Now Star Wars fans get to experience what Star Trek fans have been feeling for decades... Your favorite performers in your favorite roles are mortal. Sure, your character might get a Genesis resurrection, or turn into a Force Ghost, but eventually, the actors die. Then the copyright holders get to screw with your favorite memories by remaking your favorite films with completely different actors. It's worse than Life Day.
If you can rent botnets, then maybe that would be useful to large corporations who do not want to be DDOSed. They rent the botnet, then don't use it. That way, those millions of bots aren't being used to attack their site.
This also works if you purchase a gift card. It needs to be authorized by an employee.
But if you don't want to use the self-checkout at the supermarket, that's fine by me. I get through the checkout 4 times faster than you because there is one line feeding 4 registers. If you're looking for the shortest line, be sure to divide the self-checkout line length by the number of kiosks.
When I saw "Star Trek: Nemesis" in the theater, there was a man sitting right behind me who had a cold, and would cough every 30 seconds through the whole movie. I wish I could say that ruined the movie for me...
Theaters would have to offer something *REALLY* special to get patrons to go there. You have overpriced snacks, obnoxious patrons who seem to think a movie is a 2-way communication medium, loud/crying children, annoying teenagers, atomic powered air conditioning, interrupting cell phones, only one armrest, and a lottery ticket for you to get shot.
The "movie theater experience" is really losing its ability to outweigh all that.
EVERYBODY should do that! Unless you want all your paper and ink/toner used up by random people printing penises on your printer, for God's sake, DON'T let the internet have access to it!
When has an intern done any actual productive work? Every place I worked, the interns were always assigned the most menial, busywork tasks that we could come up with.
You gotta hand it to the guy for negotiating for the rights to the software. He kinda was *TRYING* to do the right thing by making sure he had the proper rights to the software (presumably before he sold it himself). A more unscrupulous man might just have stolen the software and used it to start his own business without any notification at all.

They still wouldn't have been able to help in the case in the article. The best they could do is try to get the TV replaced under warranty.

How about this:
"Why are browsers so slow to reopen 100 tabs?"
"Because you're using it wrong, dummy! Stop doing that!"
"van der Meer had the unfortunate pleasure of having his phone stolen while having launch in Amsterdam."
You really got to watch out for that... Having Launch. That's what sent Bob Denver into space.
The guy's name is Chumley. I immediately imagine that he is a cartoon walrus.

"Some of it we will do in a way that they will know, but not everybody will,"
Well, NOT IF YOU TELL THE MEDIA ABOUT IT!!!!
Ha! That's why I have a gas powered phone!
Dude, 1996 called and wants its joke back, but you missed the call because you were on the modem.
There are still low-cost feature phones... and blackberry. Yeah.
...and build it all using ARDUINOs!

Can I come over to your house and watch a movie? That sounds like a lot more fun than a theater.

Well, then you don't really need this early access to blu-ray service since you saw that movie two whole years before it was even released.
If this is already illegal, then why hasn't any authority cracked down on it? What more will this new law do that the existing one can't?
They're called Robo-Americans...
You would watch a movie while at work? Do you work in a tollbooth?

What is a legitimate use case where you want to print something out, but are nowhere near the printer to collect the output?
EVERYBODY should do that! Unless you want all your paper and ink/toner used up by random people printing penises on your printer, for God's sake, DON'T let the internet have access to it!
The *REAL* story here is how you manage to Email a pizza. That is news for nerds that REALLY matters.

Not only that, but one of the companies that wasn't even ASKED was Oracle, the company that makes its money selling DATABASES!
Of course, Oracle is pretty evil, they might actually say "yes".... And then we wouldn't even have a news story.
