No they can't. With the DMCA out of the way for now, and disregarding patents, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act prohibits a manufacturer from conditioning a product's warranty on use of other products identified by trademark unless the manufacturer can prove that the off-brand product damaged the product under warranty.
Never mind. Research shows that I may not have an argument. It depends on what exactly was ruled on in United States v. Atkinson (513 F.2d 38, 39-40 (4th Cir.1975)). Google turns up a whole bunch of citations of that case but does not turn up the actual text of the opinion.
Did the aftermath of the War Between the States entirely eliminate the Tenth Amendment? If not, how is the right to ban a drug implied in Article I, Section 8 (Congress's enumerated powers)?
Make it so that software patents only hold if the source code is given in the patent application
Source code is given in every software patent application. The "description of the preferred embodiment" is written in a pseudocode language called Legalese, which attempts to provide an English language representation of an algorithm. It remains for patent lawyers and programming language designers to codify Legalese into something compilable.
I believe that they meant: certain parts of your registration information
I'm guessing that "certain of" a mass noun means "certain parts of" the mass noun, and an entry in Webster's supports it (although the entry claims that "certain of" is obsolete): "2. A certain number or quantity. [Obs.] --Chaucer." Your claim is only that "certain of" is restricted to count nouns.
I get a whopping three tv stations (and neither ABC nor the WB are amongst them).
Be glad that Disney and Time Warner haven't come to your town yet.
And before you say that sounds like a lot, remember that the only "extra" for most folks is the damn MP3 player.
Isn't the "stack of CDs" an extra as well for one who gets bored of the CDs he has? How are music consumers behind dial-up connections supposed to discover new recording artists?

Commercial radio playing popular music is not obsolete until the Internet Protocol reaches 50 percent of motor vehicles.
It's still not up to the point where IT departments are hiring programmers with shiny BS(CS) degrees in my hometown. (Family issues prevent me from moving from Fort Wayne, Indiana.) Stock prices may be up, but the economy won't be up until unemployment falls.
Where the comma goes in relationship to the closing quotation mark is a mechanics issue about which Eric Raymond seems to think differently. Punctuation goes outside of quotes in hackish style unless the punctuation is part of what is being quoted. Please study the example of the vi command in Raymond's explanation.
printf("Without exception? I can think of at least %d," n_exceptions); /* Like that one. Putting the comma before the closing quote mark breaks the code. */
On a larger scale, the responses to my comment raise another question: why did they all have everything to do with my incidental correction of usage (not mechanics) and nothing to do with the paragraph of actual content that followed? I tend to consider the idea most important, then usage, then mechanics, which is why I spent a whole paragraph on idea and as few as three words on usage.
Syrians are native to Iraq. I did not know that. You stupid [private part].
In fact, the dominant monotheistic religions (Christianity and Islam) teach that the human race began in the Garden of Eden. The Bible places Eden between the Tigris river and the Euphrates river, that is, in what is now Iraq.
>>Try looking at something other than Faux News. >I dont have cable
You don't need cable to go to foxnews.com. It works just fine over DSL or (I'm guessing) even dial-up.
>Ha ha, hardly an unbiased source
But if one looks at several sources with vastly different biases, one can often piece together an effect of how much a source's bias affects the reporting.
Then how is *n?x "a viable replacement for Windows" on the x86 hardware platform that entry-level desktop computer users can afford? Trust me, I'm trying to get rid of this "Micro Soft Window" spyware, but I'd rather not have to buy a new computer to do so.
If the GPL is invalid, then while SCO was redistributing Linux (and still continued to do so after bringing suit), the company was infringing copyright, because nothing other than the GPL gives SCO the privilege to do that. If SCO gets the GPL on Linux declared illegal, watch kernel contributors with deep pockets sue SCO for copyright infringement.
In some jurisdictions, bringing a frivolous lawsuit is the crime of barratry. Even in states without tough anti-barratry laws, "pump and dump" is still securities fraud.

If you want to argue about the constitutionality of the FDA, that's another story.
The constitutionality of Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act is exactly what I want to argue about.

You can have the algorithm. You can't have the key that Roxio uses with the algorithm to turn it into a valid card number.

It's common to find somewhat archaic-sounding language (in this case "certain" used as a pronoun) in legal documents.

There is a difference between inability to question, and unwillingness to question.
Unwillingness becomes inability if the rules are "if you question, you're fired and you have to go live on the streets."
Not if the salt is kept secret.

For how long?
Should WinMX add adware or spyware, I'll stop recommending it.
It's a bit harder to hide adware or spyware in a program published as free software. Gnucleus and eMule are published as free software.
The doctrines of estoppel and laches are more powerful with trademarks, but they still exist to a limited extent with copyrights and patents.
