So I’ve just bought a PC. I haven’t had a new computer for 12 years. The newest game I’ve played is Subnautica (and Below Zero). I’ve basically missed everything from the last 15 years.
I own a few games that I haven’t been able to play until now (Fallout 4, Star Wars Squadrons, Witcher 3, few others). Thinking I probably have enough games in my backlog to play those and maybe look at new stuff next sale.
Is it worse than actual smoking, though?
I’m not at all versed in the legalese, perhaps I’m using the wrong term (IP). We are in agreement that they can’t do anything about your site having their prices listed.
What they probably can do something about is you taking that data from their API or website without authorisation. If it isn’t called Intellectual Property, then let’s call it “Woolies doesn’t like that” law.
True, but we are speaking about what people want, not how they voted.
That’s going to be a tough one to call. Nokia Communicator had diary (calendar), web browsing and email features in the 90s. You could also tether off it, but it was dialup and most phones could do that.
That was pretty much the definition of a smart phone at the time.
It may depend on your culture, but Blackberry and Windows Mobile phones were both fairly common in business circles years before iPhones.
The iPhone was an incremental advancement, not a major invention out of nowhere. The first iPhone was actually pretty crap compared to some models on the market. It wasn’t until the 3G model that iPhones took off.
The whole start to Graceland by Paul Simon is pretty vivid:
The Mississippi Delta Was shining like a national guitar.
I am following the river down the highway through the cradle of the Civil War.
I’m going to Graceland, Graceland - Memphis, Tennessee
I’m going to GracelandPoor boys and pilgrims with families and we are going to Graceland
My traveling companion is nine years old he is the child of my first marriage
But I’ve reason to believe we both will be received in Graceland
I have never been to Tennessee. But this intro really conjures up some vivid imagery of driving down a highway through some historic country, along a river in the company of a child - and being among many others going to the same place.
It’s pure poetry.
I suspect that the majority of voters never wanted to leave in the first place. Results-wise, there was like 1.2% in it. And the leave voters were more likely to actually turn up. The problem is that too many “remainers” didn’t actually vote.
But, that’s exactly what they’ve got. Presentation of prices. If you take it from their presentation, I can see their issue. If you send people into stores to gather those facts for yourself, they don’t have a legal leg to stand on.
What I don’t really understand is why they take issue in the first place. You’re effectively advertising for them on your site.
That’s interesting, is their issue that you scraped their data? If so, then fair enough - that’s technically their intellectual property.
If you have people going into stores and getting the prices, I don’t believe they’d have a legal leg to stand on.
Monty Python.
I can’t believe people have semi serious responses to such an absurd turn of phrase. Spike Milligan would also be a reasonable response.
Oh wow. I can’t imagine going into Endgame completely blind. Had you read the comics at least? Or was it just an ensemble of weird characters with powers fighting each other and travelling through time?
What would have even been the point in the fight?
The neat thing about anonymous discussion on the Internet is that it doesn’t matter. What you have to say is all that matters.
I don’t know anything about anyone and that’s great.
