"Warning: All rights reserved. Unauthorized duplication is a violation of applicable laws."
You are referring to US laws. I am in Canada. I have the right to make an authorized copy for my own purposes. I have the right to sign out a CD from my local library, and make a copy for my own use.
Being in Canada gives me certain legal right that are not available to my US cousins. Under fair use rights, you too have the ability to make a backup for your own use. I still cannot make a copy of a CD and sell it. That is one form of 'unauthorized duplication'.
P.S.: Assuming I bought any CD in the last 10 years, I wouldn't read those disclosures as no one has proven to me they are legally binding.
No, Challenger was operating outside it's minimum reccommended ambient air temperature when launched. This caused the "O" ring failure and the large *kaboom* afterward.
a trend that shows computer users are not only downloading songs, but copying and burning CDs.
Statistics can show anything you want them to. I use 50-60 blank CD's a month, and have yet to copy a CD. And I still get to pay that wonderful Canadian CD levy.
I download . . . TV shows. Specifically Stargate, since I'm a fan, and up till season 5 was broadcast locally in my area. I can no longer get it, but I keep up by downloading it, throwing it on a VCD and sharing it with friends who are also fans. What really ticks me? Stargate is produced in Canada, but the copies I download are sometimes from the UK. Why can't I get a show produced in this country. ..IN THIS COUNTRY?? It wobbles the mind.
Isn't this exactly what Lotus Notes does with mobile users and its databases?
Exactally. The server public keys are part of the User ID, along with an expiry date and the users keys. The server address book along with public keys are on the server. The user gets a local copy of the address book and keys if they wish, otherwise the keys can be compared when next they are on-line.
yet bows to the record company execs by submitting to the autotuner.
Well, that explains Allanna Myles' last 'studio' album. I thought I was going to slash my wrists after hearing one track off the last album she put out. I stopped listening to the radio that day.
Doesn't matter if it's mud obstructing it visually or a polarizer obstructing it optically. If the camera can't see the plate, it is obstructed. It's the fucking law. Get with the fucking program.
There are license plate covers (at least here in the states) you can buy.
Yes, you can buy those in Canada too. And they are just as illegal. It's obstructing the plate or making it otherwise unreadable. You can also get a ticket for having your plate being too dirty.
Why bother putting a plate on the vehicle if no one can read it, Mr Anderson?
And this is different from every other capitalist country how, exactly?...The US just has the biggest stick at the moment
Exactally. They have the biggest stick, and are prepared to use it. They'll put import tarrifs on anything they see as a threat to domestic products, but don't you dare put tariffs on our stuff...even to countries with which they have a free trade agreement. Countires with whom the US is the largest trading partner and have no other cheap market for goods.
A few hundred years? I don't think it'll take longer than a decade for people to realize the US doesn't play nice with other.
EVERYONE was wondering if there was a terrorist link, including you.
No, I wasn't. I heard about this first here. My first thought was W32/Blaster. And I would have laughed...
I don't think terrorists are organised enough yet to pull something like this off. Just like SARS, West Nile, Mad Cow; I think terrorism is way over hyped. I think we need to be aware of them and deal with them, but drunk driving, not wearing seatblets and undercooked meat kill far more people, and are often overlooked.
If they said "There is no evidence of Terrorist attack" that would have caused panic, because everyone is just on egde from too many "Yellow/Orange" alerts. And they know it.
Perhaps they could have worded it "It appears to be an unplanned outage..." but they had to use the "T" word for dramatic effect.
but it does allow sneak and peek warrants for secret searches..
Wait till they meet my 150lb Rottie. They'll still be there when I get back. Well, parts of them will be.

Not correct. You can give him a copy. You cannot sell him a copy.

No power requirements and need to connect to the Internet. Very handy feature.
Yes, you can buy those in Canada too. And they are just as illegal. It's obstructing the plate or making it otherwise unreadable. You can also get a ticket for having your plate being too dirty.

and pray we don't get fooled again..
Is that part of the Chewbacca defense?

That's the problem. They let the magic smoke out.
You forgot the "or else...I'll be having some editors for dinner..."
