DMCA is mostly about safe harbour not Copyright. Once a DMCA notice is received the website operator can no longer claim ignorance to distributing copyright protected material. Since Stardock is already on the hook for copyright infringement they have no reason to comply with the request and by doing so would make it appear that they do not own the relevant copyrights.
No company is obligated to respect DMCA notice's they just become liable for distribution of the content if they don't.
Yes. Because it's the "spend" part that necessitate the tax (explicit and implicit). As long as you do the "spend" part, how you exactly fund it is irrelevant.
P.S. I guess to be pedantically correct, "Borrow and Spend" is more or equally fiscally responsible (or irresponsible) than "Tax and Spend".
"Borrow and Spend" Creates inflation which is essentially tax on wealth, if done within a stable range it will encourage investment as cash not invested will decrease in value over time.
Better China than the US. China treats its own citizens like crap, but doesn't push countries outside their immediate vicinity around militarily. The US has been a worldwide bully since the end of WW2.
That's a good point except the fact that Australia is in China's vicinity.
They are saying that they should only respect the copyrights of large corporations not that of small individuals.
The thing is the EU policy is really highlighting how stupid the existing copyright laws are and hopefully they will force a rewrite of copyright to something more sensible.
Or you could switch to preferential voting to make third parties viable, the whole US voting system was designed prior to electronic communications and needs a serious overhaul.
Additionally to this, brand ambassador roles are a co-promotion so Samsung would have been paying money to promote her personal brand as well as just their phones.
Given the large value of the contract she should be expected to understand it properly.
If you remove the need for human labor you could theoretically operate as a sealed system and not require any pesticides or herbicides, since there would be no access path for weeds or bugs.
My head-cannon on the "Hyperspace Ram" which has zero basis in the movie but is the only way to make sense of it is that whatever device allowed the First Order to track via hyperspace also allowed them to be target-able from hyperspace.
My main problem with the movie is 90% of it has no effect whatsoever on the actual plot.
In theory the $5000 dollar fine would be related to the cost of a forensic search of your phone. This is just the reality of modern cyber warfare. I think we need to move to the assumption that any device in a foreign country is compromised.
The write of this study is so far from what the data shows it's silly. The headline is that there is no reason to see more men in stem than women. However the data shows that is the case at 10% of the population, i.e. if more than 10% of people work in stem it will be majority women and if less than 10% of people work in stem it will be majority men. What makes this study misleading is it didn't mention that only 6.2% of careers are in stem fields. It also didn't mention what the expected break-down was at this point.
There are two features I can see being useful on a smart microwave, and if Amazon is reading this I'm happy to sign over the rights to these ideas for a free microwave.
1) It should be able to open the door when I ask it to so I can put things in with my hands full.
2) It should be able to read bar codes on the top of frozen meals and be able to re-heat them better than just setting it to 2-3 minutes on high.
DST is a poor substitute for deregulation of work hours. I live in a location without daylight savings, but I'm fortunate enough that in summer I can start work early ( I wake with the sun) do my hours and finish early.
One thing that appears to be common to all programs that use financial incentives is that if you want to have a genuine impact it is better to go short and fast rather than slow and steady. Slow and steady just supports the status quo but a quick change cause disruption which can make things better or worse.
Instead of providing an extra $20 a week you give a one-time payment of $1000. The extra $20 will just get absorbed into the budget and dissapear but the $1000 will allow the recipient to pay off debt's to avoid the pay-day loan tax. Or by a new set of appliances to reduce ongoing power costs and allow for better home cooking. Now some people might just blow the $1000 on a new TV or a week-long bender but they would have just blown the $20 a month anyway.
I say we fight fire with fire... The Screen Actors Guild needs to get involved and write it into their contracts that they must be paid for every "work of art" that hollywood destroys when they remove someone's access to a movie... since it clearly is damaging to the actors brand when a user looses access to the artist's work.;)
Hollywood will just payout on the Net and for every copy destroyed they'll create a soft-link in a small warehouse outside of Vermont.
Water is right out but what about deuterium? It is an element even though it doesn't and shouldn't appear on the periodic table. The Pluto argument comes down to how to settle an argument between scientists and common usage. When they don't agree I believe that the Scientists should be the ones who have to use silly names to differentiate not the general public. So let scientists call them true planets and dwarf planets and everyone else can call the all planets.
A better example is whether a moon is a satellite or not.

Well my laptop has an exhaust fan on it so I guess I can't disagree

Refusing to give up the encryption key would be contempt of court depending or your fifth amendment right depending on the price of your lawyer.

It becomes illegal when you try to spruik it as a medical device. Same stupid reason they won't let me sell my cancer repelling rocks.

A) Ireland is part of the EU B) The EU wants to prevent a race to the bottom on corporate taxes

... we simply cannot have a never ending list of planets to include in our definition of the solar system.
Sure we can. We just need to use the appropriate data structure to store the list.
Finally some recognition that Venus is the 1st planet
