This is the case. I've been lucky enough to have easy access to one of the original IMAX large-format theaters. When I saw a movie in one of the newer IMAX theaters, I found the experience very disappointing.
As a result, I no longer assume that IMAX really means IMAX.
Not just politicians. It's amazing how many times companies choose inappropriate music to use in their commercials. One example that I found extremely funny was when Devo's song "Here To Go" was used in a car commercial.
It's funny because the song is about how we're all going to die and ends with the sounds of a car accident.
People who find Sanders appealing are very likely to find the other Democratic candidates unappealing. So, you're recommending that those people should avoid voting for the candidate they feel represents them the best in order to vote for a candidate they dislike just because it might cause a different candidate they dislike to win?
This type of thinking is a large part of what's gone wrong with elections in the US.
EULAs are a bit different, in that you still have to take some sort of action (use the software or service) to make them apply. What Apple is doing here is trying to apply terms to people who have taken no action whatsoever.
Lots of phones don't let you remove the batteries, lots do. For me, a nonreplaceable battery automatically makes the phone unacceptable. When I recently upgraded, there were plenty of options with replaceable batteries, so that wasn't even a tiny problem.
It is easy to detect and block, because in order to do its thing it must force your phone to fall back to 2G. You can detect that, and you can make your phone refuse to fall back.
At least one of the "privacy phones" you can buy will do this out of the box, and I assume that apps have been created to let other phones do it. I've never sought them out because I cobbled together my own solution.
"but it's hard as hell to put condiments on a hotdog."
Discordians are encouraged to eat hot dogs (with buns) on Fridays as a remonstration, in part, against Discordianism. So you can safely contain your condiments then.
There's also the Big Loophole: Discordians are prohibited from believing what they read, and the Pentabarf (where eating hot dog buns is forbidden) was distributed as written words...
Hail Eris!
But on a semi-serious, practical note: nobody is more disparaging of Discordianism than Discordians. It's part of the disbelief system. So how would the Montana statute apply?
To say Discordians can't make fun of Discordians would be a clear violation of the freedom of Discordians to practice their religion, after all.
Re: HOLY CRAP! Another of Techdirt's startling REVERSES! "Other people's content." ... "those whose content it's using." !!!
Did you read the article? The point being made isn't that there's something wrong with Apple using the content. The point is that there's something wrong with Apple placing demands on people without their consent. Specifically:
You confirm that you have all necessary rights to publish your RSS content, and allow Apple to use it for News as we set forth here. You will be responsible for any payments that might be due to any contributors or other third parties for the creation and use of your RSS content.
That's a contractual obligation. Apple is wrong here because it's saying that it can hold you to a contractual term that you never agreed to.
Is the person's email actually being misdirected, or did that person make a mistake leave dots out of their email address?
This is not necessarily a gmail fault. For example, if the person is incorrectly spoofing the "from" header in the emails they send, it would lead to the effect you're describing, but gmail itself has nothing to do with it and is operating properly.
Yes, true. This also depends on the OS. If you're running Linux (for example -- I'm trying make a fanboy "Linux Rulez" comment), running modern software on ten year old systems is not generally a problem. There are a few exceptions (that can be worked around), but this is true as a general rule.
Re: Re: Apple ... drive ran 24/7 without any hardware problems for over a decade.
"Hard drives have a failure rate of maybe 3-6% per year."
Also, if your hard drive is going to fail, it's overwhelmingly likely that it will happen in the first 6 to 12 months of use. If your hard drive survives that initial period, the odds are very good that it will live for decades (with the usual caveats: I'm assuming that you don't abuse it, how heavily the drive is used affects lifespan, and I'm talking about hard drives that don't have design problems).
In my 30 years or so as a developer, I've only had a single hard drive failure. Every drive I've replaced, I've done so because I needed a bigger drive. I have two drives on a server right now that I bought 20 years ago, and they're still working flawlessly.
Use them as a dumb pipe to get an internet feed. Do not use their ancillary services. They are not reliable or trustworthy, and they offer nothing that you can't get (at little or no cost) elsewhere.

I couldn't disagree more. Journalists absolutely have a responsibility to seek and report truth. If they don't do so, then they aren't journalists.
I sense that you may be talking about legal obligations, though. I think that "responsibility" is a separate and distinct concept from "legality".
