They are not harmed, they sold their entire inventory of tickets at a price they were willing to offer the service of performing for
The second part of this sentence doesn't imply the first. To throw out a hypothesis, it might be that the tickets were deliberately priced below what the market would bear because the aim was not solely to turn a profit on the concert but also to attract lots of impressionable teenagers who might then become life-long fans and spend more on the band over their lifetime than the yuppie who is prepared to pay more for the ticket.
(Actually the biggest example which comes to mind of deliberate underpricing is the BBC Promenade series, and in particular the Last Night. If there were an open market in Last Night of the Proms tickets they'd probably sell for 100 GBP or more, but by making some tickets available to people who queue in person on the day they are able to achieve the aim of making it an event which pretty much anyone near enough London can attend).
You obviously haven't thought this through. Remember, torrent sites steal billions of dollars from hard-working cinematographers. Where do you think that money is going if not to tiny camps in inaccessible parts of distant countries in order to wreak damage and destruction in the heartland of America? Honestly, this stuff is so basic that any junior congressman could understand it...
Jagex may have personnel only in the UK (I think Gerhard was being a bit inaccurate - there certainly used to be also a tiny office in London), but a large number of their servers are in the US because a large proportion of their clients are in the US and they want low latency. If those servers were seized it would mess the company up very badly.
I've just got back from 10 days in Mexico. I love travelling, and seeing the way cultures differ, and it was a fascinating holiday. But do you know what the most astounding thing I saw was? I kid you not: in the Mercado de San Juan de Dios in Guadalajara, Jalisco, there are market stalls selling Windows ME. I was too flabbergasted to ask whether anyone ever bought it.
The SMTP standard defines that for use of servers.
Yes. It's quite clear to me that both Albanach and KingMotley are talking about ISPs blocking outgoing connections from customer's computer, arbitrary port to customer's (or recipient's) mail server elsewhere, port 25.
What you say about my home ISP requiring me to file a request to host a mail server on port 25 is spot on. But what you perhaps don't realise is that some ISPs operate on the basis that if you want to send e-mail from your home computer, you use webmail or you use the e-mail account which the ISP created for you. I started using gmail because Telefónica de España have that policy - and worse than that, weren't even competent enough to send me working auth details for their SMTP server.
I think the Anonymous Coward has a stronger case here. Graceful degradation is the way sites are supposed to work. You can't complain when the snazzy stuff doesn't work with JS turned off, but you can complain when basic forms don't work.
I have a Java program that I wrote in Spanish, and some of the classes had accented characters in their names - Java is fully Unicode already. I had to change them because some filesystems weren't handling the files properly. So language support isn't the only thing that's necessary.
It's easy to spot that you type in English. Those of us who type in other languages which use the Latin alphabet tend to need Alt-Gr and combining diacritics.
And the business includes flight transfers. In a couple of weeks I'm going from London to Mexico. The cheapest routes involve US airlines and a tranfer in the US, but I'm willing to pay extra to fly Iberia via Madrid and avoid US airports.
It used to, but it doesn't any more. Now you have to, at minimum, block static.ak.connect.facebook.com as well. I've installed AdBlockPro today to take care of it in a more sweeping way.
But I think David Emery was wanting a generalisation and just used Facebook as an example. I don't know how well common sites would work with external content blocked - whitelisting would be necessary at least for things like jquery.
I'm trying to remember what we read in English classes. Some Beowulf (with translation into Modern English), some Chaucer, lots of Shakespeare, Silas Marner, To Kill a Mockingbird. And I can honestly say that what I've read by Dan Brown (which doesn't include The da Vinci Code, because I quit after a few paragraphs) was definitely worse.
I don't see any controls which allow me to share something with anyone who specifically looks at my Facebook page, but not with advertisers. But besides that, if it's against Facebook policy for advertisers to use certain data, why are Facebook giving that data to the advertisers in the first place? If there's a specific set of data which they may use, pass them that data, and don't pass them a primary key which allows them to scrape my public page.
I had some JWs visit about 18 months ago. We had a discussion about the appropriate rendition in Spanish of YHWH, they left some literature promising to come back, and didn't. Maybe they were uneasy about discussing the Bible with someone who knows at least two words of Hebrew.

Don't worry, Arthur Lemming will save the day.

I associate it the the Blair Witch Project, which predates Lost by a bit.
You don't have to have a dedicated letter for all of them either
That's good, or you'd have to *add* a bunch of letters to English, which uses 5 letters to represent about 20 vowel sounds.

If you don't understand multiplication then it's irrelevant whether there are computers or not: you're wasting your time in a physics lesson.
Remind me again why we haven't burned DC to the ground yet?
Because you're afraid that the Canadians will take the credit?

Ah, I was misled by the name. Generally I expect Foo-Base to be the core part of Foo which everything else depends on.
You could evaluate it using the Windows or Linux VM, but you'd have to use -Xss.
Can't run OO.o (or LibreOffice) for a start.

I scared that you think "The da Vinci Code" is a textbook, or even something which might be used in English Literature classes. Very scared.
Some of the damage we've done is visible from the moon. Take the Aral sea: down from almost 70000 square kilometres to under 20000.
From reading the list of attacks I think Lynx should be, provided you tell it not to store the "normal" cookie.

Potentially a lot more than some professors grading data where he stupidly tracks students by their full soc number.
How would a professor get the students' SSNs in the first place? The university should have no need for SSNs assigned to anyone except employees.
