But they all have one thing in common: no one tests in Safari.
That became the case once Apple terminated development of Safari for Windows. This meant it suddenly cost $500 to $600 to buy a second computer on which to run a copy of Safari in which to test your site. And then you have to pay $500 to $600 more four to six years later when Apple stops porting new versions of Safari to your version of OS X or new versions of macOS to your Mac. For example, a 2009 Mac mini running Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" can't be upgraded past OS X 10.11 "El Capitan".
Radio is exactly comparable to other free tier (i.e. ad-supported) services. We're talking Pandora, Spotify, and most Internet radio stations
Pandora yes, Spotify not so much. There's a big legal difference between Pandora and Spotify, analogous to like the difference between radio and a jukebox, or between broadcast TV and video on demand. Pandora lets the user choose a musical style, such as the style associated with a particular recording artist, and then builds a huge playlist around that style that satisfies the "performance complement" requirement of the statutory license for public performance of sound recordings through an electronic transmission. This requirement limits how many songs from a particular artist or album may be played per hour and limits the control that the user has over the playlist so that does not substitute for a purchase. Complying with the "performance complement" allows Pandora to pay a lower rate and not have to negotiate with individual record labels. Spotify has to pay more in royalties because it gives the user far more control over the playlist.
How is everybody capable of avoiding accidental infringement while doing so? If you write a song, and the song is substantially similar to one of the millions of songs in the BMI and ASCAP repertories, and the owner of copyright in one of those older songs shows in court that you have heard or reasonably should have heard the older song, then your song infringes copyright in the older song. The key case for accidental infringement is Bright Tunes Music v. Harrisongs Music.
"Probably" is as good as you'll get for a legal question posed to a public forum, because most of us don't want to spend beaucoup bucks to hire a lawyer just to reply to a comment on Slashdot.
Touché. True, the Cabinet is part of the executive branch of the U.S. Government, and Secretary Clinton served in President Obama's Cabinet. But only Governor Johnson has served as the elected chief executive of a republican* government. Let me revise my sound bite.
* "Republican" in the same sense as U.S. Constitution, Article IV, section 4, not to be confused with the similarly named party.
Irrelevant. The answer to a really shit law is not to break it and hope you don't get caught.
In other words, kill yourself?
Seriously, the average professional in the United States commits three felonies a day. Rearranging one's life to commit zero crimes is impractical to impossible. If you're not committing crimes, you're dead.
I was mistaken. I apologize. Thank you for clarifying. So let me correct myself:
In order to understand Apple's intent in leaving transparent compression out of a file system, we'll have to watch for what Apple chooses to solder down in its next round of hardware.
Mozilla's first choices for the name of its web browser now known as Firefox were Phoenix and Firebird, but Phoenix was already a BIOS with an optional web browser, and Firebird was already a free database management system. Trademarks exist to reduce user confusion, including confusion between one free software project and another.
People knew that Adolf Hitler was a violent demagogue (from his Hitler-Ludendorff-Putsch in 1923), but they absolutely refused to vote for the alternatives because they thought they had done something worse.
Since your Chromebook is in Developer Mode, it will take an extra 30 seconds to boot up, since it shows you the Developer Mode message. You can skip this by pressing Ctrl+D.
Lastly, if you want to remove your Linux desktop and go back to regular ol' Chrome OS, you can just reboot your Chromebook and press spacebar when it prompts you to re-enable OS verification. This will remove Crouton and restore Chrome OS in its original state.
Say someone other than you, such as a spouse or child, turns the laptop on and presses Space to re-enable verification during those 30 seconds. Guess what'll happen to your data.
No, but it will kill the "different OS" if you're not very careful.
Putting another operating system on a Chromebook requires switching from verification mode to developer mode. But every time you power on a Chromebook in developer mode, it displays a screen for 30 seconds begging the user to press Space to reenable verification (which wipes the drive). The screen can be skipped by pressing Ctrl+D, but if you're not the person who turns it on, the key that gets pressed won't be Ctrl+D. If someone else (such as wife or kid) turns it on and presses Space, under the mistaken impression that that's the correct button to push, all your work since your last backup is gone, and you are out the use of the laptop until you can make reinstallation media.
Let me provide some concrete examples, as I promised: If you have a free video player (such as VLC) installed, you are possessing software that infringes codec patents in Slashdot's home country, and you are possessing a tool to circumvent DVD copy protection. If you have a console emulator (such as FCEUX) or the driver for a cartridge writer (such as Kazzo from Infinite NES Lives) installed, you may have accessed a ROM site or distributed an unauthorized mod, and you may be circumventing the console's copy protection. Even if you have evidence that your installation is used for lawful purposes, such as developing new original games, you may not have the money to hire a lawyer to present your side of the case to a judge.
In theory, any journaled file system would tolerate surprise disconnection to the same extent it tolerates surprise power loss. The problem is that journaled file systems tend to be either proprietary or copylefted, hindering their wide adoption for removable media across all major desktop operating systems.
It means you can guarantee that each file has a unique 64-bit timestamp by simply assigning a sequential nanosecond timestamp if two files get written at once. It also gives an opportunity to work around UNIX's year 2038 problem (2^31 UTC seconds since 1970) and Apple's year 2040 problem (2^32 UTC seconds since 1904), pushing it out to at least 2262 (2^63 UTC nanoseconds since 1970).
Long ago, there was a Stacker-like tool for classic Mac OS called TimesTwo that installed itself as a SCSI driver. There were also file-level tools called DiskDoubler, Now Compress, and StuffIt SpaceSaver that intercepted file open calls and decompressed files in the background. Files were written uncompressed, to be compressed later by the "AutoDoubler" background task.
Because of Apple's tendency to solder the SSD to the mainboard in the Mac Pro and all current MacBook laptops other than the non-Retina MBP, an upgrade requires replacing the whole computer at a substantial cost. Only external storage is "inordinately cheap" on a Mac, and not all laptop use cases make external spinning rust practical.
Sure, you could find lots of value in compression.... and you can get it with file compression utilities.
That's fine, so long as these utilities can let the user mount an archive read-only as a folder and thereby let other applications see the archive's contents as files in as a folder. Does macOS Sierra introduce anything that interferes with OSXFUSE?

Maybe you could force it to use h.264 by uninstalling Flash?
Users with "mobile" User-agent values get the H.264 video. Users with "desktop" User-agent values get "Install Adobe Flash Player".

Does Trump have a uniformed private army patrolling the streets and violently suppressing Democrat aligned organizations?
Replace "a uniformed" with "an uninformed" and the answer becomes yes. See "Donald Trump Encourages Violence At His Rallies. His Fans Are Listening." by Sam Stein and Dana Liebelson.

Godwin's Law strike 1
There are plenty more strikes against Trump where that came from. See Adam Tod Brown's article "5 Ways Donald Trump Perfectly Mirrors Hitler's Rise To Power".
The only reasonable scenario would be to find a third alternative, but good luck getting enough people to agree on one.
Governor Gary Johnson is the only candidate in this election with experience in the executive branch.

No, but it will kill the "different OS" if you're not very careful.

It's not like a virus or ransomware is going to mess with a Chromebook.
It is if a computer intruder discovers a vulnerability in Chrome that Google refuses to patch on older devices.
You can pick up a replacement for less than $200.
Plus the cost of disposing of your e-waste.

Then run Windows XP in a virtual machine on Red Flag Linux or whatever has replaced it.

I was hoping Apple would license ZFS or even Veritas Volume Manager/Veritas FS from Symantec.
I thought Veritas was also called Online Journaled File System (OnlineJFS or OJFS). What else is OJFS?
