So if A gives something to B, and then B passes on to C without A's permission, and C profits from it, C has no responsibility?
Interesting... in this situation we're considering whether Google has a responsibility to do something about this issue because it happened to index all these search results, but when it comes to Google being able to help you find torrents we think they should just display the results like they're supposed to and not pick sides in the copyright cops little war.
To be consuming 15.5 hours of media per day that would imply people only spend half and hour for all non-media activities if they're getting 8 hours of sleep.
Half an hour for all showering and grooming, eating, etc. Even if you are listening to the radio as you commute to work there's still the few minutes you spend walking from your car in the lot to your desk at work that would need to be part of that figure.
nonsense, they were success in early 80s. that business model was what every VHS shop had, except BlockBuster's rates were lower, they had more of the popular movies and the fine was nominal.
What? Lower?
They might have had a larger selection than some of the other rental shops in town by being a larger store, but they were easily $1-2 higher than the grocery stores and other places with video rental businesses in my town. I can't understand why people rented from them to start with except marketing brainwashing them into thinking it was a better place somehow.
Our closed five years ago at least and just sat as an empty building on what is a major commercial drag in town. I think they just recently finally removed the awnings out front and the last of the shelves and store fixtures inside.
No sign on anything going in there anytime soon. Still for lease.
We aren't even talking about citizens being the recorders (which would be super-ironic).
When the people in your government don't trust their closest co-workers, there's reason to be concerned about the health of the entire leadership system.
It might be a way of praising Maryland for being open about the existence of global warming and what it will cause in the future, instead of politicizing it by burying its head in the sand and pretending it doesn't exist.
But the tests are supposed to measure how well teachers/schools perform, not how well parents perform. Whether the tests do that is a different question.
6 years old is nearly the beginning of formal schooling for most kids. How can the school be responsible (and needing to be measured performance-wise) for the child's development at that point?
I found that in Austin, everyone did things at the same times they do them in New York, despite the difference in time zone. People got to work at 8 am instead of 9 am, restaurants were packed at 6 pm instead of 7 pm, and even the TV schedule was an hour earlier.
Uh, yeah. TV shows are going to run an hour earlier. Network and cable television channels are run on two different station feeds, one runs on Eastern Time, the other runs on Pacific. People who live in Central Time are going to be given the Eastern feed since it more closely meets the intended broadcast time of the shows. Television, while the content itself is pre-recorded, is shown live from the feed. A local delay of an hour on all programming wouldn't even be an option on satellite since the same dish up in the sky is being used for multiple time zones. So the famous line "Film at 11" referring to the nightly news is for ten o'clock news over here.
How can food in prison be a commodity? Are the prisoners not fed enough?
Of course they are. It's easy to make sure they're fed enough since we know all humans require the exact same number of calories a day.
Just like how prisoners are able to safely serve out their sentence (to be separated from society and freedom for a specified amount of time) and aren't subjected to things that aren't part of their punishment (like physical violence and sexual assault by other inmates).
So we took your crotchety-old civil liberties, and set you up with the new TSA hotness! But we went further and now we got you some security for your securiy. So now with us checkpointing the checkpoint, you can fly to the M-A-X at L-A-X, and be safe from everyone-- but us.
So whats the solution? Make it illegal to state a political opinion? Make it illegal to pay someone to state theirs? Make it illegal to say political opinions on the air?
How about this: Seize infrastructure using Eminent Domain. Allow current incumbents free use of it in exchange for upkeep of network, for now. Everything stays status quo for their business, except they no longer actually own the wires. Start to allow other players in to use the network, paying a maintenance fee on the wires, perhaps having most of that go back to the incumbents who are maintaining the wires and still getting their free usage of it. Hey, they're making more money now with competition.
Ultimately, you may want to move to an entirely city-employed or subcontracted maintenance group that is not affiliated with any provider. Then you transition to the old incumbents to the same contracts the new providers were put on.
Which is why it would be better to use the ANI number for Caller-ID instead of a special "Caller-ID" string. You better believe it will be more accurate. The phone wouldn't let people fuck around with the info they use for billing.
That will require a government solution. Either laws preventing health insurance companies from turning down coverage on individuals in that manner, or an actual heath care system for all and an end to regular private insurance.
Or we can go full capitalist and just get rid of health insurance, then the cost of heathcare will have no choice but come down because almost no one will be able to afford the service (causing the providers to go out of business).
What software company is still actively supporting products from 2003?
Which part of 'Windows XP was still being sold on new PCs until two or three years ago' is proving so hard to understand?
How it is Microsoft/third-party developer's responsibility to support outdated OSes just because the OEMs where being sticks in the mud about changing what they sold?
Anyone else notice that leaving noscript on shows you all the answers and just gives you the badge?
If you're versed enough in Internet browsers to use NoScript and not have it ruin your normal web experience, you should be able to pass the test with flying colors anyway.

People needing emergency medical care in Detroit would be interested in hearing this.

Maybe the question was looking an answer of "395" for the number of pennies you would still need to buy the coffee at Starbucks.
It's a firmware update -- it's only for an issue on Surface 2 devices and wont install on a Surface 1. This has nothing to do with Win8 vs. 8.1.
The battery isn't any better. The operating system is just doing a better job managing its power usage of the battery it has.

I'd like to see them demonstrate the Glasses' ability to interact with the Internet from inside a structure made of metal shipping containers.

In not-unrelated news: You can get a Nexus 5 for half the price of an equivalent iPhone.
Does nobody apart from me see that as newsworthy?
People think iPhone is too expensive, shout "Gimmie a break".
New Android version KitKat comes out on half-price hardware.
Makes sense to me.

If you staff your support lines with the cheapest labor you can get, you will end up with a call center of gullible fools.

I sure hope to hell that they are teaching the basics of encryption in journalism classes these days....
