Since Michael Moore's satire/propaganda/hit-piece movies don't qualify as documentaries, that leaves this movie as the all-time highest-grossing documentary.
I find it baffling that a highly sensitive network would be connected to the Internet.
Sensitive networks are cut off from the rest of the Internet using firewalls and other controls. Classified information is kept on unconnected networks with very strict rules about letting anything get to an unclassified system.
However, there's an old axiom in military security that a lot of public or sensitive information gathered can be collated into something that is sensitive enough to be classified.

How long before we have a Congressional equivalent?
A non-Judeo-Christian congressman? It took us ninety years to let blacks in there, and over 130 years before the first woman, so it'll take a while longer before we start letting the unwashed heathens run our country.

I connected mine to a hose spigot with 1/8" tubing, which supplied a continuous flow of water to the mist nozzle, which was mixed with a good flow of hot dry air from the fans, and resulted in a good flow of cool slightly damp air.
Here's a water-saving tip that increases efficiency a bit, but uses a touch more electricity. Put the mesh in a trough that can hold an inch or so of water, then put a float switch in the water attached to the hose that feeds the trough to make sure it stays full. Then pump water up to your sprayer using a small pump. You can set the sprayer low because the water will also get wicked up from the trough.
Too bad where I live it's too humid to use a swamp cooler. They served me well in New Mexico.

The laws are about unauthorized access. These guys just gave you authorization.
An Opteron at the same clock will kill it on memory-intensive applications due to the on-board memory controller and lower latency. Intel is still far behind clock-for-clock.
Regardless of what Jane did back in the early 70's I think it's inappropriate at this point to call her a "traitor."
She adhered to the enemies of the United States and gave them aid and comfort. I picked that wording carefully, since those words are used to define the only crime listed in the Constitution: treason.
Bedwetting, womanizing, drug use, petty theft, all forgivable things in an otherwise good person's life. Treason? Uh, no, there is a limit to what we can attribute to "youthful indiscretions" (hehe, I love that phrase, thank you Bush).
The query 'who is Jane Fonda?' triggers the answer '... is an Academy Award winning American actress, model, writer, producer, activist and philanthropist'
WHat is copyrightable is any introductions and or commentary on the stories in your edition. But not the stories themselves.
I know the stories aren't copyrighted, just as the court filings aren't copyrighted. My point is I can't take my Poe book (which is only stories), copy it verbatim (not just the text, but everything) and resell it without expecing a legal fight.
In any case, a copyright claim here would be very thin. There are little or no damages since the work is distributed for free, and there are no statutory damages since the work was not registered. The most it could be is a black eye for SCO in court, maybe some legal fees.
I probably shouldn't have used the Iliad, since there is a translation issue. But my Edgar Allen Poe collection is copyrighted. Not the Poe text within, but the whole product. It would probably be legal to copy every word out of it and reprint it in another form, but that fixed form itself (my book) is copyrighted.
Look up the phone book case for example. FEIST PUBLICATIONS, INC. v. RURAL TEL. SERVICE CO., 499 U.S. 340 (1991)
I'm not going to argue with a lawyer. Thanks for the info on libel/slander. If written/voiced doesn't differentiate the two, then what does?
All publication requires is that it be shown to one other person... that whoever wrote the letter showed it to someone else.
True, but I doubt they could make a case as long as the people seeing the letter all had reason to see it in keeping with the process of creating and distributing those letters.
If it is a state-run school, the First Amendment applies and they cannot make content-based restrictions on speech.
Obviously none of knows enough to be able to make informed discussion here. But if the university's policy is "no P2P" then it is content-neutral, so there's probably no way to make a 1st Amendment argument. It would simply a network policy. We had the same on our government-run systems, and we enforced it rigorously, including tweaking the IDS to detect P2P-like traffic on the network.
I noticed their documents relating to Daimler Chrysler aren't complete. They have quite a few, but seem to have left out the later documents showing WHEN THEY LOST.
Being a public domain work, the content of the documents is not copyrighted. However, a decent IP lawyer should be able to make a copyright case since they are the ones who fixed the information into its current form. That's why although the Iliad isn't copyrighted, you will see a copyright notice on the book when you buy a copy of it.
Putting into context of the case that established you can't copyright facts, a phonebook. It was legal to copy all of the information in the phonebook and republished in a separate, unique form. But it would have been illegal to copy it in the form it was fixed by the original phonebook publisher.
First, it was written so it would be libel. Second, it was not published, only sent to the student, so it wouldn't even be libel.
And third, it's their network so they can disallow whatever they want.
The best he can expect is a reinstatement of network use after showing the suspected file was not illegal copying. Of course that's if their network policy doesn't have a blanket "no P2P allowed."
What does this have to do with anything?

They show a bunch of designs by the guy who did the uninspiring early 90s Apple systems.
Apple now has Jonathan Ive, probably the best industrial designer on the planet. Does anyone think any Apple products will look anything like this?
The story prior to this is about one of the largest (if not the largest) and fastest-grown server farm installations in the world, and it's all Linux. And, IIRC, it doesn't contain anything from "EDS, Oracle, Cisco, Microsoft, Sun, Dell and EMC."

The shredder engine they used is a far cry from what would be certified to shred Top Secret (as you see on their paper) documents.

If this is a joke that they should be banned because the copyright cartel will say "It's only to priate our wares," I get it.
Otherwise, uncompressed 10-bit 1080i HD video can take about 10GB per minute.
