If US law is so clear (that copies of public domain works are themselves public domain), then can anyone explain to me why Getty Images charges me full whack for pictures of works of art from days gone by; and gives me chapter and verse about what I can do with the images?
Anyone care to try posting some images from Getty on Wiki....?
How is this different from, or better than, phones that automatically connect to wireless networks and use them for calls?
My Orange Nokia 6301 supposedly does this in the UK.
Brilliant idea. Yeah, because kids are well-known to have trouble embracing new technology. Most of them can't even use FaceBook and have to get their grandparents to do it for them.
What next? Skipping rope lessons? Running and screaming lessons? Dipping a ball in dogshit and throwing to someone lessons?
Those who do not learn from History are condemned to repeat its mistakes. But of course, they won't know that.
Well, IANAA, but they knew there would be "stuff", given the location. Certainly, some prior analysis was done. But when I saw the crates in December, they were still excited about what they might find. They didn't say "we're looking forward to digging out the dire-wolves in crate 12".
Various bones are often tightly packed together with bones from other creatures and other matter, so until you actually remove the matrix and separate the bones, you don't know what you've got. But obviously, when part of a mammoth skull starts to be revealed, then you'll spot it immediately.
If a scientific paper was published, would you say "Old news. They've been working on it for years!"?
They moved the earth out of the building site two years ago. It's taken them two years to go through enough of it to make a worthwhile announcement.
There's still loads of it left that they haven't got round to yet.
Tsk. Kids today, they want their archaeologic research done at broadband speeds.
I was shown around the crates late last year. They are not fossils - they are bones that have been preserved by the tar. They have not undergone transformation in sedimentary rock.
I also gave the tar a good poking with a stick. It's easy to see how large four-legged animals would get stuck in it.
The museum also has a huge collection of sabre-tooth tigers - who thought all the stuck prey would be an easy catch....
God bless you, Sir. You are responsible for the amount of time I spent with that fabulous machine.
I had the Acorn GXR (advanced Graphics) ROM, AMX Mouse, ADFS, and God knows what else.
I then wrote a little GUI that would list the contents of a disk when you clicked on an icon..... in 6K.
Unless I'm much mistaken, he plays a "Doctor-like" character in an advert for Virgin Atlantic, where he meets the Wright brothers and tells them they'll need a bigger plane.

There. Fixed that for you.

The 3G network "3" also claims to use Skype automatically to reduce call costs.
Think of the energy saving, if you just said "use". Particularly if you utilize that word a lot.

Meh.
As in Moonraker, we send the sexy geniuses first, right? Or do we send the Telephone Sanitizers and hairdressers, like in HHGG?
Interestingly, the article says you can regain full access from your phone on request by contacting BT.
Don't they remodulate the shield frequency (or reconfigure the emitter array), and that keeps the bubble stable just long enough?
I guess we think more highly of Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. in the states.
In the UK, we think so highly of Dr. King that it is clearly absurd and comic to suggest that his speeches are full of waffle and bluster.
It's almost as if the writer of the article doesn't expect to be taken seriously.
Damn. If only they'd taught me that at school.
