Maybe 4chan can wield their social sword for good and teach execs that we don't need 10 minutes of show and 22 minutes of laugh track in every episode.
I would appreciate a link to their addresses, and another link to the Google Street View outside their residences where their houses are grayed out, or where all the streets in the area are in Street View but theirs is not.
But I think if you drove past their house with a car and took a few pictures of their house, not only would you not be breaking any laws, but they wouldn't care one little bit. If you stood outside their house for hours with high-def cameras, then maybe they'd have a problem.
That's the point. Innocent people whose only "crime" is thinking DRM isn't a bad idea need to get hurt by DRM, or they'll never know why we think it's such a bad idea.
Until we know a lot of them, we simply don't know. However, considering the galactic plane is tilted with respect to our own ecliptic, I suspect the working theory is that no, the two have little to nothing to do with each other.
I'd be curious the percentages of stars that a mission like Kepler is looking at, that actually have planets transiting them. And if that percentage is roughly equal to what you'd expect with a random distribution of ecliptics. It would not surprise me in the least if the numbers matched.
You are making the assumption (It's okay. I do it all the time).
"It's Turtles All The Way Down" is a catch-all, jokingly straw-man argument when discussing science articles. It's particularly apt here as Hawking himself used it (Though he thinks it originated from another of my favorites, Bertrand Russel) himself in A Brief History of Time. stealing quoting from Wikipedia which I will assume quoted the book:
A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: "What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise." The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, "What is the tortoise standing on?" "You're very clever, young man, very clever", said the old lady. "But it's turtles all the way down!"
Spoiler is slang for any element of any summary or description of any piece of fiction that reveals any plot element which will give away the outcome of a dramatic episode within the work of fiction, or the conclusion of the entire work.
Seems pretty good to me. I think I'll edit in "As an example, the killer in Mousetrap is...":)
Funny, I'm in almost the same boat and I don't mind at all. Granted, $60 means that it'll likely be $50 from Amazon (It's now $40 on Amazon, as opposed to $50 from Microsoft), but still $60 is $5/month. That's a single beer in a bar, once a month. For the (very little) I get out of Xbox Live Gold, I think $5 a month is worth it.
Tiered service is not a violation of net neutrality. You can pay more for faster speeds, or less for slower speeds.
This is paying more for faster speeds. I don't see the problem.
I also see nowhere in the article that states WHAT is faster. I suspect it's just a faster pipe overall and this entire freakout session is without purpose.
My gut told me that satellites may still be able to use GPS, and this article seems to bear me out. I will admit that the specifics (and the huge block of text) are above me, but a quick skimming implies I'm correct.
That only works when there's not a coding standard in place at said company. A good coding standard covers all those points and much, much more, leaving developers to debate the problems that actually matter to the company.
I read this as "...leaving developers to create the problems that actually matter to the company." which makes your comment absolutely hilarious.

How do you feel about what makes me say this post was written by a robot?
Maybe they're afraid they'll be next if they don't capitulate.
"Now, sees, I'd hate to find your little Jimmy there had downloaded some of our music..."
My math isn't to blame. It's my typing. I meant "10 minutes of show, 12 minutes of laugh track" for a total of 22 minutes.
I fail at joke.

I see two of the fingers around what would be the 'top' of the phone which is uncharacteristically how people hold cell phones.
Maybe it's an iPhone

Q.E.D.
I think you described a perfectly reasonable reason to pay for cable.
Likewise, being willing to abandon one of those (for me it's the "when they air" clause) things to lose the cable bill is also perfectly reasonable.
You joke (and it's funny) but when it comes down to it, piracy preserved this game.
The irony is, now that they've got it back they'll probably sell it on DRM'd blu-rays.
Now there's an idea. Cardboard cutout in the cube, work from home!
Everybody's happy!
Seems like a great reason to drive home anyway.
Not that I'm condoning it. Punishing someone for doing a crime that they not only DID NOT DO, but INTENTIONALLY AVOIDED DOING, is asinine.
If it was your appendix, and you had a choice, which one would you choose?
The person who has done more.
5/8ths security and freedom is better than no security and freedom at all.

I came in here to say this, only much less eloquently.

How about Wikipedia's?

I hate that explanation. If you only want money, be a banker. Or work for Apple or something. If you want to work in TV, make a goddamn decent show.
And booze... And hookers!
On second thought forget the teleporter!
And the booze!
Actually, as a percentage of my income or net worth I likely spend similar to his $20 million on video game purchases.
