You keep repeating this all over this story like you know something the rest of us dont.
Please explain to me how this guy is supposed to sue AMC, a company he has not had any direct contact with in the purchase of this "Season Pass"? AMC might be making the content, but Apple is selling it. If I buy an apple from the grocery store and get home to discover its plastic and not an actual apple, I dont ask the grocery store who they get their apples from, I go complain to the grocery store.
On August 14, 2011, AMC announced that Breaking Bad was renewed for a fifth and final season consisting of 16 episodes. Season five is split into two parts, each consisting of 8 episodes. The first half premiered on July 15, 2012, while the second half premiered on August 11, 2013.
Based on the term "Season Pass" I'd consider this to mean I get all 16 episodes of the season, as announced by AMC when they said it was the final season. Apple should be sued, because thats who the guy paid. If Apple was mislead i'd expect them to sue AMC. Stop acting like a fanboy of Apple. Its not like you can go to other sources for anything on an Apple product, so if course, they're the ones getting sued. Weather Apple was misleading or not is an open debate, since it depends on what Apple knew before labling it a "season pass" but you cant just asume they're innocent and cannot be sued because you like the company.
Based on what I can see, if I were the judge i'd throw a book at Apple, and quite possibly find a way to get AMC involved, because my lord this is a bad thing to let go unpunished.
Not that its this extreem, but if you have one area at -150F and another area at 150F, if you live between these two extreems you might call the average temp 0F. Problems arise when the wind changes direction and you go from freezing to death to frying to death. Either way you're dead.
Climate Change is a steady increase in average temp, yes some areas will get cooler, and others warmer, but the overall effect is more heat. More heat is a problem. They changed the term because people are too idiotic to understand that a general warming of the entire planet doesn't involve a steady warming on any given point on its surface.
No, its not indisputable, or proven beyond reasonable doubt. Its just been documented and argued about by people who specialize in the field for 30-40 years, and they keep saying the same thing. We're the problem.
Shoving your head in the sand might keep you from seeing the tsunami coming, but it wont keep you from drowning. You'll be on the first ones to go. To date, i've never seen any kind of scientific evidence that is any kind of strong indication that we're not causing significant change to weather paterns on the earth. Temps continue to rise, extreme weather continues to increase, carbon dioxide levels continue to soar, and extreem rainfall patterns in both directions continue their trending in the wrong way. So maybe they're assuming, but they're making the assumptions based on a huge volume of scientific evidence that backs their view.
What on earth are you babbling on about exactly? A bunch of religious nutters refused to get vaccinated, one of them go overseas and comes back with a disease, and they end up having an outbreak of a rare disease, because they didn't get the vaccine.
They didn't get measles because they're religious nutters, they got the disease because the followed a religious nutter who insisted that the vaccine would cause other issues, that it does not. Its directly related to their false belief, spurred by their religious leader. If that's not a 'religion' issue then i'm not sure what is. The fact that its spread from human to human contact has nothing to do with anything, other than its a disease.
It is pretty messed up, when people cant get off their soap box long enough to read what actually happened.
Or even worse, you did and still think this somehow reflects reality. In either case, you need a reality check. Just make sure you notify the IRS about it after you cash it.
As a Planetside 2 Player, I have no complaints about SOE. I played the original Planetside and I didn't care for them much at that time, but they do seem to listen to their player base well. Each game of course has a seperate team, I get the feeling SOE is more of a management company, with all these smaller game groups under them, unlike something like EA which rules with an iron fist.
I'd sugest keeping an open mind, maybe hang out in forums and follow up on it. If something comes up that starts sounding alarm bells you'll know what to do.
The whole "She started it!" argument sorta stopped working after about age 3, dont you think?
No, sadly its not just Taxi drivers who blab on their phones while driving. But if you're paying someone to drive you somewhere, and they're talking on the phone, applying makeup, reading a newspaper, or constructing a nuclear device while they drive you there, I dont see why you dont have a right to complain about this. Taxi drivers should be held to a higher standard, given they're being paid to do nothing but drive around. Frankly, everyone should be held to this particular standard however, why it's taking so long is beyond me.
Because we all know a massive global company like Google will never need to operate in a place like Oklahoma, right?
Sorry, being in business sometimes requires you work with people you really dont like. I dont see Google as supporting anything this idiot says, they're just stuck dealing with the idiot because the morons who live there keep voting for him. Clearly they like the guy, so what can you do? You cant just move everything because the current blow-hard in congress has some loonie ideas. Geez if thats how it worked we'd all be slapping rocks togeather trying to apease the rain gods.
And you can be sure this guy would be right there, insisting we're using the wrong rocks and that there isn't a rain problem, we can water our crops with the blood of heathen children from the next tribe over.
What i'm saying is I dont see how someone couldn't make a request to not be tagged in photos. This has nothing to do with jailing people for questioning Obama's heritage, that entire premis a massive straw man argument, that I would never make.
The entire premis of tagging a photograph is to make it easy to find specific people in a large array of pictures. That, in my mind, is an invasion of privacy that should be able to be opted out of. That said, i'd never argue that saying "Here is a picture of me and X, see!?" is illegal, again you're not reading what i'm typing and trying to put words in my mouth. You cant stop someone from speaking about you (freedom of speech, all that) though you may be able to bring lible charges against them if they are lying about you. This is very different from tagging you in a photograph. In one instance, you're speaking to a single instance, a single picture. In the other, you're indexing a name against a massive array of pictures. If you cant see the difference, well im sorry but you're an idiot.
Best part about this is it seems like we agree more or less, you just seem hell-bent to insist that im against you for some reason.
That's like arguing someone is allowed to punch you in the face without repercussion because you cant tell that other person what to do.
When it comes to something that is directly related to self, you are perfectly able to tell someone else what to do. Yes, you can tag me in a photo, or no you cannot tag me in a photo.
Rights to one self take presidence over someone else. You have the right to speak, I have the right to not listen. You have the right to protest, I have the right to counter-protest. You have the right to bear arms, I have the right to not allow your weapons in my store/on my property. See how this works? In general, problems arise because people cant seem to figure this very simple concept out.
Now, being this is on facebook, technically speaking its their rights, not yours, or the person you're tagging, but I think you can still make a fair argument that someone sould be able to opt-out of getting tagged in photos. Cant really prevent someoen from them posting "check out this picture of me and X, Y and Z!" however, so the same problem will still exist, just not as easy to find (yet...)
The best part about the fashion thing, is this is why women are not as inclined to go into a field like this. All the men around them think they're more worried bout breaking a nail and treat them as such.
They're literally reinforcing the very problem they've set out to 'solve'.

What is backing yours?
Oh please, my old Windows NT box would shut down so fast it would do so before you even fully booted the system.

Why do American students have such gigantic textbook bills?
Because (some) teachers like to write books. I wish I was kidding.
Hahaha the sun burped at us!
Wait...wait if the comet hit one side of the sun...and the CME came from th...the oth..
Oh god...

There have been many studies that show that driving with a phone in your ear is a stupid idea.
All these yokles did is prove it doesn't matter if its 'free minutes' time or not.
In your blind rage you failed to take note that 'Astroid' is an actual word, and a spell checker wont actually help anyone in this situation.
If they could retain that which comes analy we wouldn't be having this problem in the first place.
The whole "She started it!" argument sorta stopped working after about age 3, dont you think?

So only professionals would want to run Android apps on a tablet? Good to know, thanks Microsoft!
... if they're fracking it?
The end of your first paragraph didn't quite end how I was expecting it to upon first reading it...i'm thankful for this.

Company acts in own self-interest, news at 11.
Pretty sure something can be considered 'weird' and still a 'fact of life'.
It's weird because its not something you would expect to be true, on a scale we normally work with such a thing is impossible.
Seems like the only one who doesn't belong here in slashdot, is you.
My odds of being struck by lighting while playing golf are also very rare these days. Doesn't make it a good idea.

Results I got were quite a bit different.
"She sat down at the kitchen table and discussed the morning news"
Didn't see Mandarin as an option, but Yiddish was an interesting result.
"They Sat by the kitchen table and discussed the morning's news" I guess "sat" is a proper noun in yiddish or something. :)
