i suspect any chinese people who were interested enough in HBO to view it online are more than familiar with VPNs and how to use them, so i doubt this hurts HBO much

they do.... but legally they aren’t supposed to. it rarely becomes an issue because its usually some small component of a much larger piece of software that is very difficult to prove, or is close enough to generic as to make it pointless.

re-using an entire build of a game you created under contract with a new skin is…

i believe (and some lawtalker would have to confirm) that WB would still have to forfeit some portion of the profits since it was fruit from a poisoned tree, whether they knew it or not. however, i don’t believe any punitive damages could be put on them without proof that they knew about the code issue. the wrinkle…

Usually these are frivolous and their complaint about similarity probably would count as that

is this with bread, or just in the mayo jar?

i’ve never done corn, but i have done red onion, shallots, finely minced carrot, chopped pickles and and possibly other stuff i can’t remember. tuna fish sandwich’s tend to be a meal of ‘aw crap, grocery trip is tomorrow but lunch is now’ in my house, so its usually chopped odds and ends mixed in

i would only agree with you if it were an actual weird sandwich. eating a tuna fish sandwich where the ‘crazy’ thing is sweet corn instead of chopped celery is just a UK variation. its so unweird the first google recipe for making one goes directly to the NHS website. if stuffy british bureaucrats are touting it as a…

putting a crunchy vegetable in a tuna sandwhich is basically standard. only weird gross people eat that overly mashed tuna without celery or some other crunchy item.

now if ate it with gummy worms or something, that’d be weird. it sounds like the bigger issue is that he is apparently smoking pot, drinking to excess,…

were i a foreigner hosting a US based show that tackles a lot of politics, i would probably try not and display my ignorance of one of the very fundamental parts of the political system of the US so quickly and proudly.

yes- my larger point is we didn’t start as some sort of noble thing and we’ve been slowly degrading (like gibson’s roman empire) we’ve had high and low points (sometimes in the same period.) we started with a mix of good and bad and we’ve been up and down since then.

I don’t like these sorts of ‘america was once a great democratic ideal that is slowly dieing’ hagiographies. america was founded by a group of rich white people who saw no issue with owning chattel slaves, committing genocide against the native people and doing whatever they saw fit with the natural resources of the…

half of the jokes tina fey wrote in the season kimmy went to college already were “The Social Justice Warriors” so maybe just hire her directly.

that has always struck me the same- there is a reason in FO3 to just set a random waypoint somewhere out on the map and start wandering in that direction. you will stumble upon all sorts of interesting stuff, with little self contained stories pretty much anywhere you turn. in NV, the main story is far more…

Does anyone for one second believe that either Patterson or Clinton sat down and actually wrote a single word of this book?

yeah, that seems to imply this must be a real stinker

nice username reference btw

this is disappointing, but its not really surprising

i worked at a sort of independent park that got bought out by six flags (i was technically an independent contractor and the park was pretty corporate even before.) i had an issue with some goats and a gun one time. i don’t recommend it

also, how often does the human brain ever even see something going that fast IRL? I walk around a major city and i figure i can judge under 40 mph and such fairly well, but 100 mph is so far outside my experience i’m not even sure what i would do if i saw it from a pedestrian standpoint.

oof, i’m going to have to be the contrarian again this season it appears- i thought this was a continuation of the lazy, overly broad comedy that has become the hallmark of tina fey since the end of 30 rock. this is basically (to me) seinfeld levels of ‘so whats the deal with these computers?!?’ but even more dated.…

it honestly seems very strange that they had Lando (which everyone says is the real stand out of the movie) right there and they decided to go with a han solo movie instead. Lando is cool enough, is in the original movies enough, but isn’t fleshed out in a way that is as important- he’s the perfect character to do a…
