    Will the MPAA try to kill this technology. This would be a techology that could be used to send images from a movie or even an entire movie over the internet. This technology must certainly violate the DMCA. In fact most technology violates the DMCA. Beware the MPAA is doing time travel experiments. They are going to send the DMCA back in time to stop digital images, then before that the VCR then before that photocopies, bethen photography, bethen paintings, bethen pigments, bethen scratches on rocks, bethen rocks, bethen matter.

    The DMCA and the evil machinations of the MPAA must be stopped before they destroy all creation.

    We must destroy the MPAA so that there is a future in which images can be communicated freely.

    So what about Yahoo! and all the other search engines? Don't they use similar technology?

    If Ebay doesn't want external searches or links then all search engines and linkers should unanimously agree to obey. Then search and link to Ebay's competitors.

    Then place some bets on the rate of fall of Ebay's stock price

  14. Re:Fighting the MPAA on Interview with DeCSS Lawyer · · Score: 2

    Posting this late nobody will notice this but I'll ask anyway.

    Will the post office in the U.S. actually deliver this, also, what are their limits? I'm in Canada so if I were to send a less than fresh trout it probably wouldn't make it through customs. However, if the post office will actualy send stuff attached to a postage paid envelope then this could be an effective and very entertaining protest method.

    Step one in lying with statistics is to choose your sample carefully.

    I was at this site looking at a statistic and figured another statistic might be humorous. My inspiration was a story on theregister that offered the same proof of the popularity of linux.

    However, unfortunately, due to the fact that devices of this nature could conceivably store illegal copyrighted materials, the DMCA precludes this technology being made available in the US.

  22. Re:Space shuttle w/ ads on NASA To Deal With Disney For Commercial Use Of ISS · · Score: 1

    For the first space shuttle launch the external fuel tank was painted white. In all subsequent launches it has been a natural rust colour because the weight of the paint added to the cost of the launch. By how much? (I don't know.) If the weight of all the advertising would not hamper the shuttle's performance significantly then this could noticably offset NASA's launch costs. Especially if some (presumably Disney owned channel) brodcasted every launch on TV and the internet.

    For a night launch you wouldn't have to add to the weight of the shuttle. You could project a company logo or two onto the white exhaust cloud.

    The main drawback to Disney is their wholesome family attitude.
