BUT what if we win, so what if we go back to Life + 50? To me, life+50 is still extremely excessive.
Perhaps then someone should try arguing this line of reasoning: the Copyright Clause of the constitution states that Congress has the power to secure for limited times to the author exclusive rights. As such, if the "limited time" has not yet expired, copyrights should expire immediately upon the author's death. This was a line of argument that wasn't presented in the case, so the court couldn't rule on it.
I don't know where you got 0.568 L from, a pint is actually 0.47 L. I'm not sure about pint glasses in bars, but usually when you buy hard alcohol in a liquor store and you get a pint, its really 0.375 L. A fifth is 0.75 L, which is almost dead on. I don't know about gallons though (I never buy alcohol in that quantity). They could be accurate, or they could be 3.5 L or 4 L.
For many of the worms still circulating (nimda, code red, etc.), you could simply use the same hole that the worm got in on. Once you have killed the worm process, you could also patch the hole if you are a kind netizen.
The way I see this is akin to a self defense plea when you are charged with murder. If someone is coming at you with a gun, you have the right to stop him/her with any available force. However, if you are charged with murder, the burden of proof is on you to show that you were acting in self-defense. The same should go for an attack on the internet. If some computer is attacking you, you should be able to react with reasonable force. But the burden of proof should again be on you to show that you were acting with reasonable force.
remember Intel upheld it's PC (political correctness, not personal computer) brigade when they decided to "re-number" the 666Mhz P3 chip as being 667Mhz (AFAIK)
No they didn't. 667MHz is the correct number. The actual clock speed is 2000/3 MHz, or 666.6 repeating. Rounded to the nearest whole number, its 667.
Imagine that the sun exploded, and formed two equally large fragments each traveling perpendicular to the plane of the solar system. (Similar to what Bruce Willis did to a Texas-sized asteroid in Armageddon.) The earth's orbit would not be affected for another 8 minutes.
Actually, the Earth's orbit wouldn't be affected at all. If it split into two pieces of equal mass traveling at an equal but opposite velocity perpendicular to the plane, there would be no change in the gravitational pull. We could still treat it as a point object.
Well, the reason for your confusion is that the demonstration is trying to use a 2-D analogy to explain a 3-D phenomenon, but is still treating it as 3-D. Imagine it this way, you have a rubber sheet with a bunch of parallel lines on it. Those are the paths of objects in the plane that are only affected by inertia. When you press down in the middle, the lines bunch up around the depression. The lines are now the paths of objects in the plane that are affected by gravity. This better illustrates that it isn't gravity that is pulling the objects into the depression, but rather the requirement that the objects stay in the plane.
Given the choice between a government that merely takes away our free speech rights and a government that is liable to get us all killed in a nuclear war, I'd take the former every time.
Unfortunately, there are very few ISPs that have reliable Usenet servers. Usually you will have to pay for a dedicated nntp service. My ISP's news server almost always drops somewhere between 1 and 5 parts of a ~50 part rar set.
I'm not sure you have the right to backup books. My impression was that only applied to software, which DVDs may or may not be. Movies and albums you have the right to time-shift, space-shift, and media-shift, but not to backup.
Well, depending on how liberally you interpret the DMCA, his talk at DefCon could be construed as a crime. It would then be breaking a US law in the US, which we hold non-residents for all the time.

Do you like an open mind?
A mind is like a wound, if its too open it'll get infected. Seriously, you should practice your critical thinking skills a bit.
Here is my fact... It happened here on Earth, therefore the probability of it happening is > 0.
Sorry, the probability of life arising on other planets is not affected by the fact that life arose on this planet. Its like a coin toss, even though the coin you just tossed ended up heads, the probability of the next one being heads is still 50%
So even though Apple may include gcc along with their dev tools, the dev tools aren't dependant upon gcc.
The dev tools most certainly are dependent upon gcc. Project Builder uses gcc to compile and will not be able to build a project if you don't have gcc on you system.

What about the container format? Will it support ogg or mp4(the real one) containers rather than avi?

Hurray! I got a first post on a story thats more than a day old!!!!!

The VIC-20 had 20K of RAM, thats why it was called the VIC-20. Just like the C-64 had 64K and the C-128 had 128K.
The American fluid ounce and the Imperial fluid ounce are probably just measured at different temperatures.

You've been able to get porn over packet radio for years.

Warning: Spoiler ahead. In Titanic, the boat sinks at the end.
If it really is the last age of the church, we stand a much better chance now of lasting 250 million years than we ever have in the past.

Actually, since Dmitri wasn't the defendant, they could have called him. Testifying against ElcomSoft was also part of his plea agreement.

Thats actually quite common and isn't overburning at all. An 80-min disc will fit 800MBs on it in mode 2, which is what VCDs and SVCDs are burned in.
