Submission + - Disney says Disney+ TOS means man can't sue for wife's fatal allegic reaction 1
beamdriver writes: As is being reported in Newsday , Disney has asked a Florida court to dismiss a wrongful-death lawsuit filed by the husband of a Carle Place physician who suffered a fatal allergic reaction after eating at a Disney Springs restaurant.
The company cited legal language agreed to years earlier when Jeffrey Piccolo, widower of Kanokporn Tangsuan, 42, of Plainview, signed up for a one-month trial of the Disney+ streaming service that requires users to arbitrate all disputes with the company, records show.
Kanokporn Tangsuan, died in October after dining with her husband, Jeffrey Piccolo, at a restaurant in a section of the Walt Disney World Resort. Despite informing the waitstaff several times of her severe peanut and dairy allergies and receiving assurances that her meal would be allergen-free, she began having severe difficulty breathing shortly after dinner. She self-administered an epi-pen and was transported to a hospital, where she later died.
A medical examiner attributed her death to anaphylaxis due to elevated levels of dairy and nuts in her system, according to the suit.

I have a Samsung Chromebook Plus and it runs Android apps pretty well.
It's pretty well sandboxed though, so I don't know if it would be able to use the USB dongle you need for SDR.

I'd like to point out that Dreams With Sharp Teeth was produced with a very pro-Ellison point of view. There's nothing wrong with that, to be sure, but if you're indulging in cinematic hagiography and the subject of your production still comes off as kind of an asshole...well...

Everything they and Assange have done pretty much confirms this.
I mean, come on, every day Assange is telling us that he's going to release some new leak about Clinton that's going to lead to her indictment. He's essentially the Russian version of our old friend, The Iraqi Information Minister.

Maybe you're confused. Holder was Attorney General. He headed up the Department of Justice. Immigration and border enforcement come under the purview of the Department of Homeland Security.
Also, not that I think you're interested in actual facts, but the Obama administration has deported more people that any other President. So far more than 2.5 million people have been deported under the Obama government. That's up 23% from the George W. Bush years.

I've seen several gushing articles -- things I saw linked to on Twitter, glanced at, thought "Yeah right" and didn't give a thought to bookmarking -- claiming that there was some kind of space-time warping effect detected in the Em-drive.
It is difficult to know where along the chain of articles-quoting-articles that "WARP DRIVE!" got added to "reactionless thruster."

The first, ummm, say two-third's of David Brin's Existence is a mix of short stories (altered a bit since their publication) and a new framework that ties it all together. It works pretty well.
The last third takes place many years after the intrigues of the first part, using a subset of the initial large cast. It is threaded around an updated version of a very old story, "Lungfish," which is arguably the keystone.
