Oh, I have to turn the keys and the car in on my way out. They are a tangible property. By the same account, I'm not allowed to use these passwords any more.
"Mr Jones, hand over the password to Bob. He will take up the job after you pass them, and your contract will be terminated then." - that works. You just given an order to an employee, enrolling a person on the authorized list.
"Mr Jones, you're fired, effective immediately. Hand over the passwords to Bob." - to which the obvious answer is "If you fired me then I'm not working here and you are no longer my boss. You can't order me any more or make any demands."...remember, when upgrading busybox while working under busybox, first make a fully working local copy of the new one, only then delete the old one. mv/nfs/busybox/bin/ ; chmod a+x/bin/busybox will result in/bin/chmod: permission denied and you being royally fucked.
The USA is pretty liberal about this, and the contract has a very firm binding power, allowing the seller to disclaim many liabilities and request a whole lot from the buyer.
The EU has pretty strong customer protection laws. A contract can claim a lot of bullshit but it can't override these laws and they are binding - and you can't disclaim them by a contract. Yes, there is no problem that you demand I click "I agree there is no warranty, I agree not to reverse-engineer, I agree you are entitled to change these terms without notice with no compensation", and I have no problem clicking it. It has no legal bearing. The best the manufacturer can do is to bullshit and coerce the customers into believing the EULA is binding. Nope, it's null and void wherever overridden by consumer laws.
Well, that's all right except a laptop isn't a lego brick. If the whole software was running in the small controller "brick" that controls the motors, no laptop needed, I'd agree this robot was "all LEGO".
Possibly. Opera Mini for Android is a mistake. It being fast is about the only redeeming feature. Zero system integration. Change screen orientation and the page needs to reload. You can't set it as a browser of choice for other apps like barcode scanner or local search.
It loads goddamned ages and takes way too much RAM. You could say it should be no problem because it loads once? Well, nope. No system integration = no clipboard. So you have to switch to the GPS app, memorize one coordinate, switch to Opera, type it in. Switch back to GPS app, memorize the other coordinate, switch to Opera... oops, it got unloaded and now it needs to load. Whaever you entered is gone. You forgot the second coordinate by the time it loaded. So you go back to the GPS app and memorize the first coordinate again... you see where I'm going...
I gave it a fair chance, I really did use it for quite a while. But sorry, both the built in browser and Dolphin are vastly better.
SCO: Linux violates our copyrights on UNIX! IBM: No, it does not. Not a single line infringes on UNIX Novell: Wait, what? We own copyright on UNIX. SCO: Your honor, we are unable to pursue the lawsuit against Linux infringing upon our rights to UNIX because we don't have them, Novell does. Could you force them to hand these rights over to us so that we could continue suing Linux?
The second one increases the number of offenses that go without consequence from 2 to 2*[branches of the ISP] It's the ISP that has to cut off, and they count offenses per branch. So if they transfer you to another branch upon receiving a second notice, you have clean account with the new branch. (and you could have signed away the right to transfer your account like that in the contract)
Of course this won't work with very massive offenders, but suddenly a 3-strikes law becomes a 37-strikes law or something.
Find a color printer of comparable price. Not -as- cheap, but say, return on investment after 4 sets of cartridges. The problem is people want the option of printing in color, and color laser printers cost arm and leg.
They will also have to destroy any cargo truck within 500 miles of Mexico border. And the attackers can bring this right to the middle of USA, like Chicago easily. All they need is to fill the empty space in the container with marijuana.
A disgruntled scientist is all that is needed to transfer loads of tech.
Actually, a dud missile is all that is needed. A plane falls, or the missile fails to explode - and the enemy has a complete (albeit faulty) guidance system in their hands.
The shit printer manufacturers put us through. Smaller ink cartridges, no refill, timed killswitch, DRM, "need ink to scan" and the shit of "cheap printer, expensive cartridges" they put us through. People see it and avoid it. They realize a page printed in the home printer is about $0.50, so a booklet of 50 pages will be $25. I have no qualms printing 100 pages at $0.03 per page on my old laser printer. But I see how people wince when an ink printer spits out a full-color test page at a wrong press of a button. And endless problems - drying up ink, printers failing and so on.
Take a step back towards printers with reasonable cost per page, and the paper sales will increase...
The seller spent a pretty long time in the bar asking the patrons and the barman about the phone. He made it pretty certain this was a found item, not a stolen one and went to quite a bit of lengths to find the owner, and has a bunch of witnesses to confirm it.
Then the article sounds like another case of "it's worse because it isn't the same".
I remember an Open Office review where it was bashed for doing things differently from MS Office. Like, if you want the page to be in Landscape mode, why would you ever go to Layout > Page, instead of the obvious File > Print Properties?
Many functions require a press of the menu button to bring up a list of options, whereas on the iPhone there would be a button on the screen. Wait, so that's a "menu key on the phone" vs "menu button on the screen" and the physical key is more cumbersome?
I'd think they would be pretty much equivalent except for tactile feedback and screen real estate.
6088x2276 @ 30FPS... you'd need almost 4x the performance.
SLI doesn't scale up by n cards = n times the performance. There is overhead so 3 cards won't be 3x faster than 1. FPS don't scale up 2x the speed = 2x the FPS. There are bottlenecks - RAM, disk, bus. The FPS can go up a bit then hit a wall.
Maybe, just maybe your setup will barely reach the stated requirements. Not "easily", and with no room to spare. Then consider the article author's point: the resolution should be the standard, the norm. Not a deLuxe option for the chosen, just every grandma's desktop monitor.
And then consider the price of the gamers' setup you suggested, and what percent of users could afford it.

It's a matter of sequence of actions though.

Then it comes slowly in a few days and crashes into a car ;)
That would be understandable.
Depends on laws the contract is based in.

I'm guessing the correlation between using floppies and using IE6 is very high.

Apple denies thousands of apps a month, for trivial reasons. I assure you this would not get any attention for getting denied.
There is one problem... if you did what your boss told you and shit hits the fan, your boss will deny everything and the blame will be on you anyway.

Someone should spray obscenities on the wall of the judge's house.
Then someone else should sue him for providing the space...

nope, doesn't ring a bell.
From 6088x2276 to 6000x4000 you'd need 2x.
From 30FPS to 60FPS you'd need another 2x.
I guess less than half of 1% of all corporate customers are customers of McAffee.
The right wording is everything.
6088x2276 @ 30FPS...
