While the law school should have at least tried to reach a solution outside of court, like they said they would in their C&D letters, looking at the site in question, it looks like a university website.
Ugly colors, the pretty stand university links (what U doesn't use administration,admissions,academics, career, alumni or something close to it?). He even has a big link to their U's email system (PAWS). Yes, he has a disclaimer, but it's small, secondary, and it's conveniently just off the screen for those browsing at 1152x864 of less.
Quite honestly, a lot of people could be confused by, and I don't see why the student wants his site to be confusely similiar.
Because the software won't let you use it without agreeing to it.
What we need to a common and simple to use program that will let us install software without having to click the 'I Agree' button. I bought the software, I have a right to use it, and as long as I can use it without clicking the 'I Agree' button the license doesn't apply.
They didn't lose. It was dismissed simply because never there was no real threat of prosecution in this case.
They were basically trying to challenege the DCMA based on an empty threat by the RIAA, but because they backed down, and never went any further with, there wasn't any real case.
I just got back from the competition last night (63rd in ENCA). One of the best parts of the ACM and similiar programming competitions is team work. You are given 8 problems to do in 5 hours. You have teams of 3 people and only one 1 computer to work with.
Team and time management become as important as probleming solving and coding.
The site I was at this year (Ashland, Ohio), we even had a seperate work-room and machine room, with only two people allowed at the terminal at once. You end up writing most of your code by hand and debugging print-outs, because you can't waste the time on the PC.
Also you may want to look into PC^2. I don't have a link handy but you can find it off of the ACM competition pages. It's the software used to handle submissions and judging.
Go grab the latest kernel source and compile it. That's the slackware philosophy.
The people using slackware aren't using the stock kernel that comes with the distribution for anything other than installation.
That's one of the reasons why the slackware people don't patch the source for the kernel that is distributed. It's assume that the user's going to compile whatever version they want, not depend on somebody to hand the them one with a bunch of useless extra stuff in it
Actually, according to the donation matching company listing on the EFF membership page (Join Today), if you work for Adobe, they'll match your donations to the EFF:-)
check out for yourself. The bandwidth/latency needed depends very much on what exactly you are doing, and how patient you are.
Set it up on a local network with a traffic monitor, and see what kind of bandwidth it uses. If necessary throw it through a traffic shaper and play with it.
If you're supposed to write it in scheme, I would assume that if your prof wants you to write it in scheme, using a very large piece of code that somebody else wrote in different language wouldn't be acceptable.
The point is that the new program doesn't do much if anything more than the old one did, or atleast as far as the things you want it to do.
All i wanted was out of netscape was to render a page, javascript, maybe java on occasion. 4.7 did that.
A complete rewrite should make the browser smaller and quicker at doing that. The problem is that they weren't happy with just that.

If memory serves you have bring the infringement claim within 6 years as per U.S. Patent Law.
There's a different between a disclaimer that is visible to most people when a page loads and one that you must scroll to see.
The latter is a lot easier for most people to miss.

Redhat has done intensive stress testing on ext3.
Am I the only one who was looking for link to an official star wars site, or any other confirmation than random slashdotter submissions?

People argeed to use earthlink for 6 months in order to get a special price, and then earthlink decided that to change the price
How you would react if ATT sent you a bill saying that they decided to put the price of their service for the past six months retroactively?

that all of these stories are probably real submissions...
Build into that or have a seperate program, to convert to mp3's any wavs which are lying around.
Simple http server (password protected, ssl if you're paranoid) to access the messages.
Setup a nice little web interface if you want to be fancy
I get asked a lot where mine came from (Mul Triha).
It's a random collection of syllables that came to mine when trying to find a name unique enough that it wasn't already registered on aim.
Portable? i don't know, but no way it's written mainly in ASM

It's not a matter of us vs stockholders. It's the simple fact that the main concern is making money for those stockholders. Above all else
