the relevant part (a) Importation into the United States, without the authority of the owner of copyright under this title, of copies or phonorecords of a work that have been acquired outside the United States is an infringement of the exclusive right to distribute copies or phonorecords under section 106, actionable under section 501.

(2) importation, for the private use of the importer and not for distribution, by any person with respect to no more than one copy or phonorecord of any one work at any one time, or by any person arriving from outside the United States with respect to copies or phonorecords forming part of such person's personal baggage;
Seeing as it would be classified as importation if one downloads music from a server not located in the United States, allofmymp3.com would be legal. IANAL
There have been many cases were some one has driven off attackers by brandishing a weapon but not using only to have the the attackers come back and beat or kill the homeowner.
It costs more to proceed with capital punishment then to give life without parole. Also, if you shoot and wound the punk, he can sue you for everythhing you own.
So the moral is shoot to kill. You will save tax payers money and not have to suffer a civil lawsuit from some punk that trespassed and attacked your family.
I remember my perfect game of Street Fighter 2 in college. With Chun Li, I out fireballed guys playing Ken. I played for over 2 hours before I ran out of challengers and completed the game. I was so focused I didn't even notice when challengers changed. I could almost sense moves before they were made. I have never reached that level intensity sense though.
GNU Hurd has no exploits as far as I know. Do you really think that it is so secure, or because it has not reached critical mass yet for anyone to bother trying to exploit it yet?
There is another school of thought that says: Design for the upper tier not the Lowest Common Denominator. Who wants something designed for fools and morons?
One must learn to drive a car, ride a bike, row a boat, swim, operate power tools, et cetera. Why should one not have to learn to use a computer?
Bet you have a bunch of student loans. They help tremendously to build credit history once you start paying them off. Until then, carry a balance a few times, like say charge $100 and only pay off $30 a month. The other thing is one must actually use a credit card to get a history or pay off loans.
The important thing is don't miss payments. If you must miss a payment, call your credit issuer. Trust me, this will greatly save you grief down the line, and they will try to work with you.
Children have a way of getting into everything. The packaging of children's dvd's usually have the character all over them so discs become an attractive nuisance. The kids will find a way to get them and then...they get broken.
Wrong. It is out decision. We are stakeholders and more importantly, we are citizens of the United States. Stakeholders should influence a company's decisions. (Stakeholder include shareholder, suppliers, employees, and customers.) Citizens grant the right for the company to exist in the first place.
The members of the RIAA were granted corporate charters to promote the public welfare. Suing everyone can be argued to violate thier corporate charter. It could be grounds for thier dissolution.
But were the patents novel ideas? It is not suspose to matter if it is new if it is only a logical progression from existing technologies. It is obvious that the patent office does not take this into consideration anymore with such things as sideways swinging, using a laser pointer as a cat toy, or one click shopping.
Actually, by a higher order of reasoning, it is ethically wrong to not use your seatbelt, because it puts a greater burden on the health care services. It is also wrong to burden your loved ones with your severe injury or death when a minor precaution can greatly reduce the risk.
While it is debatable on whether it is ethically permissible to lie, there are circumstances when it is less wrong to lie to your mother rather than tell the truth. It is better to give some excuse for not calling on her birthday rather than say you are an inconsiderate git that can't remember when her birthday is.
That is if there is heavy network traffic. Typical internet usage or even streaming video is going to take a day or more, and that is presuming constant usage. It takes gigs of traffic to crack a wep key.
The whole point of wep is to cost the intruder time. It is relatively easy to get by the deadbolts on your house's doors. I had a friend that had his house broken into, they used a circular saw to cut out the door frame. Doubt it took them five minutes. Still would advise you to lock your doors though.
For a home user, wep should be good enough. If you can't trust your neighbors, your screwed anyways, and anyone else will be a bit conspicous hanging out in your driveway everyday. For an office that has many visitor or in a heavily trafficked are, you should use something more secure like wpa.
About a year ago there was a Nes story about this guy parked the wrong way on a one way street. He was found with no pants and dowloading child porn. If he hadn't been parked the wrong way, he probably would not have been stopped.
Guess the ones that haven't been found yet are just a bit smarter.
No, The GPL is a contract that grants a license if certain obligations are done. BSD is more of a license (I think the leaving of copyright notices is required). Using GPL software does not require accepting the GPL contract, but once one starts to ditribute it, then one enters into (an implied) contract with the authors.
Not exactly, The smoke is a chemical irritant. However, people are allergic to Tobacco. Pretty much it comes down to exagerated negative effects of smoking- nausea, headaches, asthma/emphsema trigger, rashes, et cetera.
The argument is that if the GPL is found invalid then EULA's will be invalid as they are on even more shakey legal ground.
The GPL is a contract. If someone legally distributed a copyrighted work to you, then you can use that work, no contract is required. If you want to distribute copyright, then you need a License. The GPL is a open contract that grants you a License if you do certain specific things (namely provide source code). Contracts are meant to be a give and take on both sides or more properly an exchangen (I believe the legal term is consideration). If you contract for my services, I give you my time and you give me money.
EULA's give you something that you already have: the right to use a the program, first sale doctrine et al.

Trafficking in encryption circumvention devices. Copyright violations. Depending on your jurisdiction these can be criminal charges.

You mean you have never hit the zone?

The 9200 is the best. The 8500, 9000, 9100, and 9200 all use the same core, r200. The 8500 and the 9000 are susposed to be the same clock speeds.
The latest ATI cards supported for DRI are the 9200.

It works fine in Mandrake.
You forgot Mandrake, who pays the developer who actually maintains the cdrecord fork.
Wrong again. Amendment nine states that the Constitution does not list all our rights.

Some of us, you never realize except when we have bloodshot eyes or suffer bouts of sneezing. Claritin does help for that, though.

Housecall works pretty nice bbut really needs a broadband connection.
Where is DEC? Look at what is happening to AT&T.
