Some people actually want to buy decent items, not just the cheapest items.
If there are enough people like that, then Mom'n'Pop will do just fine. And if not...well, I have a really nice pair of antique lamps that I'd really like to fire up with whale oil, the way they were intended to be used, but it's a real bitch finding whale oil these days. Whale oil has just passed out of fashion, I guess, and I can either pay some exorbitant amount to get it for me specially, or I can do without, but either way it seems kind of silly for me to complain about how stupid everyone else is for not favoring whale oil any more.

Yeah, great, but the devil is always in the details on this sort of thing. If the goal is that "STIX fonts will be made available, under royalty-free license, to anyone, including publishers, software developers, scientists, students, and the general public," let's just put them in the public domain and skip licensing altogether.
Imagine if this sort of thing catches on? There could be hordes of attractive women, suddenly unemployed, mostly unemployable, and in desperate need of help. Who will help the booth babes?
Well, I will. I know it's a huge sacrifice, but dammit, someone's gotta step up to the plate here. If there are any former booth babes out there who need someone to talk to, or a shoulder to cry on, or a bed to sleep in, I'm completely available.
That is, I will be - as soon as my wife reads this post.:-/
But most big titles are familiar, critics say. Eight of the top 10 best-selling games in mid-April were sequels, some on to their fourth or fifth iteration, according to NPD Group.
Sounds like Hollywood now, for crying out loud. This year, among others, we've got the sixth Star Wars, the fifth Batman movie, the fourth Harry Potter. And let's not mention the slew of derivatives drawn from other genres - Fantastic Four, Dukes of Hazzard - or the remakes of earlier films - Pink Panther, The Love Bug, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, War of the Worlds. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera - hell, if the gaming industry is as dry for new ideas as Hollywood is, might as well give 'em the big budgets to cover for it - if I can't have original, at least blow some shit up for me in a really expensive way.
Not exactly. The claim is that, because Apple is using "Tiger" to promote retail sales through its Apple stores and Apple website, it is infringing on Tiger Direct's service mark covering retail sales of computers and software.
A service mark is a type of trademark, except that "trademark" is a general term that applies to borh goods and services, whereas a service mark applies only to services being offered or sold. Other than that, the terms are basically interchangeable.
I am looking for prepaid plans where the minutes don't expire. If anyone knows of such plans, please let me know.
Hello foe, what do you know? Sorry, I'm still amused by being on someone's foe list, so you'll have to suffer said amusement for a moment. Going by your handle for a moment, I imagine it's my politics that landed me on your list, but what can you do?;)
Anyway, I don't know of any prepaid plan where the minutes never expire, but Virgin Mobile does have a minimum of $20 every 90 days. $80 for a year's worth of service isn't so bad - it's horrendously expensive if you actually intend to do a lot of talking, of course, but if the idea is just to have one handy for emergencies and such, it's not so bad. Best you'll likely do, I'm afraid.
That's what they want you to think, that their plan for world domination must roll through the IATC. But it's a distraction, a ruse, a smokescreen. While we're all paying attention to the IATC, they're tightening their control of the one agency that's been able to resist them. Keep this to yourself, but...the key agency is...the Mount Hood Cable Regulatory Commission.
If the IRS rules allow you to "exclude" the foreign income (as they do for Canadian income for example), then you are lucky. If you cannot "exclude" that income due to a lack of a tax treaty or similar provisions, they you will end up needing to cut a cheque to the IRS.
Everyone, tax treaty or no, has some options. If you're a full-time resident of a foreign country, you can exclude up to $80,000 of your foreign-earned income from your US tax return. If you don't meet the test for residency in a foreign country, you can still get a tax credit for foreign taxes you paid. Or a deduction if you itemize, but most people are better off with the credit.
I see that, but it doesn't change anything - he still has, as a felon and involuntary resident, fewer rights than the rest of us.
At first glance, the court looks like it split the difference, but this is very much a pro-defendant ruling - they have more or less a free hand to determine what material is theraputically appropriate for their patients, and so the judge ordered them to give him the book, sans the portions that they deem unfit. Which still leaves the door wide open for the next book to be, in their professional opinions, unfit in its entirety, at which point they have the judge's blessing to withhold it.
Well, the fact that I'm not involuntarily incarcerated seems to be a pretty major difference between his situation and mine.
Seriously, I don't see quite what the fuss is about - prisoners, by their nature, have fewer rights than the rest of us. Your mail is opened, your phone conversations are recorded - you basically have no privacy whatsoever - and any materials that your keepers deem unsuitable are and always have been off-limits. It's a facility for holding and treating convicted sex offenders, not a summer camp.
It's not supposed to be easy for the unelected branch of government to override Congress. Regardless, the fact that is difficult does not bail out the original poster, who claimed it was flat-out impossible to challenge a law without first running afoul of it - in fact, it happens all the time, with varying degrees of success.
In order to challenge a blatantly unconstitutional and unjust law, I must first become its victim, because I cannot challenge a law until I have been brought up on charges based on that law.
False, moderation notwithstanding. The term you're looking for is "facial challenge".
If Windows were properly locked down (ala User rights for students) then Windows wouldn't be able to properly detect and use said hardware device.
Ummm, what? I don't think you understand how these things work - it's basically some flash memory and a microcontroller. All the thing does is record the keystrokes that it receives and passes them along to the computer - it's totally OS-independent. There's no way to "lock down" the OS to prevent something like this from being installed, as it neither needs nor uses any resources on the host computer. The only way to prevent it is to prevent physical access.

What about my situation? I mean, my boss is pretty big, but I don't know if he has any attachments...

On your behalf, a lot of folks did that - forgetting to search for trademarks owned by Systemax. So it wasn't just you ;)
You'd think I'd have learned that by now ;)
It was? Did nobody bother to search TESS? Try serial # 75915934.

You never heard this, and we've never met.

I would have thought the audience for this was probably pretty narrow, but then I guess I don't really know that much about /.'ers after all.

Yeah, they discontinued Itanium-XP three weeks ago. Mea culpa.
-1, Wrong. 64-bit XP for Itanium was released almost four years ago.
