I can hear the board meeting now.
"Well sir, our numbers indicate fourty-six million people out there are using the "do not track" header...we think that's a great base to start our 'Tired of Being Targeted?' ad campaign..."
Confident, even!
...because the do not call list totally works.
All kidding aside, I'm sure something like this would work for a little while, but just like the do not call list, advertisers will find some way around it. By the way...advertisers? When you call me or spam me via email, I make sure to AVOID your products...and I'm confidant I'm not the only one.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but how could it possibly be illegal to "shift" a TV broadcast from one room to another? Are they pissed you aren't buying another TV Provider's box? Are they pissed about the possibility of the stream ending up online? What's going on here?
I see what they're saying, but it doesn't make any sense. Insert the sound of an adult talking in a Peanuts cartoon here.
Are you talking about The Saint? Such an awesome 90's movie.
To split them even finer, paper money is not worth zero. Paper money, like everything else in any economy, is worth what people agree that it's worth. Gold is entirely worthless unless people agree it's worth something; currencies have been based on gold for centuries yet only in the past 2 centuries has anyone found a practical use for it beyond ornamentation, so even gold was only worth what everyone agreed it was worth.
A common argument, but as I said on another post in this thread, gold has uses other than as currency...paper money is nothing more than representations of arbitrary values.
Correct. Gold has a HUGE number of practical, real-world uses. "Paper" money is useful as nothing but an agreed pre-set amount of abstract value.
True...in the case of DNF, they probably would have been better served just saying "buy nao!" Then again, since the public has knowledge that Gearbox is working on the game, NOT giving even a rough release estimate could cause the rumor mill to swirl more than it already is...
I haven't, and this is yet another example of why.
Thanks, Apple! I love being told I'm a fucking idiot and shouldn't be allowed to open my PURCHASED device, should I choose to do so.
Yes, that goes for all companies that use screwy screws like this.
Piss off*. Not everything needs to be like Apple.
*no offense
...and boom goes the dynamite.
True, but it DOES give them the authority to dictate what equipment you use and how you use it, in the form of vehicle requirements, safety requirements, and manufacturing requirements based on the previously mentioned vehicle/safety stuff.
That's our point, CPU...they HAVEN'T told the ISPs no, and, at least in the USA, ISPs have received billions in direct and indirect subsidies. Arguing that the FCC has no authority here became meaningless the instant ISPs benefited at the expense of taxpayers.
The FCC is outside of its charter, one that needs to be revoked anyway and recast into something very limited, if at all.
So...you want to retcon the FCC's authority?
Function reject.
