DMCA Invoked Against Garage Door Openers

boijames writes "In the latest bit of DMCA lunacy, copyright guru David Nimmer turned me onto a case that his firm is defending, where a garage door opener company (The Chamberlain Group) has leveled a DMCA claim (among other claims) against the maker of universal garage door remotes (Skylink)."

software sweatshop morelike (clue - he's reading /.). When your corporate pigopolist tech employer outsources the last programming job to Bangalore, be sure to turn off the light on the way out of the building.

Well, aside from having no sense of humor, you don't really seem to have any sense. I wouldn't have made the comment if I hadn't read the innumerable screeds written by people like yourself on this very topic.

But, since you have no sense, and since I'm in a bad mood, I will offer you a hint: coffee is hot, don't spill it on yourself. I like my coffee hot, but if you come over to my house you will have to sign a waiver, and don't spill it on the couch please.

Some more hints:
- tea is also hot, see coffee, don't put the paper cup between your legs;
- knives are sharp--even though some are not so sharp, some are very sharp--don't test them on your body parts;
- heights are high, so although you can jump off a chair, you can't jump off a balcony;
- you can't breathe water, so although you can swim under water for a limited time, you can't stay under too long;
- smoking is bad for you, you may die earlier if you smoke--you have been told this for a very long time, so don't plead ignorance;
- french-fries and whoppers have a lot of calories and will make you fat, so you can have them once in a while, but don't eat them every day.

Perhaps we should write up a list of things you probably should already know for you?

512 - no problem. I remember @ school brute forcing a 3 digit padlock during spare time in my lunch hour over the course of a week

Ate lunch by yourself a lot, eh?

Did you forget your combination? Must have been a bummer carrying around al your books for a week.

Quite a number of years ago, when Consumers Reports tested coffee makers, they measured the temperature of the coffee in the pots. There were a number of pots that kept it at 180 degrees or more.

The versions of the McDonalds coffee lawsuit I've read had the coffee temperature at 180 degrees.

I wonder how many people now complain that their coffee is too cold by the time they drink it?
