If we use the same asinine reasoning as to what allow EULA's any legal force, then a person can not even view a web page as that is making a copy.
At the other end of the spectrum, the archive is fair use. The internet as a whole can be viewed as a giant antholgy that is constantly updating. By maintaing snapshot of the anthology at particular times, one is offering a form of commentary.
The reality is, do you want a bunch of sleazebags to close down some of the better parts of the internet? Do you want to be jailed on someone's whim because you cached a website for offline reading?
That all sounds nice but you are just as much trolling.
Parents do not care about long term best interests of thier child. The teacher is worng and is just to babysit the child and hand out A's.
If you have the temerity to fail someone, then you better have a ream of paper work to demonstrate that the kid has been fucking up, and that you tried to notify the parents eight ways to Sunday about the problem.
While basic competency of teachers can not be address by this, more teachers would help a lot. How much teaching gets sidelined because the teacher has to constantly maintain control in a classroom of 40?
Competency can be addressed in part by paying teachers a decent salary. There are fair process to ensure teachers of a minimal competency. It is fairly easy to get rid of a teacher before the achieve tenure.
The basics also need to be taught before Junior High/Middle School.
It appealed to an older generation. I loved the game and was one of the few solo games I have bothered to finish. I found the game immersive. The flash light could have been better handled.
I disagree with your first assertion. Trolltech would never release Qt under the BSD licence. It would undermine thier whole business model. There are several software publishers that have similiar models.
That all ignores if FSF and GNU would have come about in the first place if there was no GPL.
Well, a lot of programmers just chose the BSD because "everyone" says it is so much freer and simpler. These programmers are contributing code OSS and expect others to be of similiar mind and contribute back as well. Unfortunately some people will take advantage of them and now the authors are agrieved.
Depends on the state, some only require one party to know.
But a better example might be a car. You can't just drive a car you own, at least on a public road. You have to have licence, registration, insurance. Many states require a minimal level maintanence.
Guns would be another. depending on location, you might need a licence or permit, and then if you do not carry it openly, you need a concealed weapons permit.
Having a WAP with no wep and broadcasting the SSID, is like leaving your door open and having a neon "Open" sign in the window. Connecting to an open WAP should not be illegal.
There is a second issue here and is what is really the problem, is a creepy guy hanging out for hours in a residential neighborhood. The police will level every possible charge that they have possibility of sticking so the guy might be convicted of something. If the guy does not have child porn on his computer, he likely won't have any worse charge than loitering.
If you take a typical suburban developement, and someone is hanging around for many hours, then yes they should either be confronted or law enforcement should be called. If you are not visiting someone or a tradesman on the job, there is no business for you to be on a residential street that is not a main throughfare. It is one thing to drive through a neighborhood, but another thing to stay parked for hours.
B) Nothing is required to connect to an unsecured WAP, other than turning on a notebook.
This is more of a trespassing issue. If you do not have a "No Trespassing" sign posted, then you cannot arrest someone for wandering onto your property.
The acer notebook guy was probably in the wrong on this particular scenario, but what he was doing, provided he was not committing any other crimes like sending death threats or trafficking in child porn, should be legal even if questionable morally. The problem many people have is that we don't like the precedent that could be set with this case.
I don't want to get arrested because I checked my email in a cafe. Then find out I was unauthorized to use the wifi because it belongs to the office next door. If you do not want people connecting to your AP then set a WEP key. It will take only a minute. If you do not want someone coming onto your property, then post a "NO Trespassing" sign.
RPM is a technicaly better package manager than dpkg. With the sources list updated, there have been no dependancy hell problems. It automatically download and installs packages and thier dependancies. It works better than YUM, works better and quicker than portage, and is at least as good (many ways superior but only because a better maintained servers list) as apt-rpm.
Media Player 9 and up on all versions of Windows can play DVDs...
If you have a dvd decoder installed, read dvd player. Even though most dvd drives come with a dvd player (though my Mad dog DVDRW drive did not, not that I really care), the DVD consortium extorts fees from MS and everyone else to provide a licensed copy of a css decoder. So MS says not going to pay and leaves the enduser with the hassle of getting dvd playback working.
Go through the hassle of setting up mplayer in Linux, (and the last time it was a simple command: urpmi gmplayer) and play most anything under the sun.
Drivers on CD? When was the last time that the drivers on the CD were actually still valid. Cripes, you are asking for a world of hurt using some driver discs with Windows XP SP2. The safest thing to do is go download the drivers and chuck the install disk.
At least in Linux the vast majority of things will be supported from the get go. I have a Geforce FX5900 (not the newest but not that old) and the drivers were installed automatically when I installed the Mandrake/Mandriva 2005LE.
There is a standard for driver installation and supports binary only drivers, it goes by such names as Red Hat Package Manager or Debian Package Manager. Get burned by binary only packages and you will be screaming for source too. (Damn you Corel WordPerfect 10).
There is a architecture independant way to handle drivers. Use the Source. With source, there are no other issues. If hardware manufacturers worked with Linux developers instead of giving them the bird, we wouldn't have driver issues. Even so, most sound chipsets work (unless you try to set it up in Gentoo:), any HP, Epson, or Postscipt printer works, any ethernet nic, or 802.11b chipset works. Most webcams work. Any mass storage camera or mp3 player works.
For most any device class, it is a quick search to verify if something works in Linux. For most anything that does not involve firmware (wireless cards- ndiswrapper, or scanners) or bleeding edge hardware, the drivers will already be a part of your distro.
The emu10k1 drivers have been available since the 2.2 days. The original Live cards are still the best supported sound chipset. The Audigy(2) is a bit more difficult to setup properly but the drivers are there in the 2.6 kernel.
Precariously balance a cup of liquid in your lap while driving a car. The odds of you spilling are so disproportionately high, that one can rightfully claim you are endeavoring to spill.
In the MacDonald's case, the plaintiff was found by the jury to be partially at fault. MacDonalds did serve thier coffee too hot, but the plaintiff was an idiot to balance the coffee in her lap.
Vitamin D is also known as calciferol. It is readily absorbed from food as it is from skin production. (There are other forms, but remain relatively inert, but most supplements will contain calciferol.) The liver converts calciferol to dihydroxyvitamin d, which acts as a hormone to increase calcium and phosphorus absorbtion.
Besides fortified food like milk, some food cntains Vitamin D naturally. The best sources are northern fish like fresh salmon, mackerel, and tuna. One serving has about the total daily value. Canned fish has about half the daily value.
If I copy your work, I am trespassing on your rights. Even "stealing" cable is a more correct turn of phrase because the cable company loses a small amount of signal so it costs them money. My copy does not deprive of you anything tangible. Sure I might be benefitting from your work, but you can't prove that I would have ever bought your work in the first place. So you are no worse off if copy or don't. Though if I make a copy, I might end up advetising for you wich is likely worth more than my one copy is worth. Food for thought.

A couple of points, first point a private school that does not get handouts from the government.
Which is easier, to teach students who are basicaly good kids that want to learn, or kids that want a free lunch and socialize with thier friends?
A true gifted/honors/IB program will be better than any private school.
That all sounds nice but you are just as much trolling.

A bad teacher should never achieve tenure as they should have been fired long before that.
While basic competency of teachers can not be address by this, more teachers would help a lot. How much teaching gets sidelined because the teacher has to constantly maintain control in a classroom of 40?
Competency can be addressed in part by paying teachers a decent salary. There are fair process to ensure teachers of a minimal competency. It is fairly easy to get rid of a teacher before the achieve tenure.

I loved to ask my players to roll a d20. I didn't often make use of the roll but, it sure would add suspense. :)

If cash transactions were non-binding contracts with minors, no store would ever sell anything to anyone under 18.
Only works on contracts which with cars usually involve loans which are contracts. Not going to work with cash transactions.

Many employers have the mistaken belief that if your nose is not kept to the grind stone every minute you are not doing all you could for the company.

A) The property owner was a guy in his thirties.

And what part of $2.5k is too much to spend that you do not understand. Nice troll.
And even Power books are underpowered, hence the move to x86 for Apple.

There is a new hardwood being grown in South America called Lyptus. It is a hybrid of two different types of eucalytpus. You harvest it in 20 years.
