    Well, no. You can reuse teh software as you see fit, sort of. BSD licensing is much superior in this aspect.

    Well, yes. It only grants rights. It might not grant as many as BSD does, but it takes away no right granted by the copyright laws of the Berne convention.

    Do a search on Ebay for I-Openers.

    They can be hacked with linux and have a 800x600 LCD display. They go for about $100-150 pre hacked. Modify it with barebone linux. (I got one to run DOS in the 16 MB Flash!)

    The way a one time pad works means that if used correctly it is just as likely that a five meg message is the complete works of Shakespear as it is to be missle plans. Basically, it is like a furnace: you can hear whatever you want to hear because every sound is there.

    Yeah, the Lego company cheats.

    Most of the things you'll find on Brickshelf however, are built without glue. And there are some impressive things, too. Search for "bridge," for example.

    Not true! The Lego structures at Legoland are held together with glue, but that's because they are outdoors. Southern California Lego Train Club builds with no glue! See This picture for an example.

    Some "in construction" pictures available at my website. (Scroll to the bottom).

    Funny thing is, for Duplo you'd need glue. It doesn't stick together as hard as Lego does.

    Any business that is big enough to offer direct deposit but to small to do it themselves will outsource it. ADP is common if all they want is payroll. My company uses another company to do it for them, so I don't see ADP on mine. But when I was a busser, the check came from ADP.

  25. Re:Why do i get the feeling.... on SCO Ordered to Produce Evidence · · Score: 1

    You have the right in the US to trial by jury in a criminal case, but you can waive that right. For example, if you get a traffic ticket, it is your right to a trial by your peers (the US Constitution says so), but you can waive that right and try to explain it directly to a judge.

    In civil cases and during the early stages of criminal cases, the judge alone can make decisions about motions, etc. That's what has happened in this case. If the thing finally goes to a real court trial, then there will be a jury. (I think.)
