Fight bigotry, you must fight ALL forms of it, just not the kinds you don't like.
Firefighters who fight forest fires by consuming their fuel in small controlled fires might disagree with the analogy: "Fight fire, you must fight ALL forms of it, just not the kinds you don't like."
I only play games that are playable with keyboard and mouse.
How do you finely change your movement speed and direction with a keyboard? I agree that aiming is more precise with a mouse than with an analog joystick. But for moving, WASD emulates an 8-way joystick, not an analog one.
Nobody I know uses controllers unless they are required to by the lack of options on a console.
With a keyboard and mouse, how do you let players 2, 3, and 4 play a PC game with you? Which games do you play that support Raw Input API for use with more than one keyboard and more than one mouse? Or do you make them wait their turns until you have finished playing? Or do you live alone and never invite friends over?
Is the online news presented audiovisually so that you can unwind from tiring work at your day job, or do you have to expend attention reading it? My roommate watches local news, Inside Edition, and PBS NewsHour to unwind.
There is no mandate to watch TV, no mandate to listen to music, no mandate to watch movies, yet all those industries assume they have a captive audience.
You may be right about TV and movies. But music has captive audiences in waiting rooms of businesses, grocery stores, etc. Part of your grocery bill goes toward royalties for the music played over the PA system when associates aren't being called to the registers.
There are 3 teams I care about and two of them are local and likely to be on ota tv
That works for you, not so much for fans of the pro team that moved out (e.g. Rams fans in Los Angeles and St. Louis), the pro team to which their favorite player was traded (e.g. Peyton Manning fans in Indiana during his seasons with the Broncos), the team local to the place where they grew up before moving for a job to an industry hotbed, the team of the university that one of their adult children attends, etc.
sports are much more fun to watch at a sport bar with a bunch of people around you cheering, then they are to watch at home by yourself.
Some parents want to cheer with their minor children, even if they live in a 21-to-enter state. Or by "bar" do you include all-ages sports restaurants such as Buffalo Wild Wings? Visiting a restaurant daily (baseball) or every other day (basketball) isn't practical for everyone.
People watched sports for decades over standard-definition analog cable TV, whose usable resolution (based on luma bandwidth and Nyquist's theorem) is 320x480i at 60 fps. Does a match streamed at this resolution really have a higher peak data rate than, say, an action movie streamed 640x480p at 24 fps?
Name a single time any entertainment media switched formats and the price stayed the same or lowered.
I'll beat that with two, even without invoking piracy.
Music from CD to paid download
When new albums on CD were $15, albums on iTunes were $10. When new albums on CD with three good songs were $15, those three songs on iTunes were $3. Prices for some individual tracks increased 30 percent when the music stores dropped DRM around 2009, but overall, it was still cheaper than CD.
Movies from VHS to DVD
The studios chose to eliminate the "priced for rental" window, when a VHS movie would cost $90 or so for the first few months. DVD movies were priced for sell-through at about $30 on day one. (Forum source; I apologize for lacking the time to dig up a more reliable source.)
It sounded to me like the court said that there is very little chance that this purse manufacturer's use of the trademark iPhone would harm Apple's mobile phone sales in any way. Rulings like this are pretty common in cases where two companys in radically different lines of business like, say, a agricultural machinery manufacturer and a computer manufacturer, are using the same trademark.
A claim of trademark infringement requires the registration and the allegedly infringing activity to be closely related fields of use. But a claim of dilution of a famous trademark, in those jurisdictions that recognize it, has no field of use restriction. Good luck selling a "Coca-Cola" brand television, even without the Spencerian logo.
A few high schools, such as South Side High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana, offer two honors tracks. There's the traditional honors track targeting The College Board's AP exams as well as an International Baccalaureate program that ranks above AP. I only went for honors, not IB.
So how should a student guarantee not wasting money? Even assuming that the first year of a four-year degree is general prerequisites that all majors share, it's not always feasible to predict with certainty which industries will be hiring 36 months after the second semester. The industry associated with your major could end up in a contraction like the buggy whip industry after the spread of automobiles, shrinking from serving horse-drawn transportation to serving the smaller market of Amish, theater, and BDSM.
IF linux ever successfully makes a truly transparent layering of the OS to the point where one can install Win apps fully automagically and have them "just run" with all library support available, current, and functional, then it would truly be a war. Games would stop being an issue at all.
Under Wine 1.6 on Xubuntu 14.04 LTS, it is my experience that many Windows applications "just run", but not all. And "all" won't happen for two reasons. First, a lot of applications (such as iTunes and Fitbit Connect) rely on proprietary device drivers because they are intended for managing specific peripherals, and drivers are outside the scope of Wine (but inside that of ReactOS). Second, many online games' anti-cheat mechanisms check for specific hash values corresponding to copyrighted Windows system files.
Or it was donated with an unlicensed operating system. Windows volume licenses apply only to PCs owned or leased by an organization and are invalid once the organization no longer possesses the PC. So when the PC is used too long without connecting to the activation server on the organization's private network, its Windows activation lapses. One ThinkPad laptop that I bought on eBay had Windows 10 in this state; I replaced it with Debian.
Is it usually practical for a member of a private tracker to find material to upload that is on-topic for the tracker, especially if the member is not part of a recognized warez release group?
Still hard to get to that on a torrent with dozens of seeds and no other downloaders.
The biggest way to improve your ratio on any site is to upload material not already on the tracker.
A lot of trackers have had rules such as "If it's not on NFOrce or grokMusiQ then forget it!" and "not older than seven (7) days", which makes it hard to find suitable "material not already on the tracker." (Search result) Is a member supposed to compose, record, mix, and master his own material? Or even allowed to do so?
many sites also have specific restrictions for time period which actually ease the ratio rules a bit. "Sorry you were a leaf on this torrent but we're going to make you stay seeding for at least 2 weeks to keep the torrent alive. you don't get the ratio but you at least tried" Stuff.
It was donated without a supported operating system. Windows XP is no longer supported, and Windows Vista has less than a year of extended support remaining.
A basic DVD-R is about 4GB and you'd have to be a hoarder to still have USB sticks smaller than 4GB.
How much does AT&T charge for 4 GB of cellular data? Or Exede for 4 GB of satellite data? Or the Post Office to mail a 4 GB stick to and from someone with wired Internet?
I imagine it's for a situation where the computer was donated to you, possibly as a hand-me-down from an upgrade, but a flash drive wasn't. Or for a situation where the computer and a flash drive were donated to you, but 2 GB of data transfer allowance wasn't. Here in the USA, if you aren't in the service area of a fiber, cable, or DSL provider, 2 GB of cellular or satellite data is more expensive than even a 16 GB flash drive.
265.92 Mbit/s: 24x DVD 480 Mbit/s: USB 2.0 "High Speed"
I'll grant that high-speed USB has about 240 to 280 Mbps of usable throughput. But a high-speed USB flash drive still has the advantage over DVD of not having a spin-up time or noticeable seek time. So if, say, 512 MB of files are needed at boot time, they're all loaded in 512 / (273 / 8) = 15 seconds.
Which new 10.1" laptop doesn't have "a soldered in hard drive"? At that size range, I used to see Atom laptops with a 2.5" SATA HDD. But all I see nowadays are tablets with an attachable keyboard.

Klingon? Cue the notice of claimed infringement from CBS and Paramount.

I'd say cheaper than the overage fees to download an OS installer over a cellular or satellite data network.
developers can't rely on there being a small number of canonical user interfaces they can write for.
I thought Unity was the canonical user interface. At least it's the one that Canonical pushed down GNOME 2 users' throats in Ubuntu 11.10.
