Suppose I email a link that explains where a certain book is on a shelf in my home? Is that equivalent to copying the book and does it become a copyright violation? If a piece of paper with writing on it falls to the ground and I point to it, is that also not allowed? Whole matter sounds insane to me. Lucky I am in the US where this can't possibly happen.
My brother lost $10k due to an improper risky investment by Morgan Stanley. There was a class action suit which Morgan Stanley lost. My brother got a check for $3 and the lawyers made millions. He tore up the check.
Lots of places with even modest mountains have regions of no signal. Rural Georgia comes to mind as does Hawaii. My brother lives in Morganton, GA and I can't get cell service at his house.
In my granddaughter's high school about 10% of the students are on some kind of ADHD or ADD drug. Many don't take it because they don't like the side effects. The result is that there is a ton of this stuff freely available to students who shouldn't have it. As she describes it, there are students doing lines of Adderoll in the cafeteria. Teachers watch this and do nothing. I am normally fairly liberal about legalizing drugs for adults, but this creeps me out.
When people make my entire retirement savings (me+wife working for 30 years) in a weekend, I wonder why I bothered doing science. Clearly, I was in the wrong line of work and the world changed out from under me.
I really want to read a million-word document on my cell phone screen! Maybe reading the Bible while I'm driving will sort of cancel out, karma wise, sort of...
I used to be a loyal Newegg customer, but their shipping practices leave much to be desired. They used to be blazingly fast, but now they pull some move where they ship via DHL and then hand off to the post office (or the other way round...). Shipping time is poor and they just throw hard drives in a box with no packing. Pretty risky. Not as bad as buying a car battery from Amazon though [They ship it to you and if it is defective, they tell you you can't send it back because a lead-acid battery is hazardous material!]. Last drive I bought was from Microworx which is local to me in Rochester, NY.
They have re-invented the write-only memory or WOM! Back in grad school some friends and I developed a spec sheet for the wood-insulated gate write-only memory or WIGWOM. Another billion dollar idea that went nowhere.

This is one of those ideas that only works if few people do it. Like not getting kids vaccinated. Or super-couponing to get $300 of groceries for $10.

If you're going to make a fake bond, why not make 1 bond worth $6 trillion? It would be so much easier to carry.

"And the Chevy Vega was thoroughly tested for millions of miles before being released to the public." GM has spoken!!
I hate this! I get these calls all the time. Give it up already!!!!!!
Verizon is like this.
If I turned off texting, communication with the granddaughter would go down 99%.
And voice messages. You can't find out who called and you can't block them.

No. Facebook on TV would be.
Cameras come to mind.

How much did they save by using Radio Shack parts in a Mars probe? $5.00 even?
So Gods need protection from Google. This is priceless!
The lawyers promised to do no evil!
At least they didn't buy French cars.
Put me down as one of the academics that, "Never heard of it".
