How can they copyright the look when so many are so close?
Without the trademarks can you really tell the difference between a COLT AR15 and a Bushmaster or an Olympic Arms? The patents on those designs have surely run out.
As far as I can tell for all but the newest guns the only issue should be trademarks.
It's not that I don't agree, but how is that shady when the game developers are licensing the designs? If anything, that's a problem with the way copyright/trademark/patents work.
I don't really understand this article. Would it be less shady if the game developers just stuck brand names in their games without licenses? Would it be less shady if they were petitioning to the courts that rule the designs can't be copyrighted? Would it be less shady if the license agreements didn't come with a catch on usage? I'm pretty sure Disney wouldn't license Mickey to a game that intends to throw him into a wood chipper and would drop a bomb on Disneyland.
Maybe I'm looking for some deep meaning other than "oh, look, it's just like everything else branded but with guns"
So there's a copyrighted look, a trademarked name, and a patented design. Players demand real brand-name stuff in their games, so developers deliver by licensing real brand-name stuff in their games. To do this legally means getting a license.
How much time do you spend starting at your license plate? Versus being in your home surrounded by painted walls?
Vanity plates indicate a high ratio of an individual's personal opinion of his own importance versus his actual importance in society. But, they voluntarily pay more to the state for the ego trip, so, god bless them.
I'll fess up and admit I've never actually put too much thought into human names.
Unlike Joel Spolsky, though, Patrick McKenzie doesn't actually try to point folks in any direction to the truth. What is the robust way to handle names? that simultaneously not in violation of all those misconceptions?
To ms unfortunado luck, this comes on the heels of the iPad scoop just one day prior. 128gb, 125 of which is free space. Don't forget, iPad was originally designed for 16gb, and so has an extraordinarily small footprint. of course, this ignores a few things. Win 8 is largely built on win 7, which was designed with essentially no space constrints because it would be installed on 500gb hard drives. Second, surface comes with the office apps, which are big in and of themselves, but provide the user with most of the apps heshe needs. 23 gb free space, all for excel files nd word docs? That's huge.
Some of this stuff is so crazy that I've got to think Microsoft has been infiltrated and it's decision makers have been secretly replaced with shapeshifting Apple employees.
The American military is 1/2 of 1 per cent of the population, and the reserve is another 1/2 of 1 percent. If, as in the Revolutionary War, 1/3 of the people are willing to violently oppose the government, that's 1% of the population you're proposing would attack 33% of the population. It could not succeed.
That's if they're doing it all at once, which, as you've shown the numbers, anyone can see is suicide. It won't be all at once. Nobody hardly raises an eyebrow when some meth lab gets kicked in, and the only evidence we have that it's a meth lab is a police report.
The analogy still makes sense. The nuclear powers are absolutely a gang of bullies towards the other nations. It's no different than criminals preying on the weak, or a government withholding arms from newly freed men.
Breaking my rule responding but how many in the military do you think will carry out orders to attack and kill American citizens? I know the oath they and I took says to defend the constitution not trample all over it.
If it came down to that I think a lot would develop a backbone and "just say no" as it is their families and friends in the kill zones also.
100%.
All that has to be done is declare those American citizens terrorists. Or drug dealers. Or pedophiles. If all your squad mates go along with it, or at least you think they will, you will too or else YOU will be appropriately labelled. That's the power of mob mentality, and the secret motivation behind "we're just following orders." Because if you stand alone you get a bullet in your back. It's a brotherhood, right? You gotta trust your team?
We forgot people can take screenshots of things and spread them around the internet. This issue was caused by clueless middle managers telling us to quiet down the negative posts by our usual means of censoring: ban and purge. Now that we've been called out loudly and our shareholders will most certainly notice, our AHQ Staff members have begun to pretend to care and have restored lost access to affected users.
Have you actually done that, or has anyone else written something up? I'm quite intrigued and the above seems to go against everything I know (well, everything I think I know) about Windows 3.1. It's tentacles reach into MS-DOS undocumented internal data structures to do crazy things and I would think flat out replacing command.com would find the secret HCF (Halt and Catch Fire) opcode right quick.
Not trying to cast doubt, but I'd like to see a spectacular hack like that in action.
It's an interesting story, but while difficult to follow (but indeed followable), you have to admit it's not a particularly effective movie.
Not that it needs a bigger budget and a bunch of wiz-bang effects, it's just that the direction seemed very sterile and academic and there wasn't any real emotion put in. An effective movie is more than just a series of pictures set to a soundtrack.
This doesn't prevent you from carrying an unlocked phone; it's specifically the act of unlocking it that is prohibited in the U.S. It's perfectly legal to have your phone unlocked while you're in the U.K, and generally costs about £15 (in my experience) to have it done for you. You can then use a local (O2/Orange/Vodaphone/Virgin/etc.) SIM.
There are other federal laws that prohibit the travel to other countries to bypass US law.
Just another in a long list of charges they can use against enemies of the state, I'm sure.
the subsidized handset business models of the US carriers are viable, just not universally popular. There's a difference.
I disagree. They are very popular to the typical US consumer, who doesn't want to pay more than a couple bucks for a new shiny phone in their hands.
If it wasn't popular, then the business model wouldn't be viable, because no one in their right might would voluntarily chain themselves to a carrier for years knowing that plan pricing, internet caps, speed throttling, and terms of usage are continually shifting and subject to change without notice, approval, or even the threat of class action from the affected.
Offtopic, but I had always referred to the difference between nude and naked as context. One gets nude to pose for a camera or go to the beach. One gets naked to shower or show the doctor something. One is the point, and the other is a transition between two states of dress.
Surely if the headline was "Female Scientists More Prone to Misconduct" and someone comments that men can get away with it because they're part of the club, you would be lashing out against their lack of interest in investigating behavioral and sociological differences with just as much vigor?
So in how many societies on the planet are <long list of grievances but with gender roles reversed>. You know... you guys are a bunch of whining ass hats who haven't even gone to the slightest trouble to come up with a world view that reflect anything that has to do with this space time continuum, talk about narrow minded and delusional.
Just curious, how many/. readers do you think are directly involved in burning and raping women and female "circumcision" (not suggesting it's as innocuous, just brevity)?
Try this on, just as a possibility. For a woman to succeed in science she has to work 3 time harder than a man, undergo 3 times as much critical scrutiny by a male dominated peer review and sweat 3 times harder about getting it right in the first place.
Where does that number come from? What does it mean to work three times harder? Are you suggesting women are working 24 hour days in the science fields while men are working 8 hours? Three times as much critical scrutiny? I'd be happy if my papers were read by three times as many people. Sweat three times harder? Maybe you should be more honest and just admit you pulled a number out of your ass because it sounds good and fits with your fantastical preconceived notions.
Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of snooty little self serving bitches out there who use sex as a way to get ahead. You just want to notice "That Girl" inn't getting patted on the back or "high fived" by the other women in the office for her behavior, because most of us want to succeed on our merits, intelligence and personal dignity, and we see a little trollop screwing her way to the top as a cheater. Winning is less important to us, that contributing and leaving things better than we found them. Perhaps that is the important difference between women and men in general. Winning is great, winning at all costs, not so much.
So, you're all for women getting ahead (because it's unfair to work, what was your number? 3 times as hard?) except when they do it in a way you don't approve. It can't be because they play the game better than the dungeon masters. We're talking science here, getting to a position where you can lead the direction of research isn't a win for the self, it's a win for everyone. And if we are going to expand the scope to include what is outside of science, would you be such a defender of dignity towards someone who, say, tried to make ends meet standing on a street corner dancing with a sign? I personally think that's very demeaning, but I would never wish ill upon them for doing so.
Maybe by dignity you refer to sex. My theory on why slut shaming is so ingrained in many women is because they see their sex as an asset to hold power and can't stand to see other's spend their assets and exercise that power.
That sounded pretty misogynistic, didn't it? Well your comment is equally misandristic and I have to wonder if it's copypasta flamebait and if I just fell for it.
Pure attention seeking. It's really no different than claiming "fursecution". Hate on a gamer, it's business as usual. Hate on a gaymer, now you're a homophobe.
There are also qualifiers in similar attention seeking fashion. Grrl gamer refers to a person who does everything a normal gamer does but does them while possessing a vagina. There's no point to it except to add a ring around the target and call people sexist.
There's a slew of new terms being tossed out these days from the younger crowd. Pansexual, demisexual, semisexual, asexual... all part of an obsessive need to label oneself to identify with a group and be part of a community of the oppressed. And it's not even that original: I think Kinsey originated the scales of sexual identity and sexual preference, and took pains to not throw people into predefined buckets.
The sensible rest of society doesn't care who anyone wants to fuck*. And that's the truth.
* although I think we're all in agreement that pedophiles are awful, but at that point it's not preference but illness.
Sorry, just because you were also arrested doesn't evangelize your cause to the same level as civil rights
Or conversely, just because you were also arrested doesn't demonize your cause to the same level as beating your wife. In other words, legality is neither an argument for or against whether an act is just or wrong.
And me without mod points. You definitely need some +1 love as your comment is buried by most defaults as an AC.
If there is installed software with enough low-level permissions to read your keystrokes, they're going to have rights monitor which files are being read at the moment you're attempting to log in / mount the drive / operation X, and then steal that file.
Nexus One and Nexus S had removable back panels for the battery.
If you're going to be awfully generous to the definition of "consumer removable cover", Nexus 7 might qualify because it's possible with a spudger or being super careful with a knife, compared to some other device's insistence on using adhesive, which may or may not soften with applied heat.
