Given MLB's partnership with Autism $peaks, they have a new seventh innings song: Take me out to the ball game Take me out with the crowd We help 501s harm Autistics We don't care if that makes us seem dicks Let me root, root, root for eugenics If you don't abort, it's a shame For when Autism Speaks strikes, you're out At the old ball game
[...] Smart City was caught using common technology that sends de-authorization packets to user devices, kicking them off of their own personal hotspots or tethered smartphones while in Smart City business locations. The company fined Marriott $600,000 last year for the same thing, though Marriott was blocking local Wi-Fi to drive users to even more expensive, $1,000 per device Wi-Fi service. Methinks a name change is in order because in failing to learn from the mistakes of others, this company acted more like Dumb City than Smart City.
According to that ring chart, there's Al Qaeda in Iraq. Oh well, I'm pretty sure it's got absolutely nothing to do with the US being in Iraq and the billions of Iraq's money which disappeared during that period. *gets deafened and blinded by a flashbang just before rigid cuffs are slammed onto his wrists*
The latest is that Universal Pictures has broken a new record in bringing in $2 billion in box office revenue faster than any other studio in history [...] And if it wasn't for the IRS, it would be $20 billion.
Um, I said 'similar' not 'legally identical'. And please, next time just close your damn tags when quoting someone. A wall of italics is nearly impossible for me to read when it's at the size I'm seeing it.
Australian reporter makes a year's worth of his metadata available for public to rummage through. Is extradited to the US as a 'terrorist' for exposing the secrets of how private citizens' privacy is breached. ;(
That would be ruled unfeasible, unfortunately. However, you may get more mileage if you got an original design tattooed on your face, then sued the authorities to prevent them releasing any images they make of you. ;)
Yes, it's still censorship, but it's not government censorship. Can you point to where I said it was? In fact, I distinctly recall saying that such censorship wasn't a First Amendment violation. As large as Amazon, eBay, and Google are, they should still be allowed to choose whether or not to do business with homosexual people. I don't really see a problem with that. The problem is when they decided not to allow Loompanics' entire library to be sold on their platforms just because they had issues with the content in a few of their books. This is similar to denying an Internet connection to somebody just because they're in a romantic partnership with someone of the same gender, as pointed out by my paraphrasing of your statement above.
So I assume they do not have a "work for hire" declaration in their copyright laws? There's a 'work created during the course of employment' clause, which means that Max Spielmann is the copyright holder of passport photos taken of me there, rather than me or the person who actually took them. Basically, yes, the restaurant is actually the copyright owner rather than the chef, despite the fact that the decision misleadingly says otherwise. But then France wants to say pictures of the Eiffel Tower (over 100 years old now) are somehow "copyrighted" by (sic) and illegal. Actually, the claim is that the light display on the Eiffel Tower is copyrighted, so you can get slapped with a C&D for photographing or painting it at night, but daytime images are just fine.
