Padmapper is probably getting enough publicity out of this to get over the critical mass problem and will be able to rely on their own listings.
Craigslist content is user generated, and the copyrights remain property of the users. While facts aren't copyrightable anything that padmapper displays that isn't just a fact, photos or a realtor's description for example, is a copyright violation.
This is why sites like stack overflow are awesome, because they licence "their" content, aka your work cc-wiki and claim no ownership.
The bummer here is not that craigslist is suing over unauthorized data access, it's that your work is too restrictively licenced on their site to be of maximum benefit to you.
from me: "Evolution(clearly biological) cares (a cute way of saying is effected by) about nothing but survival." The personification of evolution was perhaps a bit too cute, but I feel it's also a bit more inspiring than getting specific. Also, I can't see much of a difference between surviving and being naturally selected.
Please let me know what I'm missing.
Which apparently amazon has a trademark on anyway: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8...
They're nuts, and are a great example of how evolution cares about nothing but survival.
A lot of the things you could do to yourself to help you run faster next year are not exactly going to improve your health. And children need role models.
Cholesterol isn't bad, saturated fat isn't bad, but if you're sitting around all day festering so are they.
Nutrition is far from an exact science and humans from around the world react to foods differently in subtle ways giving any Nutritional conclusions limited relevance.
IMHO, The 2 most important things you can do are exercise and pay attention to your body. Also, a lot of these "mis-conceptions" come from media and laymen thinking that phrases like "a link between saturated fat and heart disease" imply causation.
Remembered one more thing: A lot of shit food is loaded with saturated fat and cholesterol (and salt and sugar). Frozen dinners, snack cakes and fast food are some great examples. These products, which significantly contribute to the fattening of the world, help give their main flavor sources a bad name.
Dell also needs to be able to promote their laptops using features of the OS, or software that comes with it. They also need to mark down the OS versions to coincide with promotions or market activity.
Plus, if you're a linux guy, and the windows version is cheaper, just buy that and get the ubuntu image or drivers from dell support. It's not like canonical is missing out on a sale.
If the os comes pre-installed, they only have to support drivers, and hackers like you or i can strip it if we want at our own risk.
Also, IMHO, weather dell is doing exactly what you want or not, they are continuing to support freedom of choice, freedom of software, and the hacker community in general. I commend them for the effort, and would love to see other vendors follow suit.

It's a bare website (not a blog post) with nothing but a story and some contact information. If you know of a way to make this not "smell of one of the oldest ways..." do let us know.
Obviously we need to keep that in mind, but you're talking about the difference between one man's photographically documented account of an event and a theoretical response form a multi-national fast food chain's Public Relations team.
He is coming to the internet because he can't get his case handled in the way he wants to.
Obviously they aren't qualified to fix his glasses and that was a cheeky way of saying he wants them to pay for it.
All in all, he is a respectable human, who has compelling evidence of assault, who has not gotten the justice he thinks he deserves. Would you like him to give up?
I think most of us care immensely about our text editors, and specifically how they can be as efficient as possible so we can spend as little time in them as possible and get back to reading Hacker News.
Thats the blindest, most ambitious goal you could possibly have with the internet. Lets all get serious for a sec: http://thepiratebay.se/search/the%20daily%20show/0/7/0
And besides, the Viacom streaming player is terrible and low quality. If anything, this is going to remind people of the Hi-def, no-ad world they could be living in.
But for god's sake, stop posting about how they're useless every time someone starts talking about one. First off, we get it, some people think they're painfully useless. Second off, just because you can't see any direct effect, or just because the effect wasn't exactly what you wanted it to be, doesn't make them useless. They are a good tool for rallying support behind an idea. They are a good tool for spreading awareness. They are a good tool for getting a cause a little bit of noticeably. They are a good tool for collecting thoughts in a coherent matter so they may be further discussed.
TLDR: We get it. You don't get petitions. Please figure it out or stop complaining. You're not helping a goddamn thing.
I don't know if it matters, but to me "33% more for free" presents more information. It tells you that the quantity has increased and the cost has stayed the same. "33% off" just tells you the price change but nothing about quantity. Now I have to figure out if I'm actually getting the same volume I did last week.
Many patents these days get the best of both worlds. We give them that monopoly and they give not a thing back. I say if we're to have software patents, they need to all include working code. If the code doesn't produce your patentable idea, no patent.
OP seems super judgmental and a bit narcissistic.
