Don't know about the Amish, but I know the Mormon church keeps very detailed geneological records. It wouldn't surprise me if the Amish did the same, particularly since they're a much smaller and localized group.
But isn't the point of this that they're cracking down on people charging to play games? By doing so, they're creating a service that incorporates use of the trademark, aren't they? I know, probably a stretch. Just trying to pre-guess what angle they're using.
And here's where the trademark infringment is most likely to occur... the names of the race / clan / tribe / class / tradition / association / etc of the characters in the World of Darkness universe are all registered trademarks. So by saying a character is an "X", where "X" is a praticular character type that denotes specific abilities and/or limitations... such declarations of type cannot be made without violating their trademarks.
I have one of the collections of Ellison erotica written under the pen-name "Paul Merchant." I was able to get Ellison to sign it using his preferred nom de plume (which the publisher wouldn't let him use), D.S. Merchant (for Dirty Smut Merchant). I wasn't really sure how he would handle being handed a copy of Sex Gang at a signing, but he was in good spirits. He doesn't normally sign those, but he hadn't seen a copy in a while.
Then again, with the parent post misreading as "Bruce Willis", that could be "the Twilight Zone guy" too... Bruce starred in the New Twilight Zone episode based on one of Ellison's short stories, "Shatterday".
And where exactly are you getting your facts? There's no mention of CC in the linked article and it's not like Creative Commons is actually a software license, anyway...
Actually, color RC paper is cheaper than B&W RC... Kodak Endura Color Glossy 8x10 goes for $29.95 for 100 sheets while Kodak Polycontrast IV RC B&W paper, 8x10 sells for $44.95 per box of 100 sheets. I can't speak to the chemistry, though. And in initial setup, a color enlarger head will set you back more than a black & white condenser enlarger.
The North American operating unit of AgfaPhoto today announced that its financial position and business operations are unaffected by the insolvency filing of its parent company, AgfaPhoto GmbH, in Germany last week.
Agreed 100%. That's the response that I've given on the 3 or 4 photo mailing lists that I'm on. I know a LOT of photographers still doing traditional B&W printing, but all of them use Ilford, Berger, Kentmere or Agfa. Not a single one uses Kodak for B&W paper.
Good reason for no-one to care... Ep III establishes a Yoda/Chewbacca relationship enough... the fact that they never interact in IV, V or VI makes any intermediate story unnecessary. Likewise, Mace killing Jango in II is enough for young Boba to hate all Jedi, but he never encounters Obi Wan in IV, V or VI, and doesn't really seem to care about Luke at all... just getting Han for Jabba's bounty. Again, a non-story.
Dude, you're way off, at least for the big cities... In Los Angeles there are theaters that regularly charge $14 per ticket, and a few that will charge more because they're trying to throw in some "added value" to the moviegoing experience. (Granted, in these high-priced examples, they don't show ads, and sometimes not trailers...)
A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol or design, or a combination of words, phrases, symbols or designs, that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others.
So yeah, you can trademark the word "trademark" in regards to a specific product or market. You could sell TradeMark(tm) cookies, if you liked, or call your car company "trademark". Anyone else selling cookies or cars and using the word trademark in certain ways might be found in violation. On the other hand, I believe common words are considered "weak trademarks" and can be tougher to enforce than made-up words or proper names.
John Cage's 4'22" was the soundtrack for most of the early Infocom games, as far as I can tell. Some of other early Commodore 64 games that required frequent floppy drive access may have been using Terry Riley's "In C" for their soundtrack as well... It might be hard to prove either, though, if someone wanted royalties...
I've heard one of the Telarc recordings of Rachmaninoff reconstructed from player piano rolls. It didn't do a whole lot for me, but then again, it might be that I don't really like how Telarc discs (or Deutsche Grammophon, for that matter) are engineered...

You're right. Lou Ann Barton is about as unfunny as you can get. ;^)

Looks like the RSS 2.0 spec is under Share Alike, actually. Ya learn something new every day...
Yeah, but isn't that really all RSS is? Another format of the RDF that was used for channels?

The beauty of photochemical work is that it fails in interesting ways...

FUD. It got out of receivership in Feb 2005.

...reveal how certain characters ended up together
Isn't the main unknown in that gap between III and IV how Han met Chewie? All the other Ep IV relationships are fairly well accounted for...

There you go... my visions of an 11 second shorter version must have been a radio edit or something.

The difference between brown-nosing and kissing ass? Depth perception...
