Womb for rent _ _ _
Womb with a view _ _ _
Nonsmokers womb _ _ _
For one or two _ _ _
No pets allowed _ _ _
No alcohol _ _ _
No questions asked _ _ _
No southern drawl _ _ _
A private door _ _ _
Come as you are
Like father did _ _ _
In a glass bell jar _ _ _
Womb with a heart _ _ _
Waterfront home _ _ _
Old world charm _ _ _
For chromosomes _ _ _
Christian types _ _ _
Who bends the rules _ _ _
Don't quote the Pope _ _ _
About genepools
When the bough breaks _ _ _
The cradle will fall _ _ _
We'll get there quickly _ _ _
Checkbook and all
Womb for rent _ _ _
You bring the tube _ _ _
I've got this womb _ _ _
I'll never use _ _ _
A bargain price _ _ _
With wear and tear _ _ _
Out going type _ _ _
Some one to bear _ _ _
Land of plenty _ _ _
Fertile land _ _ _
Balloons are free _ _ _
At the kool aid stand _ _ _
A place to dream _ _ _
Of outer space _ _ _
To grow two arms _ _ _
Two legs, a face _ _ _
A faceless one _ _ _
A parent's joy _ _ _
A sexless girl _ _ _
A voiceless boy
I will be delivered _ _ _
I will be _ _ _
I will arrive and be counted alive _ _ _
I will be delivered _ _ _
I will overcome _ _ _
I will overcome this _ _ _
I will overcome what has been done _ _ _
I will be delivered
Womb for rent _ _ _
No kickers please _ _ _
No rock and roll _ _ _
Varieties _ _ _
No nausea _ _ _
No allergies _ _ _
No psychopath _ _ _
Enquiries _ _ _
A dream cottage _ _ _
A quaint escape _ _ _
A quiet street _ _ _
To contemplate _ _ _
A place to feel _ _ _
The ocean floor _ _ _
To ride the waves _ _ _
Onto the shore _ _ _
A parent's prize _ _ _
A human race _ _ _
With Daddy's eyes _ _ _
And a stranger's face
When the bough breaks _ _ _
Just give us a ring _ _ _
We will appear at _ _ _
Your christening
I will be delivered _ _ _
I will be _ _ _
I will arrive and look in your eyes _ _ _
I will be delivered _ _ _
I will overcome _ _ _
I will overcome this _ _ _
I will overcome what has been done _ _ _
I will be delivered
In a sterile room _ _ _
Just the two of you _ _ _
With a bare light bulb _ _ _
Father and Miss June _ _ _
Nailed against the wall _ _ _
In a pin-up pose _ _ _
Someone knocks at the door _ _ _
But you're indisposed
Womb for rent _ _ _
Womb with a view _ _ _
Non-smokers womb _ _ _
For one or two _ _ _
A place to dream _ _ _
Of outer space _ _ _
With Daddy's eyes _ _ _
And a stranger's face
- a band I like has 30 second samples on their site, and is selling the album online
- I purchase the album so now I have all the tracks on my HD. There's one song I think a friend would love
- for 25 cents I can purchase a token, which can be emailed to my friend
- friend uses token to download full track, just as if he had purchased it.
- friend purchases 2 more tracks which triggers a refund/credit to my account for the token
while it looks like a track has been given away, the 2 additional sales would not have been made if it hadn't. If I simply emailed the mp3 to my friend, I'd be in copyright violation, and there would be less publicity for the site
excellent point. this sort of thing is being done with stock photography, where different liscenses are automatically created and sold online. Doing this for music would be a boon to filmmakers/tv producers etc.
Pagestream is still active, and has a version for Linux, and also shipping Mac/PC/Amiga versions. This newest version looks like it has some features Quark doesn't have.
You treat technology as a magic "black box". Perhaps instead of "mechanical or electronic duplication" laws could be written as "artificial duplication". Or only allow duplication via organic sentients (which would discrimininate against HAL and possibly Borgs) IANAL which is why I asked the question
Current laws seem to be written to only deal with current technology, such as mechanical and electronic reproduction and distribution. Future technology may obsolete current laws, which will start yet another cycle of lawsuits and debates. For example, if genetically engineered parrots are taught stories that they can repeat, then they are sold, we would have a non-mechanical, non-electronic, for profit distribution of IP.
If current law doesn't cover that senario, should future laws be written to deal with unforseeable advances?
You've got insurance? Then let em burn, cause a computer safe fire surpression system will cost more than the computers. But the *DATA* is important to save. I'm guessing that since you're building a house, you've got a backyard. Why not build a seperate little shack for a server or two as an off site backup?
That X-15ish engineering may be Scaled's achellies heel. Remember that the well financed front-runner for the Orteig prize crashed the day before Lindberg took off.
I'm hopeing that both teams get their first launch within days of eachother, so that a media frenzy occurs before the winning launch.
>>It seems reasonable that if someone's work has been ripped off, they should be paid an amount equal to the usual fee rate for the actual usage, plus the costs of enforcement.
Actually, that's not reasonable. If the only penalty for infringement was that, then there would be NO incentive to not rip off images. A publisher could use dozens of images, and if he's only nailed for 2 or 3, he's still happy since he has still spent far less than if he paid the normal fee for all of them. Now, with the $150,000 per infringement punative damages, he has lots of incentive to be honest.
The Space Show focuses on timely and important issues influencing the development of outer-space commerce and space tourism, as well as other related subjects of interest to us all. {recent show with Brian Walker, the Rocket Guy}
Quirks & Quarks on CBC Radio One
Join host Bob McDonald each week to find out the latest in science, technology, medicine and the environment.
We cover the quirks of the expanding universe to the quarks within a single atom...and everything in between.
also, check out the websites of conference recording companies. That $300 seminar you missed at PC Expo is now probably a $10 tape or CD.
I just gave up rtfm.nu because of the price increases. While I'd have liked to support them, the cost of the domain plus instaweb was making netsol look reasonable:-(
Allowing this can cause actual human deaths. Many hospital computers are not HIPAA compliant, have fairly direct internet connections, and are used to download and store mp3's and videos. Of course the real purpose of these computers are for routing and analyzing patient information, including radiologic images. (xrays, ct, mri, etc). Given the "right" circumstances, destroying the computer would be homicide.
re point #2 "They're a huge, monsterous field of bird-shredders"
bullshit.
back it up with some proof.
fact is that ordinary office buildings kill far more birds than wind turbines. (NPR had a story about this which mentioned the Aquarium in Chicago as a major bird killer)
re: point #1 "in a highly-populated area"
huh? they are over FIVE MILES away from the nearest house. How is that "highly populated"?
re: point #3, these are PRIVATE resources. It's not our money, so whether it's a stupid dot com biz, a third summer home, or a wind farm, we have no right to complain about how money is spent. Besides, it will produce more power than not doing anything, and I've not seen any arguments that total energy cost of manufacture exceeds expected lifetime return.
re point #4, their website lists 7 different goverment agencies that have a say on the environmental impact. Just where did you "hear" about the problems?
And a special tax on Barnes and Noble, since the rise in obesity clearly corresponds to the growth of their chain.
And while we're at it, how about a red wine exemption from the state liquor tax, since the health benefits of moderate consumption have been long known.
On a similar note, how about teaching at a local senior citizens center? Guide them thru setting up and using Yahoo account, basic websurfing, and using the chat on senior sites.
Make a webpage for them with tutorials to remind them of the lessons, sites to visit, and the email adresses of the school board, newspapers, city concil members etc. so they can write about the wonderful computer club that should get more funding
Well, they did have the inventor of the alpha channel working for them. MS bought out his company Altimira, whose Composer product became the basis of MS's photo apps.
I think they didn't go after the pro market partly because they didn't want to, and mainly because the majority of the pro market is Mac based.
If you rip off my graphics.... then can I rip off your code? after all, it's the same thing, they're both just bits...
Why not hook up with an art student who would design the graphics in exchange for a screen credit? or contact schools, as a teacher could use your app as a class project.
>>Paul MacReady made human-powered flight work two decades ago. Nobody has done it since.
Ha anyone else WANTED to? Human powered flight is kinda impractical.
>>Williams designed almost all the really small jet aircraft engines - he did his first one in the 1950s, and he designed the engines for cruise missiles, and he's still designing them.
from the bits that I've come across, I think that a lot of his basic tech is still classified or isn't allowed for civilian use.
Use 8 bit, NOT 1 bit. When I switched from 1 to 8 bit on a page of normal text, the dozen or so errors vanished.
Since Omnipage is up to version 12, perhaps there's been an improvement since your version.
Your google skills are sorely lacking, the "Hacking Google" book would be a good investment for you. Eliminating the quotes and word "best" in your search string would help.

1) sell your copyright of the picture to someone in the UK
2) person sues for copyright violation
3) ?
4) profit?
