Price is tolerable. That is actually what showtime costs me on top of my DishTV subscription. If I could get HBO, Starz, etc. in the same manner, I could in theory drop the Dish stuff and just consume the same content I normally get via the streaming service.
So... my fence has been damaged by DUI drivers a bunch of different times in the past 15 years. Also had a nice oak tree killed by one.
Can I sue Ford, Chevy, and Budwiser?
No....
So these victim families sued, lost, and part of the loosing is "looser pays winners court costs". Which is an idea I've seen championed a bunch here on slashdot....
Having a restraining order, felony conviction, conviction of a crime would could get you a sentence of more than 1 year, and having a misdemeanor conviction of domestic violence all make you a prohibited buyer and the NCIC check *should* catch it.
That is the 4473 form, which the buyer fills out when purchasing from a licensed dealer.
Face to face private transactions are legal where I am (and in many states) but as a personal thing if a buyer doesn't have a CCW permit then I pay the $20 to transfer it to them thru a local FFL.
No, the NFA of '34 enacted the tax stamp for full auto, short barrel rifle/shotguns, destructive devices, and "any other weapon" weapons.
Funnily enough, when Mr Miller's case went to the SCOTUS, the government was planning on arguing that the 2nd protects arms as would be issued to the average infantryman - and at the time, that meant a bolt action ('03A3/A4) or Garand, so the full auto Thompson and sawed off shotgun Mr Miller was convicted of having weren't protected by the 2nd.
What is issued to the average infantry today? Select fire, short rifles (the M4 has a 14" barrel - 2" under what is legal for a civilian to own w/o the $200 tax stamp). Oh, and short shotguns for door breaching. And suppressors.
What is really funny is that in England, etc. where super strict gun laws exist, suppressors aren't regulated, and they are considered to be "required" to be polite and limit the noise. Here, they are considered "evil" and some states out right ban them and the Feds put a oppressive tax on 'em.
And if you are willing to be in the business (ie, get a FFL) and pay the SOT (special occupation tax) you can own post-86 dealer samples. Of course, you need a friendly law enforcement agency to provide a demo request letter, but after that it is easy.
Lets see... if I wanted to get something on a plane to do Something Evil...
1) Become airport employee
2) Become TSA employee
3) Simply smuggle it, maybe even using multiple trips or cooperating with multiple mules
4) Improvise something I can get in an airport after going thru the "security" checks
And I'm no rocket surgeon. I'm sure that most other slashdotters could easily come up with ways of doing all of these things on their own. Internal knowledge of the TSA, or how a backscatter machine works, etc. isn't needed. Sure it would help, but it isn't needed.
The copyright holder(s) of the software need to go after SF and whoever else (Cnet!), etc. - the license they use may be using one of those "integrity of the authors code/name/work/project name" clauses. Or the recipients need to - if there is only a single license agreement (say, the GPL v2) presented, then the source for the adware/malware/etc must also be given if asked for.
Government contracts. After all, when you can print your own money spending a hundred mill or two over what you actually have isn't really noticeable...
Of course, the basics that help make good STEM students - teaching kids how to learn instead of just rote memorization and regurgitation of facts, how to solve problems using the tools at hand, how to think critically - are very useful no matter what field someone ends up in, be it programming or performance art.
Ah, not quite. The version you can download from their git repo is NOT the same as what is running if you have a hosting contract with them. And of all of the schools I know of that use Canvas (I'm the Canvas admin for the college I work for) none of them are using a self-hosted version. Not even the schools that have the resources to do so (University of Florida, UCF, etc - and I know the admins there too).
Same reason people use companies like 1and1 for webhosting or one of the companies that provide Big Blue Button instances - sure, anyone can get a VPS or a dedicated 'net connection and server machine(s) and install Linux, Apache, PHP, etc. and run a site or a mail server or BBB instance. All with Free (and free) code. But not everyone is an expert at doing it, or keepign it up and running, or configuring it just right, or integrating your authentication, or answering end-users support questions or....
And the same reason groups use vendors to host non-free stuff even when your license allows you to download and run a local version. The college I work for did it with our last learning management system - sure, we had a local instance, but it was used for testing API code, new features, confirming bugs and bug fixes the company announced, etc. Our students and instructors didn't even know about it - they only used the vendor hosted instance.
Nope, use it for all command line editing, working on remote systems, etc.
But... if I have a desktop session, I'm probably using Kate/Kwrite. With the konsole package installed, so I can have a terminal window right there at the bottom of my editor. Where I sometimes run joe for a quick peek at another file.
Eh, the wife wanted one. Doesn't take any more space than a regular drip coffee maker.
I got myself 4 of the "use your own grounds" cups, simply because a K-Cup only produces decent coffee when it is on the "small cup" setting. So you need to make 2 of 'em to get a decent cup of coffee. Average price, even with sales, etc. is 60 cents per kcup so $1.20 for one cup of coffee. A $5 container of grounds (10.something ounces by weight) I get about 2 weeks worth of coffee.
But The People as a whole gained from the improved transportation infrastructure. Not sure what gain for my tax dollars when it goes to paying someone not to work instead...
- Bill Gates was driving a porche when he started uni - back then Porches were rare as hen's teeth
Nope, not rare. Not expensive either. About 2x what an American car would run. I've got the receipt for the '65 356C coupe my dad bought new in July '65, and his out the door price with an aftermarket AC unit was $3700. A '65 Mustang would've cost him about $2000.
In the later '60s and early 70s there were the "budget" Porsches - the 912 and 914....
Now if he was driving a Carrera2 or one of the 30 901 badged cars (Porsche got sued, changed the model to 911), then yeah, rare.
Get a professional sounding/spelling domain and create your own emails on it. Get creative with your extended addressing and use that address only for job hunting. When you aren't on the hunt, either kill the address until you need it again or just send the mail it receives to/dev/null
This is a local-to-me company and I casually know one of the founders/owners. Since the message isn't "signed" and doesn't have a name attributed I can't say for sure if you are right or wrong... of course, even with his name on the message, it wouldn't be a "for sure" thing...

Too much of a pain to do all of that, at least for me. I simply route the various ad hosts I find annoying to 0.0.0.0 in my hosts file, and enjoy.

Because the Constitution says nothing cities, counties, or planned communities?
That the 2nd Amendment should really include crew served weapons?
I enjoyed my very first hangover on an early morning flight on a 727 "Whisper Jet". Whisper my ass...
Or a lot of shock porn like the goatse guy, etc
Well, at that point your organs, etc.
Oh hey, if things went all biometric whoever gets your (kidney|eyeballs|lungs|heart) could use your DNA to authenticate...
Yeah buddy, got a good liver for you, but it comes at a cost...
