In the last couple years, many of the stop lights around here have been converted to LED arrays, and they are great. They're much brighter than incandecent bulb stop lights, and the best part is when they start to burn out, it's not all or nothing like incandecents. The city has lots of warning that the lights need to be replaced while there are still LEDs visible for motorists.
I bank with State Farm and their interface lets you enter check transactions into the register, and then reconciles them when the check actually clears.
No, you're not alone. I tivo Good Eats with "Save until I delete" and no limit to how many. While I was away for 2 weeks, it got 6 episodes. Now I'm working making VCDs out of them.
The issue is the exact same. I would absolutely support the company editing the book. As long as they have purchased a copy of the original for every edited copy they sell, then there is nothing wrong with what they have done.
Bringing in the issue of software licenses is a red herring. We are not talking about "viewing licenses" with the movies, we are talking about ownership of the media. And once someone has bought that media, they, or anybody they hire, has the right to modify that copy of the media. A director does not maintain editorial control over presentation of a movie once that copy of the movie has been sold.
Sorry, you don't have any say in the matter. Once you have sold a book, the person who bought that book has every right to band, fold, spindle, or mutilate that book to their heart's content. You do not maintain control of the contents of a book once you have sold it.
I disagree. Fast forwarding is something you do, yes. Going to this guy and saying "Can you fast forward through all the gory parts for me? I don't want to see them." is ALSO something you do.
It's not video piracy, because every copy of the tape that is edited has first been purchased in its original form. You have every right to modify and re-sell something that you have purchased. They aren't reproducing these films, they are just editing copies THEY OWN.
He didn't say billion dollars. He said $895,400,000 dollars, or 895 million, 400 thousand dollars.
Which is correct. But that's just sales minus cost of goods sold. By the time you include all of their other expenses (including $70M in federal taxes) their net income is $129M.
It's a shame about that $70M in taxes. I wish all corporate taxes were eliminated. Any money that a corporating pays in taxes is just money that would otherwise go to individuals. Let's not hide the taxes that individuals pay by calling them corporate taxes. Let's instead move all federal taxes to the individual so that we know how much the government really costs us.

Just to pick nits, that would be racial discrimination, and that is illegal. Other forms of discrimination are legal.

After all, many people get their cable from Time/Warner Cable, which is owned by AOL Time Warner, which also owns CNN.

Get the bills lined up, and clamp them together good and tight, and then paint the top edge with the padding cement. Let dry.
If you think you have problems getting people to accept a $2 bill, wait until you peel a couple off a pad of them.
