The restrictions in the permit were blatantly unconstitutional, therefore impermissable and unenforceable under US law. The city just set themselves up to be on the losing end of a lawsuit, if the promoter so chooses. If you don't believe, try washingtonpost.com and read the article and analysis. This is not a theoretical violation; the case law is well-settled, with the courts consistently banning these kinds of content-based restrictions on use of public space.

Depends. They're describing how a lot of people react to missed calls and texts. Not me. I don't care enough. Seriously, I missed a text?BFD. I'll check it when I have a reasonable chance, and until then, I will not think about it at all.

(Under normal circumstances, obviously. Relative in hospital, then I would be distracted.)

Ah yes, Nevada. Where the law states that a call can be recorded with consent of any party, and the state Supreme Court ruled that "any" means "all" ;-)

That's a flat-out idiotic comment.

The company was highly successful at the time, went public, and years later failed after the IBM/DOS combination came to dominate. Yet because the company was founded by two "housewives", you deny its success and importance.

Bird shot doesn't come down with enough velocity to be a hazard. But of course, it has extremely limited range for the same reason.

Speaking of making people snort something out through their noses...

So, why exactly is it that you're cursed with having to struggle with software written by WASPs? Or, since you seem to have some difficulty with reading, let me be more explicit: why is there not a successful Indian software industry producing software to perfectly fit your needs???

After all, it's not like Indian companies are outsourcing to American developers in order to save money...

Not true at all. OS X 10.10.3, Safari 8.0.6, Flash plugin removed about a year ago. ESPN, Bleacher Report, CNN, MSNBC, all work fine. Facebook, no videos in my timeline--don't know if that's because it's not showing them to me because of lack of Flash, or just a matter of the people I follow. Hulu, alone among all the sites, informs me that I need the Flash plugin.

So maybe the problem is you were using a web browser that did not have adequate support for HTML5 video.

There is a difference between "Anti-GMO labeling law" and "Anti-GMO-labeling law"!!! Guess which one you meant? Stop making your readers guess what you're trying to say!

Yes. But stay away from the Cisco/Linksys small business routers.

Yes, it was there. But it was a complete disaster, and did not work "fine" for any reasonable understanding of that word.

Bullshit. More like: Adobe up to that point had been unable to deliver a usable mobile Flash, and in fact, years later, still had not, and in fact, years later completely abandoned the development effort.

Care to guess what most of them do when your user agent does not report Flash as a supported format? (As does every single iPhone and iPad in existence...)

It works this way only if when you set up the encryption, you explicitly accept the option to generate a recovery key, and the option to store it with Apple.

That argument does not hold, because Flash has been proven over time to be uniquely bad, and Adobe uniquely unable to fix it.
