In what way was it "wrong?" The C&D likely came from a legal firm hired to police their trademarks, without any prior knowledge of IKEA.
When IKEA got involved, the site was allowed to keep the name, with a disclaimer and for non-commercial use. That means no ads - most of which seem to be for items made for use with IKEA offerings, and which IKEA might consider to be competitive.
Seems perfectly reasonable to me. The site owner is complaining because he can't fund his site (or make a profit?) by selling ads.
"What is the point of even having a military if that military requires good relationships with all other powerful nations on Earth to continue to function."
To redistribute money from common taxpayers to military-industrial complex corporations.
Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United States corporations.
This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence -- economic, political, even spiritual -- is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
Why not simply let the parents (customers/taxpayers) decide, instead of locking them into a bad teacher who's only qualification is having been employed for a certain period? Tenure is more suited to higher education, where topics are more subjective than the fundamentals taught in compulsory school.
I'd guess your're Brit (? - "neighbourhood "), but this article is in relation to the US.
It may on rare occasion occur, but I don't think a teacher who changes their teaching style to suit an individual student is in much danger of being dismissed because they lack tenure.
In the US, tenure is more related to union/protectionism than to academic freedom.
"people love to make up absurd circumstances for why we need strict government control over certain things"
Seems to me that strict government control over government funded education (i.e. public schools) is legitimate. I await your argument as to why it's not.
Overpaying by 20X makes you much cooler than overpaying by 10X. The metric is bragging rights, not actual performance, and definitely not some cost/benefit analysis.
Any bank that isn't a ripoff (and assuming that you don't have the worst credit in the world) offers zero liability for fraudulent purchases. Given that checks are tedious to write and process
You fail to mention the full, tedious process for reporting fraudulent card transactions, and getting them reversed. Whenever I've had to do it (recently, almost yearly), There are records to review, paperwork to fax, etc. to confirm what charges are legit and which aren't.
It's a wash in effort between dealing with cards and checks, in my experience. Cards for online purchases, checks for paying most recurring bills (I really don't trust most enterprises to automatically draw from a debit account). That's what's convenient for me.
If you only have to change 3 accounts when a card is replaced, I'd bet you're exceptional (on the low side).
"exercising a clearly established First Amendment right when she attempted to film the traffic stop in the absence of a police order to stop filming or leave the area."
Now the cops will simply say "move along" before arresting you.
But you obviously don't know patent lawyers, who have far, far more time to describe something with deliberately obfuscating gibberish.
Since you're obviously not from the real world, you might also take some time to read more things written using colloquial language, where exaggeration to make a point is often found. It might help you to separate the actual argument being made from the literal words.
"you have 2 minutes to review an application written by lawyers paid to write confusing applications."
This.
Patents are supposed to be provided in exchange for an inventor disclosing the invention for future public benefit. But, they're written in such an obtuse manner that they can't be used that way - they're expected to be used to extract money out of the people who come up with something similar, not provide a workable explanation of how to make something useful.
The solution is for examiners to simply outright reject any patent which isn't readily understandable. A person "skilled in the art," shouldn't have to learn deliberately obtuse patent-speak to even begin to understand a patent.

You're obviously a teacher who feels threatened because you are unable to think rationally.

"Tenure laws one of the most..."
Can the poster buy a verb? Or maybe have their non-tenured English teacher buy one for them?
Oh, so not "development hardware," but a cheaper alternative to other FP computation options.
You're missing the point (and marketing).
Overpaying by 20X makes you much cooler than overpaying by 10X. The metric is bragging rights, not actual performance, and definitely not some cost/benefit analysis.
" The policies vary company-by-company, so something that's onerous for you may be much easier for someone else."
Yes, anecdotal evidence means very little.
WTF is "ghetto floating point development hardware," and what is it used for that makes this cost effective?

I don't buy his argument.
Whoosh. No. When I said mW, I meant exactly what I said - milliwatt.
The OP mentioned a MW (megawatt) transmitter, which is hardly trivial.
If a 1W transmitter could cover a neighborhood, a megawatt transmitter could cover a city.
Of course, the OP probably screwed up doubly, and meant mW. Getting and using a megawatt transmitter is hardly "trivial."

Thailand is one of the few countries which still has Lèse-majesté laws, too.
Did Hallmark have a hand in this? Do I have to send cards to all the stars? They're going to make a fortune!
Yep. This seems to be a legitimate (albeit rare) exercise of the Commerce Clause, provided it doesn't affect non-commercial sites.

"if the NSA is doing something it impacts national security"
So, the metadata for grandma's call to the pizza store is now a matter of "national security," simply because the NSA collects it?
You should have probably said "classical liberal democracy." In current parlance, the connotation is completely different.
(Sorry if you're non-US, but this is a US site, where "liberal" means something different than it does in the rest of the world.)
They didn't say what kind of jobs. It's government jobs, obviously.
