But this is nothing like advertising a sale and bait and switch.

To make your analogy correct would be this:
I Advertise a "sale" - free service!
People come and get free service.
I Advertise a price increase.
People either come and pay that price or they don't come.
Those that come still expecting the old price are just SOL.
Even normal retailers work that way - just try to use that 50% off thanksgiving coupon in August, dude.

Where is the bait and switch again? Every time you come to my site there is a new "sale" advertisement and you get that.

If I create a service even if it costs me absolutely zero to continue doing, am I obligated to continue to let you use it for free if I have done so before?

Nope.

I am STILL confused by your statements!

"They CAN, and it would remain legal in Germany, however, they were ordered not to."

Ordered not to...

Perhaps that means that they cannot? What does "ordered not to" mean to you other than the judge is saying they cannot enforce the ban in another country?

So, if you could point me to the contract you signed with Facebook promising you a free service I would appreciate it.

Otherwise, I fail to understand why you believe Facebook promised you anything.

They built something and let you use it. Is that what you refer to as a "promise"?

In good conscience, it was really the only choice for who has my best interests at heart.

Perhaps you should sit back down, or at least explain how "right of possession" makes his reasoning flawed.

As far as I can tell his logic is that renting computer "space" in the cloud is equal to tenancy of an apartment and you should obtain all the rights and privileges thereof for your "stuff".

As far as I can tell "right of possession" means it is legal for a person to occupy or use the "stuff" in question.

Looking a bit more closely, you are actually bolstering the parent's argument by claiming 'right of possession'. When a lease is contracted, the lessee gains right of possession to the property.

Given this, your attempt to dispute his points does not really appear to work. Cloud storage seems analogous to renting an apartment (which includes safeguards for those lessees living or storing their stuff there) than some other convoluted analogy with 'right of possession' (which you have not supplied).

Stating "Right of Possession" would mean something only if you can come up with that amazing analogy or show the logic about that "right" that illustrates your point.

Please do.

Regards.

>>The US military is famous for switching job descriptions once people have entered their ranks.

Yes and no.

A contract is a contract. If you sign a Contract for a specific MOS/AFSC (or whatever they call 'em these days) YOU WILL get that OR have the option of declining to remain in the service.

Yes, they might make that hard for you to understand and pressure you to go along with the flow anyways but KNOW YOUR RIGHTS (you still have some!).

In my case I contracted for a specialty position. Even after basic training, even after tech school, if they had decided to pull the rug on that I could have (and would have) walked.

Sure to the uniform dude in front of you this may be incomprehensible, morally suspect, and mean you hate America but to the (big G)Government it is just another set of forms to fill out.

On the other hand if you just sign up without specifics you may as well think of the recruiter as a Marketer. As long as it's not IN THE CONTRACT they are *provably* lying (as they cannot guarantee what is not in contract).

This is where the military gets their reputation having the ability to ignore recruitment promises - most people don't get them written in to the contract.

So my advice is is you WANT to join and have a SPECIFIC goal, get it in writing otherwise the military will put you where IT thinks it will need you.

When environments are artificially sustained, we no longer call them "wild".

Unless this is some twist on humans being considered as just part of nature.

But that kind of removes the utility of the word, no?

At best this is an unbounded zoo in that without maintenance by the zoo keepers the frogs would just die off. Now if they had recreated a sustainable environment and left the frogs there (as opposed to having to continue to induce an environment) then one might be able to say they had been reintroduced 'in the wild'.

So, who should the judge jail, Apple's CEO?

I, on the other hand, prefer to think the exact opposite.

I think most people are born intelligent. You are either enabled to form the correct neural connections or raised in a way that makes your intelligence degrade significantly.

Sure it does!
You also don't make any speling mistakes, are never WRONG about your FACTS, and you rule the physics with your intellect.

No, you see this is an individual.

Of course individuals have no right to "Trade" - that's for corporations.

"The fact that there are no disc-shaped aircraft in the skies today, though, suggests that the USAF's flying saucer efforts probably never got past the prototype stage."

Not so! It in fact suggests that the Greys filed a cease-and-desist suit with the Galactic Court to stop humans from producing a craft in that shape. They won, and *that* was when the Americans really sat up and started taking notice of Patents.

Other galactic species are talking behind their back, though, because the Greys sued with a design patent based on "rounded corners" for a flying saucer...

Fortunately, we do not let the people who feel themselves directly harmed decide upon criminal punishments.

The parent was saying that AS A SOCIETY we should ignore it, not that the people directly involved would be able to do so.

Unfortunately, you have misread the parent and I will be charitable and say that, rather than you simply disagree and are clutching at straws.

Uncharitably, I then read your next line and must conclude that you are willing to equate desecration of Jewish cemeteries (presumably to incite the Nazi knee-jerk response) with someone REPOSTING SOMETHING THEY FOUND to Facebook.

I do hope you are never in any decision making capability where you can affect people's lives.

Oh no, Matthew Woods is the big winner in this.

He has clear insight, in a way that most of use are only peripherally aware of, into where government is trying to take us.

No doubt that although he will keep his head a bit lower profile, there has been a sea change in his heart.

You can't get that sort of Win without having that sort of experience.

If you consider any water that has been in the interior or a cell of a human being as "human", then it is entirely correct to call most beer - diluted humans.

Cheers!
