In the US you are not required to register your trademark in order to enforce it. However, you do get some additional protections. The cost is $225 and it is good for 10 years

LOL. Was this satire?

The reason for "largely" is that in come sases, non-competes are enforceable. For example, if you buy a company, you can enforce a reasonable non-compete clause for the prior owners.

The ACLU was always a staunch defender of free-speech rights, but that is no longer the case. They now only defend the free speech rights of people on the left side of the political spectrum. For example, they will not defend religious spee

The ACLU has lost a great deal of moral clarity once they began taking on political positions. They no longer have the clout they once had, in the eyes of many.

Please correct me, but I don't think this applies if the suspect is un-involved in the decryption process. I think this was meant to prevent a suspect from being forced to give up their passwords.

Homelessness is a mental health problem and judges won't allow forced stays in mental institutions.

Oftentimes when this sort of stat is quoted, it is because of social security payments to retired people - for example, Florida

I assume the same way they enforce it now. Get a judgement against someone and seize their assets (bank account)

Glad to see, but worry that Cpanel on Ubuntu coming in late 2021, corresponding to the end of CentOS 8, is cutting it close.

If you're using Cpanel, you have no choice but to use Redhat, CentOS or Fedora.

I've never had to explain why we use GoDaddy as our domain registrar. I don't think Rocky Linux will be a problem.

Should be interesting, designing modems is much more of a black art than designing processors.

I can't see any downside to that :-) This "solution" kinda proves the core idea is unworkable

Actually, no, they don't. Insurers make no valuation on the land, only on the improvements. There is no appraisal done when buying a homeowners or business insurance policy
256.
by paul_f 6y ago
This is a land value tax, not a tax on the improvements. If you have a lot worth $50,000 and a house worth $250,000, and place a value of $50,000 on it for tax purposes, do you propose people can buy your house for $50,000?

To be accurate, we would also need to know the number of deaths attributed to the policies established to prevent COVID deaths and increase hospital capacity. What were the number of excess deaths from other causes - due to fewer doctor vis

Unless it was 100% invested in Enron or Lehman Brothers, nobody using a competent financial firm "lost their entire 401K". The markets only took 4 years to completely recover to the 2008 top levels.

If I remember correctly, Sigor Ros created a new language whereas this is intentional gibberish.

This headline is simply ridiculous. Why don't we try "OSX Big Sur leaked, it's game over for Microsoft." Intel is a massive company with a dominating position in the dat center space. Chip sales to Apple were probably a

If word of mouth is important, it is usually better to have a dot-com web address. IMO, the two additional rules are to make it memorable and make sure people can easily spell it. Other than that, don't obsess over a descriptive name.

This is a discussion about socializing. A hike and a hiking group are different things. BTW, need to find a hiking group post COVID, that sounds like fun.

Exactly, this is farcical. How did you handle the 6am meetings before COVID?

This is a bit unfair. Many people socialized with the bowling team, through their church, at school, as part of a volunteer organization, etc, that may have also all shut down because of COVID.

This may be true, however, the investors pick the lawyers and the lawyers work for the investors. The investors manage their work, controlling how much is spent. The investors have limited incentive to keep the costs down.

Won't burning Ammonia create NOx emissions? It is not CO2, but NOx is also quite undesirable?
