I'm vaguely familiar with Hermetic magic in the "medieval Græco-Egyptian esotericism" sense. Does "Hermetic Mage" refer to something specific in an RPG?

People's minds go to the worst possible scenario when you say "convicted pedophile," or at least mine did. I don't think the distinction between diddling elementary schoolers and taking pictures of a high schooler is arbitrary.

I'm not defending Jones, he can go to hell. I'm just adding context to a thread that contained misinformation.

Not really. He had a prolific career before the scandal broke in 2002 and he's been in maybe six projects in the decades since. Ferris Bueller, Beetlejuice, and Amadeus were all before the scandal.

Just to provide context, he paid a 14-year-old to pose for photos. There were no allegations of physical contact and the victim was not a prepubescent child (as implied by the term pedophile). Still inappropriate, criminal, and all-around fucked up.

How does this work exactly? I thought you had to be a full-time resident of the state (>50% of the year) to cast a ballot in that state's elections?

If he had moved to Indiana full time last year, he wouldn't be able to vote in Illinois elections this year. But since he moved to a foreign country full time last year instead, he can?

Interesting kink.

Jeez, I was hoping to click the link and find that it was an old article because I know I saw this exact situation in another article a couple years ago :(

I don't see it. Link?

I heard Steve Wozniak talk about doing this with $2 bills. He had them bound in a booklet and perforated so that he could tear them out one-by-one. Definitely one of the more entertaining ways to tip a waiter.

The point is that the publisher isn't going to revoke your access to the physical book at any time. It's a durable good, and whether the materials last one year or five hundred years is irrelevant to the fact that you (and all subsequent owners) have the legal right to the unimpeded use and enjoyment of the book for as long as it lasts.

When you PURCHASE/BUY/OWN a copy of software, it is reasonable to believe that you have the legal right to the unimpeded use and enjoyment of that copy for as long as it lasts. That means no "always-online" requirements that make ongoing communication with the publisher mandatory, no chance of access to the software being remotely revoked, and no restrictions on gifting or reselling the copy.

That looks absolutely fantastic

There is that of God in everyone.
