The Turks have never been allergic to the idea of genocide. Just look at the Ottoman genocide of ethnic Armenians during WWI. I'm sure if the Turkish government thought it could get away with it, it would kill every Kurd it could find
Ironically, the Armenian genocide was mainly carried out by ethnic-Kurdish Turkish troops. The Kurds have, however, acknowledged their role while the Turks still refuse to admit it ever happened.
groups like IS who are boasting of their long term plans to make use of refugee movement, and just used it to send to mass killers into Paris (were you paying attention?).
Were you paying attention? French authorities have definitively stated that all the Paris attackers were French or Belgian nationals - not a single one was a refugee.
I recommend this: http://www.jide.com/en/mini - it's an Android device with HDMI out, 2X USB, Ethernet, WiFi and Bluetooth. Works great as a device for Amazon Video/HBO/Hulu (Netflix is broken, but a patch is due within the next week or two). It has a local filesystem, and all the Android apps are available for it.
Or you can be a dick, not lend anything out, and not enrich the lives of those around you. Just remember, what goes around comes around.
What if those around you have zero interest in the things you have to lend (whether it's music, books, etc.), because their tastes are all completely different?
Problem is, the Berne Convention sets copyright terms at life + 50 years - with member nations having the right to increase those terms. So, life+50 is about the minimum we're ever going to see, unless we want to throw out the Berne Convention. If we do that, of course, no other nation is obligated to recognize US copyrights.
The Berne Convention also says copyright is vested upon creation of the work, with no registration required.
Mid to late 19th century: the Otis safety elevator. Made buildings over 5 stories high possible, thus making high-density cities possible and accelerating the shift of population from rural to urban.
So run rsyslog - anything logged to journald after rsyslog starts gets written to/var/log/messages - just like before. You can even tweak your unit files to start rsyslog as soon as your disks are mounted.
At which point, they'll throw lots of money at the critters in congress who are writing the tax laws so that they include a few nice, shiny & new loopholes to get their net income below whatever threshold you, or anyone else, proposes.
This is why corporations should be taxed on gross income, just like individuals. I don't get to deduct all my customary living expenses before paying tax on the balance of my income - if corporations are people (spit) why should they get to do so?
You do realize, right, that the facility in Benghazi was not an embassy, but a consulate? By international treaty, embassies are "sovereign territory", but consulates are not. It would have been illegal to have US military personnel guarding the Benghazi consulate, and it would have been illegal to send US military to its "rescue" without permission of the host country.
The worst part of the reporting, and what nobody really wants to talk about, is the reason that the county and state pressured TMT for a 1-week hiatus - this is the week of the Merrie Monarch Hula Festival in Hilo, a time when hula halau (schools) from all over the state and several other places all converge on the Big Island. There's no way local authorities wanted to have images of 13-yr-old girls in hula costumes being arrested on the Maunakea summit. Bad for tourism, ya know...
The reason there are no cities nearby is that the mountaintop is at 13000+ ft (3400m). Not many people want to live that high up. And, to the parent, there is no "bowl" at the summit of Maunakea - it's mostly cinder cones.
The primary reasons for wanting to be on Maunakea are (1) average over 240 clear nights per year and (2) you are above most of the atmospheric water vapor.
Not only complain, but every time you make a purchase from any of these merchants: http://www.mcx.com/ be sure and use a credit card so they'll have to pay the processing fees. They want to gather customer information with a direct connection to our bank accounts? Fuck 'em.
The original impetus for franchise agreements was to enable the manufacturers to just produce vehicles, while pushing the task of finding buyers for them off onto the dealers. When some manufacturers later wanted to start direct sales, the franchised dealers, who are often socially or politically connected and powerful, fought for the exclusionary laws.
If the RIAA/MPAA had their way entirely, you'd have to pay a fee each time you listen to it. That's where they'd like to go, and will keep pushing their tame legislators to get there.
As I understand it (and IANAL), child pornography is one area in which mens rea does not apply - the creation, possession, or distribution of images determined to be CP is grounds for conviction, regardless of intent. It's fucked up, but there you go...

Heck, why not just 3D print your friend a copy. If you just give them a copy to use, no concern if they ever return it ;)
But, that would violate copyright! What are you suggesting, he should become some kind of pirate?!

Then, you don't have a problem.
This is why corporations should be taxed on gross income, like individuals. And, they should pay the same rate as individuals.

Would you damn birthers just STFU already? Furrfu.
Except they didn't buy the Stingrays until a year later. Thank you for playing.

Maybe because the country is fundamentally tilted that way?

Is that so hard?
