Licensing should matter fuckall in this case. The first sale doctrine as originally established in Bobbs-Merrill Co. v. Straus is supposed to override any licensing, as copyright does not give the original producer the authority to restrict resale, so you don't need any license.
They broke the law. Despite being a crappy EULA or not, that's the agreement the user enters into with Apple in order to legally license the product. The courts don't rule via crap-o-meter, they rule by what the law says.... well, they're supposed to. I feel suspiciously certain many will rule depending what the 'Buck' says too but that's beside the point.
Bobbs-Merrill Co. v. Straus
Look it up and explain why you think this is different.
First sale doctrine doesn't allow you to violate the EULA.
That's pretty much the entire bloody intent of the doctrine.
See Bobbs-Merrill Co. v. Straus.
"The price of this book at retail is $1 net. No dealer is licensed to sell it at a lower price, and a sale at a lower price will be treated as an infringement of the copyright" was tossed out as an invalid use of copyright. An EULA is no different.
Unless he's putting his wrist directly to their chest, the field strength wouldn't be strong enough to do anything, and even at near-zero distance, this kind of magnet wouldn't likely be strong enough to have any effect
But DO have a plan for replacing it, preferably in a very quick manner. Even good old stuff doesn't last forever and Murphy will ensure it's gonna retire when you really really need it.
by mandating that every solder connection be what used to be called a "cold joint".
Lead-free solder doesn't create a cold joint any more than leaded solder does when used properly. It's just that it's difficult to tell the difference between a good joint and a cold joint visually with some of the alloys, like SN97C, as the joint will always appear dull, unlike the clear shiny-good-dull-bad you get with leaded solder.
It was originally DuPont's (They came up with it in the 30s), then it got cut down by 3 words (It was originally "Better things for better living...through chemistry") and re-purposed. DuPont dropped the "through chemistry" bit in the 80s and dropped it entirely in the late 90s.
In general, a message sent to a landline will just be dropped silently.
Some cell phone carriers offer an sms-to-voice service, which will ring the phone, then read the message to the other guy, but AFAICT, it isn't very common.
It is so bad that the US Federal Government payments for health care are per capita what Canadians pay for health care.
Greetings from Blighty! Your govt is paying out more per head than my govt. And we all get "free" healthcare. Ain't civilisation grand!
Actually, government spending between the US and Canada on healthcare is about the same. The difference is that the US pays again as much in private spending.
Bell, Telus, Sasktel, and MTS all have legacy CDMA networks, but they also have GSM/UMTS "4G" networks they're using going forward. I don't think Bell and Telus sell CDMA devices anymore, but Sasktel does and they'll probably keep selling the M800 until Motorola stops making it. It's popular with the guys who work the oil sands and extreme rural areas is one case where GSM just doesn't work worth a damn thanks to the excessive cell size restriction.
"It fizzled. In the meantime, record voter suppression laws have been successfully passed by the far right kooks in a number of states"
I'm not an expert on internal USA matters, so I won't doubt you are in the truth.
But certainly not because of the provided evidence... which I took the time to read and that basically ends up to: "nine states won't allow to cast votes to badly or un-identified persons". I happen to think that's a good thing.
In and of itself, it's good.
Add up the entire picture, including aspects such as unreasonably restricting what is considered valid ID, adjusting locations of where those IDs can be obtained, and the cost of said IDs, and it looks much less like a good thing.
When the bundled software doesn't cause people who have to work with it to want to reduce the entire city of Redmond to a smoldering crater, it's fine.
AFAICT, they have yet to include any such software, but its always a possibility.
surely the crap spewed into the atmosphere by continuous seismic events must far outweigh your "graphed" metrics. Each side of the debate is hindered by FUD so choose your arguments carefully.
Even during the lead up to the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, CO2 and equivalents emissions were much lower than they are currently (1.1 to 6.32 billion tonnes per year. Compared to about 30 billion tonnes per year at present). Atmospheric temperatures got far higher than they are at present (6-9C), but over a far longer period of time (~20,000 years)
1- He wanted to sell a "vaccine alternative" 2- He decided the best way to do that was if people were afraid of vaccines. 3- Profit
Not quite correct. He didn't want to sell a vaccine alternative, he wanted to sell an alternative vaccine. He had a stake in a company that made a measles vaccine and wanted to defame the MMR vaccine in favor of that.
Hulu is getting harassed by the studios so they're either going to have to jack up their prices, eliminate content, or do something like proving you already pay.
Harassed by the studios? They ARE the fucking studios!
Hulu is wholly owned by NBCUniversal (who are 51% owned by Comcast), Fox, and Disney.

They bought an "upgrade" licence at retail, and used it in a capacity outside the terms of the licence
And R.H. Macy & Co bought a book at retail and sold it at a price outside the terms of the license.

They're filing chapter 11 bankruptcy, not chapter 7.
Not promising regardless, but they're apparently not giving up yet.
Three words : inverse square law.

The iron in hemoglobin isn't affected by magnetic fields.
Also, this technique has been used for some time to attach the external parts of cochlear implants.
No, the title is wrong.
He has a bio-compatible stainless steel place in his skin, and a magnet outside the skin sticking to that plate, and an ipod sticking to that magnet.
If it works, don't replace it.
But DO have a plan for replacing it, preferably in a very quick manner. Even good old stuff doesn't last forever and Murphy will ensure it's gonna retire when you really really need it.
A place I used to work at had a couple machines built on Adek boards for running a few bits of equipment.

I believe the message would just get dropped in that case, but unless you're using a phone from the 90s, it will support SMS.

You and him are reading it backwards. It's "opt in to look at porn", aka "opt out of the filter".

Guess it's time for another reformation. I wonder if they can get it done in less than 131 years this time.
AFAICT, this isn't genetic engineering, just old fashioned selective breeding.
And if selective breeding can manage it, it can happen on its own if the proper selection pressure comes into play.

For clarification, their number is 0.3–1.7Petagrams (1Pg=1 billion tonnes) of carbon per year. Multiply by 3.67 to convert to CO2.

Obviously, things did not go according to plan.

What executive at Hulu got their pockets lined by making this happen?
Why would they need to do that when Comcast (by way of NBCUniversal), Fox, and Disney outright own Hulu?
