  1. Re:What does Science have to say about this? on Massachusetts Boarding School Sued Over Wi-Fi Sickness · · Score: 1

    "There are a half a dozen studies that show this"

    So cite them. Don't tell people to google anything. You make the claim, you back it up.

    The lack of citation and the fact that the only reference to this study is in comment sections of articles makes me doubt it's veracity.

    You can call it what ever you want, No one has provided any evidence that this study is anything more then a figment of Firethorn's imagination.

    Still no citation for this claim. We spent lot of time discussing someone's fantasy.

    Honestly If you are going to make claims of some study, you really should post a link to it, or at least to something discussing it.
    And to anyone telling me to look it up, I say no, not my job, if you made this mistake in a paper in school you would fail, so try not to fail in life too.

    Posting removes moderation done to articles, one cannot post and moderate in the same article.

    That should have been done in the first place. Don't expect me to do your work for you. No citation means you fail, or are you gonna tell you college professor to google it?

  7. Free? on AT&T Hotspots Now Injecting Ads · · Score: 1

    I get access to AT&T hotspots because I am an AT&T customer, So I am wondering about this use of the term "free". Access to these access points was a selling point when I signed up. In what world is something I am paying for called free?

  9. Re:Actually you can on Group Seeks Test For Geoengineering Tool To Fight Climate Change · · Score: 1

    It's not about killing the planet. We are not going to do that as life is pervasive. What we will do is change the climate too rapidly for us to adjust. then it's bye bye human race and Earth starts over and try's again.

    There is a big difference between recording the activities of an on-duty police officer and tracking the movements of citizens.

  12. Re: Search engines search. It's what they do. on Now Google Must Censor Search Results About "Right To Be Forgotten" Removals · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It is not about "incorrect or inaccurate" information. It is about the desires of individuals to "determine the development of their life in an autonomous way, without being perpetually or periodically stigmatized as a consequence of a specific action performed in the past."

    So no, it's not about having false information out there about you, that's already covered by other laws (libel, slander), it's about whitewashing your past misdeeds.

    How is it an invasion of privacy if all your removing is the index to it? If the information has already been published then it wasn't private in the first place.

    Yes you could, in fact in Dastar v. Twentieth Century Fox , the Supreme Court cautioned against the misuse or overextension of trademark protections into areas traditionallyoccupied by copyright and patent law.

    I don't know why we are arguing about why this guy can't monetize this public domain work, because Superman is not in the public domain and most likely never will be. Do you really think there will not be another copyright extension before 2033?

    >I don't believe that you can put the original work up on a server and charge for it.

    Too bad the law doesn't care what you believe. Because if your trying to tell me that people can't make money from PD works, then please explain the huge number of Shakespeare works for sale.

    > Everything is in the public domain unless someone asserts their copyright Umm, No. Copyright is automatic. Things only enter the public domain when copyrights expire. There is absolutely no other way for a work to enter the public domain.

    At this point in time Superman will not fall into the Public Domain until 2033. You can be assured that Congress will extend Copyright again before then.

    It was also still legal to do it when HC did it. You are right the law came later, the 2014 Federal Records Law was signed 2 years after Clinton left office.
