Interesting. I did notice that before my original post, but I thought in first reading that only applied to the *sale* of an item with the seal. Took a few additional reads to get the real meaning out of it. The best emphasis is probably...
[...] knowingly manufactures, reproduces, sells, or purchases for resale, either separately or appended to any article manufactured or sold [...]
Whoever knowingly displays any printed or other likeness of the great seal of the United States, or of the seals of the President or the Vice President of the United States, or the seal of the United States Senate, or the seal of the United States House of Representatives, or the seal of the United States Congress, or any facsimile thereof, in, or in connection with, any advertisement, poster, circular, book, pamphlet, or other publication, public meeting, play, motion picture, telecast, or other production, or on any building, monument, or stationery, for the purpose of conveying, or in a manner reasonably calculated to convey, a false impression of sponsorship or approval by the Government of the United States or by any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both. (Emphasis mine)
Seems like this wouldn't apply to The Onion as a satirical piece.
I think spam will likely fill any e-mail address I get...
That's why you get a domain and create/delete as many emails as you please. I have one primary email that is almost entirely spam free and two or three others that I use when I sign up for "shady" stuff. Not to mention the probably 50 or so I've created and deleted for one time use (:
I've done this to myself a couple of times while debugging JS. In Camino I just go to the preferences and turn off javascript; this stops the JS in its tracks and I don't need to restart the browser. I'm guessing this is true for Firefox since it works in Camino, but I've no proof of that.
So I downloaded Opera and it worked. Unless FEMA have gone out of their way to eliminate Opera, you should be able to register with Opera. In other words, there is nothing on that page that Opera cannot handle. We've registered a few hundred people already and a few with Opera.
It would seem that is because Opera identifies itself as IE7 OOB. I've heard from people who claim to have used the form by switching their UA strings to look like IE7.
That lawyer is Ray Beckerman of Bedlock Levine & Hoffman LLP. He started a blog recently posting information about the trail. Some of the documents are great reads, the judge is pretty much disgusted by the RIAA's actions.
As someone who works in the independent music industry, and works on digital distibution of over 50 indie labels. I'd like to say, you're completly incorrect. We currently distro 90% of the catalogs of about half our labels, and are working to get contracts from the rest. We manage their digital music and sell it through the following services:
iTunes Music Match MusicNet Music Now Audio Lunchbox DownloadPunk Downrip Sony Connect
So, if you think iTunes is the only choice for independent labels, it's your own fault for not seeking alternatives. And no, iTunes is not the biggest seller for all of our labels.
The issue at hand is whether or not the BBC initiated a viral marketing campaign. It didn't. End of story, it doesn't matter what employee editted the story from The BBC on or off work hours.
That minus side exists for everything in life; you can't really pin to just football, or even sports in general. Certain people will always try to bend/break the rules, be arrogant, and want to flaunt their achievements. IMHO, the superiors do have an impact, but you'll find very few who "teach" you these things directly -- it eventually boils down to the person doing the deed.
. People need that time during the day to decompress, and maybe even have their subconscious work on a problem for awhile after they have been intensly focused on it.
Amen to that. I can't count the number of times I've been so deeply involved in a problem that the most obvious answer was miles away, and the second I step away from the problem and clear my head the answer comes to me. Without some time to unwind and relax a little I would never get a damn thing worth mention done. I think this type of thing should be expected and appreciated as long as we are working 40-50+ hour work weeks.
I am exactly the same way, but slightly worse. I'm not even addicted to gaming in general, I'm just addicted to the damn GTA3 series, so I own a Windows machine at home. But I manage an all Mac shop at work, so it all evens out (:
Movies are shared experiences. Most people watch movies as a group so that they can laugh together or cry together, at each entertaining scene that unfolds on their television or the silver screen.
You could say the exact same thing about music. Most people I know love to share music with friends and expose one another to new bands/sounds. This type of "private vs. group" idea can be applied readily to both movies and music. I enjoy watching certain movies with friends, and certain movies on my own -- and the exact same goes for listening to music.
While I agree that a video iPod may not match the success that the audio iPod has, I would say that's only because the market is already full of iPods (:
If there's one thing I've learned in my years of being an indie music snob and specifically this past year working in "the biz," it's that everyone has shitty taste in music, except me (:
Again, SlashDot is prooving that it's no longer at the forefront of IT industry and geek news (as if we didn't know it already).. This story was out last week at the BBC..
Actually slashdot had a post about this a while back. This one just seems to be more focused on the BBC article and some additional details.

Weird, I'm in the middle of that episode right now.

That little or makes a world of difference (:
There is a law regarding the seal: TITLE 18, 713.
Whoever knowingly displays any printed or other likeness of the great seal of the United States, or of the seals of the President or the Vice President of the United States, or the seal of the United States Senate, or the seal of the United States House of Representatives, or the seal of the United States Congress, or any facsimile thereof, in, or in connection with, any advertisement, poster, circular, book, pamphlet, or other publication, public meeting, play, motion picture, telecast, or other production, or on any building, monument, or stationery, for the purpose of conveying, or in a manner reasonably calculated to convey, a false impression of sponsorship or approval by the Government of the United States or by any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

Now they're turning around and telling add-on companies they want to do the same thing???
To answer your question, no.

Not sure why the mod changed the link.

Actually, NASA published it as a "podcast," even though it doesn't really fall under the "official" definition of one.

So the proper steps are:
1. NASA gets MP3.
2. NASA calls it a podcast.
3. ???
4. Profit!!!
Lucky for me I leave for a week-long paid vacation in a few hours, so I'm _already_ slacking off. Now I have yet another reason to do so!
Naked Fridays!
I don't know about you. But I'd need a whole lot of rum and ecstacy before I could survive a "Naked Friday" at my office.
