Though a firm outside the Union can designate an existing employee as its data protection officer, it still has to hire somebody in the Union to act as the firm's representative to customers in the Union pursuant to article 27.

I guess it differs in Europe because incoming SMS is free of charge, unlike the USA where the sender and receiver split the SMS toll if not on a premium plan with unmetered SMS. But announcement on radio is spoken and thus accessible to drivers with their eyes on the road.
This was in fact the case for the 1978 extension for all works other than pre-1972 sound recordings. When the term under the 1909 Act expires, an author can file a notice to reclaim his copyright.
I don't know about Britain, but here in the United States, all radio stations carry announcements from the Emergency Alert System, such as severe weather warnings from the National Weather Service.
DAB will never become mainstream, we will all be streaming instead.
How much is the annual licence fee (if any) for a DAB receiver? How much is the additional fee for a data plan on top of what one is expected to already pay for talk and text on a mobile phone?
S.2393 is not a term extension at all but an expansion of the scope of existing state law copyright in pre-1972 sound recordings, whose expiry had already been set at 2067 by the previous term extension. In particular, "sound recording" under U.S. copyright law does not include the soundtrack of "Steamboat Willie", "Plane Crazy (sound version)", or any other motion picture.
You're right but not for the reason you may have thought.
Chromium is the subset of Google Chrome that meets FSF's Free Software Definition and OSI's Open Source Definition (also called Debian Free Software Guidelines). It implements, among other things, an OpenGL ES binding for JavaScript called WebGL.
you want to buy it from a chain store, but you even insist on it having a showroom!
If a showroom is unimportant, then what steps should I take to evaluate the color reproduction accuracy, viewing angle, and response time of a display that I have never had a chance to see in person? Or the responsiveness of a touch digitizer that I have never had a chance to manipulate in person?
A snap also runs in a container to isolate the application from the data in your home directory that you have not yet chosen to expose to the application.
A summary of a news article cannot define every word used therein; otherwise, every summary would become a dictionary. Thus a summary of an article can use without definition any word whose definition that the expected audience of that article is expected to already know. In this case, anyone who runs Ubuntu 14.04 and has installed Google's web browser has seen the names "Trusty" during installation of the operating system and "Chromium" during installation and launching of the browser. Therefore, communication to users of Google's web browser on Ubuntu 14.04 can use terms familiar to users of Google's web browser on Ubuntu 14.04. "Snap" I'll concede, as production use of Snap didn't ramp up until at least Ubuntu 16.04 (codename "Xenial Xerus").
Better yet, put the messaging back into the mobile website and let everyone use their web browser instead of a handful of apps.
"Everyone" except for the anti-JavaScript hardliners here on Slashdot, who prefer OS-specific installable native executables to OS-independent zero-install script-in-the-browser.
"Trusty" is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, codename "Trusty Tahr", released in 2014-04 and supported until 2019-04. "LTS" is long-term supported versions of Ubuntu, which receive security updates for five years. "Chromium" is a web browser published by Google with all the proprietary parts stripped out. "snap" is a packaged application distributed by the Ubuntu store, which runs in a container to isolate its dependencies.
Translation: If you're still running Ubuntu 14.04, you can get the latest Google web browser as a self-contained package.
And you believe that option provides anything like a viable market force?
In theory, cities whose franchised ISP(s) cannot provide acceptable home Internet service should lose talent to cities whose franchised ISP(s) can provide acceptable home Internet service. In practice, there may be other factors strong enough to outweigh this factor.
Because I refuse to pay the monthly fee [for Adobe Creative Cloud], I have switched to open source variants, which are Good enough.
What's an "open source variant" of Adobe Animate that is worth using? Is, say, Synfig Studio good enough to replace it? Someone making a music video for a song to be posted on YouTube might be interested.
Many series are exclusive to pay TV. Cellphones are still metered on plans that aren't the most expensive, and playing a CD purchased at a yard sale and ripped to a phone's memory doesn't incur data overage fees.
"If you have to ask how to contact us, you can't afford our negotiation fee plus royalties. If you can afford our negotiation fee plus royalties, you can afford an agent who knows whom in our organization to call."
Come on, take some responsibility and start finding solutions rather than problems.
What steps should be taken toward finding a solution? Is asking other Slashdot users whether they have found a solution, and if so, what it was, an acceptable angle?
No they dont "self destruct" if you do, don't be such a drama queen.
For someone who lives with other people, what's the difference between "self destruct" and firmware that encourages whoever turns on a device to wipe its installed operating system, installed applications, and not-yet-pushed commits?
And actually they will support non-chromeos applications officially soon.
From the cited article:
All in all, it means that Google developers can finally create Android, Chrome OS, and web applications directly from their Chromebooks
Excluded are X Window System and therefore Wine. I use Wine for FamiTracker and FCEUX (debugging version), which are free software whose source code has a dependency on MFC or Win32.
It's one line, literally 5 things. Why does it need to be more concise?
Because in the past, I've received replies to the effect "Anyone who needs that combination of things is an edge case. Because there aren't enough others like you, the market has chosen to chase economies of scale because it is more profitable than serving you." The fewer dependencies I can name, the more sympathetic the replies tend to be. But I think I can cut it down to four: GIMP, Wine, Pillow, and what Debian and Ubuntu call "build-essential".

The artist owned the right, at the creation of each such work, to choose to whom to sell his or her interest in each such work.

A meal at Wendy's is $4. A movie at Redbox is $1.50. Choosing one of five $8 apps to continue using may cost $40.

Let me know when a major U.S. electronics showroom chain offers phones warranted to run LineageOS.

Then why is there no option for "I prefer not to specify my location and am fine with not viewing any regionally restricted videos"?
Not everybody can do that without buying a new phone, particularly people like Bob-Bob Hardyoyo whose Android phone has Facebook in the system partition. All they can do is "uninstall updates" and then "disable".
So you suggest MOVING as an answer to a bad ISP?
Personally, I don't find "liv[ing] like a nomad chasing ISPs", as you put it earlier, to be practical. Nor do Desler, LateArthurDent, sqrt(2), Bill_the_Engineer, Sarten-X, karnal, a couple anons, Rakarra, JohnFen, or another anon. But some claim moving might be a practical answer for people who are either already between jobs or single, renting, and in a position to quit.

I'm failing to see how no Comcast means no Internet. The public library offers Internet access at its branches during normal operating hours.
Many series are exclusive to pay TV. Cellphones are still metered on plans that aren't the most expensive, and playing a CD purchased at a yard sale and ripped to a phone's memory doesn't incur data overage fees.
So, in a world of monopoly internet service, just exactly WHERE would you suggest people take their business?
Presumably to a city whose monopoly home wired ISP happens to be a company other than Comcast. See comments by sglewis100, Zero__Kelvin, allquixotic, Bengie, FlyHelicopters, several anonymous contributors, Thanshin, DiSKiLLeR, another anon, kenh, and postbigbang. Even if you can't move now, you can make abusive Internet access pricing a deal breaker the next time you do move, as suggested by anon, luis_a_espinal, and Gr8Apes.
