"Contract Law 101" : The term 101 seems to indicate that you don't know anything outside the USA since this term is meaningless to anyone who did not go through the US School system
He is an inventor, not a businessman
He should not have to "pay attention to the business side" that is what Patents are supposed to protect inventors from
So Patents protect you from people stealing your idea, unless they make minor changes, or you cannot afford to defend it, or they can afford better lawyers than you....so no protection at all really
This is what I hate about Dragons Den/Shark Tank they get people with good ideas who have no business sense, and they get no help
It is not for people who decide not to max out the fuel before a long journey, take illogical routes that slow them down and waste fuel, break the law by speeding..
So the rest of the sensible, law abiding public should be buying these
Number of humans that have been to the moon : 12
Number of humans that have been as far as the moon 24 (Including the 12 above)
Number that have been out of near earth orbit in the last 40 years : 0
In 1970 we were landing on the moon, could travel as a regular commercial passenger at Mach 2, had a plane that cruised for long distances at Mach 3+ (Although we did not know it at the time), and now we don't
Forget Mars we can't even get to the moon anymore
True Giga is 1000 based, So is Mega, Kilo etc
km = 1000 Meters
kV = 1000 Volts
kB = 1000 bytes of hard disk space
kb/s = Transmission speed of 1000 bits per second
*Only* in Software is 1k = 1024
the Real GB = 1,000,000,000 Bytes the Marketing GB is a GiB and is 1,073,741,824 bytes
Marketeers are at fault on both sides
1GB = 1,000,000,000 Bytes of Hard Disk - but software normally uses GiB so displays as 0.931 (But shows in GB)
1GiB = 1,073,741,824 Bytes of Memory - Software displays as 1.0 (GB)
The classic case is the 1.44MB 3.5" HD floppy disk
They were Technically 2MB capacity, were 1440 KiB (1474560 Bytes) formatted which is 1.40625 MiB (which is 1.47456MB) but was marketed as 1.44MB (1000 * 1024)!
That will be something like the Radio service I get on my Android, or something similar to the live streaming of broadcast audio I can also get on the same device
Don't use ASL it is unlike English specific to USA/Canada and West Africa is not mutually intelligible with most other sign languages and is largely unknown outside the Deaf community
There is no deaf sign language that is reasonably universal like English is in spoken languages so using ASL as a base will alienate many of your potential users
The biggest issue is "Gorilla Arm" if you are making a lot of small precise gestures with arms out you get tied extremely quickly, which is why most sign languages avoid this, but most mockups of gesture systems show exactly this type of gesture
If you mean the finger then it is not as widely used or recognised outside the USA
Really, are you sure
What if they object and get to use their "real" name as printed on a visa
Commonly these can include people with only one name, people who always put their family name first
That is because this happens still but it is old news and so is not reported anymore....
People get into car accidents every day you do not see it on the news anymore because it happens all the time
No
Thanks to them closing the "LaMacchia Loophole" you can now be charged with theft and wire fraud for downloading copyright material even if you never had any intention or likelihood of making money from it
So now doing something that could *potentially* make you large amounts of money from (but in reality could not) is prosecuted as if you were a crime boss with vast assets from your criminal activity even though you are in reality a poor student
So you are for prosecuting the gun owner in this case for not stopping her son who was never diagnosed with any mental illness and had no criminal record
