Not a lawyer but the de facto law has always appeared to only care about uploading. Torrenting gets you in trouble because uploading at least a little bit is inherent to how it (and some other P2P) is supposed to work, and that's enoug

Kind of a thing that isn't uniquely difficult if you've ever worked in a laptop before, hard if you've never done it. ----- The ZIF connectors for those fans aren't different or much more fragile than the ones in most ot

I'll suggest you are thinking of the teenage years where anything involving your parents is mortifying. That's not really the case with elementary school age kids.

The piece of the puzzle that you're missing is the dams at the far end of the road divert the Caniapiscau River into the La Grande River, which provides close to half the water that eventually feeds all of the generating stations downs

If you want to know what virtually any wildly remote road is like, one of the best places to check is usually where people doing motorcycle/off-road adventures post, like advrider.com Someone, somewhere, has almost certainly gone there

We created office jobs that required sustained individual focus. The traditional (high-walled) cube farm may be ugly, but it's also one where an employee could often work at their desk with relatively few distractions. If you're n

Now. I will point out that in 2016 when they started this project, the cost of new batteries would have been multiple times higher than it is today, so it would have been a moderately more "sensible" thing to do than it currently

A crashing plane has roughly two possibilities, screaming wildly seems like the least useful and least pleasant option for either: - You are going down in a way that might be survivable - If you want to live, you want to shut up and prepare

Curfews are commonly imposed during/immediately after major disasters in any significantly populated area, pretty much anywhere I have ever heard of in the world. It's certainly the case in both the US + Europe in my experience.

Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death and causes ~20% of all global deaths. Research into quite literally anything that might give additional help to treating it is so obviously one of the most beneficial things we could be doing in

I take it you did not click on the article at all before commenting. Racing games with real advertisements on the cars are explicitly given as an example as the type of thing that is fine in the article.

Most places don't have a mostly continuous street wall with little/no setback from the public street/sidewalk. Part of the problem in Manhattan has been that many buildings really do not have any place they could store those

Historically/as national origin story, no. But it has in recent decades accepted quite a large number of immigrants, and is at this point at a higher foreign-born % than the US, if still lower then Canada or Australia. That's not

Russia has basically burned up their entire ex-Soviet equipment + munitions stocks blundering around in Ukraine. They're not really in a position to open another front with any substantial state. I'd still be a bit worried if I wa

That's not how any of this works, though. Spotify has the same licensing agreement. The difference is that Spotify has a free tier (lower revenue from those users), their users listen more, and they may also have more customers in lowe

To be a blunt as possible here: Then you don't get to go. I recognize that the particular demographic that this board attracts probably doesn't like that answer. But among the general public, I'd say it's an extremely po

Yes and no. They do not pay out per stream. They pay out a set % of their total revenue to rights holders. Spotify has to pay the exact same amount of money before and after that change. The savings for Spotify is in not having the (not s

Just to note: Apple will refuse to cover any screen damage under warranty if one of these sorts of things was in use. I would not be surprised if the same is true for some other manufacturers, too, but I can only speak definitely to Mac. Th

> From end to end, Route 66 spans 2,448 miles. Great, but it's not contiguous. This stretch is about 70 miles long and merges back into I-40 at either end, and is the part of it we are talking about. What I said is accurate. > Th

Thacker Pass appears to be federally owned (Bureau of Land Managment) land. The public does own this land and does deserve some degree of a say in what's done with it. I have no issue with this project, and I certainly don't thi

I think you're assuming that all pagers of this model were being sent out like this. That's unlikely. Much more likely is they compromised someone in Hezbollah that was doing the ordering, or the distributor/vendor they order
