What about any legal proceeding? I'm sure that there are countless instances of published works used in legal proceedings that aren't copyright related. Do the lawyers need to pay royalties for those as well? What a racket!
I would be astonished if this isn't considered Fair Use.
Most people aren't because mozilla has gone to significant effort to block public from ever getting it. This isn't my opinion - this is their officially announced strategy.
When I upgraded a week or two ago I had v9 for about a day on Ubuntu, and then it went up to 10. When I upgraded my W7 & XP systems, I got 10 as well. Everything is uniformly 10.0.2 now.
The advantages to sticking with an older version are, you already know it works, and your add-ons work with it. You also know that the good gentleman at Firefox haven't decided to rearrange the interface again for no apparent reason. Finally, of course, the new versions don't actually seem to have any interesting new features.
I updated from 3.5 to the latest version, recently, because of some problem where the browser would just stall out for 3-4 seconds, becoming completely unresponsive. The update does seem to have fixed that problem. Otherwise, I haven't really noticed any significant difference, which is really just fine with me.
I upgraded very recently - I was holding out, but didn't notice that one of the Ubuntu upgrades was jacking it up, and applied it by rote.
At first it was a big pain, but I think only because I use "tree style tab" and habitually keep ~1500 tabs open. The trees were really screwed up, but after closing lots of stuff and rebuilding from scratch, things are working well. (I'm only up to ~250 tabs right now.) (Also, tree style tab tended to have problems even with Firefox 3.x.)
What I like best is that you can set it to only load a tab when you click on it, so if you restart your mega-tab session it will only try to load one tab per window, and thus won't choke your internet connection. That's a huge plus, for me.
...a book published in 1965 called "the mad scientist's club". The main difference as I see it is that the kids did technical pranks and hardhacks outside in the sun and fresh air, a concept that would probably be considered abnormal now.
I get a nice even tan from my monitors, thank you very much.
This kind of event is going to knock anything out that can conduct electricity. The telegraph lines overloaded and caught fire in 1859. Your data isn't safe, if it's on a hard drive, CD, SSDs, the cloud etc.
Also, it kind of doesn't matter, since power facilities like the one I work at are required to prepare for things like the "maximum possible flood" not a "500 year flood".
Noah could have saved himself a lot of trouble by just crashing at your facility instead of building an ark.
I've just met a bunch of people who proclaim their utopian ideas of the world being better who would screw you and your aged grandmother in a heartbeat.
You missed the fine print: they think their ideas would make the world better for them.
(Though I've never met one who wasn't delusional, thinking he - always a he - has enough money or influence to come out ahead in a free-for-all society.)
It's over a year now, dust settled... so was Aaron Barr/HBGary a joke? (from the PoV of services, of course it was... but how come powerful institutions came to use or attempt to use them?)
Those bills aren't slouching through Congress to be born. They're being bought by one-percenters who think buying congresscritters is cheaper, easier, and more profitable than coming up with a business model that works in the Internet Age.

My son's elementary school uses "Math Investigations" which is part of that "new math".
Wonder if that's the same "new math" I got when I was a kid.
Humans work with base 10 for good reason.
Yeah, you can always spot aliens by the way they count change in base 2*pi.
(Also, by the fact that they have pi fingers on each hand.)

Antimatter caused the visible/dark matter to come unglued.
But is anti-darkmatter the same thing as dark-antimatter?
God?
Seems to fit:
- provides structure
- omnipresent
- never seen them both at the same party
I think you're onto something! (Or maybe just on something?)
When you change the model to fit the data, we call that science.
And when you change the data to fit the model, we call that marketing.
Many scientific theories held by the majority, sometimes for centuries, were overthrown by observant people working alone.
Alas, Bozo the Clown worked alone too.
.. I can't help but think of this as more of a way to make data look the way you want it to.
In short, a visually pleasing way to bend the facts that are presented in the data.
Need some AI macros - "Make this data make us look profitable", kind of thing.

Overall, I'm content with the upgrade.
The summary and TFA seem to hint that this is an FBI sting, but the details don't seem to support that.
Maybe more will come out about it later.
Law enforcement officials need to get in line with the fact that society is going to require them to behave.
Those that can't need to find another line of work.

Bitcoinica lost 43,554 BTC (valued at about US$200K) in the same incident.
Funny enough, your post was at the bottom of the page when I read it, so I could see the daily cookie right below your post:
But like the Good Book says... There's BIGGER DEALS to come!
Everyone gets all scared when big piles of BTC are stolen because the price usually crashes afterwards.
If you were confident that it would recover, you could turn that into a money pump.
A question I consider sometimes is the relationship between Bitcoins and the US Customs (or any other border agency.)
I doubt that it's legal in the USA anyway. Supposedly there was a big bust on an "alternative currency" system last year.
(Flagfox shows bitcoin.org to be on a US server, so I'm *guessing* that they are operating out of the USA.)

Welcome to Griftopia.
Or I should have said, "congresscritters or other public officials", since AIUI ACTA is being pushed by the executive branch in the USA.
Those bills aren't slouching through Congress to be born. They're being bought by one-percenters who think buying congresscritters is cheaper, easier, and more profitable than coming up with a business model that works in the Internet Age.
(Heh, my .sig is actually relevant to the post.)
A single iron atom isn't going to much of a sword.
Maybe they're fighting Elven bacteria.
worked as an action/adventure movie with a thin veneer of spaceships, but it wasn't Star Trek.
You'd think the screenwriters had heard of the series(es), but never actually seen any episodes.
