Current concert setlist includes Amish Paradise, and I believe he has a medley some classic stuff which includes part of Eat It, dunno about Another One Rides The Bus. It's worth seeing, I'll tell you that much, and you don't have to worry about it being all new stuff, he knows what his fans want to hear.
Also he recently released the video for Perform This Way (his Gaga parody) although fair warning, it's one of the more disturbing music videos I've seen.;^)
How is this a myth? The hospital can send as many bills to the poor person as they want, they're still not going to be able to pay them. Ultimately the cost still gets passed on to the taxpayer, either through higher hospital fees to cover the unpaid bills of the indigent, or through higher taxes.
1. Take legal file 2. Place legal file on peer to peer filesharing network 3. Friend downloads legal file, it is now illegal on their computer, but a bit-for-bit copy of the legal file, passing all hash checks you can think of 4. ??? 5. Profit!
In civil suits (which for a copyright lawsuit is what it would be), the standard is a "plurality of evidence", meaning that whichever side can present a more convincing argument to the judge will win, proof be damned. (IANAL, do not consider this legal advice, all situations are different, etc. etc.)
8) Make enough money to buy an individual insurance plan on your own. It's extremely expensive, and will probably be a big portion of your income unless you're pretty well-off, but people do it.
I did this for several months. It pretty much priced me out of contracting. Luckily, I found a full time position with full benefits.
Why the HELL aren't the Dems hammering on this point?
"Campaign contributions" by insurance companies. That's the thing, in order to get universal healthcare, we need to enforce ethics rules that would eliminate the corruption in Congress and the Senate. In order to do so, we would need a majority of the Congress and Senate to vote for them...
Now how are your strategic actions by the government going to help me end up paying less in taxes to cover that person's lung cancer?
Because the US is (at least in theory) a civilized country, meaning that the person with lung cancer is going to be covered every time he goes to the ER anyway, as hospitals cannot refuse to give life-saving care. You're almost certainly paying more for the emergency care as they die than you would to give them the care they need to live.
If you are in fact arguing that hospitals should refuse life-saving care on the basis of a lack of insurance, you're a horrible human being.
Excellent. Let me know how that works out if it's necessary.
I don't think most people here would hate for being a Microsoft employee because I'm sure they'd secretly jump at the chance just like a Google job. (Whether I personally would or not, I don't know. I like my current job, though.)
Which is perfectly valid if, and only if, you have drank the cool-aid. Other countries and cultures treat the expectation of privacy as an inalienable right which you can not sign away in order to choose job over starving. If a company monitors employees, it needs to notify them before each and every incidence, not a blanco "may" in a contract.
So, in other words, they display a popup upon logging on to their computers saying that all activity is monitored and you should have no expectation of privacy. I know this because that's what the tech support outsourcer I worked for did. In Canada. (And Canada is one of those countries with strong privacy controls.)
Is this phone call recorded? If you don't know, it's (what in more free countries would be considered illegal) wiretapping, plain and simple. Who owns the equipment is irrelevant - the company owns the toilets too, but that doesn't give them a right to install cameras under the lid.
The US States disagree with each other on this point, since it's not federally mandated. If you want laws like the one you mentioned, where both parties have to be aware that a conversation is recorded, then you'll want a two-party state.
The hyperbole about "more free countries" is unnecessary.
Somehow I think the first move that Microsoft will make upon assuming control is to kill off Linux Skype. As usual, mergers end up screwing everyone, employees, users, and vendors alike, except upper management.
For example during an internal training session in my company I was recently informed that "our constitutional rights cease to exist in the workplace"
Your company is incorrect. That said, most of the Constitution's restrictions are on the government specifically, and not on interactions between private entities, like you and your employer. So while your employer is most definitely incorrect, they probably meant to say something like, "you do not have an unlimited right to free speech in the workplace" or "you should not have any expectation of privacy whatsoever in the workplace," which is perfectly valid.
Of course, there is a real problem when the government uses outsourced third party companies to put a veil over otherwise unconstitutional actions, like you mentioned.
Microsoft saying that using any graphics library other than their own -- which happens to only be available on their operating system -- is harmful and should be avoided. Shocking.
Yeah, I mean, she couldn't possibly have an email on a provider like Yahoo that's not subject to scrutiny (unless someone "hacks" it by inputting easily accessible answers to security questions) and use it for state business, that would be illegal!
That's actually how polygraphs work. They base their "truth / lie" decision on a comparison between your answer to a real question, and your answer to a question to which the polygrapher believes 99% of people will lie (like the classics, "have you ever stolen from someone?" or "have you ever done drugs?").

Parent is correct. Streaming is the most user-accepted form of DRM out there.
Weird Al - Perform This Way should work since I don't think YouTube does content restriction by country. Tell me if it does though.

Al released the entire Alpocalypse album for free legal streaming if you want to hear it before you buy. It's a great album!
I preordered it (got the album a few days ago) and we're seeing a show in Toronto in July. Believe me, he and the band put on a hell of a performance.

The RIAA would argue that you have no rights to transfer a track from one media to another in the first place.

The irony of him robbing the Royal Bank of Canada cannot be overstated.
In other words, you can punish someone, as long as it's ultimately yourself.
Please don't use the word "rightsize". It's just insulting all around. They were fired.
And requires precisely five stamps.

Absolutely. Just take an extra hard drive with the pad on it whenever you need to access your data...

Jesus Christ would have failed a polygraph test.
Good to know.
