I presume you are talking about the current copyright orphan act as no law on ACTA would be in progress yet, since the treaty has not been agreed on.
Second when a law delegates authority to a minister (regulatory authority), the regulations must be published before they can come into effect. In the UK they are published by OPSI, in Canada, they are published by the Canada Gazette.
You are correct that delegating authority to a minister means you won't know what the details will be in the future. However both the law and the regulations must be public before they can be enforced. Which was the point I was making in my post.
Exactly. Some brands are more easily quantified such as the brands in niche product markets or service markets, while more general brands such as WalMart are much harder to quantify.
Its not law yet. Its a proposed international treaty. Once it is signed, then each individual country that signs (an ratifies) it is then obligated to pass laws to implement the treaty. Those laws of course will be public.
The problem with secret negotiations, is that the public is then presented with a fait d'accompli, which must be implemented in law, thus depriving them of any input. In some countries, the ratification process provides some measure of input, but it is binary, either yes or no. Once ratified, the politicians can then say, "we have to pass this law, we are obligated by the treaty" and ignore any opposition from the public.
Brand related risk is risk to your reputation that damages your "Brand".
They are talking about enterprise level IT. So you are working for some
large company such as WalMart or Microsoft or IBM. Examples
might be defacing the website, or stealing customer information.
A more subtle attack may be to change the price in a database
indicating a sale that doesn't really exist. Too many customers
buy the product and you have to backtrack on the price and cancel
orders. This would damage your reputation.
Or many others...
Of course, the implication is that Symantec Security products would
prevent such events.
The only part that is under penalty of perjury is that you own the copyright or represent the person that does. The rest is "good faith" and "best effort". The courts have always shown a reluctance to penalize anyone for bringing a court action. Even with anti-SLAPP laws.
If the calculators only did math, it wouldn't be a problem. But modern calculators have a lot of memory and can store all sorts of things including text.
I suspect what he meant by a fountain pen was a cartridge based nib pen. They are still readily available, and were what I used to take notes with when I was a student. I personally find them easier to write with than ball point pens. The only problem they have is a tendency to leak if you are not careful.
I teach a 3rd year OS course. It is mostly concepts (scheduling, concurrency, etc). The only math that has to be done in the exam is calculating the average of 5 or 6 numbers all less than 30 (e.g. average waiting time for a set of process bursts). There are no calculators allowed on the exam. A significant fraction of the students are not capable of adding 5 2 digit numbers and dividing by 5 and getting the right number.
When is the last time you saw a DMCA complainant found guilty of perjury? In legal circles, this is considered a nuclear weapon, and the Judges rarely if ever find anyone guilty. Instead we get defenses such that "it was an honest mistake!" and the weasels live on to sue another day. No the DMCA is one of the *worst* things to happen to the net. The rarity in which a perjury charge sticks allows the weasels to issue takedown notices with little regard for consequences. How else would you justify a take down notice being sent to a printer?
And Lake Ontario is south of lake Huron. A lot of the flight paths from Western Canada to Toronto
cut below Superior and Huron Crossing upper Wisconsin and Upper Michigan, putting in danger from
terrorist attacks such places as Iron River, Ishpemming, Petosky, and Gaylord.
I know you were going for the cheap laugh and Funny mod points
(no the joke did not go over my head).
However there is more to the world than C, C++, Java and C#. Many
computer languages still use = for equivalence. More importantly, in a story about
mathematics, using = for the equivalence operator is probably more
appropriate somehow.
It is not double jeopardy. Double jeopardy is when the person is charged a second time for the same offense. This is a re-trial on the same charges.The prosecutors cannot simply retry, they have to convince an appeals court that an error of law (not of fact) was made by the trial judge in the first case. Similarly in the case of a guilty verdict, the defense can try to convince the appeals court that an error was made. Inmost cases a retrial is very rarely granted. In general, second trials have less success at convictions than the first trial.
I second this.. My most recent foray (yesterday) into Open source documentation involved a problem with Policy Kit. We have a headless ubuntu system in the lab which people use via "ssh -X" and Xnest. A recent update changed policies so that the administrator can no longer add users or change any permissions from Xnest (all of the gnome tools have the unlock icon greyed out!!). All of the manuals for PolicyKit and for PolicyKit gnome are virtually useless as they give the syntax for setting or modifying permissions, but there is no list of what the policy names for setting the permissions are. Searches on the web find results that say to go to the console and use Administration->Authorizations> freedesktop..... But since there is no console, this is less than useful advice.
Now what happens if ACTA gets signed? According to yesterdays article, ACTA may be requiring some form of n-strikes law. Maybe this will prompt the european negotiators to remove the language from ACTA. Naaaaaa, that would be too sensible...
I read it as you can use 69% for as long as you want and can spike to 100% for periods of less than 15 minutes. If your spike lasts more than 15 minutes you have to stay below 50% for at least 15 minutes. Rinse, lather and repeat.
The question is not if the info can be aquired via warrant served to the institution (pts 1 and 2), but if the owner must *also* be notified of the warrant. See http://www.dodig.mil/inspections/IPO/Subpoena/FrequentQuestions.htm
The link is military but applies to other cases as well.
In the case in the article, the judge said that only the ISP gets served the warrant, and the email account holder doesn't have to be notified at all. So they can look at your email with a warrant and you may never know.
The back notes of the first book originally stated it was the first book in a series of 6-8 books. If he had kept to that schedule, it would have been a great series. However some of the middle books of the series are nothing but filler. I remember reading one and afterwords felt that I wanted not only my money back but the time I spent reading it.
I know this is slashdot, but did you read anything before replying? The article
in discussion (at the top of the page fyi) discusses the discovery that millimeter wave radio waves
appear to be resonant with DNA, resulting in significant DNA damage. Yes the new
millimeter wave machines are not Xrays. But this is new research that shows that
the effects may be greater than anticipated. It certainly bears looking into to determine if
there is a problem.
The parent poster was drawing a similarity in the use to that of the
use of XRays for fitting shoes. He certainly wasn't talking about giving up on airport
security. The metal detectors work quite well. I haven't seen much evidence that spending
a lot of money to allow some barney fife to look at my privates is going to significantly increase the security
of flying. And to those who modded you insightful, get a clue!

Tell that to a civil engineer....

Hell, Ted Kennedy's still on the list.
And he's dead to boot!!
Actually, the tools are old enough that most of them were made in North America.
My brother makes the toys that he gives to my nephew. Granted my nephew is only 2 1/2, but still, home made blocks and boats and cars still are a hit.

It has no mechanisms to allow for encrypted content to come into the public domain after the copyright term has expired.
Since you don't seem to have figured it out yet, the copyright term will *never* expire. Congress will keep extending it retroactively every 10 years.
