put together a little program that automates it. i did that for N-Case, crams many websites of junk to them, 20-30 an hour (what they collect anyways), it random ID numbers they set up. kind of ruins their db after a few months. But of course it cant be actual sites, it needs to be completely bogus random junk
that is one amazingly horrible problem with the current state in patents. they just let people use stuff, then sue them later. if patents should exist (i dont think they should, but thats seperate), they should have to be enforced or lost like copyright
except you wouldnt be a copyright holder of any of the songs they downloaded. Every song produced is now owned by the Record label once that contract is entered. its considered work for hire. (RIAA land atleast) They own it, they do what they want with it regardless of the artist's opinion
how dont they have the time? have you ever watched CSPAN. its insane how much time they waste. maybe if they stopped pleasing special interest groups and actually WORKED hard on something it would be different. The founding fathers of the US accomplished an amazing amount even with all of debating and comprimise of interests. there was bickering and such, but they worked out something that has an excellent foundation. The foundation is still very good for today with the amendments.
they took a couple of small day care centers to court for "public viewing" of the little mermaid. not to mention i have quite a few cds that around the edge of it specifically prohibits "loaning of cds"
there are quite a few holes built into the new law, if it gets passed. I was reading a newsweek article about it, and its basically taking money out of large PACS, putting it into many smaller ones that all seem to have the same interest
good point, i like that example. but the MS one could be debateable, if you are actually rewriting it in assembly, could be a bit different, but who knows about other restrictions on viewing the code in the first place

no optional renewel, because its not an option, its a standard, who wouldnt renew it, (yeah a few wouldnt but the vast majority would renew it)
then there would be renewel laws that allow for a second one etc etc

my prof would give me a big fat F, the assignment specifically says it must use intuitive names etc.
I guess he doesnt believe in the maxim, it was hard to write, it should be hard to read
oh yes, because individual's handguns would work real well against the military, with their attack helicopters, but of course those would only come in after a bunch of police/FBI had failed to shoot you with their better than public avail weapons
In the United states atleast the Judge has the ability to override the jury verdict. Its rare to happen, but in cases when the jury DID ignore the law, the judge can still make it applicable. im not sure on the specifics, or even if its still constitutional to do that here. Anyone?
my battery died for my aging laptop, it still is useable with blackbox and such for editing code. but the replacement battery, $180. probably what i could get for the laptop itself
well since the GPL is designed to give MORE rights to an end user. If it was declared invalid, i would Assume that standard copyrights would be in effect. ie, unless you have permission to use but not copy without my written permission etc. And thankfully for the clause in the GPL that collapses the license back to standard legal IP rights, anything found to be a problem would yank everything in the GPL until it can be fixed. SO A, B and C are rights in the GPL. If A is found to be invalid, B & C are revoked also.
actually civil disobedience is breaking the law. But what he is doing goes far beyond the law he is trying to defeat. He is disobeying copyright law in all
the RIAA makes it a known fact they control %90 of the recording industry. The so called indie labels, owned by a larger company that is an RIAA member. There still is a lot of quality music out there, but it gets hard to find outside of RIAA (Mafia) world
according to my book and Macro Assembler Prof, Mips completely outsells Intels. I dont know for sure what they were refering to. All chips MIPS produces vs ALL chips Intel produces. or just proccessors, excluding say memory and other component chips.
i believe there are some laws involving artists and bankruptcy. I cant be specific because i honestly cant remeber. But if anyone has some info? Probably in the Satellite TV act of 96?
what was that quote: "freedom of the press is limited to those who own one" Permits have often been used as a method of denying legit rallies. Its quite easy to "lose the paperwork" etc.
Censorship of free speech has no purpose at any time. This is distinct from say not allowing the media to broadcast the plans of invasion before it happens.
Basically you have to ask the govt, why is a war needed if a speech can shake people's belief in the purpose of that war.
in response to the carnivore comment. The weight is now put on me to hide what i am saying so the govt cant read it? yes what a free society we live in. There shouldnt be ways around it, simply because there should be no NEED for it.
How would someone questioning the govt's involvement in the war (specifically WWI and II) allow the conquest of Europe?
Every action the Govt and leaders take need to be questioned for motive. Trust must also be present. Sounds like a contradiction? maybe, but i cannot trust a leader/govt if i do not look at their motives.
You know how many of those restrictions get lifted? they are declared unconstitutional. as in they shouldnt be laws in the first place.
Dont get me wrong, I do believe the US is a more free society than many other countries in the world. (not all etc). But just because its good, doesnt mean it cant be improved, and that it cant slide down to bad.

they do not have any right of free speech inside your home. once an email enters my computer, it is my home, they have lost all rights to free speech.
Feingold is pretty cool. He voted against the patriot act. (among other things) glad he is my rep.

Hmm nope, photocopy on that one, then return the book, $70 back in my pocket, which the University hit me up for on other random crap

Dont forget about spim,
Spim homepage
Spim is a MIPS assembly simulator for windows and linux. I am currently using it for a programming class at my University.
according to my book and Macro Assembler Prof, Mips completely outsells Intels. I dont know for sure what they were refering to. All chips MIPS produces vs ALL chips Intel produces. or just proccessors, excluding say memory and other component chips.
