Considering the photographer had no right to state that the image could be used in such a manner in the first place, the Licensee is not at fault.
It would be as if I took the Linux kernel source, put it on a website and said it was BSD licensed. If a company then took the source and used it with the terms set by the BSD license, they should not be ultimately culpable, since I had no right to state what terms the source could be used.
The photographer was wrong to use a license that allowed commercial usage of a photo he had no right to state could be used commercially.
It's more along the lines of someone making a spice rack and someone making a spear.
They're both using wood, they may even be using the same tools to do so, but you'd only call one of them a carpenter. The outcome and intents are entirely different. Therefore you refer to the person doing the act differently.
Uh I believe you're talking about Frank Murkowski, yeah, that other crazy old guy.
Alaska would be hosed financially without Stevens. we don't have the population to have a meaningful sales tax or income tax. He might make some dipshit calls, but Alaskans have been having to choose the worst of two evils. Crumbling infrastructure? Or our senator making us look dumb talking about tubes. Not a great choice, but we have to make it./lifelong Alaskan
Myself, I consider it a waste of money to spend over $40,000 a year so these wastes of space can watch cable TV and eat better than I do.
I don't see the death penalty as barbaric, in some cases it is more humane than being stuck in a cage for the rest of your life, I know which one I'd pick. For some, its better than they deserve. They know the consequences before they act, we didn't strap them into the chair, they sat down and made themselves comfortable themself.
So really, everybody wins with the death penalty. Cue the happy music.
Indeed, though I have no doubt that you were speaking of the situation at hand, which could of course be the case. I just get heated fairly easily, which is I'm sure how you made your post as well.
At the risk of dragging the discussion off topic (well, not really, I AM going off topic.) I take offense to the repeated mentioning of people joining the guard getting it easy.
Joining the guard is NOT an 'easy way out.' The guard sees quite a bit of wartime action and does not get to just stay home keep the active duty's seats warm, no matter how much the Bush haters will have you believe. Being able to join a service and weasel your way out of heading overseas is a sign of knowing people in high places, not being in the guard.
I joined the guard knowing full well I would most likely be sent to war at some point. Being able to be pulled out of your normal civilian life and thrown into a war zone at nearly a moment's notice is not what i'd call lack of backbone. And I'm sure those who are serving extended tours over in Iraq right now would be glad to hear that they have no backbone, also./Tired of being insulted by holier than thou types who probably would move to canada if someone mentioned military service along with their name in the same sentence.
Obviously you dont know how an internal combustion engine works. My near-stock 4ton 2500HD with a Vortec 350 kicks the hell out of the riced out civics who think they're straight out of the fast an d the furious. People who talk about the upfront cost of a civic compared to american muscle aren't looking at the whole picture. By the time you get those civics close to a ram-air firechicken or a Corvette in terms of top end speed, you're spending thousands more than you would to get the car you're trying to beat. Throw that same amount of money into that firebird or corvette, and you got yourself a monster.
Cars are all about the power to weight ratio, civis may be light, but that 1.8L leaf blower isnt going to cut it with the big boys. Those engines make their horsepower by being able to run at extremely high rpms, while the longer stroke and larger bore of the larger engines require less rpm, and give you much more torque. Its all a trade off, its impressive that some people get those 4cyl to 1000+ horsepower, but its surely not the economical way to get that much horsepower.
And just remember, even in the fast and the furious, that Supra needed to use nitrous to catch up to the good old american muscle. Plus american muscle cars just look meaner...
And I thought i was the only one. I thought the plot was mediocre at best, and the acting kept me from really entering the universe, the Ents in The Two Towers were less wooden (ha!) Some of hte underlying concpts are intruiging, but the story itself I thought was stale, certainly not worth the enormous hype it has recieved, in my eyes. The special effects in The Matrix are spectacular, but from what i've seen in the previews, it seems to be just more of the same in the upcoming movie. I hope to be proven wrong.
Any SMP capable operating system supports HT. On the other hand license issues make combining true SMP and HT a pain on non server version of Windows.
You're totally missing that part of the beauty of HT is the transparency.
On the other hand you can write things SPECIFICALLY for HT to deal with things such as cache issues, but saying that windows doesn't support it at all is rather misleading and makes it seem like people wouldn't see any improvements at all.
OSX isnt a money maker, apple knows this. While OSX on x86 might be good for people running an Intel cpu, it would be bad for apple as it would take away from the people willing to shell out cash for the apple hardware to get that operating system.
Apple is smart, the same reason Solaris for x86 isnt quite as useful as Solaris, Sun knows where the money is.
More than lobbying, the EFF has very important uses. Look at most of the cases that have come before the courts that are fighting things such as the DMCA. The EFF stands up for defendants that are being prosecuted by for things that go against the beliefs of the nation as a whole.
In a perfect world, the lobbying of the EFF and every single lawsuit would be won and make the Legislators take note. But in the world we live in, every small victory is something we should take note of, and THAT is why you should donate to the EFF. You don't need to turn the world upside down to claim a victory....Baby steps, baby steps
From what I'm hearing, thinks aren't going to be any better in Europe. There are few safe havens anymore, with the EU and the US going back and forth with who can stifle creative freedom and innovation more and with the US testing the waters of how far the arm of their law can reach across international borders.
No, things are looking grim until the balance of power and thought shifts dramatically to the point where the United States is pressuring countries to listen to the citizens instead of the corporates instead of the other way around.
I'm not sure if you were just mentioning the car you liked, but I was referring to the Shelby GT 500 mustang in Gone in 60 Seconds compared to most of the cars in fast and the furious.
Although the charger in FatF got me wriggling in my seat too:P
The great thing for those with cars that are actually more than some goofy idea of 'cool', is that they're usually ruining their power by adding those large mufflers and huge exhaust that gives it that annoying sound.
Exhaust is a funny thing. On one side: think of your engine as a huge air pump. The more air you push in and shoot out, the more power you'll have. (Very over simplified). But on the other hand, if you aren't getting much air into your intake, but you have huge exhaust (which is usually the case with civics) you actually will lose performance. This is because you NEED some back pressure.
Good examples of doing exhaust wrong:
4" Exhaust on otherwise pretty unmodded civics
1" Exhaust on RV's
Good example of doing exhaust right:
96-up GM trucks (they are true dual exhaust through 2 catalytic converters and then to one muffler, and out as one large pipe).
Just keep in mind most of the 'rice cars' are made to look and sound cool, but really don't perform any better than your average high schooler's hand me down car. It's very easy to tell the difference between wasted exhaust and performance exhaust, you can just hear more air being pushed through the pipe, it loses alot of its raspy sound and gets a little more rumble into it since the pipe is a little more filled./ramble
Personally I'm one of the people who got a bit more excited watching that mustang rip up the streets in Gone in 60 Seconds than the little rice rockets of Fast and the Furious.
Even if you want to talk newer cars instead of the classic hot rods, I don't see how people can even begin to compare a nice gen4 Ram-Air Firebird and an Impreza. One look and you can almost hear them say "I'm ready to eat you" and the other says "I'm ready to drive my family to the market and buy cereal."
Not to say I have no love for all kinds of racing, I just hate people bragging about their ugly looking and worse sounding civics.
Give me a 67 GTO or a 67 F-Body with 2.5" dual exhaust and a Chevy 400SB anyday, that rumble gets my hair standing up on my neck. The whining of a 1.8L 4 banger makes me want to run them over with my truck.
Just because it contains something subtle does not mean that it can undermine the obvious details of it.
In order for the document to be relevant as long as it has, it must contain some purposely vague language as to remain flexible and require interpretation as time goes on. What does not change is the situations that the document was designed to avoid. This is why some things are purposely obvious, looking too deep causes these issues to arise that is being argued now.

It was usually either Combat or Tank Battle, I have it for my 2600 as both.
my 2600 would still work if i had any skill with a soldering iron. The power socket came detached from the board.
