Remember how the Librarian of Congress announced that jailbreaking your phone was legal
Yes, do you?
Computer programs that enable wireless telephone handsets to execute software applications, where circumvention is accomplished for the sole purpose of enabling interoperability of such applications, when they have been lawfully obtained, with computer programs on the telephone handset.
I'm pretty sure jailbreaking for other networks doesn't fall under application interoperability.
If they dont, and neither points to a known placeholder, "ASK", allow the user to try both and then pick the appropriate one.
How is this supposed to work? I could register facebook.com put up a phishing page that looks exact the same and then if we used your system, how does the user know which one is right?
Y'know what? It may be called "out of line" by someone, but I'd say the O:P operations are the modern-day equivalent of a lunch counter sit-in, or Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat.
Not even close. This is more a bunch of babies pissed they missed nap time, then any sort of civil disobedience ala Rosa Parks/MLK.
the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
The center isn't for-profit, so they're likely ok here.
the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole;
Also hard to claim fair use when it's the entire 33 paragraphs.
the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
Most newspapers are for-profit, so there goes that claim. Hard to sell newspapers when others are giving away your work for free (Yes I"m ignoring the fact the lvrj posted it on their website).
The Republicans couldn't have timed it better. Pillage the economy, let it fail just before the Democrats take office, and two years later when the Dems have halted and begun reversal of the worst economic disaster of all time, the Republicans come in, blaming the Democrats.
Somehow people buy that rhetoric. I guess angry shouting will beat out reasonable discourse nearly every time.
But it doesn't have to be: any random person with 40 different Blu-Ray players and a whole lot of cleverness could potentially figure this out.
Wouldn't it take a random person with 40 different manufacturers keys? Or with 40 devices can you somehow skip the manufactuere key and get the master directly?
So PayPal freezes his account, as they're apt to do randomly and without good reason, and instead of switching to say Google Checkout or Amazon Payments immediately, he just waits till 600k piles up and then complains on the internet?

what are his chances of getting caught? Zero... I sure as hell am not going to turn him in!
Um. . . that's what you just did. Subpoena Geeknet for your ISP, your ISP for you, and you for him. Easy trail to follow.
Hey if Al Gore can get a Peace Prize for Global Warming . . . .
So Canadian Court says pay money
What Canadian court? Unless you for some reason think the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit is actually Canadian.
I'm not sure it's okay that a solider could be out there wielding a rifle that is worth more than his yearly salary.
Equipment is cheap, training is expensive.
. . . till he gets bored of it and it disappears, and all the users are SOL?
slopsbox anyone?

Yes, our market is likely to be used for illegal purposes.
You misspelled guaranteed.

Try harder next time, but I'll give you 1 point for effort.

Let's look:
the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

They've always worked that way.
It's from Phoronix, always take their 'tests' with a titanic-sinking iceberg-sized grain of salt.
My DVR says hi.
Which you paid/pay for.

Pot meet Kettle.
Take some fucking personal responsibility you god damned nitwits.
I think you missed the point entirely, the point is facebook et al are not following their own policies.
"Raisin Daters" is so damned stupid it's hilarious, as it is always is when someone tries to look smart and fucks it up.
It's BadAnalogyGuy, what were you expecting?

Yea I feel bad for him, but he shares the blame.
Are you asserting that books last less than three years
Books may last more then three years, but they're obsolete in a semester when the new revision with 2 word changes comes out.
I dont know if you were trying to be funny or not. I think Spock's head would explode if he tried to analyze female 'logic' of attractiveness.
FFS, the standard Slashdot reply to a new Apple product has made it to the thread. This device just works.
As long as you hold it right.
What good can possibly come from being able to attach rider legislation to a completely and utterly unrelated bill?
Senators being able to say "Look! I got $foo so $local_region can $do_something_stupid" and then get re-elected. Yay Pork.
Why are all these little details suddenly 'leaking' now?
Because people dont really care about bringing somebody down until they're famous or can get in the spotlight as well.
