You may make a new claim in your work if the changes are substantial and creative -- something more than just editorial changes or minor changes. This would qualify as a new derivative work. For instance, simply making spelling corrections throughout a work does not warrant a new registration -- adding an additional chapter would. See
Circular 14 (pdf) for further information.
their versions (I believed) even contained intentional, hopefully harmless typographical errors to prove up theft.
Only original works of authorship are subject to copyright, and introducing typos into a public domain work such as a federal court opinion does not create an original work of authorship according to this FAQ answer at the Copyright Office.
It's just as nice as tabs, but it seems I'm the only one who uses it.
Are you on Windows XP, or do you just run out of Windows 9x's limited "system resources" after about a dozen new windows? Mozilla with 10 tabs open takes fewer "system resources" than IE with 10 windows open.
I was totally flummoxed when I saw how everyone was raving about tabbed browsing
Tabs take up less of the Windows 9x system resource heap than individual windows do. Before browsers supported tab browsing, it wasn't practical to keep a load of tabs onscreen and use the Taskbar to switch them because you'd quickly run into the 64 KB limit of Windows 9x's user.exe heap. (Windows NT doesn't have such a limit.) You surely couldn't keep several browser windows onscreen, each with its own set of tabs.
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out is buggy on most of them as well.
How? Just one minute ago, I was able to TKO the first opponent using the open-source emulator FCE Ultra without a single glitch. Just make sure you don't have a bad dump.
Parent would have been funny but for the fact that the engineer doesn't recognize the dynamics of germs in restrooms. It's not the urine itself that transmits germs (unlike feces, urine is sterile) but rather the touching of the private parts and the touching of the flush lever.
The link you gave to Snopes.com states that the urban legend about railroad gauge being derived from that of ancient rutways "isn't exactly false in an overall sense and is perhaps more fairly labelled as 'True, but for trivial and unremarkable reasons.'" The humor here lies in 1. the dual meaning of the phrase "horse's ass", and 2. the fact that the punch line comes completely by surprise, after the reader has read through what doesn't immediately look like a joke.
So I guess that's why the U.S. Congress has been passing so many expansions of copyright (NET, Bono Act, DMCA, etc.) that instead of "promot[ing] the progress of science and useful arts" like the Constitution prescribes, impedes such progress.
So pay $x per month for their access-AOL-from-another-ISP service (yes it does exist).
The dangerous hypothetical case here deals with those ISPs who offer exclusive content but do not offer a reduced-price "bring your own access" plan like AOL does.
Granted, I think AOL sucks. I wouldn't use it. But no one (including anyone in Soviet Russia) is forced to use it.
What about Xbox Live users in areas where Time Warner Cable is the only cable company and the telephone company does not provide DSL service? In their case, the only residential-priced high-speed Internet access option is through a company owned by AOL.
But unless a new non-x86 architecture can run the latest PC games, and run them at full speed (i.e. not through Bochs), the public probably won't flock to it.

Doesn't Ashcroft work for the government somewhere?
Yes, and so does his counsel (Ted Olson).
Westlaw has a huge advantage over all other comers as they do not copyright the case law, but DO copyright the page numbers.
What's the precedent here? According to the Copyright Office, there have to be substantial creative changes made to an existing work in order for it to qualify for a new copyright.

(IANAL, but the thing has precedent: "Pro Bono" legal work.)
Which of the lead attorneys in Eldred v. Ashcroft worked "Pro Bono"?
Answer: Both of them.
Plaintiff's counsel worked for no pay (pro bono) against the CTEA (anti Bono), while defendant's counsel worked for pay for the CTEA (pro Bono).
Just block the goatse-server in your ad-block/firewall/whatever.
Sure, I can block the IP addresses of hick.org, goatse.cx, and stileproject.com, but can I block all the sites that have that same JPEG image?
shouldnt one check the url of the link before clicking it?
That's quite difficult if the link goes through a half-dozen redirect scripts before ending up at goatse.
I use Mozilla, and I just open links in a new tab and carry on reading
Try replying to a comment here on Slashdot and opening the "Preview" in a new tab.
No wait, you can't because Mozilla currently doesn't support opening the result of a form submission in a new window or tab (b.m.o bug 17754).

I thought we were in the context of Mario platform games that scrolled in 2D or 3D. And no I'm not talking about Donkey Kong '94 for Game Boy either.
IPv6 is great and it will allow those who DONT want to be behind NAT to get a "real" IP address
Unless the IPv6 ISP specifies in its contract that all residential users get a /128 (single address).

nobody else would think to run a toxic waste line through a major recreational area!
Urine is nowhere near as toxic as feces. Thus, the civil engineer has called his ass "a major recreational area". How gay.
To fix this bug, replace "toxic waste line" with "waste disposal line".
What's so funny about a one time pad?

When you can run WindowsXP on an XScale
Don't Pocket PC applications already look enough like Windows XP applications? And doesn't Pocket PC OS already run on XScale processors? (Or was this your point?)
I think what On Lawn wanted was a laptop computer that runs either RISC OS or Pocket PC OS or both.
As "embedded" CPUs like the ARM and XScale get faster, you may start to see them in more traditionally "desktop" applications.
Hasn't ARM architecture on the desktop already happened?
But unless a new non-x86 architecture can run the latest PC games, and run them at full speed (i.e. not through Bochs), the public probably won't flock to it.
Anyone know how can they say that a CPU chip will help wireless technology?
What about putting the CPU and NIC on one die, as Intel seems to plan to do in a future version of Centrino technology?
[Intel calls StrongARM processors] XScales now, and they are very popular in networking equipement and PDAs.
But when will we see an XScale processor based computer in a laptop form factor?
take already compiled code and recompile it to "do the right thing" with these 3 instructions?
That's called Plex86-accelerated Bochs.
