What is your "never again" brand, item, store, or restaurant ? by radbrad7in AskReddit

[–]ozuri -4 points-3 points ago

You're free to speak with your money how you see fit. I'm not sure how you can give your money to anti-gay groups as a gay, but it's not the first self-hating thing I've seen. To each their own, I suppose.

Thanks for the advice.

I know somebody that told his father that he was gay, and then the father handed him a gun and told him to kill himself. What crazy small town stories do you have, Reddit? by CleverMousein AskReddit

[–]ozuri 0 points1 point ago

Completely agreed that there's lots of people, the vast majority, who have private prejudices and nothing that bubbles to the surface.

However, there are people who just hate gay people. And people who hate just brown people. And people who hate browns and gays. And people who hate women and gays and browns. And people who hate Christians, or Muslims. There's lots of hate; plenty to go around.

Some people do just hate gay people.

Was your RDP exam during theory done with tables/wheel or eRDPml?

My entire dive kit: BC, regs, mask, fins, shorts. AKA: The joy of warm water diving! by DocCalibanin scuba

[–]ozuri 1 point2 points ago

I was in the water last weekend there and I stood on the bottom at 40' and couldn't even see the shadows of my own fins.

Normally I love it here, but man, last weekend was the pits.

My IE is May 12/13... pretty nervous. My knots are still shaky and I've not done the theory review. How did you feel about it?

I will be diving in one month in Mexico near the Mayan Riviera with my 63 year old Dive Master Father, Has anyone used this Charter before or have any advice on which dives to do/skip? by Xtremeskierbfsin scuba

[–]ozuri 1 point2 points ago

It's a 40 minute ferry ride. The ferries run once an hour. Cozumel is an island. If you're going to dive, you should definitely go to Cozumel rather than Playa del Carmen etc. My favorite operation on Cozumel is Dive Paradise. They run smaller boats (and you can request that when you book) and it's a really well run professional outfit.

I go to Cozumel at least once a year and usually twice and have taken classes and taught off their boats.

The only reason to dive on the mainland is for Cenote diving or for Whale Shark diving. If you do Whale Shark diving, take the day trip up to Isla Holbox. If you want Cenote diving, there's a laundry list of operators that do a nice job over there.

Capcom going after hackers who are unearthing even more DLC charecters on disc for Street fighter x Tekken. by logicalnoisein Games

[–]ozuri 2 points3 points ago

Let me put it another way --

If you buy a Kindle, is it your contention that you own all content that the Kindle can access?

You are buying a thing, and that thing has things it can access and things it can't. What it has on it is immaterial; what you have a right to access is the operative question. No?

That same opinion held that "The DMCA prohibits only forms of access that would violate or impinge on the protections that the Copyright Act otherwise affords copyright owners. See Chamberlain Group, Inc. v. Skylink Techs., Inc., 381 F.3d 1178, 1202 (Fed. Cir. 2004)."

The Copyright Act affords the protections described above. The use described doesn't even come close to meeting the standard of fair use.

Good try though!

You had me until "IOW, they've already sold them the content."

No, what's been sold is a disk -- a plastic disk and the rights to play content subject to the terms of TWO agreements -- both the 1st Party (Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo) and the Publisher, if such an agreement exists. Some people may have agreed to an additional agreement if the retailer from which they bought it had stipulations against returns or refunds.

Under the terms and conditions, they have a right to use that disk in a particular way.

They do hold up in court except when they don't.

They currently hold up more often than they don't, particularly when it is an affirmative click-through rather than a shrink wrap, but even shrink wrap EULAs hold up most of the time.

what are the best languages to support besides english in a game? by yuurayin gamedev

[–]ozuri 0 points1 point ago

It depends on the kind of game. Can you tell me a little about the game? Platform, genre, basic gameplay? The FIGS route is the easiest but not always the best.

What was the worst period of time of your life that you had to live through? I'll start.. by im_always_lyingin AskReddit

[–]ozuri 1 point2 points ago

I was raised in a religious cult and home schooled until the 6th grade.

Worst time was the first 3 months of public school trying to integrate, never having heard music with drums or watched TV or heard swear words.

It was like visiting an alien planet that you cannot leave full of mean-spirited little demons.

Would you stop buying games that only have super HD textures then?

As long as that's what people buy, that's what will be made.

Reasoned Response to SFGate & C.W. Nevius Perpetuating Prejudice Toward Bicyclists by caseylowdsin sanfrancisco

[–]ozuri 1 point2 points ago

Unfortunately, as a cyclist in SF, I find the vast majority of cyclists in the City to be road menaces. Pedestrians when it suits and cars when it suits, anecdotally, entitled petulant and angry are the adjectives of the day.

I wish I had the experience of "90-95%".

Did you write them down. I would like to do that for a hat.

Thank you.

The courts have repeatedly held that click through EULAs and Terms of Service are enforceable and governed by contract law.

Is it the contention that those contracts are invalid? On what basis?
