Competition, hmmm, you know, when I go into a bookstore, unless I am there for a specific book, I generally browse through an entire genre to find one that looks interesting. Do I check the prices? Not always, but I have been known to decide one or two just cost to damn much, so they were put back on the shelf in favor of other titles. So, there is no "mini-monopoly" on each title and there is direct competition for EVERY title.
Not to side with North Face, I think they're being amazingly stupid, but while the entire logo IS pretty much completely opposite of the North Face logo, I can see where they might be confused due to the general style. However, although I can see a possibility of confusion, I would tend to agree that a licensing agreement, while cheaper than a lawsuit, shouldn't be necessary.
I glad you are such a wonderful person. One of those who only comes along every so often. However, let me explain how things work, without us "worker bees" you have nothing with which, or on which, to do your research. So rather than come in here and rail about how special you are and why you need the access so badly. Why don't we simply discuss why the access should be readily available to anyone who needs it, and leave your "specialness" out of it.
Re: I emailed Muvico to tell them I was gonna boycott them. Got this bland statement back:
And on top of everything else, the response is from an administrative assistant. Since when did administrative assistants become spokespeople for a theater company?
And another bullshit moral outrage charge from the AC!!! No one made a moral outrage charge, Mike simply stated a few facts which included the discussion of how patents come into play. They're used to get the generic companies to the table. Simply put, no outrage added, except your own.
We get it, you don't like Mike accusing anyone of creating moral panics or moral outrage. Wasn't a week of such BS enough?
Actually some of do, despite the fact that anonymous cowards who feel we, the consumers, should adapt to the newspapers' paradigm tend to bore the hell out of us.
You would be correct, in CoD4:MW and CoD:WaW the perk is called Martyrdom, and while I hate it, its a perk that was designed into the game. If they left it out of MW2, well, its the first good thing I've heard about the game. If people have found a way to make it happen, seems like maybe IW forgot to remove the code for it. Either way, what does MS ToS have to say about using glitches? Does it say a temporary ban may result? If so, the discussion is pointless.
So what you're saying is it's all the school kids that are causing the problem. Ok, let's run with that for a moment. Exactly how many school kids are there? 200, 300, or more like 3000? What you're seeing isn't a few bandwidth hogs, but a large number of users suddenly joining the network. Guess what, that means it's either a hardware limitation or the isp oversold the bandwidth. Most likely it's a combination of the two. Either way, it isn't bandwidth hogs, it's simply an isp that isn't willing to reduce their short term profits by investing in their infrastructure which would, long term, increase their profits.
Secondly, I do indeed have the right to post the work on my site. In some cases, it's not online so I have posted a PDF - with the relevant publication's consent. Either I hold the copyright, or I have been granted a license by the copyrightholder. And I haven't just taken it and handed out loads of copies for free so it's a really daft, invalid comparison to make.
Since the way a browser works is that it downloads information to your computer, stores it in a temporary file, then displays it, you have, in fact, handed out "loads of copies for free".
No offense, but Feinstein isn't a him, she's a her. She is very much against allowing the common citizen to own guns or carry them, yet she herself has a concealed weapons permit. Go Figure.
The only problem is, unless I'm misunderstanding something, Dan Bull is Australian. Why would Mandy(as I shall call him from now on) care what an Aussie has to say?
