What would copyright law say about restoring and reselling boards with a copy of a copyright work that was not sold, and the author ordered destroyed?
Absolutely nothing. As copyright law has nothing to say about boards. About the software in the ROM? Again nothing, if you manage to salvage the ROMS, then you aren't making copies of the ROMS.
Why is it, whenever someone does something they enjoy doing. Someone else complains that person has too much time on their hands? Are you just jealous that he had the time?
Do you complain about fisherman, who sit for hours. People who lay at the beach to tan? Perhaps anyone that goes to a movie, sits in a hot tub. Plays a game. Sits around chatting with friends. What does one have to do, in your eyes, to not be wasting their time?
next thing you know an assload of fly by night companies are cranking out such "gems" as Chase The Chuckwagon and a ton of really lame one trick games.
It is common knowledge that the plethora of horrible games led to the crash, and ET is just used as a poster child.
Both TFS and TFA make it sound like the kid competed in LOTS of events, and kept entering until he won. He did no such thing. He competed in two events. One a regional, the other a state. Just like the rules said he could. He just entered the state one first. Because he qualified from the regional to the international, it doesn't even sound like it is a case of regional qualifies for state which qualifies for international. Especially since he went straight to the state, and then qualified from the regional. The rule allows for two fairs, he went to two fairs. It just happened that one of the regional fairs, was in a different state (yet closer than apparently regional in his home state)
If you can qualify for the international straight from a regional, then the rule is stupid.
You do know what a "technicality" is, don't you?
Yes it is a rule, but he didn't break the spirit of the rule. He attended two events. Just not in the order the rule says. The rule doesn't even say you have to qualify in both events. He competing in a qualifying regional fair, and he competed in a qualifying state fair... he just didn't do the "and then" part.
He entered different lower-level competitions with the same entry in order to maximize his odds of making it to the next level.
No, he did not enter "different lower level competitions" He went to a state fair, then went to a regional. This is allowed. But you are supposed to do them in the other order.
Well, that's what the rule's for; to prevent students from milling through county fairs in order to qualify for the state fair.
Except that he didn't "mill" through county fairs, and he qualified for the international from a regional. The problem is you are supposed to go to a regional first, then a state. We did it the other way around. Stupid rule. If you allow people two fairs, then allow them two fairs.
The school absolutely used multiple fairs to get extra chances to qualify - they outright say so. And that's exactly why the rule's in place.
That isn't why the school did it. But apparently they used the EXACT same number of chances to qualify as they are allowed to do. They are just supposed to go to a regional FIRST then to the state. But apparently the South Dakota regional was closer, so they went to the Wyoming State FIRST then went to the SD regional. Ohhh the horrors!
Of course I don't understand how he didn't qualify at the state one.
Is the government going into the software publishing business? No? Then why should the government be paying for other corporations mistakes. If anything they should be fining the corporations. Giving the corporations more incentive to find bugs.
We don't need to be finding a way for DHS to spend more money, we need to find a way to get rid of DHS.
Why spend $5,000 for a 32" when you can get a 50" 4k for under $1,500.
Because they aren't the same. Right now my 30 inch monitor sits an arms length from me. If I got a 32 inch, it could sit comfortably at the same spot. If I get a 50" what do I need to do, move my desk back 6 feet?
It isn't about getting a 4K monitor. As it is getting a high resolution monitor with a very small dot pitch.
Yep, I always opt out...
Last time through the airport, I opted out. As I stood their waiting, and still on the OTHER side of the machine (I hadn't been let into the secure area yet) their machine jammed or something. So they let the line of people through the metal detector... But because I opted out, I still had to be patted down. Never mind if I had NOT opted out, I would have been sent through the metal detector. So what was the point of these machines again?
I don't care that much about the "Virtual Nude" thing.
My objection to the thing is the X-ray radiation.
I don't care much about the radiation thing. I care about the affront to our liberty and the insult to our intelligence, not to mention the waste of time and money.
As a UKian, I would like to play devils advocate: if it stops one single delusional nutter from murdering upwards of 200 people
It appears to be the mainstream opinion in the UK, judging by the fact that the Prime Minister still has the office.
That isn't the mainstream opinion in just the UK either. It seems a lot of people feel if there is even the REMOTEST change that it may save one life... Never mind the fact that there is no evidence it has or can possibly save a life...
The biggest failing of the bank in question is that it has a 10 char maximum on passwords for some stupid reason.
I've always assumed that anyone that limits the password to an arbitrarily small number, or limits what characters you can use, does so because of incompetence. And so it makes me wonder what other security vulnerabilities there are.
This is an effort to further enhance the safety of our students
He also mentions it can track when and where the student gets on the bus and to school. So how does this further enhance the safety of the children? Has there been a rash of stoways on the busses? Are they loosing children? About the only thing this can really help with is students voluntarily getting off at the wrong stop.
Stop giving up your civil liberties so readily.... The only reason TFA has happened is because people let it happen.
Well if people are outraged, maybe they'll do something about it. You did read how the parents are outraged, after the children's rights were violated. Did you see how the parents didn't GIVE up their children's rights. Outrage is a start. I don't see what you are complaining that the parents were outraged.
I thought you were being sarcastic, but I think you are actually being sincere. If a parent wants their child fingerprinted, then the parents can fingerprint the child. The school can't. Why aren't the kids smart enough to ask why? Perhaps we can look at the recent incident where the teacher got in trouble for talking about the students rights. The kids don't know. And it isn't their job to know. They are children after all. The adults are supposed to protect them. So they have an iris scan, what good is it if you never do anything wrong? Well I guess that depends on what you define as "wrong" And that is the problem. "They can automatically exclude innocent parties" I'm not so sure they can, but that isn't a reason for you to give up your rights. "You only hold back from getting a genetic test if you are guilty or an idiot" Well no, you also hold back because you know your rights. I don't have to incriminate myself, even if I didn't do it, I'm not giving anything up. I'm not an idiot, it is just my right.
The school system (or well anyone for that matter) doesn't have a right to your identifying information. They don't have a right to your fingerprints, your retina scan, your dna. That is what is wrong with it.
If you are reporting on Singaporean news, you have a reporter locally. If you don't have a reporter locally, then you are regurgitating what someone else is reporting, they just need to go after whoever does.
In this case it is relatively easy. IF You want reporters in their country reporting on news, you pay them this bond. If later you don't do what they ask, you sacrifice your bond.
You do know that Atlanta is one of the busiest airports in the world? Looks like Mr Wiki even says it is the busiest. That southern terminus is actually Atlanta, not Orlando or Miami.

Guess what PEOPLE are greedy bitches that only care about saving money
So why should I go from paying nothing, to paying over $10 for an ebook? Seriously, explain that one to me.
Because it is wrong and illegal... Of course you know you can probably go to your local store and not pay for the loaf of bread, but you don't do you?
Why spend $5,000 for a 32" when you can get a 50" 4k for under $1,500.

Do think it is ok for the government to have your fingerprints on file? Even if you have never done anything "wrong?"
Outraged won't fix the problem

Did you see how the parents didn't GIVE up their children's rights. Outrage is a start. I don't see what you are complaining that the parents were outraged.
s the more guilty you always look.
So what? Then I look guilty. It is MY right to say No when I have nothing to hide. So I say no.
I thought you were being sarcastic, but I think you are actually being sincere. If a parent wants their child fingerprinted, then the parents can fingerprint the child. The school can't.

Where are these parents when it's time to protest actual privacy violations?
Are you suggesting this is NOT an actual privacy violation? If this isn't then what is?
