I don't have mod points at the moment, but maybe you got modded down because your points were ridiculous. A login doesn't make you any less anonymous unless you choose to use your real name or use the same screen name you use on other sites where you give your real name or personal information. It's very confusing for those of us who do log in to try to figure out which Anonymous Coward in a thread is even the same entity. Maybe they should do like Google Docs does and give anonymous users absurd nicknames like Jaunting Jackalope to at least solve that issue.
Anonymous COWARD should somewhat give away how the site feels about anonymous posts, but whatever.
The good news is mostly only early adopters of the Internet like gigantic corporations and government entities have that sort of access to public IPv4 addresses. Oh, wait. That makes it much, much worse!
I've been battling Google over an Android app I coded in 2009 against the Android 1.5 API. I was getting nag messages for several months about the app no longer being in compliance with their latest standards. I had sold I set about unpublishing the app. The Android store continues to allow access to the app for any previously paying customers--no harm there. However, they would not let me complete the unpublish step because they tied their entire form to validation checks. So, I would have to provide a privacy policy, several new icons and app screenshots, and a content rating to UNPUBLISH the app. One day, I begrudgingly completed this task and submitted the application for review. It was denied. Google took issue with something in the APK itself and wanted me to rebuild an app I hadn't touched in 8 years.
I finally took the nuclear option and deleted the entire Google account that had published the app. Google left the app in place and is continuing to offer it for sale. I think I have a case for a lawsuit, but who bothers suing a behemoth like Google?
If he truly discussed it in public, on a forum using timestamped messages, that should count as formally published in our increasingly informal society. Of course, there's probably some IP-catchall buried in the Google Groups ToS that claims ownership of all ideas written there.
There are GPS receivers like that, but the people who have need of them have decided the small amount of altitude (if directly above usage point) or position discrepancy are acceptable to their use case. I worked at a large manufacturer of consumer GPS devices and they were all over our building.
Some of them are only certified for ridiculous periods of time like 30 minutes as well. Pretty much, if you don't put the fire out yourself with a fire extinguisher, your stuff is toast.
Many people choose predictable mediocrity over uncertainty. That's why people still drink Bud Light instead of spending their money trying various craft brews.
Your last example is really bad, because the FCC themselves would cut you off if you intentionally broadcast anything, but especially music, over ham radio. Ham radio is for two-way communication and music playing is forbidden, presumably to avoid any appearance of any casual competition with established media channels.
Yes! I once received a product that was fraudulently represented as a hardcover U.S. textbook to find out it was a paperback international edition. Crickets from the seller.
Catholic theology has a concept of "subsidiarity" which advocates problems should be solved at the level of government closest to the problem. If we would adopt that, we'd pay our highest taxes to our city, second highest to our state, and almost nothing to a distant centralized federal government. You can easily poke holes in the philosophy by arguing corner cases like localized natural disaster relief or localized recession, but in the general case, I think it could combine a more compassionate response to problems like feeding and sheltering the poor with true local accountability of those in charge of the money.
Several large cities have been trying to get into the taxation business big-time without any concessions from the higher forms of government! This is somewhat human nature, I suppose, to combine two philosophies and get the worst of both!
Then someone should prosecute the Federal Reserve for fraud. The currency clearly says legal tender for all debts, public and private. If the product has been received, you owe a debt to the seller.
That's one of the tradeoffs that goes into deciding whether you want to use a public or private CDN as well. Do you accept the downtime of hosts not under your influence or control or do you not? Do you accept that their content which you reference will always be what you referenced at the time you created the dependency (think defacing or just loss of data due to incompetence)? Do you want to be pushed around if the maintainer of the content starts pulling it due to a legal battle or a petty disagreement?
The post I was replying to originally said:
It would cause All libraries to be reloaded for every page of the site
Which is an absolutely ridiculous statement. Whether I want my caching strategy to improve the load time of unrelated sites on the Internet is strictly my business. Being too dumb to set up caching on your own web site is an entirely different matter.
I didn't give much thought to my post, because my years of experience making applications to serve millions of weekly users through a global CDN means this is all second-nature to me. In many cases, one minified file can serve all the JavaScript dependencies of your entire site while doing client-side templating and dynamic content retrieval from external HTTP/REST services. A page is a dead concept on the web.
Only if you don't make use of the well-supported caching mechanisms inherent in HTTP. Or fail to create a single page application (e.g. if all pages of your site are loading the same libraries, is it really a site or just a web application?). You throw a lot of stones for someone who doesn't seem to understand modern web development techniques.
If you've run out of gas more than once and were unprepared to deal with it again, you really should run for political office. Seems such forward-thinking individuals are in high demand.

I pity you if you believe they haven't already sold such information. There are clear connections between Facebook and the CIA.
Impartial observer here: you brought sexuality into this by discussing underage lovers.

If you're measuring your children with "less," then you already have too many. The diminishing of countable items is designated as "fewer."

No wander the PR=B$ don't want a minimum wage, how can you pay some one per hour less than the price of one meal, that is sick.
I'm not sure I follow your logic. I make six figures and make less per hour than a meal at my favorite steakhouse.

More than likely they will just take up the buying of selling of carbon credits and derivatives. Create your market, then exploit it!

It is, unfortunately, true for the US. Several Supreme Court rulings have decided this to be true.
All my friends are intelligent enough to know that a forum where people post their ideas to each other IS social media.

Yeah, because violating a defendant's 6th Amendment right to a speedy trial is so kewl d00d.

Your reading comprehension is so poor you think I agreed with you when I did not.

Bums: yes. Can deposits: no.
