My LG 24LF452B from BF2016 has a joystick control which can manipulate everything the OSD does. Don't need the remote at all except for direct numerical input.

And add fine-grained cookie permissions like another browser has. Oh, that other browser is older versions of Firefox.

Letting sites track you until you close your browser is not the same as NOT being tracked. Even the hoard at slashdot doesn't get that.

That looked like a Right Stuff quality ride. I hope they had enough sensors in the capsule to simulate it. It might be a case of being able to successfully land a tub of goo.

Yet another secret out-of-court settlement. And somewhere (not the Times article) I read that both parties agreed to vacate the previous ruling. So NOTHING is official.

And a reminder, the court ruled that Warner Music did not have valid copyright. That's not the same as ruling that "Happy et al" is public domain. American courts never do something so useful. Instead they leave the situation open to future litigation.

I'll assume that "Right to Work" does not include the right to break noncompetes.

So the next product out of china will be a counterfeit counterfeit detection tool. Then FTDI will have to invent a counterfeit counterfeit detection tool tool. So the next product out of china will be a...

An opportunity for JMS to conceed that in a couple hundred years news will not be distributed by printing it out on paper. Hell, people barely get their news that way now.

My pet theory was...
Google would load the barges with every book, CD, DVD, film that would fit then tow them to Antigua and make legal copies of it all.

In fact, it may take something this drastic to make video streaming viable.

Aereo took great pains to follow the rules set forth by law and court rulings. And it did not matter.

The disinformation regarding Check21 has been a pet peeve of mine. Unfortunately, it's a futile fight and I don't have a list of myths at the ready.

Check21 drags paper checks into the digital era by declaring that a digital image of a check has the same legal standing as the original paper check. But this is NOT what happens to consumer's checks. Those are converted to ACH debits, sent through a completely different network goberned by different regulations. And these conversions predate Check21 by a couple years.

The only ways the two are similar are: 1) someone takes your money and 2) your check disappears

Get a robocall--press *13 (for example ) to automatically report the previous incoming call as a do-not-call violator. Reports will dwarf web-based reporting even though awareness will be minimal.

Then have the NSA use their AT&T "listening rooms" to track down Rachel.

There's already a * code for reporting harassment. It costs money and requires separately filing a police report.

Yeah, that would be the "One Drop Rule". Something no doubt familiar and comfortable to Republicans.

The Left has their own extreme PC stupidity. My favorite is the documented Undocumented Immigrant.

Your right to not choose their service means just as much as your right to not buy products entirely or partly Made in China.

I still own an MP2K.1. It lost the ability to set the date sometime in 2010. It reverts back to the 1970's. If Apple wants to patent something, they should patent that.

The tablet gadget I use now is a Nokia N810. Best tablet Apple ever made.

SF's composting law caused businesses to compost edible food that they used to send to charities for people to eat. Yay good intentions!
