The City of London was well within reason to ask them to look at whether one of their users was violating their terms, and all they had to do was say "no".

The one in Baltimore just installed its digital projector about a month ago. Coincidentally, I saw a (digital) documentary there about the history of drive-ins that claims there's a bit of a resurgence lately. It's called Going Attractions.
If MIT is at all serious about implementing any reforms to stop this kind of tragedy from happening again, it must stop objecting to the release of information about the case.
Which they will probably do, now that they got "ahead of the story."
It's really an end-around the ridiculously litigious society we live in. The kit isn't quite chemical free. It doesn't ship with any, but the experiments utilize common household chemicals.
Those robots will never fit inside a standard sized Suicide Booth so chances are they'll work in those factories until their little robot arms fall off;-)
Which will significantly reduce their suicide success rate. Problem solved!
Typically when a song is remixed or sampled, the copyright holders have given permission and are getting royalties.
I don't have figures, but no, not for the notable ones at least.
The artists and marketing guys know and encourage remixing, but it's not normally a contract situation. That often leads to conflicts with the RIAA in their 'super SWAT team' form. See this for example.
Oh yeah. My GF was an Edwards fan at that point. I had an earful of that.
I have a vague recollection that they (The MSM) would only name the top four-ish candidates. Not sure if that accounts for the Edwards disappearance.
they're the ones who completely ignored Ron Paul's existence
Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel, too.
True, but it was particularly obvious in Ron Paul's case, when he was getting vote tallies on par with Giulliani's in the early primaries and they refused to label Paul's wedge in their pie charts.
Now someone comes along and puts the smack down on the thugs you could not defeat or did not think it was even to your interest to try and fight. They also manage to return 70% of your losses to you. I suspect most people would be great full to get 70K refunded to them of 100K they thought they'd lost forever.
I don't find the lawyer's take on these types of things all that outrageous when you look at it objectively.
Unless "objectively" means "like a lawyer" I still don't see how a huge injustice has not been done. ("Injustice" is the opposite of "Justice." You may need to consult a dictionary.)
Or were neanderthals so cornered by humans that they resorted to cannibalism?
Misleading title...
Not really. There's several explanations for why that jawbone ended up the way it did, but it wouldn't likely be N-on-N cannibalism, since it ended up in a Cro-Mag settlement.
Judging from the absence of other bones, it could as easily have been scavenging, or opportunistic trophy collecting.
If you don't want people or groups or other sites to access your freely publicized data....don't put it out there where anyone can get it. Either keep it off the web or put it behind a 'wall' where only paying members can see it.
Paywalls don't work well, so why do that when they can coerce a revenue stream with lawsuits and/or petitions?

Eh, there's a fair number of power users who could step up in case of necessity. It's not just neckbeards and grandmas out there.
They could gas the rats...

Personally, I'm an an American and I consider you an idiot.
This is a known problem/solution. Adafruit sells a good converter.
South Jersey is a different planet from North Jersey.
Not Grar! enough. Same reason all the Pentagon flunkies are riding the Metro in camo.

You want to change the prison system? Introduce some rich people to it.

What, you don't expect them to simply copy legitimate data, do you?
Indeed. I'm sure everyone is scrambling to see if they have a patent that Apple hasn't licensed. Weee! Free market at its finest!
There is no 'Anonymous.' It's just a term that's been widely co-opted. Sort of like 'Al Qaeda.'

Ditto that. In the Mid-Atlantic, it's pretty good. From what I hear about NYC and the West Coast, not so much.

I laughed, anyway.
What did you say?

OTOH, it could come back to bite us.

If the Pirate Bay wrote a quick op-ed piece about every torrent they linked to, then they would be journalists and thus, protected.
But who's going to have the time to write reviews of so many feature films and their respective encode jobs?
If only they could harness some sort of free labor pool...
