I stay in bed on weekends until my body feels sore, then I know it is time to wake up :D

Either that or my cat gets sick of us sleeping in.

Indeed.

And so this is definitely a *great* lead for the police to follow up on -- show up on the street and start looking around -- but it's nowhere near enough to pick a specific house and knock its door down, not by itself. And the police should absolutely already know this.

But here we are.

No one is forcing you to buy Apple. There are only essentially two phone systems because who the hell wants to deal with more? No consumer wants to struggle with it, they just want it to work. Done. Apple's closed garden appeals to these folks. We've struggled to get connector standards and these suits want chaos in the phone market? LG dropped out of the market even though they made nice, reasonably priced phones but people voted with their wallets.

This is just what Big Chicken Pox wants you to believe

This is the correct response.

Thank god they are cracking down on these evil sex sites! Meanwhile in Texas....

The rate of firearm-related deaths in Texas has reached a level not seen since the 1990s

They just want to ban pornography for adults, the kids are just an excuse.

They should start fining every resident of Texas who tries to access these sites instead and see how long they stay in office.

"WBZ News’ latest report comes after its investigations team sent in a sample from New Hampshire pet owner Michelle Leininger’s own cheek to DNA My Dog last year. In turn, the results declared Leininger 40% border collie, 32% cane corso and 28% bulldog."

How do we know for sure she isn't actually a dog?

Google "won" (or dominated might be better?) the browser wars because they had the best browser. (Well, at least at first, and for a long time. It's not clear if this is still the case, however.)

As far as attitudes go, Google controls Android like Microsoft controls Windows, so ... does Android complain when you install Firefox?

Yeah, it doesn't seem to add up.

If they just lost instrumentation for a few seconds, the plane should have just kept flying as it did before, where the passengers probably wouldn't even notice.

If the lost instrumentation caused the autopilot to move some control surface to the max improperly for a few seconds, I'd expect the resulting movement to not be *that* violent -- these planes are not really nimble, though if it lasted more than a few seconds the accumulated tilt could certainly cause people to fall.

And if the autopilot or something else failed and caused the control surfaces to move unexpectedly -- again, I'd not expect that to be that violent, but given enough time people are going to fall (like if the plane is now banking at a 30 degree angle.)

Whatever happened, it sounds like it's a damn good thing it happened at altitude rather than at takeoff or landing

When everything becomes about this quarter's profits and growth at any cost to appease wall st. Long term results? Who cares, I get my bonus for what I do now and the fallout will come when I'm long gone.

They need to stop using bonuses or delay them for years. They just encourage this short term thinking.

Guess you never spent time programming the //e or older ][ and ][+. Seriously, you think the gs was slow? Compared to what I started with in college (the //e), the gs was rocking.

Always amazing how people think they're the first generation to deal with or discover things or face issues and have no clue what things were like before them.

The space industry is filthy and needs to sort its act out.

There are only three other ways to get rid of something that is currently at the ISS: bring it back to Earth, send it into deep space or send it into the Sun.

All three of these would require considerable expenditures of fuel (with the corresponding pollution) and considerable cost -- and it already cost a *lot* to get that fuel up to the ISS (around $40,000 per pound) in the first place.

Bringing it back with a trip back down from the ISS would still require additional fuel, but a lot less additional fuel than the other two methods. But it comes with its own risks -- for example, the cargo could cause problems with the trip back, especially if it can't be properly secured, and once it's down it's just ... trash. Or something to be recycled, if you're luck.y

But just throwing it out the airlock? That's relatively cheap and easy.

People burn things like this on Earth all the time. It's not good, but it happens regularly. Letting it burn up in the atmosphere falling from orbit isn't going to be that different.

As long as we are at the mercy of the rocket equation -- and there is no end in sight -- it's going to make the most sense to keep doing this.

Apparently, a part of this case is that the two parties had regularly executed contracts between themselves that were signed in exactly the same way -- with an emoji.

So never mind what other people do -- *these two people* regularly did contracts like this.

Can you even copyright a concept?

I mean, this sounds more like they think they have a patent, but a patent needs to be filed and doesn't involve the DMCA at all.

And their lawyers must have told them this already, but they went ahead with it anyway?
