The teacher (it was in a secondary school) had a book which he kept in a locked drawer. When the book came out, it was cover-laminated with a chain attached and connected to the back of the drawer. It could not be moved more than six feet from the desk. Must've been some money's worth, or it was his script (he was a bit of a twit and kept referring to the thing).
BTW, if you feel like it, mod parent funny, 'cos it made me remember and chuckle a bit.
the Caetano coaches that National Express use have LED main beams. They're all at least ten years old, and while the chassis might be built by either Volvo or Renault, the coachwork is all Spain.

A lot of new cars (Audi A8 and TT to name two, also the new BMWs, Citroens, and the Ford compacts have nothing but LED lightgear) have LED running lights using Cree or Luxeon (most likely Luxeon as they're slightly cheaper) elements. LED indicators have been around for years, at least as long as CHMBL (Centre High Mounted Brake Lights) became mandatory on every new car sold in the UK a decade or some ago. Some EU directive.
Quote: "Plaintiffs, consisting of individuals and associational organizations, assert claims for copyright infringement for the alleged unauthorized reproduction and distribution of books owned by the Universities"
If they're going to phrase their assertion like that, surely the Doctrine of First Sale applies?
Also: "Plaintiffs’ motion for judgment on thepleadings insofar as it seeks a ruling that fair use and other defenses are unavailable to theDefendants as a matter of law is DENIED."
DOES NOT say "Judgment for the Respondents insofar as their use of the material of which hard copy they own (as freely admitted in the VERY FIRST PARAGRAPH) constitutes "Fair Use".
I will buy the argument that the Plaintiffs made no *specific claims*, in that they do not seem to have specified titles or specific copyright ownership. Any *sane* Judge would dismiss on those grounds alone.
I will also accept: The Copyright Act’s standing clause explicitly limits who may enforce copyright claims: “the legal or beneficial owner of an exclusive right under a copyright is entitled . . . to institute an action for anyinfringement of that particular right committed while he or she is the owner of it.” 17 U.S.C. 501(b). By that same argument I will not negotiate with MPAA/RIAA/BPI or any associative umbrella. I will deal only with the *actual copyright holder*. Anyone else claiming to be representing a copyright holder can go fuck himself.
ABKO Music Inc. v. Harrisongs Music, Ltd., 944 F.2d 971, 980 (2d Cir. 1991) (“[T]he Copyright Act does not permit copyright holders to choose third parties to bring suits on their behalf.” is a precedent decision which prevents such idiocy as you see here.
As the Collection is made as a digital Library (by the very title of the project), as far as I can see it is protected under Section 108 as a Library, with the protections afforded a dead tree repository. A Section 108 defense is NOT an exclusion of Section 107 (Fair Use) as it specifically states that it is an *additional protection of rights for libraries*.
I can see a Chaffee Amendment in there as well. Oh, look, there it is. Foot of Page 15. Google it.
At the bottom of the Judgment, the very last page, the decision is basically: the Plaintiffs have no legal standing to make the claim they did since they are not copyright holders. The seven dockets were closed and the case dismissed. This does NOT prevent the actual copyright holders filing on their own, even to repeat verbatim, the entire bundle. There *may* be some legal standing under hte Berne Convention, but that is an argument for another day, another courtroom.
most new cars I've seen over the past 5-6 years have come with LED headlights. First thing I did when I got the electronics for my bike in 2007 was replace the HIDs with LEDs. They're far more efficient and far more rugged.
I would rather buy a Bickerstaffe or a Beauchamp. Oh wait, I already have a Bickerstaffe *and* a Beauchamp. The Bear went back after one of the leaves started to splinter.
A bow isn't a weapon. It's a projectile launcher. I've used a compound bow to launch a rope leader. Nothing died, but a brick face was severely inconvenienced. A rifle or pistol are also not weapons. They are projectile launchers. Rifles during WWII were used to fire grapnels to scale cliffs. The projectiles are what makes it a weapon.
He's not the only judge who falls asleep during hearings. HHJ Thorpe (Family Division of England's High Court) is famous for it: I've been in the room when he fell asleep *while delivering a judgement!*
The last time the Citizenry were armed, and the country's leader (albeit in the following example, not an elected one) tried to abrogate the rights of the Citizen granted by God and reinforced in Law from the Code of Alfred onward... he was decapitated. Google Charles I and the Second English Civil War (1648-9).
Now, we're seeing - in every so-called "democracy" - the rights of the Citizen whittled away in the name of national security, which Government then arms the private security force known universally as the Police, and turns them out with little to no training and absolutely no psychological screening (I've trained police firearms officers, I should know that a lot of them are such complete idiots they should be left alone in a room with a pistol and one bullet, they'd last all of thirty seconds before removing themselves from the gene pool). Worst yet, a lot of these police officers can't even speak the first language of the country they're expected to police! To me, the enabling of a foreign armed force on domestic soil is TREASON.
actually, the standard test does not discriminate between siblings.
source: I was privy to a case in the UK where the standard test was employed to attempt to determine paternity; the test could not separate the two men (who were full siblings) who were contending paternity. Rather than go to the expense of an extended test (which would certainly have been able to separate enough markers to determine paternity), the "court" decided to find fact in favour of the Local Authority who had claimed that the brother of the husband was in fact the father, hence the mother was an adultress, hence untrustworthy.
actually, I worked in PC repair for eight years. The worst power connectors I ever came across were the pin-type Dell ones, where the centre pin was actually a sensor not a conductor (the positive conductor is the inside of the barrel). Those things are a double whammy: more often than not the pin breaks inside the socket, which requires a replacement of both plug and socket. For some strange reason, mechanical replacement renders the sensor pin useless save for locating the plug (OK, completely useless), and the laptop won't charge while powered on. The Dell 4-pin connectors have proven time and again to be the most resilient (I've owned, and still own, Latitudes and Inspirons that employ these connectors and not a single one has failed; nor have I ever had to try to replace one for anyone else).
I've dealt with Apple connectors as well. I've seen plenty of G4 Powerbooks (and a couple G3 Lombards) where the adapters have bent pins which physically prevent mating. Again, there's some sort of retarded sensor thing going on there, as simply replacing the plug renders the brick useless.
As it happens, I own an EeePC. These things have what appears to be the most fragile power connector on the planet. You could plug the thing into a Nokia (not recommended) it's that thin. I've had no problems with it after a year and a half, and that's after dropping the thing into a bag with the power connected. Must be some sort of Blackbox fabrication process going on there...

eh? Last I checked Lamborghini don't make bikes. They started out making tractor units, went into sports cars, but never a bike AFAIK. ICBW.

Universities' book repositories=libraries.
Or did you think they kept them in cabinets in each lecture hall?

my bad - misread the first article, what I should have said was:
still... nearly 0.5^998080 fraction of the DNA should still be viable.
I think it lost the giggle factor second time round...
still... nearly half the bug's DNA should still be viable ;)

I think the quote from the book is slightly different:

That's called a Star Chamber. Abolished in England 1641. Resurrected in the twentieth Century under the guise of Family Proceedings.
