You must not live in California. The cancer warnings don’t tend to show up on food, but they’re on building entrances, gas pumps, construction equipment, half the stuff in the hardware store. Usually it’s because there is lead or something somewhere, regardless of quantity or how exposed it is. So the sign is useless because it doesn’t differentiate between a toxic waste dump and a place that sells tobacco. (I exaggerate, but just barely.)
No argument here. The differentiation between cookie types has been frequently elided by people railing against them — they say “argh cookies” when they mean “argh third-party cookies;” the same thing I did s/third/first.
What was that short story about the one of the few non-genetically-engineered teenagers in a school full of kids who’d been engineered to be good-looking and highly intelligent? She catches all kinds of passive-aggressive shit until a dormant flaw manifests in all the GM kids; it ends with her delivering the commencement address calling for empathy for the now-disabled. Or something. I’m drawing a blank.
If a browser is allowing your privacy to be invaded via tracking cookies, that's a problem with the browser. Not that the shady sites are free of responsibility, but you the user don't have to prove anything in any case.
An absurdly exaggerated analogy: If an OS shipped with all ports open by default and replied to any request with the contents of your address book, would it make more sense to make the manufacturer fix the faulty OS, or to try to prosecute everyone everywhere who took advantage of it?
This is stupid. Why is the burden on millions of websites instead of a handful of browsers? Mandate that any web browser distributed in the U.K. default to "Ask me before allowing cookies." It should be the default anyway.
Why isn’t it incumbent upon the examiner to follow citations? When you submit an academic paper, you don’t include the full text of everything in the bibliography.
What happened is a disagreement over whether the use of the mark is derogatory, not a violation of the nonexistent requirement to seek permission in advance.
Generally, producers can include a trademark in a movie or TV production as long as it does not result to particular changes in the trademark or the product bearing the trademark outside the trademark holder's intention. Disputes may arise if the two parties don't agree with how the trademark should be used.
So no, they don't need clearance to use the brand in an unaltered and non-derogatory fashion.
It may be "something that looks the same", but if they didn't ask LV for permission, then it is IP infringement.
That's just not true. LV's only case would be if their brand were defamed by its use in the movie, like if a character said “Man, these Louis Vuitton bags are of surprisingly low quality!”
LV is alleging trademark infringement, which is why it's relevant that Warners doesn't make handbags. Your attempt at a parallel is copyright infringement, where it would be irrelevant that you don't make anything they do.
That's from the Batman movie. The fingerprints thing was a ploy by the Penguin to get himself taken into the Batcave secretly carrying his dehydrated thugs, whom he accidentally reconstitutes with heavy water due to his umbrella handle snagging on the water fountain lever, moving it from "light" to "heavy." As a result, the thugs turn back to dust at the slightest impact, foiling the Penguin's infiltration.
You might as well argue that no american soldier knows the CIA tortures prisoners. That no soviet soldier knew about deportations to siberia.
I don't see anyone claiming that no soldiers knew. But if it were such common knowledge among average Wehrmacht grunts and civilians, it would have been common knowledge among Allied soldiers and civilians too, and it wasn't.
government invented the terms 'cheese-eating surrender monkeys'
While Springfield Elementary is a public school -- technically making Groundskeeper Willie a government employee -- it's a bit of a stretch to say that "the government" invented that phrase.
Sorry I insulted you. I've admined thousands of Macs and I've never seen the problem you're describing. Do the Unicode characters show up correctly when you print to PDF?

So why doesn’t the DLC require the same amount of thorough testing, mastering, etc.?

Again, who is asking you to justify yourself?
First-party cookies do not track your “browsing habits” anywhere but on the particular site that you are visiting, and they already know you’re there.
If a browser is allowing your privacy to be invaded via tracking cookies, that's a problem with the browser. Not that the shady sites are free of responsibility, but you the user don't have to prove anything in any case.

How do non-third-party cookies invade your privacy?

Agreed on "San Fran," but try telling the local Hells Angels that they're tourists.
our rents are high enough as it is
The article is clearly a generalization. Your single anecdotal data point doesn't debunk it.
You could use .mailcap entries to pipe those attachments to appropriate viewers/readers.

Less than one.
And there's the classic Steve Albini analysis of how a typical major label contract shakes out monetarily. (Summary: The band gets screwed.)

Deus Ex had multiplayer. Wasn't very popular though.
I dunno about Europe and Canada, but in US culture we do talk about what we do in the toilet in polite company.
See, this is why you never get invited to dinner parties.
