It's not a hard decision; just nuke it and move on with your life. What the message here is; if this is such a soul rendering thing for anyone, just one plain good reason not to buy refurbed drives. I never do, I always get new ones, there's really no good reason to buy a refurb. You know that by default the drive is going to have a shorter lifespan than a new one, and the price on drives isn't that horribly expensive. I frankly don't see a good reason to buy a refurb.
Sword collectors are one thing, a Jedi instructor is... well, just kinda weird. You can't really train with an actual light saber, and you can't really choke people from a distance. Which only really leaves Ninja skills. So the best the guy can be is a a Ninja instructor, really.
when you don't show up the judge or jury is more than likely to rule against you.
Sure, but in this case I think Lee is only being brought in as an expert witness, isn't he? He doesn't have to worry about any ruling. Still a waste of the man's time, in my opinion.
Meanwhile, Berners-Lee, one of the guys who actually invented the internet, and probably couldn't care any less about all the legal nonsense, has to get dragged into court to testify. What a waste of time for the poor guy.
Well, let's backtrack 10 years or so, maybe a little less, and entire businesses were being founded on the design of virtual clothing for avatars in Second Life. Didn't understand it then, still don't now.
I don't normally go to google to search youtube, but I have noticed relevant results from time to time and have used the link, resulting in a very good find.
The #1 reason why the US was quickly ruled out as my holiday destination this year is because of the horror stories like this.
You're overreacting. You act like this is some kind rule of travel here. Yes, we will be targeting YOU, and only YOU, because you all know who you are and want to fuck with YOU. BS. We don't need you here anyway.
So if you don't give a fuck about rules, the police hopefully will fuck with you. And I approve.
Hopefully. So, just having a huge police force wanking about fucking with people at random is your solution to your feelings of helpless rage at other drivers who MAY fuck with you? In my case the threat of litigation is much more an effective deterrent to smashing about and causing mayhem than anything the police have ever done to me. The only thing that cops have ever done to me/for me/with me is issue me tickets and generally waste my time. All that has done is piss me off and make me want to avoid cops.
I find it difficult to understand how "Linux", being a loose consortium of code trees under no one's direct control, not even Torvalds', and who's chief product everyone has the source code to, would be in any position to suddenly pull some kind of magic lever and induce all users to start paying a license fee.
Did you see the illustration in the article? The two main chip packages are pictured on the end of a guy's index finger. Sure, people like to difficult things, but come on! If you're not using the proper ($20,000 +) machine tools you're rate of failure is going to be +/- 90%... just buy the production package, for your own sanity man.
Why is it that the most popular girl at the dance is usually the biggest douchebag?
And the German Court's solution to all this reminds me of the "Bells" episode of Black Adder; When Edmund consults the Wise Woman on how to keep his love for "Bob" secret for fear of (mistakenly) being outed, she gives him three options: 1) kill Bob; 2) commit suicide; or 3) go ahead and sleep with Bob and, to ensure no one ever finds out, kill everyone in the entire world.
I think you need to make an appointment with your witch doctor, your bodily humors appear to be out of balance and I think a gnome is dancing on your spleen.
Didn't the US shortly after WWII transfer Nazi researchers to the US and gave them a new identity because their knowledge & research could help the US gain a global advantage? How is that not a "Nazi land"?
Using Nazi scientists makes the US Nazis like using a makes one a mass murderer. Ok... or; perhaps we'd be better off if we swore off any technology that was used by anyone who did anything bad. Ever.
So what? The world is heading to MORE digital data usage, not less, that's a fact. And the prices for use are going to drop, that's also a fact. Maybe NTT DoCoMo needs to up their capacity, not worry about throttling it so much. Words all providers need to take to heart.

You don't need me their either. And yes, you target everyone. Your country has become a fascist regime.
1) I've found people who say that are usually calling the kettle black, 2) They are usually jealous.

I'm with ya on most of your points, but you act like pro-Linux news is a bad thing.

I think the motto should "Do no evil, unless it interferes with our business model."

Its just another game I won't be buying. I don't need their game to thrive in this world.
You get: two thumbs waaay up.
Still waiting on my jet pack... (tap tap...)
"A laser is coherent light? So it talks?"
That's what I'm talking about. More public transpo.
but you just cannot stop others believing in their religion.
Are you implying Alexander Aan was doing this by putting his opinion on line? How in the world does that work?
"Atheism is a belief system" is a definition born of an American cultural background...
Huh? WTF does an "American belief system" have to do with the definition of Atheism?
No, I'm afraid that what we REALLY need is a good, old-fashioned American Sulla...
You do realize that Sulla, while beneficent, provided the groundwork for Caesar's rise? The world's first true Dictator?
