Um, ATT doesn't have coverage in those countries. They just have roaming deals. And for a large portion of those countries, renting a *SATELLITE* phone is cheaper than roaming with your cell phone.
T-Mobile, on the other hand, has actual wholly-owned and branded as "T-Mobile" subsidiaries in a large number of European countries.
For software, companies are exploiting the technicality that you need to copy software into RAM (and often onto the hard disk) to be able to use it. Since you need to copy it to use it, they reason, you need an explicit license to do this, rather than the implicit license from copyright law.
17 USC 117 says the exact opposite. Copies necessary to actually use the software are fully legal and do NOT need a license. Everyone here needs to RTFL sometime.
No, you don't. I wish people would read 17 USC 117 sometime.
(a) Making of Additional Copy or Adaptation by Owner of Copy. -- Notwithstanding the provisions of section 106, it is not an infringement for the owner of a copy of a computer program to make or authorize the making of another copy or adaptation of that computer program provided: (1) that such a new copy or adaptation is created as an essential step in the utilization of the computer program in conjunction with a machine and that it is used in no other manner...
Long story short, to make copies to install and run a program (eg disc to HDD, HDD to RAM, RAM to CPU cache) does NOT require a license because it is expressly PERMITTED by 17 USC 117.
17 usc 117 provides you with all the legal right you need to make all copies needed to actually *use* the application...you don't need a license from microsoft to "copy" windows to run it.

Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
WTF are you smoking? how the hell can you conclude that leaving a network open creates an implied "use me" policy?
last time i checked, you have no right to be on a network (wired or wireless) unless you have been explicitly granted permission by a person in a position of authority over said network. just leaving the network open is not a grant of permission.
any matching mobo information out there? it'd be nice to combine this with a properly tuned archive of debian or gentoo for sparc (archive == both source and binaries) and then have a 100% open computing environment
what if you're cruising along on a road with two lanes going your way (and no space on the shoulder), next to a semi-truck, and said truck suddenly decides to cut over into your lane for no reason...and doesn't notice you there (even though you can see his mirrors or whatever [and therefore should be visible to him])? (true story that happened to me, of course)
the back of the truck started drifting into my lane first...so am i supposed to slow down and *increase* my risk of getting clipped? or can i speed the hell up and shoot out of there like a bar of soap?
then short of (another) crazy idea involving liberal use of EMPs on whole slices of the US (for now, anyway), is there any way in hell we can fight this sort of thing by end-running around those worthless sacks of shit in the government? at least i can begin to see that i was just dreaming.

So you want everyone to return to the feudal era, where barely anyone ever went more than 5 miles from home?
Bytes are not in the realm of SI. Nobody broke any standards because they never agreed to play by them in the first place.

Um, copy and paste is in the new OS, along with MMS and tethering.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were both roughly 20 kiloton bombs, not 10 megatons.

It says "owner of a copy", not "owner of the copyright" or anything like that. That seems clear to me.
I'm pretty certain Linksys makes a Linux-based 802.11g / ethernet webcam and posts the firmware source for it.

so within a decade we could see a DNA backend for GCC? or (*shudders*) one for Visual C++?
is this the third incarnation of the cbdtpa / sssca?
so can I build myself a TIE fighter yet? are these ion engines powerful enough?
4 computers? one per person? he could have a wife and two kids.

hmm...will lucas make episodes 7-9 just to use these cameras? =P
it's all a collection of facts, generated by you being alive and doing stuff. so you should automatically own copyright.
so therefore anyone who knows anything about you should be guilty of infringement..and if they sell it, they should be guilty of distribution.
