If I dig a hole that looks just like yours and never touch your hole at all. Do you still want to be paid? What if I email all my friends and give them instructions to make their very own hole just like yours?
That's the kind of thinking that has people registering as a sex offender for life just for pissing in public. I had a friend who committed suicide because he was arrested for pissing in some bushes and was facing "sex" charges. Assault is assault and there is no need to infer sexual connotations. It cheapens real sexual assault crimes. I always thought kissing, with or without permission, and molesting were two different animals.
The top three stories on this morning's local news show was:
Man busted for child porn
Massage parlors raided for prostitution
Man arrested for "molesting" girls in park by tongue kissing them
I find it odd that most of the people in power came from the generation of "free love" and are so obsessed with preventing sex. In the mean time, I have more hardcore porn channels available on my cable PPV than there were porn theaters in the late seventies. WTF?
I bought a Samsung Rugby. It couldn't be more indestructible if it was made by Tonka. I have dropped it too many times to count. I took it swimming accidentally by forgetting that it was in my trunks pocket. It still lives. By this time in my contract, I had broken the hinge on my RAZR and before that my kids ruined my LG, when they dumped a glass of water on it while it was on the charger.
My Rugby's sound is clear. The microphone is sensitive. The reception is great. It could wake the dead when it rings. It's a great phone. I turned off the PTT and web access when I bought it, and it works perfectly as a PHONE!
Although my ex's personality shift runs much deeper than motherhood, it is most pronounced to me. I suspect this is due to the fact that I am sole care giver to my kids now.
In fact, when we were first married, becoming a mother was her highest priority to the exclusion of all else. This was long before she became so obese. She was quite attractive back then.
She was a doting mother for many years. I would definitely say "sociopathic" is the operative word now. She has become a pathological liar and stands by her lies, even when it is brought to her attention that they are demonstrably untrue. She went from an unapologetic atheist to a bible thumping, scripture quoting, reformed Christian and then to a "Sunday only" Christian, while the whole time committing adultery on her current husband. (She has since left him too, but they are still legally married) She is nothing like the woman I married so many years ago.
Tell that to my ex-wife who went nuts after a gastric bypass operation. She could not be more different now. And I am NOT talking about weight. She barely acknowledges our kids now.
I pay copyright law no respect, and will not do so unless it it reformed to bring it back in line with sensible terms
You responded by calling him a cheapass. I doubt he is pirating the "small artist" works that you seem to fret over. I'll bet he is ripping DVDs and CDs from the big guys. That is why he feels no guilt. I don't blame him.
Does it not bother you in the least that many if not most of us will be dead and buried before we can legally copy recordings from WWI as per TFA?
Or is it just collateral damage so your "small artist" can sell his CDs? You may ignore Disney, and Time Warner and BMG, and all the others, but they are bending you over. Don't try to deny it. Every time I read about estates of Philip K Dick or JRR Tolkien or others suing somebody, I have to ask, how is this promoting anything artistic?
I once had an observer remark to me that I was the fastest two finger typist she had ever seen. I have honed my skills since then. I use *SEVEN* fingers now! Maybe by the time I retire, I will use all ten.
saying you disagree with the mechanism by which a creator has chosen to be compensated and yet still choosing to benefit from their work, well that just makes you a freeloading cheapass.
Does that mean that the Walt Disney Corporation is a "freeloading cheapass" for benefitting from the work of Collodi, Hans Christian Andersen, the Brothers Grimm, Washington Irving, Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson, Mark Twain, and others without compensating them? The "mechanism" creators have chosen to be compensated has been manipulated by powerful media companies to their own benefit. Lap dogs like yourself seem to think it is justifiable to enact laws to steal from the public domain.
In Ohio, it's called Illegal use of minor in nudity-oriented material and it's a felony unless you can prove you have a "proper interest" in the material.
One year, I had a sale of home by land contract. It was a half residence and half rental. Between imputed interest, recapture of depreciation, postponement of home sale capital gains, and business income and expenses, it was a snakepit of forms. I did my own taxes, because I was too cheap to pay someone. Calling the IRS for clues was useless. Three calls would result in three different answers, even when they had some knowledge about land contract sales. When I knew more than the IRS did about their own rules, I figured I was ready.
I gotta stop getting my news from the Internet. I totally missed Congress' declaration of war. I was under the impression that we were allied with the government of Afghanistan. BTW, Mr. high and mighty, why did you capitalize Afghanistan and not United States? Are you some kind of treason supporter?
When I was in high school back around 1982, my buddies and I would do exactly what you described minus the GPS. We called it boonie-cruising. We would leave home in a chosen direction and begin making random turns when we hit unfamiliar territory.
We used the sun to navigate our way back to civilization once we were totally lost. We knew which general direction we started. We found lots of cool stuff that way. Using a GPS seems like cheating. It sucked when it clouded up on us and we did have a few fuel scares...
Every now and then, a new gimmick comes along and everybody goes nuts until it quietly fades away. I'm old enough to remember the "Sensurround" releases of the seventies. For a while, nearly every movie was "released in Sensurround." 3D movies are the new Sensurround or maybe old3D. Sooner or later, movie goers will get their fill of the gimmick and start thinking hard about the 3D premium on their tickets. Eventually, this too will fade.
Sony's patent, while hideously obvious, might last longer if it can be implemented well without too much loss of brightness. I suspect though, that with the reported problems caused by the technology with people's perception of "true-life" 3D, the lawyers will kill it eventually anyway.
By your own admission, the brakes worked just fine during a throttle incident. It is demonstrable that at full throttle and highways speeds, the brakes will still slow down and stop the vehicle when applied. How do you reconcile with claimants' assertions that brakes have no effect?
Take a bunch of chickens, choose one, and put a red dot of paint on it. All the other chickens believing it to be an injury, will peck it to death. Do you REALLY think the media is not exactly the same? Do a little Google search for Britney Spears...
The other manufacturers have similar issues. Toyota has the red dot.

They be axing fo' help translatin'...
You are technically correct.
That's the best kind of correct...
Hell, I watch Survivorman. I can do it with just a multi-tool. Beat that.
Fallacy? Windows IS broken... Horribly... In fact, I'm making a fortune cleaning up viruses in my spare time from many of those broken Windows.

And yes, for once, steal is the correct word.

If you only have W-2 or 1099 income, it's easy.

It'll be Zune 2.0. Will it come in Brown?

Mary Pickford notwithstanding, This is the third big wave of 3D movies.
What is different this time?

I haven't even tried cheesing, and now everybody has moved on to something else?

Yet the ECU appears fine after the "incident."
