At this point in time, it is becoming more and more possible to get the equivalent of a university degree without going through the university system, and this is a great thing. I agree with you about the idea of "getting an education" vs. getting vocational training.
Yeah, but it doesn't help. The paper matters. When I had 10+ years in IT, I moved across the country, and when applying for new jobs, I wasn't so precious that I needed to have something that was a step up from what I did before. So I applies for an entry-level "help desk" position in a call center to take calls from people having trouble navigating a bank web site. The requirement was "CS degree and 5 years experience". Since it never hurts to try, I applied when I had no CS degree (I have a degree in psychology, minor in CS). They must have had no qualified applicants apply, because I got a call from HR explaining that my application can't be forwarded to the hiring manager because my degree wasn't in CS, and that they would consider "equivalent experience" and asked if my experience (10+ years) was equivalent to CS+5 years. I said "no" and hung up. Any corporation that insane about process and such wouldn't be a good place to work, plus, by the time they called me, I had some prospects that I'd rather focus on.
For many places, the paper matters more than the knowledge. It may not be right. But it's reality.
That's pretty silly, the mask thing. It's the people INFECTED with the virus who should be wearing masks, not healthy people trying to avoid the disease.
And what happens when you are incubating, possibly infectious, and develop a cough or sneeze? You let one rip in public, and get yourself checked out when you can? Or you wear a mask, to help reduce the transmission by an infected but asymptomatic person.
It also helps (even if trivially) with protecting the wearer.
It might not be a high-value protection, but it's low cost, and lowering the transmission rate in crowded areas, even a tiny amount, can have a huge effect on the spread of the disease.
Nope. It messes up the uniformity, as you must search all previous cases, and make an opinion as to how a future judge would rule under them.
More clear would be that any judicial disagreement with the law would wipe the law from the books, and the legislators would have to re-write it to keep a single place where one could find the law, you know, to help one know what's legal.
Given that none of the "creative"portion of the API is used, it's hard to claim that a reverse-engineer with no overlapping "creative" element would be a violation.
It's like making a frame for an existing artwork. The frame itself is copyrighted, as is the original work, but the original artist has no say in the frame, nor is the frame a violation of copyright of the initial work, despite having had to use a trivial amount of the creative work (its dimensions) to make the frame.
Copyright is unrelated to effort. Someone who automates the scanning of the White Pages, and puts the results online has violated no copyright, despite magnitudes less effort to mine a copyrighted work and re-distribute something equivalent. A painting that's a blank canvas with one stroke across it, at 10s of effort and $0.10 of paint, is copyrighted the same as any new work.
Most of the good deals were made for someone else who didn't take good advantage of them. He "stole" incentives made for GM and others, and made better use of them. He didn't ask for them. He waited until someone else asked, then he took advantage of them.
And previously, you'd be able to deduct a larger percentage of a larger vehicle. Buy a Civic and the rules assume you have a larger percentage of personal use. Buy a Hummer and they assume no person in their right mind would use it for personal use, so the deductions are greater. Of course, for "buy" I mean "lease" as leases are the most tax advantageous move for a business.
No, "a lot" of people don't. Almost all drive a set amount every day, to and from work. The few percent that drive 500 miles a day regularly would be better matched with a plug-in hybrid. It'a not about the miles. If they came out with an electric car with 300 mile range, would you change your mind? Or would you make up different excuses?
Agreed, Highland Park, TX got in trouble about 20 or 30 years ago for arresting minorities for loitering. Their lame excuse? "I was standing at a bus stop". Dirty thugs.
The truth is that the terrorists are recruiting online, so the military wanted to stop that. Also, they paid off someone's mistress for this, but didn't want to break her cover, so they made up a story about social media, giving a cover to the mistress and killing two birds with one stone.
Nobody has denied that is the case, so I can only assume it's true.
Mind you, it would prolly be considered weird to wear your stormtrooper costume on Ash Wednesday....
You'd just assume he was walking back "home" (or hotel or whatever) after waking up from the night before. Fat Tuesday may end earlier than most nights, as it ends at midnight with the street sweepers blasting water on those who are still around at 12:01 a.m. Ash Wednesady, but people know it, so they start earlier, and go harder, last night.

Clinton was impeached for telling the truth under oath. So it's not just the Executive that's not playing by the rules.
In practice, there's greater social mobility in India, with a formal caste system (though on the decline), than in the USA.
SSN is required for employees, to file papers for the IRS, but is (arguably/borderline) illegal to ask for for other purposes.
When are you getting your cars back? You need to buy out the Taupo track for a day and invite everyone over.

Why do you think the Internet Party didn't do as well as hoped?

Everyone knows the importance of software today and you cant just rip off IP worth tens of millions for $0.
That's not a standard for IP laws. Copyright covers creative works. Just because something was hard, doesn't mean it's "IP" or protected.
You sound like the people who thought the White Pages should be protected. How did that work out?
Copyright is unrelated to effort. Someone who automates the scanning of the White Pages, and puts the results online has violated no copyright, despite magnitudes less effort to mine a copyrighted work and re-distribute something equivalent.

Oh, so the same as Boeing, and hundreds of others before him?
Except a politician.
Most of the good deals were made for someone else who didn't take good advantage of them. He "stole" incentives made for GM and others, and made better use of them. He didn't ask for them. He waited until someone else asked, then he took advantage of them.
By your definition, a few militia nuts, and you comprise all 0.000001% of the people that fit into #2.
If his fanboys are so effective on the Internet, why do so many on slashdot hate him? Are you jealous?

actually alot of people do.

GM made the EV1, but technically never sold a single one.

If this was exif tags from the selfie, then that would be data, not metadata.
If data about the data (exif describing the photo) isn't metadata, then what is?
The truth is that the terrorists are recruiting online, so the military wanted to stop that. Also, they paid off someone's mistress for this, but didn't want to break her cover, so they made up a story about social media, giving a cover to the mistress and killing two birds with one stone.
