> Yes, the library buys the book, but that doesn't benefit the author much - one book will be borrowed by many people, none of whom now have to buy the book, so this is a net loss for the author.
So what?
Once the book is sold, does the author get to decide what is done with it? I can buy a book & then share it with friends and family. Should I send some money to the author then?
I went through the wikipedia article of Public Lending Right - I can't make head nor tail of it.
A Public Lending Right (PLR) programme, is a programme intended to either compensate authors for the potential loss of sales from their works being available in public libraries, or as a governmental support of the arts, through support of works available in public libraries, such as books, music and artwork.
They are already being compensated right - i.e. the library buys the books. Isn't that compensation already?
As a regular end user, I would really prefer my data to be in the hands of a foreign govt than my own govt. The foreign govt doesn't really have any power over me & can't do much with my data.

They can kill foreign people, what's a bloody server.
Wait a few months. These guys will sue Google for stock options, win the case & google will settle for millions. And then back to agencies again.
Wow, that's radical.
This seems to indicate that the same laws were good then & not good now. How?
Solidly built phones. Doesn't look cheap. No lag. Good camera. Good Battery life. Costs around 110-120$ depending on the model.
And what many don't realize is what is called bribery in other countries is called Lobbying and Campaign contributions in the USA.
I think people are exhaling more than they did 20 years back.
The right phrase is "Help me help you". The comma changes the meaning to something irrelevant to this discussion.
I think it's stupid to insure a phone. You insure stuff whose loss or destruction will bring you financial ruin. Not every other stuff.
I don't get the joke.
Yeah, they own more. Their telecom equipment division has 13 billion dollars revenue.
What features did they pull? I recently updated my WP8 to WP8.1 - still haven't figured out what's changed.
How does it go more than 600$/year for you for maintaining an Accord? How many miles do you drive?

So are all the people who funded this company through Kickstarter going to get a cash share or just part of the stock?
> In Germany, insurance that covers passengers is mandatory for anyone driving a car.
Does the regular insuance cover the case where the car is used for commercial purposes as a taxi & the passenger is a paying passenger?

Misquoting Justin, misquoting. Not miss quoting.
They need to pay the ISP for hosting and maintaining it.
I avoid voluntary surgery of all kinds.

They started getting free landlines under Reagan in the 80s - google Lifeline Assistance program. Cellphones were added to it under Clinton.
Nope. It started when Reagan was Prez.
With Obama's current approval ratings at around 40, there is a good chance the next guy is also going get some price at entry for not being Obama.
Kind of stuff having DLP software in place would prevent.
