"Why carry a bulky addon?"

Wax cylinders are a little to hi-fi for me, but I guess some people like that plastic, airbrushed sound. I prefer the gritty, primal sound of straw fortuitously brushing against a clay pot whilst it is still being formed so that the vibrations from a nearby speaker are inscribed into its surface.

Can't speculate what he was trying to do, but I can say it's a good thing he's a white guy. Can you imagine how fast he would have been snatched up by the CIA if he were brown?

I am having difficulty imagining anything more hipster than a used vinyl record sale at a public library.

Sadly I think the Tech Blog skew against tablet photography is robbing us of a valuable facet of gadget review: it's impossible to know how good a tablet's camera is if every review says "you shouldn't be taking pictures with your tablet."

How big of nerds are we that the Corning Museum of Glass sounds like a fuckin' rad time?

I got the same thing. Further, the dots on the right are evenly spaced on the y-axis (I know it's not required to find what trait they share, only the trait they dont).

Look into Betterment. I've had an account with them for a little over a year now as a college fund for my god daughter. I decided to keep it separate from my Vanguard-based general investment stuff because I'll eventually be passing ownership over to her.

I assume you just leave it and buy a new house.

Intuitive reference scales are not useless. They provide observes with an immediate understanding of the size of what they're seeing, without having to reference a chart telling them how big the "actual scale" is.

On the plus side: By the time your victim has erected a complex series of mirrors to take a picture of his own phone screen, you can bet he's wide awake.

I would say a lack of editorial oversight which allows huge assholes to alienate readers is, in fact, an institutional issue.

The "Tax dollars!" thing is a non-issue. I am pretty sure they get paid whether they work on this case or another one.

You're absolutely right. He knowingly broke the law and should have gotten dinged by a penalty (the magnitude of the penalty being another discussion entirely).

Yeah, I suspect that the only credible "warning" was the 2005 one, in the form of the generic DMCA Notice half of us probably got that year.

The "warnings" part is a little too vague for my tastes. I'd be very interested to see what they consider a "warning".

The decision states that he downloaded and distributed "thousands of copyrighted works to users of peer-to-peer file-sharing networks" over eight years.

It's important to understand that they prosecuted him for infringing thirty one times. This should in no way be taken to imply he only downloaded thirty one songs.

But, like... God, or magic or something, and stuff.

I like it better. Having to click every time I wanted to see a new top level comment was ridiculous.
