OSS needs more reviewers than new contributors hacking on their pet feature. Heartbleed and Shellshock only ephasize the point. "Many eyes make all bugs shallow" rings false when there are no eyes.
You know, that brings up an interesting thought exercise.
If the valet can legally refuse to be recorded, then can they then legally say "sorry, you need to park somewhere else"? Because your ability to get service might be trumped by their privacy rights.
I'd side totally on the valet's right to privacy. You have, at MOST, a verbal agreement to have the valet park your car. And those ain't worth the paper they're printed on.

So you used CFLs in a manner that they specifically say not to, and you're surprised when they don't last. Genius.
LMAO "wasted energy", they use 10x less energy than incandescent for the same rated lumen output.
Quoth Steve, "You're playing with it wrong."
Strange. I've been able to keep my old YT account separate, though it used to keep asking to "switch" over to my G+ profile. Try logging out of every Google account you have, then log in to YT. May or may not work. it's hard to tell with Google's strange account settings.
Many of them are amazing at jargon and obfuscation, but suck at most everything else. Many of them are very narrow and deep, making their work as obscure as it is hard.
Sounds like most computer geeks.
But, in a world where everyone is selling 256K and 320K tracks, I'd rather get my music in a lossless format and convert down to VBR MP3.
LMAO. AAC is already VBR, at 256k from the iTunes store. So you want a lossless track so that you can convert it to lossy anyway, rather than getting a lossy track in the first place with no extra steps needed. Brilliant.
Pirate their first 3, at least they're worth a listen.
Markets, by definition, are artificial to begin with; very few are actually 'free'.
As always, the truth is in the middle.
This is what I always here, same with Anime. But I don't understand why this is hard.
Anime is a whole other matter. Japanese media companies are insanely risk-averse. If they know they can guarantee a sell-out run of 20,000 BD units at 6,000 Yen a piece for Anime X in Japan only, that's all they'll do. Won't run 25,000 units and hope for selling 23,000 at full retail.
Keeping with this, they also charge an arm and a leg to foreign companies to want to translate and distribute outside Japan. Since media costs are lower in, say, the USA, they worry that Japanese fans will wait until the cheaper foreign discs come out, since they'll all have the Japanese language tracks anyway.
Everything else you mention has to do with pre-existing agreements.
It's re-rendering the toilets to flush the other way that'll cost more!
