You're being purposefully obtuse. It's more like a woman wants to drive to a restaurant to have some pie and ice cream. AT&T is saying you can drive on our to street to our restaurant for all the pie you could want, but if you want to drive down our street and get on the interstate to go to the next exit where Netflix is selling pie AND ice cream because they have a different flavor of pie we don't have and we just don't do ice cream, well, you only get X amount of trips, then we're changing you extra.
The author does in fact owe his or her readers to a certain extent.
100% disagreement on this. Being a fan does not give you one ounce of rights towards the author (or any other artist). You pay and get the book; this is the complete transaction. Everything beyond this is voluntary service from the author. CU, Martin
But, you are obligated to TELL ANYBODY that will sit still for three seconds, that "No, you should start reading his books. He's never going to finish." A good author gets a little bit more than his cut of that complete transaction, he also gets recommendations to other to read or not read his work. I stopped recommending Jordan when it was clear he had no ending to his series.
Funny how they big difference that immediately leaped out at me was completely glossed over by the writer. 13 students in a class? What the hell? Where are the other 20 kids that would be in the US class?
But let's ban them because writing offers better recall and less personal distractions.
Does it now? Writing notes with one hand offers better recall than typing notes using both hands? And you are basing this on what exactly? I am genuinely curious.
You didn't watch the movie. The "little guy" wasn't Amazon, it was the small independent book store. B&N was a big fish that ate the little fish (Independents and smaller chains) , and is now poised to be eaten by bigger fish (Target, Walmart, Amazon).

It wasn't soft, wet sand. The others built a runway of stone. They even made Kate and Sawyer work on it when they weren't making out in the bear cage. Which leads to the whole, if bear cages are so romantic, why do they have such a hard time getting panda to reproduce.
Guaranteed come hell or high water? My experience says no. Sure, you don't go to the same call center in Hyderabad that the DSL people go, but the failure point is WELL before hell or high water.
Yeah, dominance of space, cause the U.S. was proactive and went there first... oh wait, what about sputnik and Yuri Gagarin? That's right, space dominance was reactive. Maybe not such a good example?
You haven't really given this enough thought. Those 1,300 customers had their information transmitted in the clear. It didn't just go from the sending computer at the bank straight into the gmail account. There were hops along the way. Those 1,300 customers information has been exposed all over the place. Any one of those 1,300 customers that does not change their account information after that is a fool.
Disabling the gmail account of the innocent bystander was security theater. It did nothing to actually improve security, it's just showmanship.
By "waste" I assume they mean nuclear waste. What about waste heat problems, that had several power plants running at considerably reduced levels because of drought conditions in the south east?
And of course, those who buy the stolen property will protect yon Robin Hood from the vile Sheriff of Notingham... OR, they'll be moderately pissed about the money they gave the crook for the merchandise they had to surrender because it was stolen, and tell the police exactly how to find said Robin Hood.

Yeah, except you have it completely backward, so not really.

Didn't anybody else read the title and figure the site was forcing a delay in the copyright infringements, so they didn't all occur at once?
...Apple should allow them to get at it via a native app instead of suffering a potentially buggier, less secure browser-based experience.
This is so terribly wrong headed.

...magnetic North points to YOU!
But because you aren't "IN" the office, the perception, particularly at raise time, will be that you aren't working as much.
Are you kidding? Or are so young as to have not been in the workforce in 1999?
Damn! I thought I was going to finally find out why they were on the island.
Round monitors? How will you compare monitors? Surface aread?
Following in the footsteps of drive manufacturers, monitor manufactures will declare Pi as rounded to 3.5 or maybe 4 for marketing purposes.
But they are all geared to fight off giant, fire-breathing, building-stomping lizard incursions and not zombie apocalypses.

"I said something I knew was going to offend people..."
Actually, what you said didn't so much offend as not make much sense in the context of the previous post. Let me show you.
Cyberkahn: "The U.S. is reactive and not proactive..."
santax: "...The us reactive? I am very sorry, maybe in the US you think that..."
So, are you trying to say that the U.S. IS proactive?
