    The restaurant is not owned by Disney, but it is on Disney property at Disney Springs, Orlando. I would imagine that they are going after a much bigger sum from the restaurant itself

    Agreed. You can't install as an app, just a home screen shortcut, notifications don't take you to the web page when clicked

    It looks like the game is part of Chrome but not Chromium, so it would be under Google's copyright. So if you mean a copy using the same assets then no. If you mean can you create an endless runner featuring a dinosaur, yes

    I used to work in a supermarket in the UK about 20 years ago. The store is not legally required to sell anything to anyone (as long as it's not because they are discriminating against a protected characteristic), so the workaround for the store was to say that the item was no longer for sale and to remove it from the shop floor (presumably fixing the labeling, then putting the stock back out)

    On one occasion, yes, over the phone.

    The other I was in a web chat on the company's website and they provided a link to a page on the same website where it asked for the characters

    The 2 occasions I can think of, it was characters from my main password. Both were during contact with the Support teams. I no longer have service with either of the companies (due to unrelated reasons)

    Is it possible to safely check for certain characters in a password?

    Basic cyber security says that passwords should be encrypted and hashed, so that even the company storing them doesn't know what the password is. (When you log in, the site performs the same encrypting and hashing steps and compares the results) Otherwise if they are hacked, the attackers get access to all the passwords. I've noticed a few companies ask for specific characters of my password to prove who I am (eg enter the 2nd and 9th character) Is there any secure way that this could be happening? Or are the companies storing my password in plain text?

    Damn. As a long time Gmail user, I used to be very happy with the spam protection and would never have an issue with it. In the past couple of years though I've started receiving multiple spam messages in my inbox per week (and occasionally legit emails in spam)

    With this, the rate limiting and privacy implications, it's driving me away from a service I used to love

    Disney finally lost something to the public domain.

    I'm not convinced that the legal right to make that film was there. Yes, the copyright has expired in the USA, however the film was produced and filmed in the UK. Winnie The Pooh is still under copyright until 2026 in the UK (70 years after the author died)

    I support Microsoft buying Activision, but they are stretching the truth there. They claim that they have consistently been third, however I remember the PS3 not doing well against the Xbox 360, and then of course there's the WiiU.
