And copyright is a government limit on speech, not a corporate one. As I noted, "unless otherwise explicitly defined in law". You were just agreeing in a fucking stupid manner.
Nope, you are looking at WWII without Russia, but failed to account for the 10,000 years before that. If there were no Russia, the Mongols would have conquered the land in that area long ago, then the question of who would have been holding it for WWI. If Russia didn't participate in WWI, the results may have been different. And since WWII was a result of WWI, that would cause a great difference in WWII, if it ever happened. So no, it's unlikely we'd be speaking German, though it has been proposed as the official language of the USA, back when there were almost as many German speakers as English speakers, Before WWI, we've fought the English, but not the Germans. Another reason there was a big push to join WWI with the Germans against the English. Had we not soured on Germany from WWII, we'd still be talking about whether we entered WWI on the wrong side. But with Germany earning villain status in WWII, we retcon'ed justification for fighting against them in WWI.
The courts have also ruled that you can't sign away rights, unless otherwise explicitly defined in law. If that wasn't the law, then slavery would be legal. So, do you have the right to sign yourself into slavery?
I've signed many NDAs and non competes. I've violated every one of the non-competes, and none of the NDAs. They are all unenforceable anyway, so better to have the job than not. Where I am now, I'm doing very sensitive things and have no non-compete or NDA.
Tabs work that way. They sit there on top, and you see them clearly. You scroll through them at least once a day, and decide to action the item or skip it for today.
There's no way to get the same functionality in bookmarks. Yes, I've been told that with only 3 plug ins and extra clicks, I could do something similar, but why go through all that trouble when many tabs works?
Also, no system recovers "workspaces". The browsers set to "restore last session" will only recover the last "workspace" closed, losing all other "workspaces". I don't see how that could be a good system.
Task list implies available and in front. I've not seen a bookmark system that works the way I described. When I can tag a page "bookmark, show my tomorrow, and delete bookmark", then bookmarks will be closer.
I would love a system that allowed me to group tabs in a tree-system. "Shopping", with sub groups "motorcycle parts", "Computer parts", "gaming", and groups under those, "Exhaust", "laptop motherboard", "release dates".
Instead, since nothing organizes tabs in a convienent and visible way, I keep them all open, and ctrl-tab through them as a reminder of what I'm doing in each of those groups/sub-groups.
Bookmarks require leaving to find another. Load up all 1000 bookmarks at once, then ctrl-tab through them, skimming them at 1-2 seconds each, faster than the load time. No time needed wasted watching loading.
Also, since nobody has implemented a nag-bookmark, what do I do about the 3 to 20 products I am considering buying at any time? I don't want to bookmark the exhaust for my motorcycle. I buy it or not, and either way, I never need it again, once I make a decision. Having the tab(s) open help me remember to make a decision. If I close it, then I'm back to the start on which site had the best price on an Akropovic exhaust. Sure, I could make a new folder for the bookmarks, and throw them in there, but then, I'll forget about them. I ctrl-tab through my tabs at least once a day "Do I still need this?". It becomes a low-priority to-do list. Something bookmarks don't do well.
When someone invents real AI, in the 10 minutes between that and the apocalypse, the real fear of open SDK is that a conversion program could convert Xbox exclusives to PS4 and vice versa. Or take your photo, import it into the game and replace the graphics with real people. Yes, you could make yourself literally the star, but that's boring. Putting people you know into the expendable NPCs is the real horror show. Killing teachers and such.
So if a bike obstructs a car, the bike is obstructing a bus? You are one of the idiot drivers that stays in the outside lane, having seen a bike ahead, so you can get up behind them and honk. If you had just changed lanes when you saw the bike, there'd have been no issue.
Bus lanes are garbage, they waste space because they are even less utilized than the buses themselves.
So if we have buses, and bus lanes, the bus shouldn't use the bus lane. Wow, you really are a complete idiot.
Bikes don't obstruct buses. If anything we need a law that requires buses be in a bus lane if one is available. Too often, the buses take up all available lanes, passing their slower brethren at a road-block pace. Or, when traffic is flowing well, they'll stay out of the bus lane to avoid turning traffic, even when there is none.
What are motorbikes? I've seen a study (Belgian, I think) that 25% of car drivers moving to motorbikes eliminates 100% of congestion, and you don't have to suffer in a bus. I get about 80 mpg in a 650 cc motorbike with enough power (to weight) to shame most V8s.
The fuel stations in OR collect lots of excise taxes today. How in the world will bicycle shops collect an excise tax, if the gas stations still haven't figured out excise taxes on gasoline or cigarettes they haven't been able to sell for 100 years because they couldn't solve this blindingly simple problem.
OMG, you found the one weakness in the whole plan! It's not like they could do like they do for cigarettes, and mark up the item by the tax, and give the "price" as the price with tax included, then send any tax to the government later, as VAT/GST/sales tax is handled everywhere in the world except for the USA.
I've worked for a PHB, and he insists every non-conformant packet is an "attack", even when I had traced some of them back to a poorly written internal app. The idiot managers "alert" on every IPS/firewall hit/block, and claim every individual packet to be a separate "attack". Trying to justify his job, since his performance can't justify it. Numbers of "attacks" is meaningless without a clear definition of "attack".

It can't be superseded by contract law, but raising the constitutional issue is beyond the finances of a wage-earner, so the contract wins.

Why? Rather than addressing the user's need, you are going to tell them they are doing it wrong? You must work on Linux.

Bookmarks don't work well as a to-do list. Open tabs fill that need much better.

Most PCs play 4k movies just fine. DRM is only an issue with the 1% of PCs that are running Linux.
Why does that matter?
It's the only thing that matters. If price didn't matter, you, and everyone else, would have all the choices.

How much was your PC that plays 4k Mirror's Edge Catalyst on high or better settings? How much is the Xbox One X that will play it in 4k?
Does yours play 4k Blu-Ray movies? How about 3D 1080 Blu-Ray movies?
If there aren't enough people to pay for it voluntarily, then it does not need to be built at all. Simple, eh?
If that were the case, we wouldn't have armed forces, police, or education.

Jogging is worse for the environment than walking. Outlaw jogging! Also, outlaw any exercise machine that requires electricity.

To avoid the $15 tax, I'm going to sell 24" bicycles with a $20 conversion kit to convert them to 26".
Based on the responses here, people would queue up to spend $5 to make sure the government didn't get any income.

The Fed is owned and run by the federal government. It is a bank, by any reasonable definition of the word.
