They don't get to charge exorbitant license fees on unlicensed products, of course. Such a tragedy!

You can sue for anything you like, literally any reason at all. It's up to a judge to hear it and decide whether the case is valid or not. It's not the system's fault, it's the people behind all the frivolous lawsuits.

This post is interesting in another way: your dad was sent to a horrible prison simply for owning a typewriter, and experienced a true loss of freedom for such a minor offense. RMS is wailing about not being able to copy a book to a different device and talking about it as though his "freedom" was truly being violated in the same way. Talk about first world problems.

Most of that info is out of date as of last June, just FYI.

For instance, bars are no longer required to be private clubs; and I can think of 6 liquor stores within 2 miles of me, none of which are the least bit "tucked away".

Wow, as a pirate I'm insulted he would insinuate that we would have downloaded any of his movies willingly.

A) I don't know where you're getting that "bin" means from, and B) I think Leonardo da Vinci would like a word with you.

Another Apple product I can add to my list of stuff I'm not buying.

I live in Utah, and every purchase I've made online for some time has had sales tax included.

That said, I'm against sales tax in general because it places an undue burden on lower-income people compared to the wealthy.

Or they could have thought of that and figured out a way to solve the problem.

What happened to all the buttons in those shots?

You know: back, forward, stop, refresh, etc. If I have to click twice to use those you're only making it harder for me, and for what? To save 10 or so vertical pixels? I'm already pissed that you idiots removed functionality from the status bar without any good reason. Quit making your browser useless in an effort to save screen space, when resolution sizes are only going up.

That's kind of strange, the Smith's (local Kroger chain) in my area is always a lot cheaper than everything else. I wonder if they leave the prices up to the individual chains?

Of course, I've always wondered if the non-card prices are inflated and the card prices are what you'd normally pay. Seems like something a large company like that would do, at least.

A) You're a joykill.
B) It's not a joke.

...When you vote one of those spoiled MTV personalities into public office. Why would you ever put anybody who's ever been on any of their shows in charge? MTV has all but become the "glorify horrible people" channel.

The guy stated what he believes to be the truth too. And the evidence is piling up that you're a stupid piece of shit, so I'll go ahead and claim that as truth until you prove otherwise.

If so (of course they are), enjoy having them break and/or warp due to repeated fatigue on the materials.
