Nathen had been captured the previous day, along with dozens of others, and like them, had been let go, Sgt Sprague said. Then they caught him again with a Kalashnikov in mint condition and 3m dinars.

In the end the marines let father and son go on their way with gun and money, accepting that both were for personal use.
It allows you to ensure that a greater fraction of your photodetector surface is actual detectors, and that a smaller percentage of light falls between pixels and is undetected.
Perhaps.
I haven't read all of the patents yet, but the first patent was about a database structore incorportaing cunsumer privacy wishes, and patent
6,169,997 is about categorizing web site logs for easy management. It's not about anything else.
The abstract:
Currently, a web site stores Internet data indicating file access status for the files that have been accessed in response to requests from web browsers. Unfortunately, the Internet data are kept as a set of separate and non-correlated data records that are chronologically arranged according to the times at which the requests have been received and processed. Consequently, the Internet data are not arranged meaningful to management and business operation. The present invention correlates web page files (HTML, SHTML, DHTML, or CGI files) with subject areas (such as sports, news, entertainment, restaurant, shopping, computing, business, health, family, travel and weather). In this way, the Internet data are presented in a format meaningful to management and business operation.
This is not a claim on the whole of the Internet. I haven't read the rest of the patents yet (and probably won't, if the first two were this harmless), but I'd be a but suprised to find a claim covering "all of the Internet".
I looked on CERT's site for any evidence to back your assertion that CERT found a significant overlap between the open-source community and script kiddies. I couldn't find any.
The only reason I could find for attacking IIS over Apache is that it's easier, and the administrators are often less skilled.
to sue the local store, after they are made aware that the product is defective, if they continue selling it without sufficient, unambiguous disclosure that their products are not "Audio CDs".
If they don't know what they're doing, they may be liable for replacing the defective product, but it would be hard to prove that they did anything intentionally.
Macrovision is (I believe) part of the DVD spec. Unless your player is modified to disable this 'feature', there is a macrovision encoding chip that can be software enabled to 'protect' the video output. I'm not certain about the terms, but I think if a DVD publisher wants Macrovision on their title, they pay a licensing fee to the Macrovision folks and the 'Macrovision' bit is flipped on the disk. This is why one doesn't usually connect their DVD player to the VCR, thence to the TV, but instead connects directly to the TV.
Portions of large companies do nto always work in concert. It is very possible for a large conglomerate to own companies or have divisons that are on opposite sides of a technology or social issue.
A domain was registered, with this guy listed as the contact but with incorrect email. He can prove that he is himself, he has all sorts of documentation to demonstrate that he is the fellow of the listed name who lives at the listed address. If the domain is indeed registered by him, he should be able to remove it. If it is not registered by him, but is registered by someone else using his name and address, then I believe that Network Solutions is assisting that unnamed other person in perpetrating a fraud if Network Solutions refuses to remove the listing after the individual with the name and address appearing in the registration appears (with piles of identification) and demands the removal of the listing.
If I post an advertisement in the paper announcing (say) your bankrupcy, giving your name and address as contact information and printing them in the add, and the newspaper refuses to pull it even after you demonstrate that you are the person referred to in the add and are not at all bankrupt, then I'd think that the paper is an accomplice to my fraud.
A company whose entire business model is based upon illegally exploiting a common resource (other people's fax machines) deserves to be bankrupted. The law calls for a penalty of $500/infraction, and Fax.com has very high volume. $500 * an awful lot = $(an awful lot).
The lawyer's not being predatory here, he's asking for the amount prescribed by law. Granted, he's being greedy setting up the class-action, but I'm sure he knows that there's no way in hell that he'll collect anything within five orders of magnitude of what he's asking for.
The bragging rights of winning that sort of judgement have got to be worth something.
The BBC discs, as well as all other DVDs manufactured for release in Europe, are encoded in PAL rather than NTSC. Playing them in the US requires a DVD player that can play region 2 discs, and that can also convert PAL to NTSC. Most Americans don't have a PAL-capable TV.
Many Europeans, I understand, have PAL TVs that can also render NTSC reasonably well. This lets them watch region 1 NTSC discs on their hacked DVD players. However, an American wishing to play a PAL DVD on an NTSC set needs a player with PAL to NTSC conversion, like one of the APEXs.
France and Japan are the same DVD region, but French TVs and DVDs use the PAL video standard, and Japan uses the NTSC standard.
A PAL TV can often display an NTSC signal. (More accurately, PAL TVs are often made to sort-of accomodate NTSC. Someone who knows more about PAL than I do (I'm American) can fill in details.) However, an NTSC TV can't do much of anything entertaining with a PAL signal.
There's probably not a lot of DVD overlap between these two markets.
There's a big difference between placing a book in a library and placing it on a required-reading list. All sorts of books, including religious texts, aught to be in a school library. Not all should be required reading.
If you don't like a book that's in the library, then don't read it.

No JarJar! Imagine the possibilities!
Not that they're immune from evolution, but I'd imagine that a species with a much lower mutation rate than normal is not going to change very often.

No, but people who can't see to the upkeep of their vehicles shouldn't complain to the owner of a toll road if their car breaks while on it.
An interesting idea. I should try that.

Of course, I'm not a lawyer. YMMV.
Look on Google.
According to http://www.fax.com/Services/mail.asp, "Fax.com is now offering bulk e-mail broadcasting services."

That was the poster's point.

a notice (with collection instructions) that I'm entitled to a $500 settlement. A few of these faxes a day, and I'd be quite happy.
This works well with a few megs of MP3s. This may get expensive with a few gigs of MP3s.
