What we're really struggling over is whether this event means we should do something about greenhouse gas emissions.
Let's put it this way. The con artist doesn't believe in climate change and his next big step is to curtail methane gas emission regulations.
That said, he also used global warming (his words) as the excuse to build a sea wall for his failing Irishgolf course:
"If the predictions of an increase in sea level rise as a result of global warming prove correct, however, it is likely that there will be a corresponding increase in coastal erosion rates not just in Doughmore Bay but around much of the coastline of Ireland. In our view, it could reasonably be expected that the rate of sea level rise might become twice of that presently occurring.... As a result, we would expect the rate of dune recession to increase."
"As with other predictions of global warming and its effects, there is no universal consensus regarding changes in these events," it states. "Our advice is to assume that the recent average rate of dune recession will not alter greatly in the next few decades, perhaps as far into the future as 2050 as assumed in the [government study] but that subsequently an increase in this rate is more likely than not."
How is it the multitude of anti-social media companies are being investigated for "stifling" competition, while at the same time Verizon and Comcast get away with deliberately and blatantly stifling competition in the broadband arena?
How many stories have we heard where they won't connect an area with broadband, then fight tooth and nail to prevent someone else from connecting?
The only reason for this "investigation" is because the con artist doesn't like it that people can say mean things about him and get away with it. It has nothing to do with not allowing opposing opinions or racist comments to be heard.
That these checks happened isn't surprising since the hotels did publicly announce their new policies. Then again, had that white guy not gone a shooting spree, none of this would have happened. Actions have consequences and all that.
The only thing they are allowed is to add a note that there are two persons that have the same name and birth date.
Well sure, in a country of a few thousand people this works, how about a country with 300+ million people? Do you know how many Matthew/John/Steve Smiths there are in the U.S.? How about Jones? The number of people with the same birthdate and name is probably more than some cities in both the U.S. and Europe.
How can they use that many words yet manage to say absolutely nothing?
You haven't read reports on when a solar event or something similar is going to happen, have you? Literally everything about the event will be discussed EXCEPT the actual time to look for said event.
Generally it's something like, "On Friday, look to the southwest. .." Okay fine. Friday. What time zone? What time specifically?
It's amazing how this one bit of information is repeatedly left out. Many times the web page for the event is even lacking this crucial bit of information.
What I choose to view. I don't need some lousy piece of software trying to guess what I want to view next or might be interested in, especially when someone else will use that information for their benefit.
Hey, Mozilla, take your stinking software off me, you damn dirty programmers!
Let's see, how about a browser. You know what a browser is, don't you? It's a piece of software which allows one to view web pages and maybe play some content.
A browser does not harass you with add-ons, intrude upon your privacy, hide basic functionality such that one has to tweak settings in some obscure area, or a multitude of other issues which do nothing but slow the browser's ability to render web pages because it's become a bloated sack of yak manure.
KISS. You know what it means, right? Learn it. Live it. Do it.
Who would have thought adding more taxis to city roads would increase traffic? It's almost as if adding more vehicles to a finite space has never been done before.
Is that like the story of the con artist who absolutely refuses to acknowledge Russia did anything to our election despite every single U.S. intelligence agency saying otherwise?
Speaking of going insane (or hoping those tapes don't get released).
Without animal testing you have no understanding of what the chemical will do.
Then use people to find out what the chemicals will do. People are animals.
The whole point of advertising was to generate revenue. They were advertising the area to bring in tourist revenue. That is commercial use.
their use was transformative
No it wasn't. They took the literal picture and displayed it. The only thing they did was shave a bit off the edges. This is completely different than using ten seconds of a two minute song. What they did was used 1:45 of a 2:00 minute song.
the intended use of the expression was to inform rather than simply to entertain or attract attention
They are using his work to attract the attention of tourists which in turn will generate revenue for the area.
they didn't use the entire work.
See previous comment above.
At this point photographers might as well not bother posting any of their works online since people can freely rip them off. After all, everyone is entitled to steal whatever they want without having to pay the owner for their work.
Perhaps I'm missing something on why a cruise-control file download should ever be supported?
Don't you know? It saves time! Having to move your mouse cursor a few inches here or there to click OK to begin a download is too time consuming. Think of all the time you waste every day having to manually click an acceptance button when you want to download a file.
This is the future, old man. Auto download, whether you like it or not. You'll take this file if it has to be shoved down your throat.

by installing directly into the USER's PROFILE when rights to install to SYSTEM are not allowed.
This is why Chrome is malware and not a web browser. It can install without admin privileges and, as you found out, goes around security measures.

If Kavanaugh gets put on the Supreme Court, ISPs like Verizon/ATT/Comcast will be given free reign to rape and pillage users as they see fit.
If one ISP is considered a "competitive market", then what's a little throttling and price gouging among friends?
Sure, if you don't mind waiting a few years to play last year's games.
Why not use a credit card?
Oh right. Your phone. I keep forgetting. A phone is the only way to do transactions any more.
It's no different than being treated as a criminal by the TSA after the 9/11 attacks.
A few bad apples spoil it for the rest of us.
Immediately after the white guy shot up the concert last year, all hotels on the strip changed their rules. From that point on they would not observe the Do Not Disturb sign on doors and would do spot checks of hotel rooms.
Caesar's says they will check rooms daily.
That these checks happened isn't surprising since the hotels did publicly announce their new policies. Then again, had that white guy not gone a shooting spree, none of this would have happened. Actions have consequences and all that.

110 with ~10% humidity is much preferable than 90 with 65% humidity.
Perhaps not wearing black in the sun might help.

If you want to do real work for extended periods of time, you get a desktop.
Unfortunately, Apple has crippled their desktops so you're out of luck there as well.
It's almost as if Apple doesn't understand what a computer is for.
All I see on here are people whining about how much Bezos is worth, yet as far as I can tell, not a single one of you has stopped using Amazon.
If you dislike something so much, don't use it. Isn't that the saying?
Don't like Bezos being so rich, don't use Amazon.

Sort of like how the TSA scanners highlight my Glock every time I try to sneak it through the security line.
So you're part of the 5% the TSA does find when they do their tests.
So what? It's a simple text editor. It does exactly what is needed.
It doesn't need bloat or "features". It allows one to get things done quickly without having to worry about this or that.
If you need functionality, use Notepad++. That's what it's there for. For the rest of us who want speed and ease of use, Notepad all the way.
But in most cases, if you need that much RAM, you probably need a desktop with it.
Apple doesn't believe people who want to do real work want a desktop which is why they've been relegated to the trash can.
Without animal testing you have no understanding of what the chemical will do.
Then use people to find out what the chemicals will do. People are animals.
Looks as if Apple has completely abandoned whatever remained of its desktop line.
Then again, after they pushed out a trash can, how low could they go?
For those who want to do real work, they'll have to keep looking elsewhere.

Considering how long it's taken to get this far in the case, the answer is most likely yes.
