The value Pandora adds to the product is exposure. They do it much better than broadcast radio. Broadcast Radio just plays you the songs they've determined are the biggest hits throughout their audience. Pandora selects songs for YOU. If you like songs X, Y, and Z it finds you W, even if 99% of the world hates song W. Instead of having to make a product that appeals to as many people as possible, Pandora provides exposure to artists who want to work niche interests.
Except the defense is DISPUTING the claims of the plaintiff. If it was just for bookkeeping purposes, wouldn't the defense nod their heads, and rubber stamp a settlement?
But how much of America does the average American actually see? I've spent most of my life in 4 states in the northeast. Someone from Texas or California likely doesn't get out of their own state much at all. So the sheer size of America isn't the issue. Even growing up in the suburbs, most car rides (to school, to the grocery, to the mall, etc) were less than half an hour, and we didn't require TV to keep us occupied. Trips to see family could be several hours, but that's no different than trips between cities in other countries.
I didn't have a TV in the back of the car when I was growing up, but I learned when I finally started driving that I didn't have a very good grasp on where things were. I just don't pay attention to the details when I'm not driving. Even now, I need to be in the driver's seat to learn a new route.
Some kid writes a letter with the standard "this town sucks" theme, and people boycott her parent's business? What's wrong with these people? I bet half the teenagers and college-aged kids in that town agree that Coalinga sucks. Just like all the kids in every other small town think their home town sucks. Give them a few years after they move out of town and they'll realize the city sucks too.
Natural != Good, Unnatural != Evil. Milk tastes good, it's a good source of calcium. I'm not going to stop drinking it just because no other adult animal drinks milk. Humans do a lot of things that no other animals do.
ASCAP will charge AT&T 5 cents for every use of the ring tone. AT&T will pass this on to the consumer as an 8 cent per use surcharge. To simplify billing, they don't want to keep track of which ringtone actually played each time the phone rings (or if the ringer was in silent mode) so this 8 cents will be charged whenever the phone rings. As a service to their customers, they will of course be calling every phone to let them know about the new charges (already in effect). Several times, so people remember.
Duct Tape doesn't block light very well. I've piled it on my equipment 5 layers thick. You can still see the light through that, but it doesn't illuminate the area any more.
Yes, it is. A series of tubes is a perfectly fine metaphor. A fat pipe has long been a common metaphor for a fast connection. Notice the similarity between pipes and tubes. If you have a problems with the rest of Senator Stevens's argument, please actually address those points, rather than just bringing up this tired old quote.
Whether it's gambling or not, it's still a zero sum game. For every dollar that someone wins, someone else loses a dollar. So if people are paying for their kid's college through poker, either they're skimming sizeable amounts of money off a large group of losers. Or there's one really big loser who just blew their kids whole college fund.
I saw an ad with two pictures of Angelina. One a real picture, the other the same picture badly photoshopped to give her thin lips. Even with the bad photoshop work, she looked better with the thin lips. But the funny thing was, the ad's headline was "Even Angelina Jolie looks bad with thin lips." Apparently they were offering a lip-thickening service to make you look as "good" as Angelina. No thanks.
taking the min is probably not what you want to do. If you don't have room in the destination for everything you want to copy, you need to find a new destination. Copying just part of the source memory is going to lead to strange behavior down the road (when you start interpretting the copied memory and it cuts off suddenly). So this just changes checking the sizes before the memcpy call and handling the error there into check the error code from memcpy_s, and handling the error afterwards.
I've seen places that offer free Wi-Fi, just not during lunch hours. Seems like a good compromise. You need to put in enough seating for lunch hours, but outside of that a lot of that seating is going to waste. If you can make a couple of extra sales by letting people hang around the store all afternoon surfing the web, it might be a good deal.
The great thing about City Of Heroes is the flexibility in getting a team together. If you want to run dungeons in World of Warcraft, you need a healer, a tank, and three others to fill out the team. In City of Heroes, if you want to run a task force with your blaster, and two scrappers (all DPS classes). You've got all tankers? That'll work too. Most of the "Defender" class don't concentrate on healing, some of them can't heal at all. Missions and task forces scale to your team size, so you don't have to wait on getting the last man to fill out your team. Then there's the sidekick system that lets your friend play with you, even if he's much lower in level.
That's the beauty of the public domain. Anyone can take those ideas and characters and make something out of them. Disney did a really great job adapting these old tales. The fact that they weren't original ideas by Disney doesn't take away from that (did anyone ever think Disney came up with them?) Dreamworks was able to use many of those same characters in their Shrek movies, because they're not Disney's characters, they're everyone's characters.
It's not their problem if the computer is stolen. All this guy wants is to buy some accessories. Alienware's only response should be "Yes, sir. How many would you like? (Can we add fries with that?)" Combatting computer theft is not their job. Just like it's not Autozone's job to check if your car is stolen before they sell you a new oil filter.
Even in the US, I think Kleenex must be a regional thing. In my experience "tissue" is much more common. Maybe it's just that my family never bought Kleenex brand anyway.

I want Bumblebee! Not a Camaro, I've got to go look for a yellow Volkswagon Beetle (The original Beetle, not the lame copy)

They just don't want to be turned into Torgo's Executive Powder
So the internet is... like a series of tubes?

And you've got bands giving Wal-mart exclusive rights to sell their album. Once you have to do that, who has the power, the label or Wal-mart?

Do what the McDonalds near me does. Have your employees deny that you offer free WiFi, despite the posters in plain view on the walls advertising it.
If sales are poor enough, they have to give their blow back?

There were Large Hadron Colliders and artificial lungs existing in nature? Where?

The buyer never agreed to the EULA. So any restriction from transferring the software doesn't apply to him.

Yes yes we know. And it's not a band-aid. It's a "Band-aid brand adhesive bandage."
