The television industry isn't about ads being inserted into shows; it's about shows being put on to draw people to the ads. Since there are other ways to watch shows, especially if one is willing to wait, sports has become the only "must-watch-live" item, which is why the networks are willing to pay so much for the rights to broadcast sports.
That goes for Facebook and Youtube and all of the other services, too. They just stumbled on cheaper ways to produce their "shows", namely provide the infrastructure for viewers to entertain each other.
No, you can't. In fact, this is related to one of the strange places where government crosses religion. If you label something as complying with religious standards - like food being kosher or halal - then *civil* law says that you must have, and display, certification from a *religious* authority that you actually comply. The civil law does not set the standard, nor does it verify that the religious authority is valid; it just says that if you claim something you have to be able to verify it.
If they are going out of their way to throttle the bandwidth as a function of the quantity of data, then they're lying. Yes, available bandwidth and throughput vary as a function of system load, so if the whole neighborhood is watching youtube things get slower for everyone; but when they list a "cap" and throttle above it, they're contradicting the original promise of "unlimited".
Not recognizing a clone, or rather recognizing it and not allowing it to work on the system, would be one thing. Breaking people's devices so they never work anywhere is another. They're not hurting the cloners; they're hurting the downstream accidental or incidental purchasers who were, themselves, defrauded by the device manufacturer or the parts supplier.
Sorry, I realize that could have sounded patronizing, but I didn't mean it that way. I really think that it's a question of the tool fitting the purpose. *All* of the archive systems I've ever worked with have been designed to *prevent* deletion, accidental or intentional, because they were designed to work with text and documents. (And since you brought up the word, I feel compelled to point out that I did not suggest that you're "stupid" for having different needs, just that maybe it's the wrong tool for your purpose.) Heck, if CVS is doing the job you need done, and you are careful not to destroy the wrong things, then by all means keep using it.
How easy would it be to create different repositories? Then you could save a day's shooting in a short-term repository until you had at least reviewed them, at some point copy over the ones you want to keep to a more permanent repository, and delete the whole short-term repository - admittedly crude, but much less work than rebuilding.
(2) permanently delete those files that I know I will no longer need.
I'm confused. The entire purpose of an archive database is to KEEP things, forever, so you can go back to them when you need to. If you have files that you expect to delete, maybe they shouldn't be going into the database.
Many supermarkets in New York City do this, partly because they have limited physical space for people to wait in front of each register. In turn, it allows registers to be packed closer together, potentially meaning more registers at peak time.
My apologies if it seems I'm duplicating the post "Name" saying "Drone or RPV?". These things are not autonomous drones; they are actively controlled by people. There is no ATC of the things in the air; it's all about the various people wherever they happen to be on the ground.
There's a park near us where people fly RC planes. Fun to watch, and people keep them over the park, and there's no question they're controlled. The first time someone put up a multi-rotor, though, someone asked, "Is that a drone? Can it go by itself?" No. It's an RC plane just like everything else. And if you keep it over the open land in the park, and stay away from people's windows, you'll be fine.
Second the motion. My wife and I were in the wedding party of a dual wedding - two brothers marrying two sisters - held at a college chapel with the reception being a backyard open house (the mothers were both great cooks), with well over 200 friends, relatives, classmates, and random neighbors. Both couples still married 35+ years later. It's about the sort of people who have a large social circle.
Maybe we think the internet's worked fine for 30 years....
Yes. And maybe some people think it was *great* that their parents hit them with a belt, and it's *right* that plebes and pledges should be abused. OTOH maybe some people reach for other old behavior models like "chivalry", and feel that the world would be nicer if more did. One can disagree vehemently without threatening personal injury; one can be blunt and truthful about pointing out error without being an a**hole. Poor behavior is not harmless. The fact that we can't do much about it should not lead us to accept or encourage it.
Different shapes in our iconography and languages turn out to be influenced by the True Shapes, as our world is but a shadow of the True Realm.
But where are the curves? Where are the non-right-angles (mustn't forget the pyramids)? Perhaps it's all a question of which True Shapes visited our world, like Babylon 5's explanation of all our religions as a proxy war between the law-and-order Vorlons and the what-do-you-want Shadows. (As opposed to Stargate's "chariots of the gods" theme of a proxy war between . . . other aliens.) Or maybe it's about how shadows falling on Earth's curved surface become non-Euclidean (what Tetris shape gives a shadow like a yin-yang symbol? Hmm ..)
Wasn't there a magazine article years ago suggesting that one should never make restaurant reservations under one's real name? Instead, use a name appropriate to the cuisine of the restaurant - or, if traveling, the local language. It's more likely to be recognized, and may get you more karma points in advance.
One of the earliest episodes involving Captain Sheridan involves Starfuries rotating around their axes while translating (moving) in a different direction, so Sheridan can look "backward" https://www.youtube.com/watch?.... White Stars similarly rotate into position to strafe a "cut" along the length of their target (again while translating in a direction at 90 degrees to the direction they are facing and aiming). Except they also swooped around in curves that only work with aerodynamics, and often did both swooping and realistic-physics moves in the same battle.;-) Gotta allow for the expectations of the audience.:-):-)
After the first few deliberate shockers, I came to the conclusion that GRRM is saving time on role-playing the story, and just rolling dice every so often. The reason it's taking so long for the next book is that he's been accepting deliveries from Chessex by the container-load, and he can't roll them all any more.
So did you force them to get the proper cultural education? Beach Boys, Beatles, all the good stuff? And make them watch black-and-white films, like the Marx Brothers (so they'd know what Animaniacs was referencing)?:-):-) I did. My son has since thanked me profusely. Mark Twain: “When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”
Or maybe NOT a malfunction, but a deliberate effort to mislead. One of the stories posited robots serving a human a poisoned drink, despite their programming, because of careful commands and incomplete information: one put poison in a container, another transferred containers, the third took the drink to the human. EXACTLY THE SAME SETUP was used in the very beginning of "Downton Abbey", when a sequence of miscommunication caused a server to (almost) carry a bowl of rat poison to the dinner table. It's also a similar setup to "which cup is poisoned and/or who drinks the wrong cup" in numerous plays and movies ("Hamlet" for a start).
I think you missed the point of many of Asimov's stories. Edge cases are the normal situation - human beings are always on an edge case in some dimension. Any simplistic set of rules, including all the great slogans and sound bites of capitalism and marxism and socialism and every other political system, are just too simple because the real world is complex.
Regarding the "making people listen" - this was in response to Just Some Guy's " if my kids whined... about me giving them a copy of an album..." , and does not correlate exactly with the original Apple situation. My bad.

Not sure where you live, but I wasn't brought up to think it was acceptable to "beat the holy hell" out of anyone. Well, maybe in self-defense.

If they're re-using FTDI's manufacturer ID, then they're counterfeit. I agree that blocking use and announcing why is very different from vandalism.

You may have missed the word, "volunteer". Maybe they can't add staff. If there's only one staffer at a time, then one-at-a-time is the only way.

You are ignoring the fact that people are a resource by itself.
Of course, they're the main ingredient in Soylent Green!

With ticket numbers being assigned by the register / receipt printer, they could be successive Fibonacci numbers or whatever else people want.
Well, there you go, I can hear the baristas calling "Free Man" every few orders . . . .
