In Europe we do have other provisions though. In Europe most jurisdictions have a closed system where exceptions to copyright are codified as law. Exceptions have to conform to the Berne three-step test. By codifying conformity is checked by the legislative power. In the US fair use is an open system and conformity with the Berne three-step test is checked on a case by case basis by the judiciary.
It is a basic illustration how Common Law and Continental Law use different mechanisms to implement largely the same end results/
Wacken Open Air, a German festival and one of the largest metal festivals in the world, banned circle pits in 2010. Luckily they recanted. I'm looking forward to this year's edition.
The location of the plant in Priolo Gargallo is not that far from the Sahara. It's actually a little more south than the northernmost part of the Sahara in Tunesia, which is roughly 250 miles west of the plant. The solar radiation will be roughly equivalent, no need for undersea cables. Most importantly Sicily is a (slightly) more stable region that does not rely on income from oil like many of the North Sahara states.
I second this. Or get the i-pac, some joysticks and buttons from the ultimarc site and put it in an mdf board. 2 hours work to create the joypad, many hours of bubble bobble fun to follow.
I still intend to make a full mame cabinet, but for now just the joypad is finished.
Of course, without extensions there isn't much that sets firefox apart from chrome except for the license. Some purists will prefer firefox for that reason but it's pretty much a coin toss.
I suspect the problem to be more subtle though. Possibly a change in the useragent string of firefox 3.5 that was not picked up correctly or something like that.
For common law people, it's all copyright. The term is 70 years after the maker's death.
In the EU, there are more kinds of copyright. Author's rights are different from performer's and producer's rights. The author's rights already were 70 years. The performer's and producers's rights were "only" 50 years. To a non-lawyer, this was hard to explain.
It's much more logical to award everybody the same protection. That's what happened. I would have preferred if they made our copyright a uniform lower term, but at least it is uniform now.
In our copyright code it is expressly permitted to make a copy of music or movies for one's own use, practice or study. This copy may be made from any source, legal or illegal. The source has no effect on the legal status of the copy.
So not only is it not illegal to copy these works, it is even perfectly legal. However, copying software without permission is almost always illegal.
They did. In europe, both Fujitsu Siemens and MSI registered netbook trademarks of their own: amilo netbook and wind netbook. I'm sure they would have registered netbook if it wasn't already taken
However, many jurisdictions including Europe rule that a registered trademark has to be in genuine use. If it has not seen genuine use, it can be revoked (art 15 and 50 of Council Regulation (EC) No 40/94.
I suspect that is also the reason for the late C&D. This ground for revocation of a trademark can be repaired. However, there is usually a grace period (3 months for a Community Trademark, art. 50 CE 40/94). I would not be surprised to find that Psion started using the trademark again a little over three or six months ago. That would mean they had to wait until now to C&D without risk to their trademark.
NB: although I'm an IP lawyer in Europe, this is _not_ legal advise.
I learned assembly when I was eleven. BASIC when I was nine. All on a commodore 64.
I know you're joking, but at the same time you're condescending. Unlike my generation, children today are exposed to computers from birth. Given an intelligent and interested kid, there's no reason he or she cannot learn a low level language like asm. For them it's like playing with lego.
This was on the radio here yesterday. Allegedly IPv6 is hit worse than IPv4.
The migration to IPv6 was cited as the reason for full(?) disclosure now. As there is no fix at the moment it was to prevent people migrating to IPv6 and worsening the problem.
My reaction was like most people here: yeah, right. No fix. Sure.
I agree. The work was not finished, and calling it 4.0 creates expectations. In the article, the kde devs say they communicated it was not to be taken as finished. But their most potent statement, the version number, says something different.
It continues to make that statement. Big distributions as kubuntu and opensuse offer kde4.0 as a default choice. Not because they don't understand 4.0 isn't ready, but because the demand is there. People will pass if the latest version is not available. If the goal is to make a successful desktop, communication like a major version number should be aimed at the end users, not at the developers.

Turn off aero and you'll find the experience actually quicker each iteration above vista.
Just don't expect to be able to use new features on old hardware.
Spam was a problem ten years ago. Get with the times.

The idea isn't new: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_Lievense (Dutch only, I'm afraid)
The Belges lack the geology to implement this without an artificial island.
Could as easily be a company. Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Baidu, IBM et al are all able to pull this off.

Not a differential, but two: an adder-subtractor.

Yup, but when it rains it pours. Then the cloud is down the drain.
Yup. But it means the engine delivers roughly 10% more power or 10% less fuel consumption than a comparable "normal" engine. So it's significant.
Last time I tried this (admittedly some time ago), maximizing a window maximized it over both my screens. That's a dealbreaker.
Or use a clean firefox without extensions.
Of course, without extensions there isn't much that sets firefox apart from chrome except for the license. Some purists will prefer firefox for that reason but it's pretty much a coin toss.
Right on: firefox relative usage peaks during weekends, IE dips during the weekends. It's easily visible in the graphs: http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-ww-daily-20080701-20090707
I suspect the problem to be more subtle though. Possibly a change in the useragent string of firefox 3.5 that was not picked up correctly or something like that.
Actually, it was broken, or at least too complex.

Gmail is the beta for the Google Apps mail component. It's not likely that it will ever come out of beta status: it being beta has a function.

There are victors and losers in any game. There's no need to go to war.

Why should the BIOS care which OS is installed? That is backwards. The OS should work with whatever is underneath it.
