Because if they don't want the recording being seen they can claim it was "off" or "broken" at the critical moment. So it only really records footage that's in their favour.
That's the card I used to use for business expenses. Claim it back from the company and pocket the 1.5%. I've changed jobs and no longer use expenses much so I cut the card up.
Just as an aside - it's also worth joining hotel "clubs" and picking up free weekends away which are untaxable too.
A big part of the problem is that any change to the UI inevitably causes a lot of complaining - often times not really justified because it's simply a matter of people getting used to the new.
Unfortunately these "hipsters" (as you call them) extrapolate this to the assumption that *all* complaints about a new UI are unjustified and would go away if users would just take the time to become accustomed to it.
This and (as others have pointed out) the inexplicable compulsion they feel to "tabletize" every UI.
And even if they could lose their job wouldn't that be preferable to a few years in prison for beating someone to death. Body cams seem a good idea but they'll be "malfunctioning" at the moment when the police were accused of misbehaviour. Darren Wilson's squad car had a sound recording system so when he shot Michael Brown . . . "malfunctioning".
Whilst I agree with you in general - about intellectual property and blowjobs if not the rest (fyi, no need to be gay to appreciate blowjobs).
The problem isn't so much that Groupon want to use the same name, but more that because of the ridiculous legal situation. If you don't "defend" your trademark you lose it and eventually you'll be in the situation of having Groupon stop you using "Gnome" because now it's their trademark.
There is effectively no censorship on the internet now so whatever you say can result in criticism and attacks of any kind whoever you are. Obviously trolls will pick on the form of attack that generates the most outrage, that's what trolls do. If you can't take a mature attitude to it then don't get involved. Trying to censor the internet is:
a) impossible b) damaging to everybody's interests
The solution is twofold: to charge those issuing DMCA notices for the necessary checks to make sure the notice is correct/legal and to issue substantial fines for incorrect/illegal DMCA notices.
I dont always agree with Resa Aslan but he's right about this so ust for the sake of correctness:
FGM is not a particularly Muslim phenomenon. It's pretty much limited to those Muslims that inhabit north-eastern and central sub-Saharan Africa. It is almost unknown in most other Muslim majority countries (except for immigrants from the aforementioned regions).
It's also very common among Christian and other religious groups in the same area, so FGM really seems to be linked to the culture in just that geographical region rather than to any religious grouping.
Nothing, but then what Bono is most famous for these days is being a massive dick head.
Can't be pirated, really?
Shove a cutlass up his ass and he'll sing.
Jews and Christians don't claim the bible was actually "dictated" by god but they do claim it was "divinely inspired" which can mean all sorts of things but often something very close to dictation.
And although big chunks of the New Testament were almost certainly written in greek other big chunks were almost certainly written in aramaic. The reason this is so virulently denied in some quarters is that the oldest texts we have are greek and therefore translations not perfect copies of the originals. A big problem for some believers although others will simply claim the translators were also "divinely inspired".
So whether Global Warming is real or not, fear of it has influenced everything from automobile to refrigerator designs to become more "earth friendly". That's a good thing in my book....
Yeah screw all the plebs who died unnecessarily because money that could have been spent on health care, research, foreign aid, etc was spent on emission targets to combat global warming "real or not".
You leave a veritable trail of fingerprints (and DNA and a host of other things we don't want to talk about here) everywhere
Yes but it's very expensive and time consuming to get DNA/Fingerprints/etc that you can reliably tie to an individual unless they can be persuaded to volunteer.
Nobody cares about a single fingerprint
The UK police have been testing a roadside fingerprint scanner which works of a single print (it's not as accurate as a full all finger scan) so a single print is certainly of interest to them.

It's not even good animatronics.

Only a tard would be using Gedit anyway, learn to use a decent text editor like Gvim.
i doubt it is bribing and you are probably just using the wrong word
The correct euphemism today is "making political donations".
bribing is illegal
Not if it's done in the form of a political donation.

Talking about raping or killing someone isn't offensive speech, it's threatening to do bodily harm, which is illegal you dumb shit.
So report it to the police then and stop bothering the rest of us.
Dumb shit.

I'm sure if you want to copy his website, perhaps by downloading it to your computer so you can view it in a browser - he'll have no objection.

There may be a worldwide campaign but I think this guy is merely a copyright industry whore.

Jeebus NASA give it a rest can't you - you've been and looked and there ain't no life on Mars - just let it go already.
I don't know about GCHQ but Special Branch and MI5 are actually worse (or at least as bad) as paedophiles. see here
These are the ones who enjoy the smell of their own farts.
I thought everyone enjoyed that.
But do you have evidence he was speeding in every state - he could have been speeding in some states but not others and still averaged the same.

Then they've been failing to comply with their own standards - but I don't believe you.

"all pretense of defending against terrorism will be gone" How dumb can you be? Don't you know the Occupy movement ARE terrorists. Try to keep up!
