I just wish that the judge had come up with a reason to quote the offending recipe in the order. That way the paper (or anyone else) would have solid grounds to do a story about the case that includes it.
"Sorry dude, we were just quoting from the judgement."
If you look at the decision, you will see that it was argued on Oct 6. ACB wasn't confirmed until Oct 26. She just wasn't a part of the court at the time.
There is a big difference. Movie royalties are generally based on profits. Book royalties are generally based on revenue - if the publisher is somehow losing money, they still owe the royalties.
I suspect it is approximately as much a security concern as Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
Used on something that is supposed to have secure information would be a problem. Use by a normal person, well then it all depends on how foolish you are about putting personal information out there on it.
I am completely fine with the peaceful portion. I have a problem with the violent scum who stick around after and the morons who ignore them in claiming that the violence is the polices fault. Not that the police response has been anywhere close to perfect, but the ones who start it pretty much every night deserve most of the blame.
BTW, if you actually read my statement the way you are claiming I meant it, your reading comprehension needs some serious work.
I live in Portland. The Pearl district specifically. Grew up in the Mount Tabor and Laurelhurst neighborhoods. Any Portlander who says "What unrest?" is paying exactly zero attention to actual events (or they are a a liar or a moron).
The allegedly peaceful protests are only peaceful for the first hour or so. Then the peaceful types and most of the press head home and those who remain begin the violence. It doesn't really count as "police brutality in the face of peaceful protests" when the 'protesters' are throwing rocks and molotov cocktails.
Re: 'If you won't put in the effort why should we?'
Yup, they one of the most important lessons in life. If you want to make the people in charge happy give them what they want, which is not necessarily what they asked for.
Technically speaking, this is NOT arbitrarily changing any laws. It is actually a declaration that they intend to enforce the existing laws.
The existing laws say that a student visa is only valid for learning programs that require a physical presence. Online only programs are not eligible, and never were.
While I personally would have granted a temporary exception for this next year (though only for continuing students, not for new enrollment), they are on very solid legal ground.
I could swear that it was established 20 or so years ago that bare numbers aren't eligible for trademarks. That is why Intel dropped the numbering system and instead of calling its then upcoming processor the 586 it went with Pentium.
Re: The real surprise is that he found a lawyer for this claim
For years, our law schools have been graduating more lawyers than there is actual work for. If you are one of the excess, you take whatever garbage cases you can scrape up - they at least have the potential to pay the bills.
