How is this better? They will use a lot of fossil fuel produce the batteries. It is a nightmare to dispose of the batteries when they go bad. .And they are recharged with power made with fossil fuel. Beyond Stupid.

The death of advertising is the point.

Or in other words, style yourself as a victim and as a result become one. And that works even if there are no "predators" around, as people must judge what is acceptable by the reaction of others. It does not work any other way. Incidentally, it works like that in all human interaction and apparently, women can do this to others just as well. The problem though, and that is unfortunate, is with the victim. It cannot be solved from any other position as that would mean abandoning human interaction or extremely formalizing it (which is not much better).

Now, I am not saying that is nice or good, I am saying that is how it is. Ignoring reality does not solve problems, it makes them worse for everybody. And that is the only thing the SJW faction of feminism has actually accomplished: Making the problem worse for everybody.

... this doesn't result in any confusion with my Socialist party convention: The San Diego Commie-con.

The word 'con' has been short for convention well, forever. This is why jury trials suck. There's no way this should have passed muster. I'm guessing the schmucks that run San Diego's Comic Convention just had better lawyers. I'm guessing the chewbacca defense was employed, because I can't think of a single damn good reason why else they'd win this.

lol no

You mean the whole government?
At least this one is supposed to listen to the population opinion before deciding.

Supposed to...

I'm afraid of the aristocracy. Those are different things. And while the aristocracy has better tools to keep the working class down so too has the working class gained it's own tools. Knowledge mostly. As people learn more and become more grounded in reason and a belief in science and cause/effect it becomes harder to manipulate them. China's experiencing this with a growing middle class. America is seeing it with a general mellowing out of our religious zealots. It'll continue to spread making it harder and harder for the aristocracy to use their old standbys for controlling the rabble (wedge issues and racism).

Rumours were heard that "Salt Lake Comic Con" would change its name to "Salt Lake Comic Sans".

Like 90% of comics are a formulaic copy.

That's taking things a bit too seriously. There are very few Alan Moores in this world and a whole bunch of Stan Lees. When comics are artistic and creative, it's an anomaly. People don't go to conventions to celebrate creativity and art. They go to conventions to goo over collectible comics and buy useless junk and see celebrities and feel like their lonely hobby isn't quite so lonely.

Thanks. You analysis is spot-on. Of course, since squiggleslash has no honor and is willing to blatantly lie to support his messed-up agenda, this will not do much for him. But your analysis does confirm that it is actually not hard to understand what I wrote.

Yeh, its not like water ever just falls from the sky, and cleans the panels.
3 years in im still getting full output from my panels, which have never been cleaned other than by nature.
They produce all my power needs, including Air cond.
Hoe are thing back in the 20th century?

Like I said I find it right on the edge so I wouldn't be unhappy to see the trademark validated, but I feel there's some justification there if it is upheld.

A nuanced response?? WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH SLASHDOT?!?!

It's just a philosophical difference. Other nations prefer catch-and-release; they say it's more sporting. Whereas in the US they like to keep what they catch.

You seem to be functionally illiterate. That is most decidedly not what I wrote. The problem is women crying "sexual harassment" when men look or try to talk to them.

Why are any of those who are 'in charge' in that position? I think it's been established that it's not 'because democracy.'

They could call them PAX.

Welcome to Mormon Con 2018!

When I did some searching earlier I found an article which said the Salt Lake City group claimed that the term comic con predated the San Diego one in the 1970s.

Not a lawyer but I do find it surprising a term which seems generic term could be trademarked.

Or the catchy:
  * We want to enter the market at the last minute and reap the rewards of twenty years of someone else's efforts

Copycats should be ashamed. There is an assertion, an assumption that these conventions are a celebration of art and creativity. They tend to attract some of the most creative people and publishers in certain genre - - - and they can't come up with an original name?

That's just so much rubbish. Companies are where groups of _people_ meet and do an activity. You don't leave your humanity at the door in the name of 'being professional'.
The sexual harrassment training is a tick box for companies so they don't get sued as an entity when someone complains. What the most successful companies have is enough flexibility that people can be people, while having recourse so that the real problematic people can be deal with appropriately.
The big problem with "grey area" is that it's now being used to have punishments given out, depending on someone's whim _after the fact_. So if a guy approaches the woman, and she decides she likes him and decides to be receptive, happy days. If she decides she really doesn't like him, she can get to call sexual harrassment by the regulations.. And it's always for the protection of women, not men..
I've asked female friends what they'd think of a hypothetical situation where a man was to get into the bed of a woman who wasn't interested in her and proceed to grope her.. Every single one said "He should go to court and be charged with sexual assault". Now I've had a couple of women do exactly that to me, and I've asked them what they thought of that, and every single one said "You must have thought it was a good night.". No, I didn't.. It was awkward, embarrassing, and really made living around them hell. When I explained that, they still said, "well, it's different for you, your're a guy.. It's not that bad"..
That's what really aggravates me.. Most of these vocal women want a world where they can do what they want without consequence, but they want to deny those freedoms to men, and by and large, the law supports that. Then they accuse men of entitlement syndromes?

Cyberbit said they were not responsible with what others do with their software, arguing that "governmental authorities and law enforcement agencies are responsible to ensure that they are legally authorized to use the products in their jurisdictions."

Said the crack dealer behind the middle school.

You mean, the electric shipping industry? I have no idea what you're talking about. Care to elaborate?

Thankfully, electric motors powered 100% by coal power plants still produce far less CO2 than diesel engines on board ship.

Be careful what you wish for my friend.

But yes the point of the interview should be a 2 way meeting, but when you have no job you have little options. What really gets me also is those stupid Taleo Applicant tracking systems that can take well over 1 hour to fill out only to never hear back. HR LOVES these as the program does the recuiting for them.

Many big companies have updated them not to be so soulless or use LinkedIn now to respect the applicants time more. I think after reading this and seeing the stuff that the best companies to work for are smaller businesses or startups. They are to the point and not tainted with old executives trying to find blame for mediocre hires by not waiting people and treating them like numbers who should be beg to work there.

Are you really pointing out the fact that solar panels are adversely affected by the very air borne particulate matter that they help to eliminate? Really?

Back then Bond was just following a model where it was assumed that if a woman resisted she actually wanted it and was just playing hard to get. If the guy worked for it, in Bond's case by pinning her to the ground with his body, he had proved himself and she would give in.

Thing is, even modern Bond does this. In the last film he forced himself on a widow whose husband's funeral she had just attended. It's like, he's Bond, every woman must want him.

So which comic con conned which comic con out of their comic con name?
