As an aside, the particular effect was one of the key 'reason for being' points of the movie Frequency.
You can go click the link for a summary of the movie. Fairly decent flick, got too wrapped up in funny timetravellish things, and how the radios magically did not need the TX buttons pushed anymore was particually annoying.
Now for Bob or Alice to release any information may still be a breach, but Carl can do whatever he wants.
No, Carl can't do 'whatever he wants'. Every creation put into existance is protected by copyright, according to the Berne Convention. If the information Carl obtained is plastered with copyright notices, then Carl cannot reasonably claim that he did not know about the document being copyright, and Alice can sue Carl for compensatory damanges. Carl could use the information he obtained, and redistribute that information in a different form, as long as it was 'sufficiently different' according to copyright law.
If the document did not contain copyright information, then Alice could still get a court order to stop Carl distributing the information, but could not sue for compensatory damages as Carl had no reasonable way of ascerting copyright information for the document. Additionally, Alice would still have to prove that she is the copyright holder, which is difficult to do if the document was confidential to begin with.

If you make default.ida a php based file, why wouldn't a redirect server side work?
Because then it's the server getting the page, not the browser. If you're after ad revenue, then the ad company is sure going to check where that traffic is coming from.
You can use the time between each 'hit' to determine the length of the implied pulse, for all but the last pulse of the letter.
However, most of the time, another letter follows each letter, so if you allow for a slightly longer pause, then you can usually guess what the duration of the last pulse was. Even if you can't, you can make an educated guess. For example:
If you hear: hit---hithithit, that could either be a B (dah-dit-dit-dit), or a X (dah-dit-dit-dah). IF the next letter you hear is (hithit---hithit), that could only be an L. An X is very unlikely to precede an L, so you assume its a B.
Yes, its much tricker than standard morse code, but if you're in a jail cell with nothing else to do....;)
Ah, so instead of programming with a well designed language, well designed libraries, and a community bent on producing a top quality, readable, naturally extensible language, I get to program with.... culture!

A program on A&E called 'City Confidential' documented the rise and fall of the Mitchell Brothers pornography empire. One of the Mitchells ended up killing the other and, during the trial, the prosecution used a very crude, but effective at the time, 'walk through' demonstration of the crime scene, detailing things like where everyone was standing, the trajectory of the bullets, etc.
My information that commission work automatically becomes 'work for hire' did not come directly from the 'Copyright law definition' above, but second hand from a copyright lawyers. It appears that there is so much case law in favour of the publishers (or those commissioning work) that the 'work for hire' clause in the 'Copyright law definition' is next to useless.
At this point. I just give up. If one can't read legislature to determine what is and isn't allowed on this planet, and instead have to read through the lengthy annals of overpaid, pompous arrogants, then what's the point?:)
It really depends on the context. If a publisher has explicitely paid for a writer to write a particular document, then that is considered "Work for Hire", and the publisher retains all rights on that work. Ie, they can do what they want with it, and the original author can do nothing.
If the author wants to restrict what the publisher can do with the works, then that needs to be written into the contract. If there's no contract, then the "Work for Hire" rule becomes the default.
Really, there's nothing evil or subversive about this. Standard practise. Authors (and other artists) just need to know the rules:)
1. The Japanese have had carbonated milk drinks for some time. (And my, do they taste strange or what).
2. Carbonation creates carbolic acid. Mixed with a alkaline (which is what milk generally is), is going to create some very weird effects.
3. Saying that milk is outright 'good for you' is just plain irresponsible. Milk contains fat, cholesterol, and lactose, all of which are bad for you in sufficient enough quantities. (But see note below)
4. They're adding 'crystalline fructose', which is just another way of saying 'sugar' without saying 'Sugar'. Fructose is a simpler carbohydrate than sucrose (which is a fructose/glucose pair), and therefore even more easily absorbed by the digestive system, and turned into fat. We should be aiming for more comples carbohydrates, not simpler.
However:
1. It still sounds like a better drink than the soda-pop crap. But, if you want refreshment, drink water. We all need to drink more water. (Apols to those in Dallas, your water sucks, you might as well drink petrol:)
Not necessarily true. v42 (LAP/M) (the error correcting part of most modem transmissions), is patented by a UK firm.
Although, it doesn't stop it sucking badly when a patented process is transformed into a standard. Its a license to print money, or, more exactly, a license to EXTHORT money.
Not quite... engineering notebooks, if properly numbered and dated, are valid evidence for proving 'prior art', even if the information in those notebooks aren't published.
Yes, its a tough one to push through a court, but it has been done.
The version of bind that is being exploited is exploitable on all systems, not just Linux.
The problem lies in the very fact that linux is becomming more and more popular. A few years ago, it wasn't worth the effort to write a virus for linux because there just weren't that many linux systems out there, and they all varied enourmously in their file system structure.
Nowadays, there are lots of installations, and their structure is similiar enough that some malicious dude can write a bunch of scripts, and have a good chance of successfully cracking root, getting into the system and causing it to subsequently crack other systems.
That person could easily do the same thing for Solaris, or HPUX, or Irix, but that creates extra time. The exact nature of the exploit, as well as what is required to convinve the system to propogate the virus, changes with each OS. Given the much less number of these systems out there, it simply isnt worth the effort.
Linux is making itself a target simply by becomming popular, in the same way that Windows is currently the prime target.
The story is bringing attention to the fact that news services like ZDNet allow non-stories up onto their web page. I think it was right to put this on slashdot, although I'm surprised the slashdot editors didnt put some derisive remark about the announcement.
This way, we all know that there's FUD out there. When our pointy-haired managers come up to us and say 'Did you see this article? How much should we spend on our firewall??', we instantly know if we want to dismiss the fud, or use the money for our new Quake server.
My graphics card is a voodoo banshee. Sure, I certainly agree that my attempts were around a year ago, and things may have improved markedly since then.
Every year or so, I get sick of windows and install linux on my desktop again... with the release of KDE 2.1, I'm about ready to give things another try.
If there was the glut of fast, fun, games for Linux as there was for windows, I'd drop windows completely.
I run '98 (A legit copy, even, Gah!), and run xwin32. Almost all my computer work is through xwin32. (its a pretty damn neat setup, actually). I only keep Windows around to play games, and to occasionally run photoshop (I need to write photoshop tutorials as well as GIMP, so don't hassle me on that one.)
Unforunately, all my forays into Linux gaming have shown that the Linux version of the game is slow, klunky, and occasionally buggier than the windows version. I've purchased two LInux games so far, and I wont again for a little time until that particular market stabailises, and decent graphics accelleration happens for Linux.
I know full well that that isn't Linux's fault, but the graphics cards manufacturers fault for either not supplying drivers at the same time as they do for Windows, or releasing the specs for their cards. But... I'm not going to put up with slow games just because of this.
So... I'll just sit here... waiting for the revolution to come:)

Which totally ignores the original author's copyright on that document or object.
I'm not adverse to you using the information you find, but you're not allowed to redistribute it. That's breach of copyright.

The first commercial release of Windows, version 1.0, wasn't called "Windows", it was called "Microsoft Windows".

Neat. Now, If I only had mod. points, I'd give you one of mine :)
Okay, thanks for the clarification :)
So, how does the digestive system respond to fructose in the presence of lactose?
Okay, I'm going to correct my correction.

Of course. It follows the standard adage: Be strict in what you emait. Be forgiving in what you accept.
Although, it would be really nice if IE, Netscape, etc, had a -strict switch.
