No, really. If Rachel Maddow is right this has happened before and continues to happen in the same way. All same players, all same tactics, all same outcomes.
Kinda WTF, but check this out:

It depends what "settling" means... paying damages doesn't grant you license to continue using the works, only complying with the license or obtaining a new license would do that. Once they comply with the license it doesn't matter (in that sense) who it was that brought it to trial. If a new license it obtained, that will only cover the works of the copyright holder who granted the new license, not work done by other people under the previous license.
but if autorun is disabled you're suppose to use the file manager to browse to the USB device and execute it.
That is why I said lock the computer, then they can't get to the file manager.
armed thugs stop the travellers on a regular basis, and demand all sorts of things from them, at gun point. like removing clothing, penetration of clothing (tap search inside pants), stealing items like water bottles and knifes, or destroying property as here. in worst cases they can even enslave you (called arrest and inprisonment now, or rendition)
this is not much different from the middle ages, where bandits would stop travellers, and demand all sorts of things from them at the threat of physical violence. at least, at that time one could prepare and fight back.
Have you correlated the responses of specific posters here who are in support of copyright enforcement for GPL with their responses to other topics where the copyrights were held by the MPAA/RIAA/whatever? And have you then determined how many of these posters have differing opinions on copyright infringement depending on who the copyright holder is?
If not, you're just lumping everyone together and making a generalization that fits your own personal gripe, with no basis whatsoever.
If you have, then you should be talking to those people specifically, rather than trying to criticize the "slashdot crowd", which is a pretty pathetic windmill to tilt at really
Obviously after a long day on the job I understand that this person would just want to go home, eat a pizza and do something completely different. But I'd be concerned about the coder that didn't have any pet projects, any interest in coding outside work like a ski instructor that never just goes skiing. No deadlines, no pressure, no dealing with poor specs, annoying customers or superiors.
You clearly don't have kids. This notion that you go home and laze around after work only applies while you're young and single. Households don't run themselves. Don't expect your wife to do it all either. She'll be exhausted from a day of looking after kids and will want you to help out.
You could try getting a job and a girlfriend (or boyfriend). Between the two, your free time will disappear in a heartbeat.
You say you have both? Ok, now get a fulltime job, and find a girlfriend who isn't cheating on you.
Something happens on the space station and for some reason the station cant communicate with earth...whos in charge?
The station commander.
In an emergency he would make certain decisions such abandon the station or stay put.
While ground controllers can give direction, you always want to have someone on site who can actually
act on those directions and tell people what to do. A station commander is not for things you expect, its for the things
you dont expect.
