Honestly HD should just think of some other name for their over-brand yourself even more boots. And if my last name was Brando I wouldn't want my name associated with HD in any way shape or form. Just that they have even bothered to name them "Brando Boots" tells you something about their over saturated branding of their riders. Let me guess this is part of their new "Black" label? Black designs on black.
They have reached the level of Spinal Tap.
How about just calling them, "Frustrated Won't Run Kickers"

And it should tell you something, as lame as it still is, "Brando" was allowed on a Triumph jacket.
Hmmm...
As Gizzi pointed out above many of these recording companies are just one of many under an umbrella.
But their thinking and plan is still the same for all of them. So maybe it is more like a farmer with several different types of crops but only one run down beat up truck and road which is the only way he knows how to get it to the market.
"rather than actually recreating his own test, and noting that this seems like a massive double standard. The professor is allowed to just copy questions from others for his tests?"
I'm pretty much with the students on this one but I don't see the double standard here.
The professor isn't being tested on his ability to think up a test, he just has to administer it. And the questions he used he is apparently allowed to use, they are supplied for him to use. Sure he lied in saying he makes his own, at least in this case, but it isn't a double standard.
Wait what about the copyright on all those images on the screeens? The producers of those shows should sue the company that made the software that Louie Psihoyos used to make the photo.
They probably "hired" some web designer for cheap after they saw the other site. The designer came up with an idea and they kept saying, "can you make it more like that one we showed you, we really liked it." After dozens of emails like this the designer got fed up and wasn't being paid much and said, "Fine you want it just like their site?" They said, "basically yes" and he said, "Here you go, their site."
keep your child porn, top secret documents, stolen credit card numbers, buried prostitutes location map, home burglary movies, meth recipes, bomb blueprints, and those personal pictures of you in a speedo after a night of drinking on an external drive.
seriously though, if you don't want someone to see it, don't take it to them. and anyone dumb enough to their child porn (or any other illegal activity) machine in for servicing deserves anything that follows.
true that "generally" breaking a TOS isn't a crime, but in some cases it is, but if i can just not review the tos as my defense then does that give me a pass if microsoft comes in and asks why i have only purchased one copy of their software and installed it on 250 machines at my company? i don't agree 100% with this case but this "no chance to review" thing is shaky at best.
there is some loose evidence that there was an online relationship of a sexual nature. maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. regardless of that, yes adults can interact with children...there is something wrong with doing so via an underage persona.
it would seem that an adult woman pretending to be an underage boy to win the affection of an underage girl, and encourages other underage girls to do so as well has some chargeable offense to it. hey, where is dateline lol.
"Based on that, it's even more ridiculous (and it already was ridiculous) to charge Drew with computer fraud for violating the terms of service -- considering she wasn't even there to review the terms of service, nor did she actually set up (or use, apparently) the account."
and what kind of free pass is that you think should be handed out? feigned or not, ignorance is not a defense or and excuse. if it is though, there are going to be a lot of things i will just "not be available" to review.
doesn't matter if it is the price of a single text, or some "cost savings" bundle package. either way you are overcharged for what it costs them. if anything your bill should be reduced for sending a text since its an easier load for their network to carry.
ack, that was pretty bad...but i've worked the other (though not with at&t) end and it is terrible. everyone hates you doesn't matter if they are customers or company higher ups, the companies underpay you, they cut breaks, they monitor everything, they don't give you the tools you need to actually do anything. (at one company we were even forbidden to share information with each other, everything had to go through a lead tech...nevermind the fact that the lead didn't have or had ever seen half the stuff we were "supporting") and the phone never stops ringing, never stops...its been years since i've done support and i still cringe when the phone rings and feel pressure to end the call in seven to nine minutes.
so the few times i do have to call a support line i get really torn but i really try not to take it out on the techs there. and really the only "power" you do have is to run angry customers yelling at you around in circles, so on top of an already convoluted system its no wonder people get transferred around so much. seriously, imagine answering the phone 97 times a day and each call being someone mad at you while your boss breaths down your neck to get off the phone.
somebody at the cd pressing place acts illegally by sending out a copy of something they shouldn't. i'm no fan of DRM but really it seems Ubi could send them whatever they want to and if they are told to not release it, they shouldn't.
i mean lets say its a virus and you are a storage company. if i send it to you and say, don't let anyone take this but us and you relaase it into the population, its your fault...unless maybe i cheaped out and used bob's second hand storage place, then i hold some blame for picking such a crappy place.
With television screen size increasing and game systems advertising items called "Force Feedback Controllers" I am in support of this. It is only a matter of time before the giant Wesley Snipes shoots me. Sure he has missed the last couple of times...but what about the next time I pop in an action movie? What if it is one of my kids! Televisions are more complicated now in ways we can not hope to understand. Currently I am protecting myself by placing several televisions surrounding the one I am watching in the hopes that the move will see the action movie playing on them as a larger threat.
really how can it be so difficult to design a machine that adds one vote...a robotic car can drive itself along a paved and dirt obstacle course, but we can't build a glorified calculator...wtf?
There is nothing innovative
There is nothing innovative in this reply, I have simply copied the letters used by everyone else.
Who cares if your voice is shot, it is more annoying to keep making excuses over and over about it. Just get on with it.
How do you put a dollar number onto something you will never have known you missed out on. It is like pricing the Mono Lisa before it is painted.
(my roommate just added: Or buying insurance on a wife you haven't met yet)
Well...can you blame them?

i'm still sticking with what my friend said about web 2.0.
hate speech, peace speech, its mostly over run with just plain crap.
"Web 2.0 - We have allowed you to generate the content and this is what you have produced. We are going back to Web 1.0."
they just wanted the url
obviously the company just wanted the url for their own. the fact that these people cave and give it up is outrageous though.
it is way overpriced

that is the best quote of this whole thread. there should be street signs on every corner with that on it.
