Why not just turn on quick edit and right-click to paste (literally right-click, no context menu required). But if you are that into CTRL-V you can turn it on in Windows 10 in the console.
The speeds would be much better if we blocked access to useless content like all cat videos, most of Netflix, and right wing websites. Get rid of the useless crap and the speeds will go back up. No, you most certainly don't need access to that stuff. Stop taking away bandwidth from those of us who actually need it and do important stuff.
Yea, damn that net neutrality! You keep posting these much needed wakeup calls Ajit Pai... er...I mean anonymous but wise coward.
Actually, in some cases yes, they can be sued by Adobe. It depends on the relationship they have with the designer. If the designer is working for them as a contract employee it's entirely possible for the company to go after them as the employer. Since most companies like Universal like to exploit the US laws that allow for works-for-hire to give them (as opposed to the creator) copyright ownership, the relationship with the people who create works for them can get a little tangled up.
The designer maybe created it as a work for hire - they can't control what Universal does afterward. What Universal did with the generated image is governed by copyright law. I really think these font makers have some impossible terms in their license.
I'm sure it was already licensed for "commercial use" but font companies decide that there's something like "bigger commercial use" that this would have fallen under. Since Universal only used the generated images, I'm not sure how they're in any violation of the software license purchased by the designer.
It depends on the exact nature of their relationship with the designer. Without access to the contracts we have no way to know.
Seriously? This is news? Why the fuck is this news? This has been basic fucking functionality in unix operating systems for decades. Decades! Hell even as APK said in another post, you used to be able to do this in DOS.
I mean...WTF
Not sure how it's news at all. All they did was tweak the color pallet a bit. You have been able to change the colors for as long as I can remember. In windows it's in the console properties menu.
Whatever are we going to do when we don't have to click an icon and select a sub-menu item to paste?
You have been able to paste into the console by just right-clicking since Windows XP. All you had to do was turn on Quick Edit mode. It's on by default in later versions of Windows.
Since font shapes cannot be copyrighted, they will have a tough time proving that their own ttf file (which can be copyrighted) was used unlawfully.
And proving it was used unlawfully will be all but impossible if it was ever sold to the public. Even if Universal doesn't have a license for the font files (ttf, otf, or whatever) they may have contracted a designer who does have such a license. And even if the designer was using the font without a license, it is the designer they could sue, not Universal, unless Universal had knowledge in which case they could be liable for contributory infringement.
Proving it is easy since the designer bought a license for the font for the project. Universal distributed the work, and probably holds copyright on it as a work-for-hire, so yea, they sue Universal, then it's up to Universal to go after the 3rd party designer. If the contracts for this type of work are anything like they are for a screen play, the designer is up shit's creek here as they should have know they used the wrong license.
I thought this was settled in U.S. copyright law. You can't copyright a font, only the computer instructions for making the font. Therefore, you can't restrict how text set in the font is distributed, only the usage of the font files by the designers.
You are correct, however as "software" it's licensed, and they can pretty do as they will there. There are plenty of software packages out there with separate non-commercial and commercial use licenses.
Go where? Amazon nuked the competition. It's the same reason most orgs still have Microsoft desktops despite MS sucking rotting eggs forward and backward. Your poop has to be crevice-for-crevice compatible with the shape of everyone else's MS-Anus if you want to pass goods and services instead of be constipated.
Competition is good, now lets get some.
Walmart or eBay for starters. Yes, Walmart also has 3rd party sellers. Or Sears (also has 3rd party sellers).
It's easy for countries that don't manufacture cars to stick to 2025. It's only a matter of what models they import. No skin off their nose if car companies have production lines that are still making ICE cars.
That only works down to a certain point. If 2025 rolls around and there are, say, only 4 cars that can be imported, and the cheapest is 50% more expensive than a standard economy box ICE car, the citizens might get a bit pissed off.
It will be 'You will get my internal combustion engine car when you pry it out of my cold dead hands." You might just as well try to get Muricans to quit playing with guns.
Battery and charging technology need to improve quite a bit before it's practical to do this in the US. It's funny but most Europeans have no concept of exactly how large the US (and Canada for that matter) are. I recently took a road trip and a friend in Ireland was flabbergasted when I told him it was a 13 hour drive. They think what works for them must be able to work here too when that just isn't the case.
They also seem to have trouble understanding our weather as well when I tell them it's 42C outside and I don't live in the south and I'm not on fire. 25C and they are bitching about the heat.
I don't know about that. As demand falls the price of petrol will dip until it hits a point where refining costs due to shrinking demand start to drive it back up, eventually well beyond where it is today as it becomes more of a novelty product. Virtually every big product like that has a breaking point where it becomes more expensive to make less of it. Fuel stations will also begin to close, reducing competition while at the same time the remaining stations will need to increase their margins to make up for the reduced volume. All of that is going to push most people who still own the cars to trade in as their costs to operate rise as their vehicles age.
All of this, of course, being conditional on these bans actually going into effect 2040 doesn't seem unreasonable, but many of the others pushing for the mid-2020's I don't see how they won't get pushed back. 2025 is less than a decade away now. Tesla is on the leading edge but the big automakers are still lagging behind still and they move at a glacial pace when it comes to big change.
I like the buy 2 for the price of 10 I see on amazon (usually via third party sellers). Or the occasional buy 2 for the price of 2.5 or 3 that can be found at Target sometimes (Target math is so bizarre it has memes dedicated to it).
Turns out United is taking full credit for this one:
"While TSA is recommending that customers keep their comic books in their carry-on bags, there are no restrictions on packing them in checked luggage,” reads the statement. “We misunderstood TSA’s instructions and regret any inconvenience this may have caused our customers."
So basically TSA said "We really recommend you keep your valuable comics in your carry on." and United ran with it as "NO COMICS IN CHECKED BAGS!! BLARGHHH!!!!"
There have been several studies, including a pretty large one done by the US military, on the stability of common drugs (include the rather old study that propublica referenced in the article from the summary) that show that most drugs are stable and potent past their expiration date. The problem is that there are drugs like tetracycline that decompose and not only lose potency but become toxic to humans, and other that just lose potency. And like I said, there is no real reason that a drug company would want to go through the cost of certifying a drug out to 5 or 10 years, especially for a generic. This is something that would be best suited for the government to fund since they (and, by the transitive property of taxes, the citizens) would be the primary financial benefactor .
Tetracycline is one of the drugs you absolutely do not want to take after it expires, as it does become toxic. However it's one of a small subset of common medications that actually can cause a problem. The vast majority of drugs are stable over a long period of time. The problem is that most drug companies don't want to spend money doing testing out past what they are required to do for the FDA.

All phones have removable batteries, they just vary on the effort required to remove them.
no, my desk phone has no batteries of any sort, removable or not
how much effort is required to remove something that doesn't exist?
perhaps you should try to be precise, when you are castigating others for their lack of precision
Yes it does. Just keep following that wire out the back you will eventually find a battery along the way.
Customizations can be downloaded separately.
Any of their phones have removable batteries?

Greater data demand -- either more data usage or more customers -- means slower speeds. Think of it as increased traffic on a highway.
This is only true if the provider doesn't improve its infrastructure, increasing total bandwidth available to better support that increased demand.
So, in other words, it's true.
The speeds would be much better if we blocked access to useless content like all cat videos, most of Netflix, and right wing websites. Get rid of the useless crap and the speeds will go back up. No, you most certainly don't need access to that stuff. Stop taking away bandwidth from those of us who actually need it and do important stuff.

Maybe they mean the powershell console (which is the default console on a fresh install after the April update on 10).

oil will run out one day, but the sun will always shine
Maybe another 4 billion years but hardly always.
If we haven't figured out how to make our way out among the stars to ruin other planets by then, well it won't really matter much one way or another.

Valuable things also tend to disappear from checked bags as well. The government can protect us from shoe bombs but not petty theft apparently.
Turns out United is taking full credit for this one:

It's not rent-to-own, it costs a pretty penny to develop and deploy them.
Are you suggesting we violate The Protocol on Blinding Laser Weapons, Protocol IV of the 1980 Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons?
Looks to me like you are the one suggesting we do that.
