You remember everything we thought you about strangers, and how you never have to let them touch you in ways you feel uncomfortable about. None of that matters any more when you're flying.
Response from TSA: Blah blah blah, procedures, blah blah blah, terrorists. The little girl violated our procedures because she was scared, therefore we MUST subject her to more terrifying treatment. Honestly surprised that the mother who walked past the TSA agent to try to calm her daughter was not arrested for her suspicious behavior.
For software, what you buy is a license and the ability to install the software, and that is what you can resell. Due to the first sale doctrine, the license cannot disallow resale (a clause "you may install this software on one, and only one, computer owned by the original purchaser of the license" would be invalid). There are certain other things that a software license cannot disallow, but most license restrictions have regularly been upheld in court.
Yes, you know it's a license because they present you with a license to sign when you pick it up at the store, and correct you when you say you want to buy the game.
What? That doesn't happen? That's because you are BUYING the game, just like you buy a book.
So if used game sales are driving up game costs for single-player games, why aren't we seeing the games that are primarily multiplayer selling for cheaper?
but for a state-wide test there shouldn't be any wriggle room.
I agree, but they should ensure this by correctly writing the questions to provide one and only one correct answer, not by choosing the "most correct" one to designate as the right answer.
What's the "Mid Point Formula"? Just finding the midpoint between two points? I can't imagine a teacher going out of their way not to teach something so simple.
That's why my iPod has 120gb capacity, so I can store the whole music collection on it. Then, if I for some reason get an urge to listen to Styx, I can play Styx,
I have no idea how the smart playlists can figure out what I'll want to listen to tomorrow.
No, if they'd produced his show for him. They wouldn't have made any money either. If they made money they'd have to pay him, so they'd insist to both Louis CK and the IRS that the show did not make any money whatsoever.
We should feel lucky that despite the fact that even the biggest blockbusters don't make money, all these media companies stay in the business and keep putting out movies and music for us. Less generous companies would look at all the money-losing movies and get into another line of business.
Seem to assume the only way to cancel out an over-estimation is someone reporting a negative loss. Not sure why, Respondent A reporting $10k when his loss was really $5k could be canceled by Respondent B who lost $5k but was too embarrassed to say so.
So we need to fix the surveys! If you get asked about how much you lost to cybercrime, claim to be a cybercriminal and give negative numbers. "I made $2 million in my Nigerian Prince scam. Would you help me smuggle money out of my country before my usurper cousin recovers it?"
Nothing new. My primary address is a.us domain, and I've had validators complain that its not valid. They were just going to spam it anyway, so I gave them an address I no longer have access to.
The hierarchy is already dead..com,.net and.org were supposed to have distinct uses. But they don't everyone goes for.com first and then grabs a.net or a.org if what they want is unavailable. The country codes were supposed to organize sites that were specific to certain countryies. instead they're used to make stupid domains like tw.it
ICANN's only criterion here on whether this is a good idea is whether it will generate lots more money in newly registered domains. Better grab your top level domain before someone squats on it and makes you look bad
And if that was their real worry, they'd restrict the rules to returning opened but functional products for mere dissatisfaction. If the product is actually defective, the return should be processed no questions asked.
I was surprised at how little I could find about what happens if a project just fails in its goals. It seems like that should be a fairly common occurrence, the backers just simply made a bad estimate of the funds needed or underestimated the difficulty of completing what they planned (or simply found that what they found as not feasible.) This is an unfortunate but understandable result. I kind of figure in this case the backers have to chalk it up to a failed investment and move on. They do deserve an update explaining the unplanned circumstances and apologizing.
But then there's cases where the promoters do all the hype, collect the money and then just skip out, with no intention of ever delivering. Don't know about this project, so can't say if that's the case here, Their lack of contact with their backers is a bad sign, but could just be the first case handled badly. The pictures of them on vacation right after funding ended could be a bad sign, or it could have just been intended as a joke.
Now all the Republicans who were whining about what a horrible candidate Romney was and how he wasn't any better than Obama get to shake, shake, shake etch-a-sketch and pretend to love him.
There may be no conflict, but that doesn't mean there's no racism. We shouldn't expect the abused to just accept their abuse without complaint so as to avoid conflict.
It annoys me when I see actual news sites that don't include more than the headline when they have a video story. Oh, that sounded like something I wanted to read about. Too bad, we just have the video. There's nothing in the video that particularly lends itself to video, but we thought you'd like someone to read this story to you...
Anyway, hopefully any more videos slashdot posts will be videos for a reason. In many of those cases the transcript may not be that interesting.

I was pleasantly surprised when the Mexican airport didn't require me to take off my shoes. Then I felt sad that I'd grown so used to it in the US...

Hopefully it comes closer to these claims than the CFLs, which claimed 5 year lives, but often failed within a few weeks.

And those commercials are so LOUD. Louder than the actual movies, usually.

The governor adds: "However, I also don’t believe that it accomplishes anything that isn’t already acceptable in our schools."
So why don't you veto it to prevent cluttering up the lawbook with unnecessary laws?
We'll start this chapter by watching the first few seasons of Stargate SG-1.

5) Provide contracts to manufacturers of ineffectual scanning devices, to re-elect incumbents.

Obviously he was compensating in the previous game, trying to prove to himself that he wasn't gay. He's since come to terms with his feelings.
