
When I asked the RC representative how much I owed them on the way out (I assumed this was some sort of emergency loan) and they said there was no obligation on my part to pay them back anything.
When I got back from the funeral, I knew how much the tickets had cost them and met up with the same representative to give thanks. I paid them back double what they spent on me and I was very impressed by all that they did for us.
Actually, the glitching that opened a hole in the system was done first through OtherOS. Removal of that feature by Sony was done as a knee-jerk response after the exploit was made public.
The storm of users trying to crack the system wide open was inevitable after that point, the removal of OtherOS was just a catalyst to speed things up a bit by pissing off the userbase.
I realize that a lot of people on the right have a hard time understanding things, but President Bush got 6 years of softball questions from the press, nearly a full year before anybody blamed him for anything.
Whaaaat?
Bush was attacked, by just about everyone, ever since that incident with the ballot counting in Florida. That was before he even took office. This continued up until 9/11 when the press was berating him for acting clueless in a classroom reading a book about a goat while the towers were falling. He only enjoyed the support of the press and the majority of the public after the speech he made shortly after 9/11 when the country was reeling and looked to him for some sort of guidance. This continued up until the Saddam government was toppled - because up until then, we were winning and everyone loves a winner.
Then came "Mission Accomplished" and everything went back to the way things were again.
I can't shop for iphone apps elsewhere. I can even make iphone apps and sell them directly to consumers.
Sure you can. Cydia is there for the jailbreaking community. As for the second sentence, I assume you meant "can't". Actually, you can. Quite easily.
Buy a developer's license. With that license, you have the option to distribute, ad-hoc, up to 100 users. You will have to handle the hosting, marketing, and transactions. But it can be done, and you can release anything you please - be it useful, controversial, salacious or illegal. Once you reach the 100 user limit, just get another developer cert.
Yeah, but they are death row inmates and inherently dangerous. We could do this, but how do we know they won't escape once they are turned loose on Mars?
They could become like that guy in the Heinlein novel and then we'll really be screwed.
Which is precisely why I passed on FO:NV. I really loved FO3, enough to get gut it out until I got a Platinum trophy. But after being suckered into the expansion packs, my character is now unplayable. The game just restores from a save into a majorly slowed-down state and locks up a few seconds later.
I was only able to complete two of the three, but the Bayou remains uncompleted due to bugs.
Since the problems are so well reported and with many complaints, there is no way the developer does not know about them. So this means they simply do not care.
ATK also has expertise in time travel? The Challenger was lost in 1986. ATK purchased Morton-Thiokol in 2001. Also, the Roger's Commission stated that Nasa managers knew about the problems with the O-rings and overrode engineers' warnings which lead to the disaster. All this info is out there, so why spread disinformation?

Who was responsible?
Sonny Bono - or the tree. Take your pick.

She shrunk once before during the "Oprah Diet".
Somehow we all survived that. Later, she seemed to recover all the loss just fine... and then some.
I have to ask:
Was there a "Right turn, Clyde" reference in this movie?

You make me regret lurking for nearly a year before signing up here...
Just by coincidence I am wearing my "Flintstone" watch instead of one of my analogs. Well actually this one *is* truly analog:
A Fossil sundial watch.

That's what is ruining this state.
Why mention just Bush? The DNC had some real nice ones that were essentially cages made from chainlink.
Expect a lot of them at the upcoming election.
I had a NeXT Turbocolor running:
a DreamBox (Mac HW emulator), running UAE, and running some Amiga DOS emulator I fail to remember the name of, then running Gorillas in QBASIC.
Why not blame him?
He was in charge, and therefore responsible for the actions of his underlings.
Let's take an example from my personal experience:

No, but it is a form of DRM, state-of-the-art at the time.

So no FO:NV for me.
Via's Pico ITX platform (Artigo A1000, PX1000G) for one. It also uses the damn hard to find 64x16 SODIMM chip configuration too.
