109 (b)(1)(A) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), unless authorized by the owners of copyright in the sound recording or the owner of copyright in a computer program (including any tape, disk, or other medium embodying such program), and in the case of a sound recording in the musical works embodied therein, neither the owner of a particular phonorecord nor any person in possession of a particular copy of a computer program (including any tape, disk, or other medium embodying such program), may, for the purposes of direct or indirect commercial advantage, dispose of, or authorize the disposal of, the possession of that phonorecord or computer program (including any tape, disk, or other medium embodying such program) by rental, lease, or lending, or by any other act or practice in the nature of rental, lease, or lending. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall apply to the rental, lease, or lending of a phonorecord for nonprofit purposes by a nonprofit library or nonprofit educational institution. The transfer of possession of a lawfully made copy of a computer program by a nonprofit educational institution to another nonprofit educational institution or to faculty, staff, and students does not constitute rental, lease, or lending for direct or indirect commercial purposes under this subsection.

1)Giving a copy to a friend is an indirect commercial advantage as they are not paying the license fee the copyright holder requires for distribution.

2)You aren’t a nonprofit library or educational institution so you don’t get a free pass to lend.

Citation needed. Nonprofit educational uses, sure. But giving your friend a copy of a video game is certainly not fair use.

You are for sure violating the copyright law by doing so. You have the right to make backups for personal archival but not to distribute. The second you share with someone else you are breaking copyright law.

Have you actually ever used Ada? It’s like programming with handcuffs on.

You are correct. Technically a snapshot, but unmodified files are not duplicated from the previous. Imho that is one of the key things to understand about how git works ( and why rebasing and branch manipulation works so well)

To piggyback, the true main difference is svn stores commits as snapshots and git commits are deltas from previous. This is why git is depicted as a tree since it’s inherently a node-based structure.

I feel like a SOCOM revival is desperately wanted by the community, but the cost / earnings ratio isn’t good enough. They really mean “Wish we had some IP characters we could make a hero shooter with”

Key word reported

Just to parrot you with an example, which would you prefer? A half pound of chicken breast or two apples and a banana? Guarantee you the chicken breast is gonna leave you better off on the whole than the fruits.

This is why playing a randomizer is so damn fun. Every cave/catacomb/ruin can have “the” item! Makes exploration fun again.

Battle Chasers: Nightwar

Runs pretty well on the deck and the turn based-ness of combat lends well to pick up and play

Virginia has some interesting laws that kick into effect then. Google “Virginia Rule '34” for more info

Gotta follow at least one of the two rules

1. Be attractive

2. Don’t be unattractive

gasp and they were squamates

Most of the Linux kernel is written in C

I like to feel the vibrations and a car is the most efficient space to have that environment in.

Without late fees there is no incentive to pay on time. I don’t understand the rationale to remove them entirely, though regulating maximums makes sense.

Exception of category 3: DougDoug

The basic math there obviously doesn’t jive if you take a second to think about it. Even if it’s 1/10 of the population, the defense budget is only about $20k per person which is not nearly enough money to change anything.

The healthcare budget (about 5x the defense budget) should be plenty to provide healthcare if it wasn’t for privatized insurance mucking the whole thing up

Everyone always jumps to defense spending which is not the problem. Defense spending creates hundreds of thousands of well paying jobs to American citizens. The large majority of the money used to produce military goods goes back into the economy.

Prefer dead. Estate taxes would be a field day
