But right now, it's a legal cat and mouse game for both sides. With DRM, it becomes illegal for the mouse to do anything but get eaten.

I'm not sure his evidence given supports his statement of "no correlation" between a state's Business Tax Climate index. He says the most business-unfriendly state is showing the smallest decline, while the business-frie

It's only right if you believe there's no cost to your spying being uncovered. If you don't think there's any cost to being caught spying, I welcome you to try spying on someone, anyone. Then you can answer the question

I don't understand the utility of this boot to desktop feature. The moment you want to do anything, you're back in the start menu launching programs. What problem does it solve, besides moving the first thing you use to the second

My first game was 1 point. I tried clicking on the falling bugs and saw some numbers lighting up, but I didn't quite realize I had to click on the numbers at the bottom to 'prep' rockets. My next game was a much more respecta

The problem is not the HFT firms buying stock cheaply and reselling it for a profit. As the article points out the problem is investors placing a buy order, and the HFT firms seeing this buy order and snapping up the remaining stocks before

If computerized grocery checkout machines would stop halfway through the 10 cases of discount soda you bought to raise the price on the remaining 5 cases, then this analogy would be what the article is talking about.

The article mentions that 'full control' becomes increasingly unlikely as you lose rotors, but partial control is still possible. You can influence how fast the quadrocoptor falls, reducing impact velocity or steering it to crash

That is essentially correct, though the math was completely hidden. The justification for higher contract rates was because they were using that difference to subsidize new phones whenever you signed a new contract. So, 80 bucks a month for

As was already pointed out, the AP Calculus test has been designed assuming that you have a calculator to handle the 'easy' number crunching portions for you. The test is designed so that you still need to have a fairly high-level

I've lived in three metro areas, and only one had significant choices in provider, and that was a decade ago, 2004. I had the choice of three cable providers, and I was just on the edge of a local ISP's service area so I was able

Somewhat. Most people in the US only have a choice between the specific type of line they use (Cable, DSL, Satellite). There are typically only one provider for either Cable or DSL in an area, and you're not even guaranteed to have an

You should be able to. See the regular launching of "Sherlock" shows, and the multiple on-air concurrently. Edit: Though Sherlock does have some limitations. Elements of the Sherlock stories introduced after 1922 are still copyrig

Anecdotally, I've found it's quite common with alot of European ESL speakers. I have worked with quite a few other people from varying countries, and it's somewhat common that they end many sentences sounding like a question.

Don't be alarmed citizen. They only 'know' about your movements if they actually look at them. Until then, they don't 'know' anything as long as it sits in their archives untouched.

No limitation on the clause is a big concern. If you write a public review 3 years later about how a product from that company sucks, that could be held as a breach of this contract you signed, and would at the very least be a non-free lega

The gp isn't using the same definition of 'rich enough'. You're inferring that rich enough comment to mean "rich enough to live comfortably on and afford the things I need/want". Instead the gp is talking
