Hm. More accurately, Macs have a good deal of technical/sophisticated users, but only on certain interest groups. There are more technical/sophisticated users on other platforms (particularly Windows) simply because Apple only has ~7-8% of the market.
There's simply no comparison between "these works influenced this film maker" and "this work existed as a whole in another medium before being adapted for the screen". Stop being intellectually dishonest simply because you don't want to be wrong.
It is far from unprecedented. Visually, it follows in the footsteps of Cloverfield, with the way the cameras are used and are supposed to be "documentary-style" (although shaky as hell).
Hell, this camera style, minus the CGI, was old by the time NYPD Blue got half-way through the series run.
Those are "influences". It's wholly different than LotR ->MovieForm vs StarWars/TheMatrix->Movie Form. The former existed for decades in a completed, whole form (allowing for compromises made to make it into a movie format), whereas the latter films were created for the screen itself.
Sadly, your interpretation probably doesn't matter.
To hear some people talk about coercion related to sex, just about every flirtatious conversation in the history of sexual relations could fall under it.
It's just another one of those bizarre things where bleeding hearts have made it possible for people to screw other folks over, just so they can feel okay about themselves after making a questionably wise decision.
So, in essence, I'd advocate shorter copyright for two reasons: It's better at increasing creativity and it might help get people to respect copyright again.
Honestly, I doubt it. The vast majority of people who knowingly violate copyright simply want stuff for free.
You let them lose with restriction for limited time, it's called parole.
It's simply wrong to restrict the freedoms of someone who has served their sentence, simply because there's a possibility that someone else that also did the same crime might offend again.
The sex offender registries bother me because they negate the concept of paying your debt to society. If someone is so dangerous that I need to know when he moves into my neighborhood why the hell is he getting out of prison in the first place? If he doesn't that dangerous then why do you need to tell me about him?
They bother a lot of people, and confound even legal experts, but apparently the Supreme Court ruled that they don't count as "punishment". I suspect that, eventually, sex offender registries will be struck down. Maybe when Scalia keels over.
The absence of such evidence doesn't exactly prove the opposite either. Many rape victims get aroused and even have orgasms while being raped. That doesn't mean it wasn't rape.
Sort of messes with the conventional knowledge that a woman has to be in the mood to have an orgasm don't it:P
Most states have laws similar to that. It stems from the idea that if you're drinking you're not competent to make decisions, and therefore if you're not competent to make decisions, you can't consent, etc etc. It's similar to the reasoning used for DUI laws (except there's some paradoxes going on in that case).
The GPP is kind of odd, though. There aren't competency police wandering around cities, poking their nose into hotel rooms, checking for competency. There's more to that story that we don't know, I'd wager.
I always wanted them to find a way for you to report macro-miners. CCP could check it out, and if found to be macro-miners, have them permanently PvP flagged.
Problem would solve itself (usually the macro-miners are horrible combat pilots, even though they can afford very expensive ships).
When your ship is destroyed, the resources (minerals, basically) that were used to create it are forever gone from the game, but the currency you paid is not removed from the game, just transferred to someone else.
You're assuming that the price paid for the ship purchase (and the parts, etc) was to a player character.
On the other hand, you've got quite a few of us who believe our nation ran just fine the way it was originally designed by the "Founding Fathers", and got progressively worse as people tried to dilute it with elements of other types of government.
Yes, this is called "the good ol' days" myth. It's undermined by one very important detail: There never was any such time. The US government has always been inefficient and laced with populist ideas. No one "pulled themselves up by their bootstraps" when you look hard enough at their connections. Nothing has really changed other than now we have a different number of states.
It's prolly good to assume it was compromised, *but* it's worth noting that some common applications can look like they are from an owned box, given the right circumstances. i.e. Skype will sequentially scan for open ports if it can't a standard one right away that it wants to use.
Of course she'll be just as irrational next time. Doesn't mean you shouldn't make her do it.
I don't mind people having quirks. I do, however, mind them making more work for me on a regular basis, simply because they refuse to learn from their mistakes.

There's no need to install the old toolbar, just make the config change.
Anyway, in FF3.5.1 they gave it a UI option, so sadly your whargarbl was for nothing this time around. Hope the indignation was worth it.
Technically, it is configurable (about:config has a property that disables the bookmark searching), just not with a neat radio button.
Easy to find with a little googling, as well. I'd think that anyone trying to "hide" bookmarks in this way would have already figured it out.
If there's doubt, then you cannot.

Not sure what this has to do with health care. The issue is with the credit bureau systems being inept, not the SSA itself.

(it's now widely known that the first movie's plot was actually stolen from another author, Sophia Stewart)
Do some fact checking. It was very obvious about a month after she first sued them that she didn't have a leg to stand on in that regard.
It really kinda started with NYPD Blue's "ADD"/Not-So-Steady cam predecessor.
Ffft. Empire was, and still is, awesome.

The UK also has this little problem with letting you defend yourself, even without guns.
And forget your right to privacy.
It's like V for Vendetta over there.

Except that many accused "rapes" go like this:
Guy 1: Hey, Dude, can I have $5
Guy 2: (into his third or fourth beer) Sure dude, here's $10
Guy 1: Awesome!
[3 days later]
Guy 2: What the fuck, Guy 1 stole $10 from me! I need to go and file a police report!
