I'm glad that they included numbers and not just subjective interpretations...wait

This is the correct answer. Guard rails are to prevent vehicles from going down steep embankments or other hazards. They can be used for separating traffic from walkways, but I don't think there's been any studies into the efficacy of doing so.

Yeah, there's no question that when it comes to Nintendo there is none of their IP that is now abandonware

My understanding is that some people think abandonware is legal because you can't be sued in the US by someone who doesn't have legal standing in regards to the issue. If the owners don't exist or don't care, there's nobody to do enforcement.

It's still in violation of copyright law so long as the copyright hasn't expired, but if nobody can come after you, then the law will not be enforced.

You joke but this is happening to an Airline Callcenter I used to provide contracting services for. It's being used as a scapegoat for bad decisions made at the C level several years ago.

You know they're dockable, like a laptop, right?

Wow, there's a reference I didn't think I'd come across. Did you ever try using it? I was curious but never did...didn't have a use case for it.

Maybe remove that last sentence, in case someone else does too and wants it more than you do.

Unfortunately, this is very true. I've been out longer than I was in, and I remember the losses not the wins.

Edit: the one 'win' I remember, we got a letter from a lady 2 years after the event. She wrote to us to thank us for getting daughter to the trauma center alive....so that the doctors could harvest her organs, and mom was able to hear her daughter's heart beating in someone else's chest a year later.

No, you can't have a group of zero, so the counter doesn't need to waste a position counting zero.

They. Have. Already. Been. Sentenced.
