cc0 doesn't let you keep a copyright in countries in which the copyright can be dissolved, such as the US. Slander of title may apply even if the code has become PD, as long as the statement is false and harmful. In the case of Novell, it was false (the code was GPL, PD, or (c) Novell) and harmful (SCO was suing Novell's customers, or threatening to sue them). IANAL, this isn't legal advice, etc.
The usual reason for this is that most software licenses are designed to distinguish between source code and binary/object code. However, if you intend to put both in the public domain, I see no reason why you couldn't use cc0, hypothetically.
Which costs less? A couple of people working normal business hours for a couple of weeks to several months, creating a sane project and project plan or fifty people working overtime on an unrealistic, half assed plan over the course of eight to twelve months? Sadly, most management picks the latter rather than the former.
Hey now, let's not mix the federal and local taxes here. In the U.S., localities have right to collect sales tax on everything you sell (with some exceptions). That's the only way selling a book on Amazon or a knick-knack on eBay can be taxed!
If you sell something you own you typically generate no gains on it -- thus there's no income to be taxed. Thus nothing to report on your state or federal income tax forms.
IANAL, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
IANAL either, but: Congress has the right to regulate interstate commerce. The States (and, possibly, municipalities etc.) have the right to regulate intrastate commerce. The two don't mix. Hence, the states have no right to tax Amazon or eBay, but Amazon and eBay aren't going to go to court over it so they cooperate.
Website looks like shit, but they pay their artists 50 of gross income, or so they claim. They also have no DRM, and are doing something with CreativeCommons, although I suspect they haven't fully groked the implications of that.
The school intentionally invaded the pupils' privacy by, very deliberately, rigging up a remote camera activation programme and activating it. It doesn't matter one jot whether the school knew there was a law against this- only that they did it on purpose.
The only valid defense based on "intent" would be if they had not intended to put this intrusive software on these mandatory laptops, and had definitely not intended to activate it. As far as I'm aware, this is not their defense.
I bet the school officials would have raised qualified immunity as a defense.
There is no net neutrality anywhere, yet. So nothing could 'eliminate' net neutrality.
Currently, most ISPs generally practice NN on their own. The question is, will they continue to do so if Rupert Murdoch waves $100 bills in their faces and there's no regulations?

How exactly do you put something into public domain legally, such that you can legally protect them to be in public domain?
Really, serious question.
You keep using that word; I do not think it means what you think it means.

And that, my friend, is why all the FREE software I write is PD. Not GPL.
BSD may be a better idea since it has a waiver of responsibility if the code breaks, but IANAL.

FTFY, I think.
If a police officer has probable cause, he can do a number of things such as frisking you in the US. I think if I frisked a cop I'd be in trouble.
An elegant piece of code is rarely bulletproof. But otherwise I agree with you.

Theft by definition means depriving someone of something. Who has he deprived and of what?
Only if Murdoch is being paid by the federal government to shed said cells.
they pay their artists 50 of gross income,...
gah, meant 50%

YouTube supports WebM, stop whining.
This is why you sue the bastards if there are any problems.
In case that wasn't clear enough, you sue FB, not your friends.
It's more along the lines of "why take this guy with a record when we could have that guy without a record instead?"
Because I run Windows as user SYSTEM.
To people who have no Windows familiarity (i.e. all sane people *ducks*): SYSTEM is roughly the same thing as root.
Actually, MacOS uses the Mach microkernel in a BSD system; some code was taken from FreeBSD -- but not the kernel.
Really? I thought they used Darwin...?
Actually, the FCC finally figured out that CableCARD is a fail. They're working on a replacement.

Also, the developers are not beaten with enough frequency or severity.

Oblig.
I used to think regular water tasted like nothing, then I tasted distilled water. Think flour but liquid.

The fact that the word in question is in M-W suggests you're the one who's wrong. M-W isn't Wiktionary:it doesn't use consensus.

Yeah, that person should turn in their geek card; who hasn't used a smartphone continuously for an extended period of time?
