dork. When I say that I had the urge to mark it redundant I mean that in a humorous way.
While your post was not a duplicate of someone elses, the very mention of difficulties in domain name transfer is redundant after having mentioned that you are dealing with NSI.
If I were serious about moderating it redundant, I would have done so.
Yes, but if I have a trademarked name, they can't resell it. They can receive a registration fee, since they are the registrars, but numerous court cases have given the names to the trademark holders.

perhaps it would not stand up in court. But assuming that they don't actually check everywhere, or they don't actually review it, it certainly can be patented.
You are in violation of patent #-683, a patent owned by the company I currently represent. This patent covers the process of online contests whereby entries are posted in a moderated forum to be reviewed by a judge outside the moderation system.
If you can redistribute your notes, does this mean that lecturers that attend lectures cannot come back and teach what they have learned? They are after all getting paid for teaching, making it commercial.
Actually the best they hope for is that all patents are upheld going both ways. If this happens, then they can just exchange, and they have the results of previous court cases to cite in suits brought against others.
This brings up the interesting possibility that they have agreed beforehand to bring these suits, and to intentionally lose just to patents they do own.
The board of any large company has a legal responsibility to the shareholders to maintain a viable company. When some group like the NSA comes along and says nothing will be shipped without a backdoor, the company is legally responsible to do whatever it takes to get the items shipped.
Only one company would have my information. Another company might have yours. It doesn't matter, but I could narrow it down to the point where I could have a single company to blame for information leaks. There could certainly be more than one company.
As far as monopolies go, they are a result of capitalism. But the companies you mention have hardly been guilty of terrible things. Sure, bad music and bad movies may come out of the closed town of hollywood, but its been our choice to watch that crap. Microsoft has consistently provided people and companies with what they wanted, relatively cheap and easy to use computers. Apple isn't cheap, and Unix isn't easy. They crapped the middle ground which is filled with mediocre people. Now people want to have the benefits of a standardized desktop only possible with a monopoly, and they want to set the prices on it also. It is completely wrong to use force against a company when alternatives exist, and to justify it with some crap about a free market.
The free market forces that free software is putting on Microsoft will eventually chip away at Microsoft, relegating them to life as an application company. The writing is on the wall for MS already.
An interesting thing to not is how much/. readers hate monopolies, but they get into religious wars about which OS (editor, shell, gui, etc) to use. For example, I think many people would like to see everyone work on just Linux, and not BSD. This also would stifle creativity, and alternatives and force the user down certain paths. Then again, I think most/. readers contribute absolutely nothing other than flames to free software as a whole.
I've digressed, and I don't mean to have a tone that I'm attacking you. I'm just espousing my views that somewhat relate to what you were saying.
Only one megacorp would have all your information, but they would have a very, very strong incentive to protect it, and make amends should it be breeched. This is a good sign of capitalism working like it should....without government intervention.
Some degrees do actually train you to do something, and provide reasonable certification that you can do it. (ie. engineering, and accounting)
As a prescreen for the right kinds of students for higher learning(PhD's, MD's,..etc.)
If you have good scholarships, or just have the money to do it, it can be quite enjoyable to learn just for learning's sake.
A high school student may have no clue what they are going to do for a living, and college is a good place to find out.
Never again will you have as good a place to meet your potential spouse.
College is fun.
My points against it would be that in the tech field I could have had 4 more years experience, and spent $80k less by the time I turned 22. But that doesn't include the full opportunity cost of not working those 4 years. I spent $80k in 4 years, when I could have easily made another $100k after taxes, bringing the total to $180k. So I could have had $180k stashed away by age 22 compared to what I ended up with. I will grant you that money isn't everything, but I also believe that those people that say money isn't important are usually talking about other people's money.
To take an economist view of the situation, I would say that you need to decide what amount of money it would take to stop you from going to college. If someone offeres that to you, in a job that you can live with, go for it.
Personally if I have to decide between spending $20k this next year, or making $50k, I'm going with the $50k. I'll head back to school later if I'm tired of work.
Yes, but different prices by computer are a good thing. It is only a matter of time before someone reverse engineers the process to get the lowest price. The next step would be to write a program that will set you up with that same profile that gets those low prices.
I personally think they actually know they don't have a legal leg to stand on. But, they can get a lawsuit, perhaps an injunction, and just drag it out with, effectively, the result they want until the verdict arrives. It mays be years before it ever gets that far.
I think we should have a bounty set up for anyone providing proof that these guys know they are wrong, but are using the courts as a business tactic.
For that matter is there anything actually criminally illegal about that, or would it just require yet another civil suit going the other way?
Some of the things would be stealing though. For instance, if you talked to an NPC, and they said, "Hello I am chief of the NPC's" or some other nonsense like that. If that speech comes from the server side, Hackersquest would be quilty of copyright infringement if they copied the storylines from the game.
There are many instances where original text comes from the server, and copying this to the emulator would be theft.
Having played many games online, and made the choice between pay servers, and free servers, I prefer to pay $10/month. The most important thing this buys me is moderation. There are real people running the game that will give the boot to the 12 year old that spams the place non-stop. It may not get rid of every imbecile, but it does go a long way.
Lego is not an English word in any normal sense. Adopted into the English language, it is most commonly used as either a trademarked name (if you ask a lawyer) or in reference to a small plastic interlocking brick (if you ask nearly anyone else).
Since the word doesn't exist in the English language, I think its fair to pluralize it any way we choose.
Language derives from those that use the words. It isn't decreed first, and enforced later.
Also, about being pedantic. It can mean either rigid and formal, as in a proof (I assume you mean it that way) or as being overly concerned with minutiae (which is the way you sound). Or, maybe you we're just trolling and I bit.

Of course, Natalie Portman's career doesn't seem terribly active right now.
Anyone else here consider a 600MHz Celeron a screamer?
as I understand it, you don't have rights to the source unless a binary has been distributed to you.

I could have known not enough for half the cost. I'd throw the report in for free.
92 is recent compared to the space race of the 60's.

There are good sides to college though:
- Some degrees do actually train you to do something, and provide reasonable certification that you can do it. (ie. engineering, and accounting)
- As a prescreen for the right kinds of students for higher learning(PhD's, MD's,
..etc.)
- If you have good scholarships, or just have the money to do it, it can be quite enjoyable to learn just for learning's sake.

Of course if you launch the game to hackersquest, you might not ever get to that EULA.
The would have said, "What's ADD?" because nobody had it back then. Sure, there were one or two "hyper" kids in school, but nowhere near 5%.
