That's the only definition of "free" that exists. Even the sunlight isn't "free" by your useless definition. How many innocent Hydrogen atoms died to light your day? Something had to pay, even for sunlight.
With a definition like that, you'd think you'd reset your hate-meter to take the definition of "free = no cost to the user" that works for every use of "Free" you've objected to.
Rock/paper/scissors is unusual in that the game is symmetrical: a perfect strategy can't get any better than 50:50 against anyone.
That's because the perfect strategy is suboptimal. Play with someone. Watch them. When they go scissors, are the more or less likely to go with scissors the next time? If you can find patterns and probability in the others, then you can get better odds than "perfect". "Perfect" only is perfect against other perfect players, otherwise, there's likely a more optimal choice.
A very long time. We'd need to come up with some way to transfer that heat to something else, which is hard because of thermodynamics. How do you move the hear to the core/mantle, or send it into space?
Water is a greenhouse gas. So as the earth warms, you don't need the depths to release greenhouse gases. You just need the surface to warm up, and evaporate more. It's both more fragile and more complex than people think.
Not if you manage to set of a chain reaction. Anyone else remember the '40s? I wasn't around then, but one of the complaints about the atom bomb was that it could "set the atmoshpere on fire" causing a chain reaction that consumed all the oxygen and killed the entire planet's biosphere (not just the humans, but even the cockroaches, just off a single bomb. Well, lets test that in Venus. But it doesn't matter what we do to the atmosphere, it will be unstable, so long as the planet doesn't rotate. And that's something we can never fix (with the amount of energy needed, it'd make more sense to push Mars into the Asteroid belt to "absorb" all the asteroids there to become more Earthlike in size, then move Mars to a more friendly (closer to the sun) orbit. As much as that'd take, it's still be less energy than spinning Venus to Earth days.
Venus, not spinning, has no magnetic field. So the lighter parts of the atmosphere float to the top and are stripped by solar wind. This leaves only the heavy atmosphere, and makes any "fix" of the atmosphere unstable. Venus used to be like Earth. but the closeness to the sun caused tidal effects that slowed the rotation (all parts, even the core). Once the rotation was slow enough to "stop" the magnetic field, the solar winds ripped away all the breathable atmosphere. The top parts of the atmosphere are more earth-like, but are being lost to space, pushed up by the heavier air below, and stripped off by the solar winds. So even if we could terraform it in days, it wouldn't last. Not without spin.
You are assuming the worst possible implementations of what I say, rather than a "normal" implementation, or even the best. I've said before there's no reason you can't have a unique signature per device. One cert can generate an infinite number of hashes (though no more unique than the length of the key). So with a 4096 bit key, you are looking at a collision every 10^1233 keyboards. So yes, when one signature is copied, revoke it. You'll affect no more than one keyboard. And there are plenty of ways to do it better than you discuss, and none to do it worse.
It is about as likely to be effective as trying to revoke HDCP keys if somebody extracts a key from a TV set. You tick off a bunch of TV owners, and the pirates just switch to a new key.
They do it today, not with DHCP but with game keys. If you register a game and your key has been used, then you can't register your game. I had to take one back when that happened once. Not a big deal. Some cracker who guessed a valid algorithm for keys had a collision for the "unique" one that came with my game. And again, you are comparing a system to get users who want DRM and hardware makers who want DRM with the consumer DRM where the hardware makers want DRM, but nobody else does. Consumer DRM is not wanted by the user. Secure hardware is wanted by the user. Businesses and such want it enough that Intel and others have already done it. But then, the consumers didn't want it to the point it never got implemented, becuase it broke home user's ability to tinker. What I'm proposing is doing it the other way, so that the home user can still tinker, but someone who wants a locked-down PC can get it.
You are so opposed to hardware verification that you are deliberately taking the obtuse and argumentative stance.
So, if we unbundle, then TKC will be free, because they make money from the commercials and want the widest distribution. Thus the specialty channels will benefit from being unbundled. Same audience, lower cost, to them and the watcher.
Yes, but there are so many variations on "typical" that there are regional meanings that dominate. And in the Internet age, that causes issues. So I was helping define and describe how it's used where I have owned some.
Oh, and the "interior paint inside" is the "official" answer, until a pipe leaks in a wall. And, as I noted elswhere, the condo I owned in Dallas came with a patch of dirt for everyone. The side dirt was officially shared, but the dirt in back was 100% mine, with no rules on it, even when I didn't mow it forever. Why have a mower for a patch of ground so small you can't turn around a mower in it. You can only mow it with a weedwhacker.
Oh yeah, with enough units at that address, and no idea when I was there, what will happen?
And I've given enough to be de-anonmyzed plenty of times. My full name is in the site in my sig, but not on the home page. I've always posted under my real name, in every forum. I remember people warning me away from de-anonymizing myself on USENET in the '90s. Didn't matter then, other than some people would try to make personal attacks when they couldn't argue with fact.
I had a condo in Dallas, 5100 Verde Valley Ln. They were sold as condos. Marketed as condos. It was a 2-storey unit with nobody below or above, and only one shared wall. I had a patch or dirt in the back that was mine, all mine. Doing a quick search, I see them listed even today, years later, as condos, not townhouses. http://www.neighborhoodlink.co...
Even searching on townhomes https://www.google.co.nz/searc... comes up with them listed as condos multiple times, but never as townhomes.
In Washington D.C. a "townhome" is a 3-story house that shares 1-2 side walls with neighbors. I haven't tried to buy one, but looking at the real estate listings, they aren't part of HOAs and such, but I imagine they are restricted or historical or something, and you can't just go ripping down your place, as it would take the walls off your neighbors. So I recognize that the definitions may be regional. I'm just sharing how it was used where I grew up.
I remember playing Civ with the keyboard. Though I never had a computer that could play it that didn't have a mouse. I have no recollection of whether or not it asked for a mouse. I think it was like many, you could use the mouse, but it didn't help. Using computers daily from pre-mouse days still amazes people. Walking up to a computer with a flaky mouse, and running through things with the keyboard faster than anyone can see.
The issue you are forgetting is that the channels have commercials. WGN started off cable, and it wasn't until many years later when they went to cable. If nobody wanted them on cable, they'd still have life. It's not always "on cable or dead". TKC, because the knitting advertisers want such a narrow and targeted market will pay for those eyeballs. TKC can sell for $0 and still make money. The lower the price, the higher the ad revenue. The higher the price, the lower the ad revenue. Yes, sometimes it really is that simple.
I was part of a HOA with the first home I ever bought, which was part of a very middle-class neighborhood of townhouses.
Where I'm from, townhouses can't be part of an HOA. They are condos. Condos, but definition, have shared ownership, not binding contracts on private ownership. There's a difference. Though, "townhouse" in the north east may mean something different. I've never tried to buy one there, but in the US south, a "townhouse" means "fuck you, it's not a condo (no, it's really just a condo)".
MS presumably has a copyright on some "office" software somewhere. That they were mistaken about whether that "office" software was theirs isn't illegal. Claiming they are the owner of office software when they aren't is illegal.
So the Bayside Home Owner's Association isn't a home owner's association? It was a non-profit set up like an HOA, but wasn't mandatory. It is a defined legal entity, with bylaws and such.
In theory submitting a false DMCA request is illegal.
No. Falsely claiming copyright ownership is illegal, but claiming against the wrong thing isn't. You can claim against movie.mov, if you think (without proof or actual evidence) that the movie is your movie you actually own copyright of (even if you are wrong). You can't claim against Disney's_Frozen.avi if you think it's Disney's Frozen and you have no claim to that work.
It's almost like they knew the law would be misused and wrote it to allow abuses.
No, it's right, but in my cases, the CC&Rs weren't deed restrictions. My statement is 100% correct, but signing the deed to take ownership is binding on them. I've moved into an HOA area, but the HOA wasn't on the deed. It was voluntary. And for the condos I've owned, the CC&Rs weren't attached to the title because you (obviously) don't get a clear title for a condo. You get a part-ownership of a larger item, with cross leases, and other legal tweaks that vary by jurisdiction. That is has covenants is clear, and they were provided in their entirity before buying. But that's not generally included in the HOA discussions. A HOA is a way of buying a really large condo, on separate pieces of land. I know someone who had that. A stand-alone house on separate lot. She called it a "condo".
If a real estate agent points me to a house in an HOA, I'll just say "I don't want a condo."
That appears to only apply if the library makes the copies, and not when the user makes the copies. That's more archival than casual community library related.

After this robot is pointed to the poker sites, there's no reason to play online anymore, unless you are using this robot.
And how do you stop the same run-away effect from happening?
Step 1, make it spin. I thought I was clear on that.
A very long time. We'd need to come up with some way to transfer that heat to something else, which is hard because of thermodynamics. How do you move the hear to the core/mantle, or send it into space?

His neighbors do have an HOA. At least based on my understanding of "Condo" in CA, which is what your link says was the location of the problem.
So he's in an HOA, and still a horrible neighbor. What's that say about HOAs?

Great, I sued myself, but I can't pay.
It provides a minimum income level to all people. That is what UBI is.

Change to an ISP that's attack friendly. Then when they have enough of a botnet on their network, the upstream carriers cut them off. Problem solved.
Grandma will get a letter from her ISP. She follows the instructions, or she gets disconnected. It's that simple.
