I think there were other reasons to vote against it, if only because Lloyd Doggett is one of the most liberal members of the house.
Indeed, daily kos calls the watered-down bill "an authorization of domestic spying in violation of the 4th amendment" and is congratulating the 121 members who had the backbone to vote against it.
So I think your attack on (at least part of) the 121 is unfounded; they are a mix of those who refused to authorize spying with those who thought existing law was great. Likewise, the 303 who approved are probably a mix of those who thought this "reining in" was better than nothing, along with the truly evil who did the closed-door rewrite to make it mostly ineffective.
It's perfectly fair. Those good people working at Bethesda Softworks should take this opportunity now to leave and form their own company, before they have yet another idea that will instantly be owned by Zenimax. Then Zenimax can keep what it wants most - all the IP for the games it bought - just lose all the people that came with it.
No, derivative works have always been covered as well. However, there have traditionally been exceptions, such as derivative works that are parodies of the original.
The purpose of the fork is to strip off useless crap, including the stuff forced upon Mozilla by Google. Paying them money to keep up the good work is the opposite of retarded.
Also, ellipses shouldn't be used to join either independent or dependent clauses. Using them in that fashion makes your posts look foolish.
I suspect anyone who walked off the street or read about the event would be able to watch at the church, effectively making it a public event. If it were a private event, you never would have heard about it, and neither would have the NFL.
They made like $300 million last year. There is no way that I, or even 1000 people like me, could give enough for them to listen to us. It makes far more sense to give to a smaller fork that is still on the correct path, and doesn't see Google money so smaller donations matter.
Unless the locks on your doors are to lock people in, they aren't there because you assume all your houseguests are criminals, they are there because you assume some non-house guests are criminals. The locks don't stop the people you've already let in. And yeah, I do assume some of the people outside are criminals. Why wouldn't I?
By refunding the purchase in the non-standard currency used for payment? Because even when I pay by credit card now, I am always paying using the same currency as the item is priced.
With Bitcoin, there is a conversion involved in the payment. If the item is returned but bitcoins have halved in value, will I get twice as many bitcoins back as I paid (i.e. new conversion at latest rate - most likely outcome, but I still got to launder my bitcoins into more bitcoins)? If Bitcoins have doubled in value, will I get back the same number I paid and make money on the return (i.e. reuse old rate; ripe for abuse as a way to hedge on the exchange rate for 30 days)? Or will the return be processed as cash (i.e. easy way to launder bitcoins into cash)?
Same with countries, that's why they all want the nukes, it's the nukes that make all the difference.
And that's why I'm concerned about this conflict. Even though Ukraine voluntarily gave up their nuclear arsenal after the USSR collapse, the thing is, they still have a nice supply of dirty bomb materials courtesy of the Soviets, all conveniently located inside a collapsing sarcophagus and on the surrounding countryside. If Ukraine wanted to use a scorched%H%H%Hirradiated earth policy, they still supply most if not all water to Crimea. It wouldn't take much.
Ukraine didn't "take" Crimea either, it was assigned to their jurisdiction when both were completely subservient to the USSR, and then amicably* left with them when the republics separated. That doesn't seem to be stopping Putin now; neither does international law. Our missiles probably would, though.
Yeah, when I was in my 20s most Hispanics just wanted to work hard to better their families, most women were pretty happy staying in the home once they had kids, most Slashdotters were marginalized geeks who just wanted to play with computers. Now, Hispanics want to be respected as equals in the political arena, women want equal pay for equal work, and Slashdotters want people to stay off their lawns. I definitely really don't approve that ethnic, gender, and social groups who previously stayed in their own second-class-citizen corners have decided they want rights equal to those of straight white Christian sports-loving men like myself, and dare to speak up about it sometimes.
Sony could close the loop hole by letting customers keep access to any PlayStation Plus games for which they had bought additional downloadable content, even if they cancel their PS Plus subscription. Or maybe have some threshold of DLC like $10 or $20 to enable keeping the game.
Black-box reimplementations of the servers shouldn't be illegal, any more than reverse engineering any other protocol would be. Connecting to one might violate a click-through contract you "signed" once, and get your account banned from the official servers, sure, but it should never violate the law.
With MakeMKV will any Blu-ray drive read any Blu-ray disk? Or are there still compatibility issues? Curious since there are a few things I'd like in higher quality and I'm old enough to like to "own" bits sometimes.
The vast majority of real life situations are pictures that I Like on Facebook because I like the person, while the photo itself has poor light, composition, and depth of field. If "the guy who took it doesn't know better and the picture is going to be forgotten about in 10 minutes" is all that matters, we should have stopped innovating phone cameras ten years ago. Most people don't know what's better until they're given better, then they're silently happier that more of their photos don't look like shit.
It can run a later version of Linux or BSD, or it could be thrown away. ("Why throw away perfectly working hardware?" Well, install a safe OS on it then.)
It's not that different from, for example, the electrical system in our house. Originally it was knob and tube, with a breaker box from the 1940s that the inspector called "unsafe". All of that was replaced before we agreed to buy, because what was there - even though it was A-OK when it was originally sold - simply did not meet modern standards for safety. It had to go, and the person who owned it was stuck paying for that replacement.
The only difference with your old laptop is that it went obsolete much faster. That's a good thing though; if it took 50 years for a laptop to go obsolete we wouldn't have lived to see smart phones and the internet.
When your trade executed in a dark pool owned by your broker, and they've given HFT partners fast access to trade results from their dark pool, it sounds to me that your broker has violated your trust by colliding with a partner to front run.
If they were truly acting on your behalf, they would hide/delay the dark pool trade until the rest of the trade was filled elsewhere. Or they'd stagger the orders to each market to match average delays to minimize HFT opportunities.
It's called front running and it's both unfair and illegal. It's just that in this case, being illegal doesn't mean it will be stopped or those doing it punished.

It's a relatively recent example, but see The Wind Done Gone .
You mean all in the same currency? I think you didn't even read my post.

They left off exsanguinating.

Because the laws are different in other countries, and citing examples from other countries does not refute claims made by someone citing U.S. Code.

I suppose you say the same thing about roller coasters.

I would have thought that people would have learned by now from the failures of Sony.
Fixed, but sadly, still broken.

Hemp would likely thrive on that land.

I shoot Q&As at film festivals. I'm not allowed to use a flash, and the light is usually yellow with a lot of red from the velvet walls.
No phone can tackle that, but I can get good pictures from a DSLR.
