I'm reading the comment your replied again and again. I literally see nothing wrong with it and nothing to prompt such a...harsh response. He's a religious nut. By all means, everything I've ever seen pertaining to him indicates this. I don't understand where your rant is coming from. Even my most adamantly religious friends consider this guy a nut...
But a native English speaker (are you?) is almost certainly going to pronounce "waze" identically to "ways".
Actually, no. At first glace I would pronounce it with a hard Z sound, more like "was".
Are you saying no to the (are you?) in the previous post? Because, like most native english speakers, I'd pronounce waze like daze, gaze, laze, blaze, haze, etc. Which is homophonic to ways.
I'm actually with this AC. I haven't been on SF in probably 3-4 years. Back then I never had issues and would actually look for stuff on SF. Now I don't have as much downtime for that sort of work/play, so I haven't been on, but I'm about to have significantly more free time soon and thus this is a timely notification to stay away.
The cost of implementing all of the power management for the optional 100W facilities will be non-trivial. Substantially more than barrel jack expecting a voltage a bit higher than the laptop's battery voltage. Posh laptops may support what you suggest but I doubt it will be a universal feature.
I'm confused, are you meaning that creating the power supply would be difficult or the internals of the laptop would be difficult? Because both of those exist already (granted, not necessarily at 100W), as evidence by a fewdifferentproducts. It took a while for USB 3 to come to budget oriented devices as well.
I love Steve. He's freaking ridiculous. I've known him for a few years. That being said, he's a niche at best. I've never agreed that he is the mainstay, nor that his mentality is even remotely standard for the industry, but I love the way he goes. He's literally never taken "points" (percentage points) as a producer of a song/album. He sees it as he gets paid out right for it and that's that. I love that about this guy!
I can't say I agree that his mentality of musicians not holding copyright is normal or correct, but I respect the guy and love seeing him and his articles/arguments.
Still we're talking non-violent crimes... Compare this to the money laundering schemes many major American banks have been fined for... But in which no criminal persecution took place.
So where does selling a fake passport to a murderer or a rapist come in on your scale of "non-violent crimes"? I'm not saying that the stupid regulations about the banks aren't as screwed up or moreso, I'm just saying that there's plenty of things going on beyond the sale of those drugs that seem to be the only thing anyone cares about.
It costs more than that to ship a pack of guitar strings (I work in music retail shipping equipment all across the US). USPS is the cheapest and that costs $3.00 plus $0.95 for insurance. FedEx and UPS come in at around $11 to ship (including insurance) halfway across the country, and that's at our discounted rates. I literally lose money every time someone orders a pack of strings through me.
Companies that ship stuff like that for free are using them as loss leaders in hopes that you'll come back and buy something big from them that they can recoup the shipping costs and make a profit. I would bet that USB PacMan light comes in at around 10-15 pts of margin, so once they pay the credit card fees, if you weren't shipping it, they'd be making a whopping $5 gross profit. Again, that's gross profit. Even if they have a whole bunch of robots that handle literally every step they can, net profit on a piece like that (after you pay shipping) can't be much more than $2, and I'm probably guessing high.
This does make things a little more fuzzy. I wouldn't be surprised if a local professional photographer was already given an exclusive contract to sell photos. I doubt that vendors can just attend an event and sell something like hot dogs for instance without some kind of agreement.
That would mean the school would have to notify EVERY attendee with a camera that they are not allowed to sell photos due to an exclusivity contract. The only reason the student is in the wrong is if he were notified that such an arrangement exists and therefore he cannot sell them. Even then, I doubt such an arrangement is enforceable.
As usual you are only hearing PART of the story. The real story is that this guy was selling the photos. And he was using school provided equipment. And he wasn't paying taxes.
Now you know the REST of the story.
I'd like your source for this. Why does it matter that he wasn't paying taxes? Did he sign a contract saying that he could not use school equipment for private profit? None of the information you've provided* changes the fact that he holds the copyrights.
*"provided" in this case indicating that you have stated it as fact with no supporting evidence.
Being a civil suit, she doesn't even have to convince a majority - just 9 of the 12 jurors.
I do not think that word means what you think it means...
Oh it means what they said. Civil suits only require a simple majority of the jurors to agree with you. Criminal Juries must be 100%, civil juries only require more votes for one side than the other.
A majority would be any number greater than 6 (AKA anything more than 50%), not 9 of the 12 jurors (75%)...
I know plenty of people who refer to their phone provided by the company as "their phone", so I don't know. If they would clarify, I'd feel we'd have a better understanding, but, as it stands, I don't know.
I can't see where it says that in the article but I can see
FTA:
A Central California woman claims she was fired after uninstalling an app that her employer required her to run constantly on her company issued iPhone —an app that tracked her every move 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Where do you see that it was her phone? TFA reads:

Contrary to your argument, those who receive the chickenpox vaccine seem to have proven to have a lower risk of shingles (scroll to "Risk Factors"). Stop posting lies and deceit.
There is also something particular to Chicken Pox which makes the vaccine even less desirable: length of immunity. If you actually catch Chicken Pox you get immunity for life. However if you vaccinate against it you need to continuously remember to get boosters - I believe currently every 10 or 20 years - otherwise your immunity may lapse. What is bad about this is that Chicken Pox for adults is known as Shingles which is far nastier than Chicken Pox. So in this case taking the vaccine to protect against a very mild childhood disease may lead to an increased chance of a more serious disease later in life...unless you set a 20 year alarm so you never forget a booster shot!
You're full of shit too. You speak as though getting chickenpox will prevent shingles which it won't and there's other things that you have claimed that I find to be...less than accurate but don't have the time to find sources so I won't claim them.
Mind you, this doesn't speak for the third world (where firewood for heat and cooking is an actual thing, farming is a growth industry, not to mention the exotic hardwood cutting), and definitely doesn't speak for Europe and Asia (where the former has few forests left, and the latter is largely ignored and therefore unregulated for the most part).
Bob Taylor has done some wonderful work in making the "exotic hardwood cutting" sustainable. It's incredible what would happen before.
As I recall, the MPAA rates movies in America...why should the video game industry be considered at fault for having someone who is at the head of their industry be faulted when the movie industry isn't? Aren't people supposed to be encouraging the "self-regulation of the free market" or something like that?
The implication (at least that I get) is that people who are creative and inventive thinkers will immigrate to California because (at least in their eyes) if it doesn't work out, they can just quit and find another job because there's no non-compete clause. I know when I signed my contract for my current position, I was very wary of the fact that there was a non-compete clause, but then I realized what any first year law student would in looking at my job and the non-compete, it's completely unenforceable.

Considering TFA (all three of them) are dated May 26, 2015, I don't think so...
It should be about $3 or less.

who is the man anyhow?
it's time we start asking the questions that matter
Why does the ESRB matter so much to you? I haven't looked at ESRB ratings since, well, since my parents stopped caring in the 90s...
As I recall, the MPAA rates movies in America...why should the video game industry be considered at fault for having someone who is at the head of their industry be faulted when the movie industry isn't? Aren't people supposed to be encouraging the "self-regulation of the free market" or something like that?
