But NASA has no claim on the moon as the first there.
Actually, I thought it was the US government (through NASA) renouncing their right to the moon that set in motion the current state of affairs. Because we weren't always greedy assholes.
The Outer Space Treaty was signed by the United States on January 27, 1967 and ratified by the USA on October 10, 1967. Apollo 11 landed on the moon on July 20, 1969.
Right. The court ruled that the copyright was never valid. Now the question is whether Warner will have to repay millions in royalties that they extorted with their false claims.
It depends.
If Warner filed a case against you and you settled out of court, probably not. You did, after all, settle.
If Warner filed a case and actually won in court, you might be able to appeal based on this "new evidence".
I find it oddly funny that China doesn't want to buy our "contaminated" garbage, but is perfectly happy to ship us products contaminated with lead and other toxic stuff.
That is the Chinese recycling program at work. Ship all their toxic crap to the US in the form of contaminated products and then when the US ships it back as "recyclables" deny it entry because it is contaminated with toxic crap.
There are no volunteers, or tanks or war in Free Russian republic of Ukraine. This report and all reports like it, and photos are evil conspiracy made by Mr President Obama to destroy Russia and kill her beautiful children. And I am not paid to make comments like these! I enjoy technology news for nerds very much.
Looks like Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf has a new job.
For the weekend? Rent an SUV. The problem isn't that you go on a weekend trip with it: it's that you drive it to the store every day.
Rent an SUV? That's your solution? So I should spend an extra $200 (3 day rental + tax & fees) every time I want to take a trip in addition to my monthly car payment just to make you happy?
Sorry bub,
I'm just not that invested in your happiness.
As someone pointed out a comment on the Forbes story, this exploit can only affect you if you are getting DNS through the router.
Simply using a static IP & DNS for your computer on your local network would make you immune to this. In situations where using a static IP is not possible (a friend's house, public wifi, etc.) just set your DNS servers statically and you should be fine.
The IOC could just declare that anyone wearing the UVEX logo would be banned from all Olympic venues. It may not hold up in court but by the time the case was heard the games would be over and UVEX would have lost a ton of free(ish) advertising.
As such I doubt UVEX wants to outright defy the IOC.
If this place is like every indian casino I've ever been to there is a little label somewhere near where you put the money in that says some variation of Malfunction voids all pays. Doesn't seem like much but it would appear to be enforceable.
A better option would be to attack the casino in the court of public opinion. Call the local Action News, write an op-ed in the local paper. Find out where their player base is and saturate that area with sob stories about how the "damn indians ripped you off." Eventually they may pay you something just to end the bad press.
Not everywhere it doesn't. In my country (USA) the roads are funded by a tax on gasoline. That means that a car (which pays the tax) has a right to be there. Your bike, not so much.
In 10 years, when we're all required to have GPS for our mile tax you can possibly say this, but not now.
WoW isn't an expensive passtime in terms of cost, but it's probably one of the most expensive passtimes in the geek community in terms of lost opportunity cost. Imagine what problems could have been solved with the number of hours sunk into WoW.
Obviously.
Why, in the time the average geek spends playing WoW in a month they could watch half their anime collection and that would still leave them time to make a dozen more tweaks to their facebook page.
And the tweets, oh god think of all the additional tweets.

The treaty definitely came first.

Everybody uses the word crisis when their concerns are being addressed. Budget Crisis. Immigration Crisis. Housing Crisis.
You make it sound like we have a "Crisis" Crisis.

It's genius really, if you think about it.

Uh huh, good old separate but equal...
Welcome to the 21st Century.
Governor Wallace would be so proud.
I'd create a "Black Pot" award and send it to people - especially politicians and people with political aspirations like Fiorina.
The trouble is, Congress would bankrupt the organization in a month.
Who says you'd have to buy all the pots yourself. I can think of 5-10 I wouldn't mind paying for.
Ok.
This one is damn good.
Bill, we know it's you.
O'Reilly or Clinton?
Warning: Some shrinkage may occur.
It's the usual bait-and-switch, as soon as they have the money, why not take the life as well?
If you kill a man today, he'll be dead tomorrow. But, if you rob a man today, he'll get more money that you can steal from him tomorrow.
Congratulations, you no longer have Asperger's. You're now just Autistic. Have fun with that stigma.
Everyone is asking the wrong sort of questions.
What we should be asking: How secure are these HFT systems from outside manipulation? If I wrote a HFT system to manipulate other HFT systems...
Sounds about right. Should pop around the end of December.
Say hi to Ryumyo for me.
All the COBOL programmers I know are in forced retirement, and can't even get work at $25/hr.
Really?
Send me their contact info. My employer is currently paying finder fees for new PA & SA hires.
You're either being funny, trolling, or an idiot.
Why can't they be all three?

The IOC could do much worse than sue.

Nah, G.I. Joe was interested in G.I. Joe these days. But don't bother asking, he won't tell.

And that's related to the OP or article how?
You must be new here.
The road belongs to all of us
Not everywhere it doesn't. In my country (USA) the roads are funded by a tax on gasoline. That means that a car (which pays the tax) has a right to be there. Your bike, not so much.
In 10 years, when we're all required to have GPS for our mile tax you can possibly say this, but not now.
the bikes generally do 20-30 MPG going down the road.
Now you have me curious. A gallon of what exactly?
