We recently had a horsemeat "scandal", where horsemeat was found in products purporting to be beef, etc. >Update: With all of the DNA testing of the cross contaminated beef products, the whereabouts of Shergar, a champion racehorse, was finally established in December 2013, subsequent to the final seizures of suspect beef.
LG claims that if the door was indeed broken by its employees' downward shoves, it's only because Samsung's washer doors are crap. o.O What kind of domestic situations do LG employees live in if they expect fully mature adults to be swinging on washing machine doors?
I was thinking of my own childhood experiences back in the mid 00s in which I made many stupid decisions including getting behind the wheel of my parents' car and driving it as fast as it would go down the M60 near Salford. I was chased by the police and wound up flipping the vehicle too many times to count, sustaining multiple simple and compound fractures during the crash. I was still recovering when I was in court, being convicted of taking a vehicle without consent, speeding, driving without a licence, driving without insurance, and underage driving. Of course, just like a car, gaming laptops aren't marketed to children... Disclaimer: the above is something that could have happened if I was that stupid, and I wrote it only to make a point.
Setting fire to someone's laptop is not a "feature". But nobody's accused NVIDIA of setting fire to people's laptops, and they have no right to prevent the slim-to-zero chance of someone setting fire to their own laptop (it would burn out first).
How is using Facebook to communicate any different than using a cell phone (also forbidden)? Prisons don't supply cell phones, that's how it's different. Simples!
I would suggest that Ajit Pai et al. go fuck themselves, but if their ability to masturbate is of the same level as their ability to make well reasoned, fully thought out arguments...
Actually, Mike's right. While the design of might be copyrightable depending on its originality, the costume itself is not. Furthermore, I'd argue that this particular shark costume can't be copyrighted because it's not the first that ever existed.
I spoke to the German government (the Bundestag and the Bundesrat) to find out their response to Obama, which was, "The last time we trusted those American pig-dogs (schweinhunds), they abducted our scientists and forced them to create bombs that they then threatened to use against us. Never again!"
Listening to music before you have paid for it is PIRACY. Hearing a track in a record store and purchasing a DVD or Blu-Ray is PIRACY. Hearing a track in a mall without buying something from any of its stores is PIRACY. If you do not stop these illegal actions, we will deport you back to Somalia. You have been warned.
Music pirate: "If I pirate the music, the artist doesn't get paid, but if I buy it, the money is stolen by the record company and they still don't get paid. I'd rather pirate and save money since it works out the same for the artist either way." Disclaimer: record companies lose money to me not consuming their products full stop. I still get called a pirate by them, but whatever. *shrugs*
US representatives want copyrights to last 70 years from the release date of films and music. That's better than the 95 years after publication that currently exists. Basically, under the above terms, author copyrights remain the same, but copyrights of films and music get reduced by twenty-five years.
Don't you mean very few government employees (if any)? I remember attending that school myself for very many intellectually fulfilling years, and laughing when I saw that Konami had given it the wrong name.
Did a certain Japanese company hack itself so it can get stronger cyber'security' laws that will prevent people jailbreaking the consoles and cellphones they thought they owned?
