Copyright law means you have to have permission from the copyright owner before you can copy something. It's that simple.
GPL gives you permission to make copies and derivitives without having to ask or pay for them. With the condition being that you have to make your changes available according to the rules of the GPL.
Copyright law doesn't stop you or force you to release your code.
BTW, GPL relies on copyright laws. It can't be less restrictive. It just outlines one method where permission to copy has been given.
AOL does this all the time. Comcast was blacklisted by aol a while back,
That's nothing, AOL blocked RoadRunner (and vice-versa) not too long ago. If they're blacklisting parts of their own company, there's no hope for the rest of us.
My question is, does this book tackle the big problem of most MMORPGs, namely, that there's very little in the way of plotline?
The holy grail of persistent worlds is for the game designers to provide a launching point and then let the players develop the story line. The current generation of MMORPG is still a bit limited on the 'persistent' part of the equation. The players need more control over thier environment.
Next generation exploits too

In contrast, EFI is written in C...
Because C programmers are so good at bounds checking.
You would think Linux users would have more faith in their own abilities. Obviously, they either don't trust their abilities or capitalism. Lots of people work on result based rewards. They're called Entrepreneurs. And I hear personal injury lawyers earn quite a bit of money with their 'we don't make a dime unless you win' strategy.
Personally, I think it sounds like an interesting project. Unfortunately, it's not my kind of programming and I'm already overbooked....
Get real. The last thing a politician would want to do is spam people who put their name on the list, whether you have any recourse or not. People don't tend to vote for politicians that piss them off.
Magnets will still scratch the paint when removed if there are any dust particles under it. How about you just leave other people's property alone and stop trying to force your morals on them. They might be more inclined to listen to your message if you don't piss them off at the start.
That's a fine theory, until you realize that every one who purchased Turbopower tools got the source anyway.
We only purchase components that include source, for instance; Report Printer Pro from Nevrona. So now we save a couple hundred $$ and get code that is possibly unmaintained. Maybe it's a win for us, I'd like to look at OfficePartner but can't justify a purchase just to experiment. Then again, maybe it's a big loss because there are fewer people out there creating good Delphi components.
You missed the best part of HPFS. It didn't use a freaking FILE EXTENSION to determine what kind of file it was. Microsoft still hasn't figured that one out.
Throw in a few Extended Attributes (EA) and you had the file type (regardless of the name), you could thumbnail images (JPG, GIF), or you could write comments on what the file was or where it came from.
Look back at the post; the RFIDs are for their pallets and cases. From that, it appears that what Gillette is doing is addressing the problem of 'shrinkage' while the products are sitting in warehouses.
Actually, it's much easier to handle 'shrinkage' through physical security. RFIDs are better suited to counting/locating inventory. If you can scan a pallet location and immediately know what it contains, physical inventory and cycle counting become trivial tasks.
Here is a better idea that should be posted in a 72 point font. Let the community decide... There is no problem if the patrons of a local library choose to install filters. But there shouldn't be a federal requirement for them to do so. With local control, if our library chooses not to allow access to sites that we feel should be available (or vice-versa), my neighbors and I can work locally to remedy the problem. If it's federally mandated, our communities standards mean nothing because we have no control over OUR library.
Too many people here seem to think that having no federally mandated filtering means no filtering at all. Instead, it means that we choose what is acceptable, not some bureaucrat in Washington or the company they have arbitrarily chosen.
Many people also sign up because it's the only way to find out where the meetup is. I wouldn't be surprised if that is also why you get a lot of fake e-mail addresses.
And maybe you should only list the people who RSVP'd.
