For instance, the CNN article compares the portrayal of Paul to "Luke Skywalker with a mind," which kind of bothers me; why is it necessary to compare Dune with Star Wars?
I'm hoping it's a limitation of the reviewer, rather than the show.
Creating dynamic webpages by invoking a script: This seems to cover any webserver that processes HTML forms and invokes a program via a common gateway interface, such that this program returns a webpage.
Think about it, you're a third party S/W vendor, and you WANT your code to be blessed by MS, right? Who's going to sue the benevolent giant for making sure their apps are going to work?
But if they don't 'bless' your code (or even if they do), simply by testing it they have used an illegal copy of it... ___
I've seen one of those, on Reading Rainbow many years back, I think. It looked like one of those synthesizers for an electronic musician (anyone seen Christopher Franke's portrait on the first Babylon 5 CD?). Hopefully there have been advances in Asian keyboard technology since then. ___
Cuba doesn't have the right to trade with the US if the US doesn't want to. Likewise, any other country has to make the choice between the US and Cuba, and if (as is likely) they choose the US then Cuba has no right to trade with them. Unfair? Only because the US is doing better than Cuba. And unfair or not, no rights are being trampled. ___
Not to mention trampling over the rights of any other nation to trade freely with whom they wish.
That right does not exist. Nations have the right to trade with whatever nations are willing to trade with them. The US is not willing to trade with those who trade with Cuba.
I don't think the Cuba sanctions are useful or effective, but they don't trample the rights of any nations. ___
DVD-CSS fails to permit access because of obsoleteness
DVD-CSS fails to prevent access because of obsoleteness. I would, however, think that the faild DIVX system would count as something that fails to permit access due to obsoleteness. ___
When censorship rears its ugly head, context is rarely taken into consideration until the court case. So, if the line had been drawn where you seem to want it, you could be arrested for two counts of bad speech in your above post. Hopefully, you would be aquitted, but the ideal would be that it wouldn't occur to anyone to arrest you in the first place. ___
The SDMI invites "hackers" to defeat the watermarks on some samples of digital music. Many hackers do so, and hoping to win some of the $10,000
sign away their souls^H^H^H^H^H rights to the de-watermarking techniques they created.
Maybe they will patent the de-watermarking techniques, so anyone who does the same thing will be breaking yet another law. That way, they don't even need to change the watermarking method. ___

Can someone sue MS for having lots of copies of unlicensed software then?
___
NO! We don't want to be teaching cyborg monkeys how to kill humans! Talk about irresponsible research...

We should implement telephone voting so campaign workers can't come within 100 feet of a telephone. :)

Why do you limit this to non-Americans? I've been saying this for at least a week.

Especially if they try to claim that they do have a staff member verify all blocked pages, as is mentioned in the linked story.
I wouldn't try to start a perpetual motion engine manufacturing corporation unless I was a master scam artist.
