Not in this case! There's only more money if the publisher puts more money in the "pool" - otherwise, the amount of that pool you get is smaller and smaller the more authors are added to it.
" CloudFlare has announced that they're giving all users (free and paid) protection from said attacks with their services." - and there's the meat of this whole post. Like the "Unprecedented DNS attacks" from a couple of weeks ago, if you follow the trail of this article it is nothing but a press release from CloudFlare designed to whip everyone into a frenzy and buy their product to protect them. - 90,000 hosts? Haven't we seen attacks with half a million or more hosts?
FeedDemon will still work as a standalone desktop app after GR shuts down, you just won't be able to sync article read/starred status across multiple systems, but it appears not work with Windows 8 and as noted above there will be no further development
Dvorak was NOT referring to the lawsuits that have been filed by the **AA for the last couple of years. Cast your mind back just few years prior to that..
Does the term "Napster" ring a bell? The "original" p2p application? The one that was eventually forced to shut down by Metallica, Dr. Dre, etc? THOSE are the lawsuits he's referring to.
Prior to Napster (and the massive press coverage the lawsuits garnered), I would not be surprised to learn that the only people who were even aware of the terms MP3, file sharing or p2p could probably all be found here on./ Once the lawsuits hit the press, almost everyone with a computer had at least one bit of filesharing software on it (and, depending on the p2p application, became another system on somone's botnet).
The cover article of the print issue that contained this was "The New Atheism: No Heaven. No Hell. Just Science. Inside the crusade against religion" - and then they have an article based on some woo-woo bullshit...
Um, if you'd have done just a smidgeon of research, you'd realize that Newegg didn't let you down - your state government let you down.
Newegg didn't have a choice in charging tax in NJ. Their HQ's in NJ, NJ statutes REQUIRE mail-order/catalogue businesses with physical presences in NJ to collect sales tax on all purchases made by NJ residents. Same for Tennessee - Newegg has a distribution warehouse here in Memphis and is required by state law to collect TN sales tax for all sales to TN residents.
So don't blame NewEgg - blame the politicians who passed the statute.
But hey, don't let anything like the LAW get in the way of a good slam, eh?

Asking "would you like fries with that?", I figure you're OK not giving 2 weeks notice.

It doesn't matter - the thing BT is NOT mentioning is that they're forcing Brent out of the company

I think that says more about the quality of that particular movie than the novelty of the concept...

Regardless of the musical genre, us REAL nerds still call that filking.
