But, what could be the really fun outcome of this is that OEMs could realize that their customers want JAVA and bundle suns most recent java implimentation with their computers. One thing that has always held java back was the fact that 90% of computers out there have really old versions of java, even the newer releases of ME and 2000 used fairly outdates versions of java. So this in the long run could actually help java:)
No you read it backwards, he said
"only Sony Burners will be able to copy Sony CD's."
Meaning the Sony CD's won't be copyable except by sony burners, sony burners will obviously be able to copy other cd's. Doing otherwise would be stupid.
Wow, you just sparked a real idea, mathematitions say its impossible to encode a large truly random sequences of bits, into something that the outcome plus the decomressor is smaller than the first bytes. But given enough computing power you could find the large random bits in pit, somewhere and simple have the decompressor know the how to compute pi, and the start and stop points of the random number?
Dude, what are you talking about vinyl is the best quality out there (as sound goes), when I mean vinyl I mean the basic vinyl record concept, as vinyl isn't the best material and wears out quickly. But a platinum record properly made has great sound and last a long time.
Yea, the college I goto required an ethics class for anyone going into computer related studies. Havn't taken the class yet, but I can almost assume what it teaches.
You just forgot the first rule, reporters want to make themselves look good. Calling a "Hacker" a reporter would put a negative light on all reporters, thus not making them look good.
I'm saying this from the viewpoint that most reporters probably had in the case, I personally believe 2600 was in the right and all.
Well, it depends upon which framer your talking about, I believe Hamilton was pro IP, while I know Jefferson was anti IP. But Hammy a very centralised federalist government controlled by the rich, anyways.:P
I would say, less than five years for software patent, fifteen for normal patent, life of the artist for copyright and 20 years for corporate copyright.
20 years for corporate copyrights? First thats kinda discriminitory, and second the copywrite would then just be held by and employee, who would be contactialy bound to give up all rights to such copywrite, while it still being in the guys name.
You seem to have forgotten the purpose of copywrite when you say it should be lifetime of the creator, our founding fathers envisioned copywrite to be a very limited monopoly, just long enough to encourage people to create artistic works, not to insure that the artist gets as much money as he can from the work. And indie artist is not less likly to create a work if the copywrite was 20 years. Actually that person is more encouraged to create more works, as he cannot assume, that he can make money off such work for eternity. The only problem I see, is a corporation being more hesitant on funding a project that would receive money slowly overtime even past the 20 years. Creative works that can easily be copied rarly make much money past 20 years, and eventually corporations will just have to get used to the idea, that they can't feed of something forever.
The best thing I can bind is a program called blackhole http://freshmeat.net/projects/blackhole/
This can do a bounce back on spam saying that your user doesn't exist. This is for linux, I couldn't find any windows applications that could do this.
I would have put a mention of how it makes it illigal to create a method for someone to use an encrypted product on a device other than the manufacturur intended, for example in a special program to read an electronic book outload, that doesn't already contain such functions.
I'm sure you can reword that better and make it a bit easier to understand, but a real life example that people can understand is very important.
I hope some native speaker of American English will correct the inevitable typos and grammatical errors.
No typos that I see, but you did contridict yourself. You said that all conditions must be meet, then you make one condition that he be free, and the last one gives the implications that as long as they are taking concret steps to free him that it is alright for him not to be free. You probably meant to imply that even if he is freed that if they hadn't taken steps to free him you would still not buy their products. So try to be more clear on that point:)
I personally don't see why we can't merge the two networks, have two seperate networks, one smart, one dumb, have them merge at the ISP which routes both to your home though one line, and then have the smart ends (the individual computers), dictate what network the traffic is going to go through by using different addresses, which can be easily identifided as to what network they are intended for.
No I mean the law can be tried with other cases, no use making this kid a experiment, best to get him out as quickly as possible, even if it doesn't lead to an overturning of DMCA, such can be done in the civil courts.:)
Some lag may exist, yes but we have intelligent software out there that can deal with such lag, its really not that hard to do. It would be like playing a first person shooter with a lag of 50, definatly a pause, but not really noticable.
But they arn't a US company, so we don't care. I guess thats how the FBI looks at it. Though mainly they looked at the fact that it was his name listed as the copywrite owner. Which could be worked 2 ways. You can think of it as the company is only his distributor, but isn't liable. But it basiacally boils down to who had the descrecion as to whom the product could be sold to, as it is illigial to sell it to someone in the US.
Delays (short as they may be) in radio signals from earth to orbit would make that a bit impractical.
I'm sorry but no.. at any distance close to the moon, and you start running some lag. If regular orbits actually had that problem satilite communication would be much more difficult.
Actually, I believe it was that if they shared something witht the other half they had to share it with everyone else at the same price. So no exclusive contacts for IP basically.
Ita really sad that an intelligent guy like you has an automatic score of -1. I guess thats purposfull though hu? Anyways.
2. What do you believe the average consumers rights concerning use of a companies IP is?
What is granted as the legally binding terms of sale/license. That one was easy.
Yes, but don't you believe that there is a certain inalienable right to the freedom of speach to be able to talk about any problems you find in a product. Now I do believe that you can give up such a right through NDAs and whatnot, but firstly I don't believe that NDAs can be on shrinkwrap license agreements, and especially in more recent cases where there was no NDA but the law of the land. In effect the government is mandating that we have an automatic NDA about any encypted product we may buy.
Geez, trying to give a simple explanation, you right, the average nuke would be a bit much, but it gives the average person a good image of a quick large burst of energy.

Isn't that last definition the definition to Cunnilingus, where did you find that def? I'm curious?

Whats really sick is this guy got a score 5 mod on one of his post Scary.

Yes, but it can be tried in civil court aka DeCSS, without having to risk someone spending years in jail.
Well this isn't a macro virus, and most users don't have smtp outgoing firewalled to only a certain program. Though I think they should.
