Tenenbaum admitted distribution on the stand, under oath.
Did he admit: 1] "Distribution" as defined in 17 USC 106(3) 2] "distributing songs" as a layperson would understand it?
Because, legally speaking (and this is pretty vital when discussing matters of law) the two are very, very different. If you're asking a layperson (Tenenbaum is such) they would be unable to give answer #1 due to their lack of comprehension of the statute - meaning that unless Tenenbaum was specifically addressed with a question pertaining to 17 USC 106(3) (and also had it explained to him as part of the question) he almost certainly gave answer #2.
I don't have the court transcript, but it's almost certain he did not admit "Distribution", but instead admitted distributing some songs.
Sacrificing even a few lives for private space flight at this point in time would be irresponsible
Surely that should be left up to the individuals involved? Why is it up to you to decide on a maximum level of risk they should be allowed to expose themselves to?
Bear in mind, that by saving a little money by allowing more risky space flights you will be lowering the taxes of Americans - this extra money can then be spent on goods and services more directly relevant to quality of life - ultimately perhaps allowing people better sanitation, nutrition or medical care.
Allowing a dozen or so astronauts to die per year, to save a trillion dollars may yield many thousands of longer (or saved) lives due to the resources being spent elsewhere... and perhaps what is most important is that everyone involves will be doing what *THEY* want - it will be a more consensual, and more free system.
It seems particularly counterproductive to do so on the really cheap; but warm and fuzzy, nonmonetary perks.
Every good manager knows that it is far more effective (from an employee motivation POV) to spend a reasonable amount of money providing small and helpful perks like this, than it would be to take the same amount of money and distribute it among the employees as part of their next raise.
Norway's problem is much more manageable because Norway is quite a bit wealthier than the US (53k per capita GDP vs 45k)
But they spend significantly less per person (in total) - it doesn't matter how wealthy they are, if their superior healthcare system costs alot less money per person - it's still superior *and* cheaper.
I'm a resident of the UK who has friends in the US and has visited many times, and I can safely say our public healthcare system is way better than any of the health plans I've ever known an American have - even though we do whine a bit about it over here, we recognise it as pretty damn good.
How many movies and books and other things have been made that focus on everyday things?
Most movies put you through on "introductory" sequence which can last 10, 20, 30 minutes or more and is often boring and mundane buts acts as an introduction to the characters and is necessary to set the scene...
Having a 9mm in someones' hand during the opening credits can make for an action-packed film, but rarely makes one empathise with a character.
One of the best films of the year, 500 Days Of Summer was about JUST everyday things...
If you're experiencing problems with multiple active and time sensitive connections on your home internet connection, I strongly recommend you check your routing equipment before you blame your ISP. Online gaming has a pretty low bandwidth utilisation compared with the kind of traffic that ISPs hate (big downloads, P2P, torrenting etc.) and if you're an online gamer you're probably NOT torrenting at the same time to preserve your connection quality...
I have seen MANY people with what sounds like your usage patterns have problems with routers crapping out, either losing their NAT tables and rebuilding, or just simply hot-rebooting inexplicably... Many of the home/SOHO DSL/Cable router solutions have extremely crappy software that just cannot cope with more than a few simultaneous real time connections, especially to different internal IP addresses.
I'm by no means claiming your ISP is NOT interfering with your traffic, just suggesting that it's not the primary culprit...
Hardly my problem if a credit card company decides to give a credit card to someone masquerading as me... well I spose it depends on the laws of the country you live in, but where I live (the UK) this is the Credit Card companies' fault... and responsibility, not mine.
As a Sandgrown'un (that's a Blackpudlian - someone from Blackpool!) I can assure you that this comment is indeed "Funny" despite moderations to the contrary... classy, Blackpool is not.
Me thinks you have cause and effect mixed up here. People are Olympic runners because they have a body that's optimal for it, not vice versa.
OK, find me a hundred people who run marathons competitively and train for it *regardless of how successful their finishing times* and I will find you 99 people who are not overweight.
I am from the UK, and have visited the US twice... the sockets in both my Memphis and NY hotels on one trip had trouble keeping the plug in - the connection was so loose, and the weight of the cable would eventually pull the plug out of the socket.
In Florida we had a similar problem with the sockets in our villa, where any slight movement of an appliance generating motion on the cord would eventually lead to the plug coming loose in the socket.
Perhaps the scariest thing in all of this is that the plugs, once loose, can sit in a "half in-half out" position, with nice sparks flying around.
we'd already be frantically converting to electric and natural gas cars, since gas would be at least $5 a gallon.
Why? Here in the UK, the price of "gas" (petrol) at my local forecourt is $7.91 (converted to US$) - and we're not frantically moving to anything except marginally more efficient diesels, and generally bigger heavier chassis...
By allowing the e-mails to be stored on their servers, I haven't conveyed that I care any less about their private contents, because I didn't have a choice.
This is incorrect - you had a choice to host your own email server (doesn't cost a great deal) on which you could encrypt your data stores. You chose not to and went with a commercial email provider for... cost reasons? If you're not prepared to spend real money protecting/securing your documents and feel it's only worth $FREE$ then you are conveying, pretty strongly, that you don't really care about their contents.
Not that I agree with the judges decision, but this line is bolsheviks...
The US government does have issues with corruption, but it's not any worse that most places... take a looksy at all those African nations that have ultra riches in minerals but mysteriously can't find the money to pay for food for their own people
You mean like the nation of The US of A - which is financing two foreign wars right now, but has food deserts in all its' major cities, where the poorest people cannot buy healthy food and so are left with a diet that makes them obese, ill and sends them to a VERY early grave with a reduced quality of life? It also fails to provide healthcare for these citizens too...
You may not have pictures of bony children with enormous bellies - so the message isn't as "emotionally" strong - but having people obese and dying from their poor diets everyday is almost as bad.
explain to me, what exactly would have happened to Madeleine McCann if she was wearing one of these when abducted ?
She would have been very uncomfortable going to bed that night (just like every other night she was forced to wear a large, uncomfortable watch to bed), been unable to sleep, and her parents would have been unable to irresponsibly leave her alone without any supervision.
Most likely this would have resulted in her not being kidnapped - but the diseases she got from organisms trapped between her skin and a sweaty watch non-stop for years at a time killed her anyway.

Opera 10.0 Released
·
· Score: 1
I'm still using: Opera Version 10.00 Beta 3 - but that page renders, and resizes perfectly on my machine with rapid dragging etc... maybe a little slow to redraw but looks fine.
Not got the full public release of Opera 10 to the public yet, but it would be a shame if a bug fix in the beta build has somehow failed to make its way to production.
As a cast member in a web series (Break A Leg) we have been struggling not to gain an audience, respect, or critical acclaim since we have all of that. We just need money.
Having just looked at your website, I can't see anywhere that I could pay to get access to your episodes. I can't see anywhere I could pay to get a DVD. Assuming that you're giving away your product for free (seriously? then complaining about cashflow?) I also can't see anywhere that I can pay to have an enhanced experience of some kind.
Have you considered actually... y'know... *CHARGING* for access to watch the shows? Like giving away eps 1-3 from a series for free, then charging $1 an episode after that? Or letting viewers watch the first X minutes of each episode then 50 cents for the rest? Or selling a DVD with added-value material that SERIOUS fans would appreciate like commentary, actor/cast bios, extra bits to flesh out personalities, "deleted scenes", extra scenes, mini-episodes fleshing out a real one etc?
If the first thought that enters your head is "people won't pay money to watch our series" then perhaps your series isn't compelling enough? But assuming it *is* compelling and appealing it seems to me that you need someone with a commercial brain to work out how best to monetize it... I bet you have some "experts" or talented and/or experienced people in their field for certain roles like costume, scriptwriting, make-up, camerawork, soundwork, editing.. acting etc... so why not someone talented/experienced in commercial aspects?
Today the GDP of the US is five times that of the UK.
Strange that, given that the population of the US is also around five times that of the UK.
In terms of GDP Per Capita (a far more useful measure) the US leads the UK by around 4-7% (approx) depending on who you believe. That is pretty incredible, given the amount of land and natural resources available to the US, and the dearth of them in the UK.
If you think you have to hire web developers in the city where you live, you don't understand the web.
If you think you can just hire web developers in some random remote city/country and have your project run just fine, you don't understand how to manage web development projects.
How does my Adblock/NoScript usage hurt the websites that I vist?
1] They may be using Google Analytics or another JS-based in browser stats tracking program. f they do, and a significant proportion of their users have NoScript their site will report significantly lower viewership figures than reality - this will affect their ability to market to larger companies (who may want eABC or similar auditing, many of which are based on JS-required methods) who demand minimum traffic levels before considering spending money with the site creators. 2] They may be paid by an advertiser on a per-impression basis to serve adverts - in this case they would get paid no money for your visits. 3] They may advertise their own services/cross sell to other products they provide which you will now never be aware of - meaning you can never choose to purchase them (hurts both of you). 4] They may have a cost per click campaign so good and so relevant to you that you may click on it if you could see it - by not seeing it, and not clicking it, they miss out on the revenue.
Finally, why would you *NEVER* click on ads? I very rarely do myself, but from time to time, I do see stuff online that's relevant to me. Why *ON EARTH* would you not click in those scenarios?
You should be testing IE in the environment in which your site visitors will be running it - on Windows.
Testing Safari on Windows is very different to testing Safari on MacOSX - if your objective is to catch issues before the public would see them, you need to test browser Y on OS Z - not just browser Y on any old OS.
If Microsoft *did* release IE for Linux, that is ANOTHER browser/OS combination I would have to test for.

A large number of upgrades/changes in infrastructure & platform are actually driven with the primary goal of decreasing cost base.
