Some things are obvious early on. For example, the movie "Battlefield Earth" was released in May of 2000, and critics quickly concluded that it was not too early to declare it the worst movie of the century.
So did the Kolodzeij kid actually kill four people? If he didn't, he hasn't proven anything. He needs to go back and do it again if he wants the million bucks.
Back here on earth, more people are listening to radio than ever before. At least in the UK if not on earth, but that article is consistent with others I've seen looking at the US as well.
Copyright law is trying to ensure control - and therefore income from - the production of things that are easily mechanically copied but require human effort to produce
Can you show me where that is the case? Let me help you -- it's not;) Again, at least in terms of US copyright law, there is no copyright protection even if you build a whole new car from scratch that is an exact replica of the original. Copyright law is about providing an incentive to create, not to reward hard work. And yeah I agree with your overall assumption that copyright law ought to be liberalized dramatically in either case.
Making a high resolution reproduction of a work of art requires special equipment and skills, so I really think it's fair enough if that's copyright - somebody has invested money, skills and effort in making the reproduction be as good as possible.
It takes a lot of special equipment and skills to take apart a 1957 Chevy completely, and then put it back together. Somebody has invested money, skills, and effort into putting it back together as completely as possible. Is the resulting work copyrightable? Of course not. Copyright law rewards creative works, not "hard work" or investment of time and labor.

If you're smart and your algorithms are rock solid, you can do well (I don't have to work if I don't want to).
Then why do they call you "TooMuchToDo"?
That "whooshing" sound you hear overhead is not the sound of another solar eclipse.

There is an easy place to get all of the declutter stuff you need. It's called Home Depot.
I agree; my house is cluttered with items I got at Home Depot!
I'm glad slashdot is keeping us up to date on milestones like this. I look forward to the slashdot article about build 7600.16387 as well!
There are other things to spend money on besides weapons.
Yeah - like Lasers!!!
I assumed they were Medieval UK was a music label myself and assumed they had put their battle records online.
yeah it is pretty cool but it's not worth carrying an umbrella all the time.
They're actually here to do two things -- kick ass and have tea and biscuits. As it happens, however, they're all out of tea and biscuits.
But who knows how large the earthquakes were. Any structure could probably survive a good amount of tiny-ish earthquakes.
This is easily fixed; just edit the Wikipedia entry to indicate that they were all 6.0 magnitude plus.
Wood is inflammable!
For travel, I have an external, sometimes two, depending if how screwed up the country I'm going to is.
So you probably bring at least 3 when you come here to the US.
They have Nazis in England too? And why would they care about vocabulary anyway, I thought they just were into killing Jews and immigrants.
$3.6 million? If each song is worth like $150k, what is that, like 25 songs? Just send the RIAA a coupon for a free download of Thriller and The Wall.

Radio? Who needs it!

When dealing with NASA, there are no "coincidences."
whip her? snap her? I hardly know her!
It will come with an installed copy of Duke Nukem Forever. And a pony.
That would be anything but random. You need white noise.
...and a sense of humor.
looks like I have to come up with a random noise generator to hook up to the ground of my power outlets.
Too much work. Just do what I do -- don't ever type anything worth reading.

What's next, a special edition shipped with elephant poop? Knowing Apple and knowing consumers, that will just make it sell better... *sigh*
Did you mean "smell better"?

Huh? Did England secede?
