But is the license from Ford to make a replica of their car or a license to make a different car? The fact that there are two separate licensing paths for the songs IS confusing and obtuse.
Fuck!!! I am a huge Star Wars fan. I can hardly believe they'd hand the franchise to Abrams. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
I like some of the stuff he's done, but his lack of respect for previous cannon on stories really pisses me off. What item of the Star Wars universe will he throw directly in the dumpster in an attempt to be "edgy"? How inconsistent will episodes VII and IX be to VII?. Ala Lost, if the fans guess the bigger plot will he throw that out and then come back to it in a huge convoluted way (yes, I believe Lost was purgatory, but when everyone figured it out Abrams backed off and made the alternate timeline purgatory in the stupidest way possible).
It strikes me that one potential way to solve this is through religious based charity.
The well off are morally compelled by their religion to care for the poor.
and
The poor are morally compelled to better their situation and improve themselves.
Whether or not you like or believe in religion, you can see that the solution to the run away problems in both of the true statements from the parent post is to apply a moral hazard to not trying to improve your individual condition to pull yourself out of poverty or away from creating more mouths to feed that you cannot support.
Agreed. A spare battery becomes too much of a hassle. I used to use one for my laptop, but keeping the swapped out battery charged was a hassle, and eventually you end up always plugging in to charge.
They have lots of worthwhile stuff on that side of the state. Now they will hopefully also start having some jobs out there that aren't all based around tourism.
Spot on for a 6C rise in temperature? Hyperbole much?
A NOAA source indicates that the likely rise is 1.4 - 4 C by 2100, with a possibility of the rise being from 1.1 - 6.4 with different variability factors.
If you're going to be scientific with your statements you MUST deal with confidence levels and ranges. You cannot just take max(estimates) and state that as your only fact. That is propaganda not science.
Wow. Saving "dozens of lives" is turned into "didn't help too much."
THAT is what is wrong with this debate. One side is insisting that ALL killing be stopped no matter what. They conveniently leave out the part the in order to keep everyone perfectly safe they will have to perfectly monitor (as in constant and unescapable) everyone as well.
Khanna got fired for proposing a change less drastic then you are supporting. The big media companies are outrageously evil with respect to copyright law. They will not stop until they get the surveillance state needed to get us to pay them what they think they're entitled to.
There's also a key in the name of the system -- MyMagic+. This soooo sounds like something Disney will be charging a premium to get.
And heres the value proposition they are selling: How much is it worth to you to schedule your visit to their theme park such that you completely minimize the amount of time you spend in lines throughout the day?
They already know in the basic sense where you are since you bought a ticket to their park, how important is the privacy of what ride you are on at what time?
While I loathe Disney's policy with respect to copyright, these people know how to run a good theme park. I love the Disney theme parks.
Bullshit. The analogy with seafaring isn completely appropriate.
Compare Columbus' technology with the tecnology we currently have to go to Mars.
Now, compare our current technology to Columbus' technology.
I believe we have with our current technology the capability to design a ship to go to Mars. Radiation shielding is hard, its not impossible. Heck the circuitry on our robots is susceptible to radiation and that is protected well enough that they can get to Mars and still be working.
The comparison to the Columbus' technology vs. our current seafaring tech is akin to comparing our current tech to what we'll need to travel to another solar system.

And if we could pull that off the ISPs would go running to the FCC asking for common carrier protection so fast your head would spin.
And that is why copyright law needs to be reformed. Seriously, this shit sounds ludicrous for anyone who is not a lawyer.

There are some religions that, contrary to what you were told, believe that God's Grace has no limits...

And Microsoft.
Well you can alway build all your own stuff.
Agreed. A spare battery becomes too much of a hassle. I used to use one for my laptop, but keeping the swapped out battery charged was a hassle, and eventually you end up always plugging in to charge.
The security does not have to be good. The purpose of Mega is to disable the RIAA and MPAA's abilities to see what is shared.
It doesn't matter how bad the encryption is. If the MPAA or RIAA break the encryption on Mega's files they are violating the DMCA plain and simple.
Mega is using the RIAA and MPAA's weapons against them.

NASA also makes some of its software available as open source.
sourced by a French company (Alcatel/Thales).
There's your problem. I was burdened with working with Alcatel equipment in the past. Pure utter garbage.

The problem is that refinery capacity is constrained and every time someone tries to build a new refinery they are nimbyed to death.
That would have been a great response!!
A picture of a completed Lego Death Star with the single word caption -- Done!
No they couldn't have.....
To be quite honest, if Disney opened up a Death Star theme park, I would HAVE to go there....
Yeah, he's just a redneck.
Or maybe, since this is IBM, he's a blue neck?
Its still fun to imagine someone's state of shock on asking a question to Watson and getting an f-bomb in the response...
Dude, that is so true for real PERL devotees... :-)

But its still a good analogy.
