It doesn't *need* cleared, espeically in the case of parody and the such. If used seriously it pretty much still falls under copyright. Hell, at the very least the original artist should be given credit.
In written word, it's considered a serious offense if, say a poem, or even a snippet of a poem, is republished as part of a larger work without credit given to the original author. Why should a (recorded) bassline be different than a poem in regards to copyright?
if that includes this.
Or another situations where the wiretap failed, and the police were able to get the information in a more traditional or creative way rather than breaking the encryption.
That's what is confusing to me. Why do companies still advertise things that people know to exist?
If I (the consumer) am interested in something that I know to exist (hard drives for example) then I search for them. Sites like pricewatch.com have made it so that most sites *can not* advertise effectively beyond their prices.
Advertising best works for things that people don't know exist. The thinkgeek ads on slashdot are a good example. They only advertise new things. Things that make consumers go "oh, that's cool". You can't make people want things. You can only inform them that something they want now exists.
I recently installed a machine with both win2k (admittedly a few years old) and mandrake 9
It's a little older machine, p2, TNT2, SBLive, generic 3com nic, MS laser mouse, older printer [sorry, don't remember the brand, not my printer].
mandrake installed, and then I ran it's update feature, turned off some services that were running, and everything was good.
win2k installed, and then I ran it's update feature [and rebooted 3 times], turned off some services that were running, downloaded sound drivers [and rebooted], downloaded video drivers [and rebooted], downloaded printer drivers, installed winamp, installed office, and everything was good.
Windows does quite a few things much better than Linux, but detecting hardware and being a nice easy install isn't one of them [any more].
Just for note, "switched" networks cannot be relied upon to switch all of the time. If there is an attacker (as opposed to a trivial observer) they can (pretty easily I understand) flood the switch with enough addresses to cause it to fill the switching tables, and fail over into un-switching modes.
How about excess rain from the increased water vapor? Or perhaps global cooling from the increased cloud cover?
In all honesty though, humans are beginning to run up against clean water problems in various areas of the world. The 'excess' water can probably be used elsehwere (not to mention probably being 'cleaner' than current water gathering methods)
Whether the recording industry has a legitimate gripe or not, it is unconscionable to toss aside centuries worth of due process precedent to catch people downloading music.
I think this is perfectly valid no matter the reason. (stop after precedent) Such things are being done in the name of Anti Terrorism as well we must remember.
The DMCA gives movie studios, record companies, software makers and other copyright owners the right to subpoena Internet service providers without getting a judge's approval.
Verizon originally argued that it is unfair for the music industry to be allowed to obtain subpoenas without judicial approval, but Bates threw out that argument in a January ruling.
It does not appear that Verizon has a problem with answering as much as just handing over information with (in their opinion) an invalid subpoena.
I found the trailers and news stories for ep 1 and 2 to be different than the matrix 2 in that:
1. They involved much more of the plot 2. They were done much earlier before release
I agree that trailers are not a good indication of a movie's worth, and indeed I've no idea if the new matrix movie will be good. I also agree (generally) with the inverse relationship between hype and quality.
Most people I know are more worried that it will simply be not-so-good.
*shrug* I think the majority of the marketing I've seen is pretty well done.
The trailers aren't too spoilerish, the movie posters are very very cool. Hell, even the news stories let out about the movie have been pretty tantalizing rather than repetative or revealing.
The ad on the boards during the NHL playoffs was a little... out of place and uninteresting, but overall it's significantly better done than... Phantom Menace for example.
Indeed, though nearly every 4th Amendment ruling I've seen has been explicitly gov. search and seizure vs individual; never individual vs individual or business vs individual. Most every example I've seen of the latter has been argued on precident.
This might be a stupid question, but why isn't there an Amendment to the constitution outlining a citizen's [and debatably business/person] right to privacy?
Certainly there is popular support for something like that. Is there even a draft or suggestion of such a thing? [a quick google search reveals that there's an Aussie law that's very similar, but very much like "business may not... business may..." rather than "all invidviduals have a right to privacy except [enter extreme qualifier here]" or a "Congress shall pass no law..."]
They should just have a draft. Whichever company had the worst record last year gets the first pick this year of Law School seniors [and choice undergrads going pro early].
Of course there's always the usual signing problems and draft day trades...
I have a problem with Social Security Cards or even drivers licenses being used as ID:
Social Security Cards are not meant to be ID, they're merely a piece of paper linking a name to a code number. They're trivial to recreate/forge, and provide no assurance that the person with the card is the person on the card.
Drivers licenses have similar problems, except (usually) being more difficult to forge. The extra problem here is that there's 50 different drivers licenses, 50 different departments that distribute them, and 50 different sets of rules regarding who can and who cannot get them.
I'm not educated enough to argue one way or another regarding ID cards, but to use unfit identification is unwise.
I've only actually sent in 2 rebates, both were for Western Digital hard drives, both purchased at the same time, both purchased on the same receipt.
Sent in both rebates with 1 receipt in 1 envelope.
Got 2 checks in 2 envelopes about 6 months later. Little late, but no hassle. I haven't even recieved any snail-spam from them either. Definately a plus for them when I look to buy more hard drives in the future [assuming it's not to replace the ones I bought that've been running well for 3 years now]
Come now, do you really think rich people will hold enhancements only to themselves? Certainly rich people can gain from having their sla... er workers be able to work longer/harder/better.
Most sites I've seen be successful [read: profitable] actually sell a product. Tshirts, books or some such that relate to their site. People will pay for things they want more than they don't want the hassle of paying for. People don't want to click on ads [almost universally], people do want cool things.

Didn't slammer start in Korea?
That'd be more like suing Mattel if Stephen King wrote a story that gave you nightmares of barbie dolls.
in another vein: that "fine" is probably still less than they're paying for college anyways.
created for open-mindedness you mean? :]
Isn't the patent on having a "nav bar" type of thing which links to different orginized areas of the site?
Nearly every site does this, and it's much much easier to do with frames, though they are not necissary.

Nope, it was all autodetected.
(I must admit that every previous incarnation of Linux I'd ever used [and every BSD incarnation] required such annoyances)

anyone notice in the bottom link that in 2003 that the listener portion of IIS was moved into the kernel?
Am I the only one that that strikes as a poor idea?

Don't get one.

Just one more way for others to annoy you.
Just one more way you can annoy your fellow man.
