Those damn things are insatiable. Have you ever seen a 1 that's starved for 0s? It's not a pretty sight, let me tell you... 0s don't seem to have any problem without 1s, oddly enough.
But you can't compare copyright to a brick-and-mortar business - as there are specific laws that govern each of those. Copyright was explicitly codified such that works would go into the public domain - copyright holders knew this going in, but managed to get it extended. Originally, at least in the US, copyright was supposed to last a maximum of 28 years - one 14-year term and one 14-year extension. This was known going in, so I see it from the other direction - copyright owners who attempt to extend this term to ludicrous lengths (such as we have today) are effectively stealing from every single person in the country.
If you want your heirs to benefit after you die, it's your place to provide for that. Why should the government have an interest in making sure your heirs benefit?
I used TGA when I was building graphics for a Chyron Maxine. The system supported importing BMP, TIFF, or TGA, and I always had the least problems when I fed the Maxine an RGBA TGA.
Try October 1977-January 1992. This means that some of the earliest 2600 games will enter PD long before the majority of the system's catalog, as there were three months betweem the 2600's introduction and the earliest date covered by the Bono Act.
Do you enjoy spam? With network neutrality, it becomes illegal for ISPs to block spam.
Good. I don't want my ISP making decisions as to what mail I can get, based on an imperfect filtering algorithm. I think that spam filtering should be an optional service ISPs are able to provide, rather than something that is done across-the-board and that affects all customers, willingly or not.
Personally, I have no issue with a "no kids" policy for any business. I was merely compromising with those who say that a "no kids" policy is inherently wrong.
Here's the way I'd handle the situation you bring up - if the orders have not been brought to the table, then they pay nothing but get nothing, and the food stays in the back. This would also apply to appetizers (so, for example, if they ordered appetizers, received them, and then were removed before they received their meals, then they would pay only for the appetizers). However, if the orders have been delivered, then they pay on the way out (I'd also allow them to pack the food into takeout containers, of course, so as not to rip them off). That way, there are no free meals. Yes, you'll have some wasted food, but as I understand it food goes wasted every day anyway (people sending incorrect orders back to the kitchen, for example).
Well, you could have a policy where unruly kids (and the entire party they are with) will be removed from the restaurant. Then, if a kid gets out of hand, the parents can deal with him/her after they've been removed.
I dunno, in my area I've been hearing these PSAs on the radio that are basically saying "parents, don't allow your kids to drink at all, not only is it a bad idea, but it's the LAW".
Arbitrary code != unsigned code. Arbitrary code simply means code that is not intentionally executed by the user. For example, a form of arbitrary code would be code inside of a data structure, which XPSP2 can already protect against (either utilizing hardware+software or software-only DEP).
For instance, if you use GPL code internally in an organization, then you don't have to release the code outside the organization. Your internal users must have access to the source, but you don't *have* to release it to the outside world.
No, but your internal users can, and there's nothing you can do to prevent it, legally speaking. And if you modified that code, then the source to those modifications must be released as well.
That's just it - the kernel can't go GPLv3. The license never included the "later versions" clause, so unless you can track down every single contributor (even if they only contributed a minute amount of code) and get their permission to change the license, it won't happen. The Linux kernel will forever be GPLv2, and there's nothing that anyone can do about it.

I think you just satisfied the second half of your sig.

Too bad the NES version of MULE sucks, well, mule balls.
/. needs a (+1, Sarcasm) mod. It looks foolish to call the parent "insightful".
You're joking, right?
It's not spyware any more than the Nielsen TV ratings.
What? Making Wikipedia content part of the database wouldn't mean that other, unrelated documents are suddenly required to be GFDL.
It doesn't matter. Copyright is copyright.

Shrink-wrap licenses are not contracts. There is no consideration, and you don't even see the contract before you have to "agree" to it.
In the context of the original post, I believe it does.

MacTheRipper can remove Macrovision from analog signals?
Who in the hell is streaming uncompressed video around their house?
Too bad, the GPL allows this as long as source is also redistributed and no additional restrictions are in place.
No, but your internal users can, and there's nothing you can do to prevent it, legally speaking. And if you modified that code, then the source to those modifications must be released as well.

Not in all ways - for example, VHS has a longer recording time at the fastest tape speed.
