Yeah, some kind of EULA situation, like basically outlawing for-pay Minecraft services including hosting, selling packages of items, etc. In short, making most of the best MC servers illegal. The fact that he has nothing to do with it any more suggests that he should indeed uninvolve himself.

He's still a hypocrite given his explosion of hate over Oculus Rift, especially after this statement. He deserves our derision, and he's getting it.

Reverse osmosis, which uses water pressure both to push water through a plastic membrane (the osmosis part) but also to back-flush the filter. An "efficient" RO filter wastes about 10 parts of water for each 1 part filtered, but we have a well and a septic system so no harm done really.

You know how frustrating it is when your computer downloads updates while you're trying to watch a video? Now combine that with the potential to accidentally hear a U2 song while you're trying to listen to something that someone would program intentionally and you'll get the picture.

People aren't complaining about free music. They're complaining about automatic download of shitty music. If they wanted that, they could have signed up for it. There's whole websites based around the idea.

He found a "solution" which may lead to him becoming a shuffling zombie. It's in no one's best interest to defend that.

Your argument is identical to that about poor young crack dealers, or mafia soldiers, or . . .

I am a lawyer, but this is not legal advice. If you need legal advice, and try to get it on the internet, you need a shrink far more than a lawyer . . .

anyway, the clean hands doctrine is a rule from "equity," not "law". It only applies to equitable relief, such as injunctions, not to suits for money

hawk, esq.

The problem with a nuke war is the huge number of people who would suffer and die as a result of it, so I fail to see how the same number of people suffering or dying in a "natural die-off" would be any kind of improvement.

toggling the speaker by poking a memory address was good enough for the Apple ][, and it should be good enough for, uhh, . . . :)

does disbelief constitute a more logical position than non-knowing?

That won't work. Even if you create a will leaving everything to your clone-copy, anytime you travel your clone-heir would be stuck in probate for months afterward and the government would demand a huge cut of your net worth.

Which would be a medical cause of death....

Did it take a laser printer?

'cause that's all the Mythbusters guys needed for pretty much every fingerprint reader they tested (admittedly, before the iPhone 5s came out, so I suppose there could have been some advances since then)

Do race cars have power steering? I'd think it would add a decent bit of weight and sap a non negligible part of their engine power allotment.

Bad example. It's counter-intuitive, but apparently hands-free doesn't actually reduce the risk of a distracted driving accident.

You really shouldn't be in the middle lane if people are passing you on the right. Also, If the average speed is 20 over the posted limit, there are a number of states whose traffic laws I think could be interpreted to mean that you are the one who breaking the law and creating a hazard by not keeping up.

There is a technical solution to texting while driving (and also eating cheeseburgers while driving, which iirc is far more dangerous...). It is called autonomous cars. Then you can text and pig out all you want because the car is in control. Once we have one that is demonstrably safer than human drivers, we just need to find a way to deal with all the irrational ninnies who will want to keep the human in control of the vehicle.
