I believe the precedent is that in order for the cheat engine to work it must make a copy of elements of the game code in memory, and that's a violation of copyright.
Personally I disagree but I'm not a judge in a US court.
Not the ones in my house. I'm sure a skilled lock picker could eventually open them, but it'd take them a while.
Neither batters because you have glass windows.
Nope.
Maybe you have ugly steel bars on your windows
Nope.
You have none around your air conditioner. In fact, your air conditioner likely has shut-off switch right outside where anyone can simply turn it off with the flip of a switch.
I don't have an air conditioner.
So how about that conspicuously white vent sticking out of your house? You know, the one from your furnace? The one carrying toxic fumes? What stops any passer-by from shoving a sock in there
The extremely long ladder they'd need to reach it.
and just killing you in your sleep?
My boiler malfunctioned and started putting out lethal doses of carbon monoxide. The levels that put people unconscious in seconds, kill them a minute later.
I didn't notice. I installed it in a well ventilated space and the boiler engineer only noticed the emissions when he hooked up his test equipment.
How much do you trust your carbon monoxide detector?
I don't. I don't need to. I have it as an additional precaution.
Oh yeah. I bought this handful of dandelion seeds. What stops me from tossing them onto your nice green lawn?
My lack of a nice green lawn?
Imagine what a few ball bearings tossed onto a highway would do.
I imagine it would get you arrested for littering.
Compatibility mode means all those games written to use DirectX and the Windows subsystem will work on a non-Microsoft platform.
It has fuck all to do with which APIs a new game is developed to use.
If people don't like the features of OpenGL or Vulkan you can always hop on the advisory board and get things changed.
That's lovely but entirely fucking irrelevant. I can extend OpenGL and Vulkan to automagically understand what I want players of my game to see and render it using a single line of code and other game developers will still use DirectX.
Valve recognise that their customers want to play the games those other developers are creating, and want to provide them with options on underlying platform.
Exactly. Valve recognise the threat a locked down Windows with the Windows Store as a gatekeeper for users would present to their business model, and are investing in alternative options that meet their customers' needs.
The Express is right wing in the same way that half the country is right wing: in favour of good fiscal management and kind of likes British values.
In the last 100 years christians have faced persecution in Russia, Aermenia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Alabania, Algeria, Libya, Lebanon and all over Africa too. Maybe the issue is the political systems in those countries during that period?
Perhaps all religions are shitty and people should stop believing in invisible pink unicorns.
To be fair to the person to whom you replied, I strongly suspect they'd be happy to engage in a discussion around the points you raised.
What they're not happy about are the people that provide the answer they quoted, that tries to shut down the conversation and seeks to demonise the people asking the questions.
It's not unauthorised entry. You have authorised it, to the extent that's necessary. You can't actually legally prevent them from entering.
I am under no obligation to answer my door when someone knocks
They're under no obligation to believe that someone is in a hotel room if they've knocked on the door and had no answer. So they're perfectly welcome to enter - and authorised to do so - and yet you're going to make them unhappy that they did so.
Right. You've assumed I'm abusive
Lets see. Fail to provide an appropriate indication that the room is occupied and then make the hotel employee unhappy. Yep, that's psychopathic abuse.
You fucking admitted it, don't go bitching at me for helping you describe your own behaviour.
Ah, historically nobody had two televisions. Shit, colour television was "one per street". I'm talking about the current state of things, as that's how I interpreted the person to whom I replied.
I don't know anybody that doesn't have two televisions, unless you don't include the ones with projectors.
That includes the single mothers I dance with, the friend that went bankrupt, the friend with three failed businesses (but she's getting by, just about) and the friend that never actually watches TV (and doesn't have a TV licence).
The living room itself is fading out as real estate continues to outpace wages. Today the biggest screen in the house (for those fortunate enough to have one) is in the family room, not the living room
What the fuck? Growing up we had the living room and bedrooms, unless you wanted to gather around the kitchen table. Which wasn't big enough for four people.
Even now I have one room downstairs and bedrooms/bathroom upstairs.
Yeah, fucking terrible the living conditions today.
Hmm. My first computer cost £70, including the tape drive, a physical musical keyboard overlay for the computer keyboard, a stencil for creating flowcharts, a book teaching programming and various bits of software.
Sure, that was a lot of money back then, you could rent a caravan in Wales for the week for about that much, but if owning a computer made sense to my parents we'd have skipped a family holiday and they'd have bought themselves one.
As it was, I moved out long before my parents had a computer of their own.
You don't look like food if you merge with the natives. Smile at your TSA operative, demonstrate that you're entirely comfortable with the situation, show your confidence that this is nothing unusual or concerning to you and make them glad that it's you and not some obnoxious twat trying to make them feel miserable for having a shitty job that they can't get out of.

None of which is material to a US court of law.
There is no monthly fee for GTA Online.
Just a shitty game full of griefers that puts you off playing anyway.

Did you miss a digit off the 'tax paid'? Just that a developer in London will pay that much tax in a single year, let alone five.
Demanding security in bodycams is like demanding security in filing cabinets.
You mean the guarded locked filing cabinets used to hold evidence in criminal cases?
Good call, that's a sound precedent.
(Only sensible thing you've said all day but even idiots get lucky sometimes.)
Most locks are defeatable with a plastic card.
Not the ones in my house. I'm sure a skilled lock picker could eventually open them, but it'd take them a while.

Haven't studies shown that the people with whom the police are engaging also behave better when the cameras are on?
That surprises me. Takes forever to configure games to properly recognise mine in Windows.

But what is a xian? Is that pronounced zeeanne?
The correct response to people unhappy with your government is not to kill them all.
Condemning genocide is just fine by me.
To be fair to the person to whom you replied, I strongly suspect they'd be happy to engage in a discussion around the points you raised.
What they're not happy about are the people that provide the answer they quoted, that tries to shut down the conversation and seeks to demonise the people asking the questions.
You also always under-assess if you're going to take property via eminent domain.
That's actually the right response for the council to make.
"Your building is worth only $200? Ok, here's $300, keep the change."
It's not unauthorised entry. You have authorised it, to the extent that's necessary. You can't actually legally prevent them from entering.

Ah, historically nobody had two televisions. Shit, colour television was "one per street". I'm talking about the current state of things, as that's how I interpreted the person to whom I replied.
That's my point. My parents were baby boomers and didn't have the vast acreage in the house either.
Someone asking a stupid question isn't really a reference. The Gestapo had no uniform.
The thing about a secret police is that they're not very secret if they wear a uniform.
Which'll be why the Gestapo didn't have one.
You want the police to go around in civilian clothing?
I don't know anybody that doesn't have two televisions, unless you don't include the ones with projectors.
That includes the single mothers I dance with, the friend that went bankrupt, the friend with three failed businesses (but she's getting by, just about) and the friend that never actually watches TV (and doesn't have a TV licence).

We didn't even have a phone. Although I noticed that changed the day after my sister left home.
Coincidence, I'm sure.
