Selfish dykes ruining shit for the rest of the lesbians...
From the summary: "The Kansas Department for Children and Families filed the case in October 2012 seeking to have William Marotta declared the father of a child born to Jennifer Schreiner in 2009 so he can be held responsible for about $6,000 in public assistance the state provided"
It wouldn't be worth trying in the USA because even if you win the court case nobody's going to buy your product but if you have enough lawyer money and make the bottles really really different then it ought to stick. In theory.
OTOH CocaCola makes just about every color of can imaginable these days. I'm not sure how you could design it and not have them go after you. At what point do you dilute your own trademark?
That's a candy assed move. Government, please stop giving exclusive use of language to corporations. Some of us still use it for communication.
I guess the little badge on the front of Ford vehicles shouldn't be allowed then....
Do any of you actually know what a trademark is? A trademark isn't just the word, it includes the color, the font, the background, etc. It's a recognizable use of a word.
eg. I can make a soda called "ColaCola", no problem. OTOH if I put it in a red can with the name "ColaCola" in white cursive writing I should expect a lawsuit from CocaCola for trademark violation - even though the name is different (gasp!)
movie piracy (which can cost the film industry millions of dollars in lost revenue, and potentially millions in lost tax revenues on the lost movie revenues)
The problem is that an informed opinion on something complex like climate requires study and education.
The denialist lobby can pay some celebrity or other to say "I don't believe it!" and years of hard work educating the masses will disappear in a puff of smoke.
Yeah it's amazing how every d*ck with an internet connection is suddenly an expert on the weather and climate change.
Yep. Education and/or experience is no barrier to being a fully qualified climate scientist. All you need is opinions and you're as good as the guys in white coats.

If they're offering deals then I think they're worried about what else he knows.
Maybe he's saving the good stuff 'til last.
"Unix is a lousy operating system to put in a workstation" (36 minutes in...)
Damn those Pesky Facts!
The Palestinian doesn't have a trillion dollars of taxpayer money to back him up and he does it himself, not by sending other people to do it for him.
$392 billion spent to create 125,000 jobs (fictitious or not...)
Value for money?
Can't they just divide up the budget between those 125,000 'workers' and be done with it. I can't imagine any of them will complain.
That would free everybody up to work on the drones. Which are the real future.
Unless you lose your job due to illness *after* the child is born. Which is what happened.
Try reading articles.
Do you feel like a loser yet?

So you are really purposing we shut the library and open a day care?
Only if you want the kids to learn anything.
Lend out tools, toys, computers, and other things. The grand idea should be for people to learn for free.

Yeah, except that entire effort is a straw man of colossal proportions. "Climate deniers", really? What, do they deny the climate exists?
They did right up to the point where that argument became unsustainable.
Many climate change skeptics accept the idea of greenhouse gasses and potential warming. What is contested is the severity of future warming, if any
...and then they switched to that little gem to get out of their responsibilities.

The Saudis and Russians have a vested interest in stopping oil development in North America

Good wireless keyboards and mice encrypt the data. Microsoft hardware does this
Yeah, right...

I can't imagine it was very difficult. It's not as if they're trying to hide anything or even pretending it's secure.
It's a 2.4GHz transmitter using GFSK modulation. All the information is in the datasheet, downloadable from their website.
You can get transceivers for a couple of bucks on eBay. Knock yourself out...

Go ahead: try that. We'll wait.

Strippers spell it with a 'k'...
(and frequently with an 'i' at the end)
movie piracy (which can cost the film industry millions of dollars in lost revenue, and potentially millions in lost tax revenues on the lost movie revenues)
Proof...?
Don't you find it just a bit unbelieveable that the FBI is called in to investigate what is merely a matter of policy for a movie theater
...especially since they recently changed their mandate from "Law Enforcement" to "National Security".

This past December the USA recorded a long listing or record low temperatures.
And a long list of record highs over the last decade. Which is it to be?
