"And text, well, text is even worse because it is easiest of all to steal. " The problem w/ this is that p2p networks aren't being used to trade text. they're being used to trade movies and music. so, while p2p may have the power to kill text publishing (given his parasite assumption, which is the most interesting and insightful part of the article), it doesn't have the interest.
it would probably take reproducing a lot of X functionality. wouldn't this produce a program like Mozilla, that started out small but got large once all the features everyone wanted were implemented?
Plus, yes, you would have to port everything, unless you built a compatibility layer into your gui. but building this layer would make your gui not-so-pico, and you'd have to code back in a lot of X stuff.

"When a contract debtor defaults, the contractor supplying labor or material can elect to either sue the debtor on the promise to pay or proceed against the property. "
but you say you want $$$. mech's leins are only on the property that the mech is working on (ie your care, etc). if you're trying to get compensation, i don't think mech's leins are the way to go.
"O'Connor said that she may well be convinced that
the 1998 law is bad policy, but the Court obviously doesn't do
policy."
This isn't true. They don't make laws, but policy decisions are at the very heart of the law. Policy is what determines whether a law is good or bad.
In deciding whether to award attorney's fees to clients that don't win as much as they were offered in an offer of judgement (Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 68) in civil rights actions, the policy of encouraging settlement (it's economically good for the country, as it keeps frivolous lawsuits from wasting the court's time) is in conflict with the policy of having the court make decisions on civil rights cases for the betterment of the country (it gives guidance to lower courts in the future).
So policy is addressed by the SC. If they wanted to say that it's important that people have access to old books, they could certainly do that. In fact, if that's what right for the country, that's their job.

"The displayed data is rendered invisible by doing away with a light-polarising screen from the front of the monitor..... In the IDK system, the polarising filter is effectively moved from the screen to the pair of glasses worn by authorised computer users."
This is possibly the most insecure security measure ever. How hard would it be to, never mind buy your own pair of glasses, but to just make them from an old laptop screen? Sheesh . . .
It seems to me that Thomas Greene and his ilk are trying to make like the DMCA really isn't such a big deal.

that's what the english word means. if it's an english dictionary you're not looking at the german word, and hence your post is irrelavent. on the other hand, that's not to say michael didn't intend to use the english word.

a transaction in which one side gives nothing is not a sale. it's a gift. the patent is for sales.
clients may be able to sue anyone no matter how specious, but lawyers can't make frivolous claims.
See Rule 11 of Fed Rules of Civ Proc. Lawyers should be the gatekeepers to the court.
Unfortunately, when the patent office awards a patent it's not frivolous to sue under it.
the problem IS NOT the lawyers -- it's the patent office not doing their job of reviewing prior art.
all they have to do if it does go to court is drop it.
in reply to the other comment that's in reply to this parent -- the english rule brings its own set of problems, too.

it's odd that nytimes says the main proposed use is in the corporate world, while wired mentions dorms. audience demographics?

Sue 'em. It's the only thing you're really entitled to do, and it should send the message you want to send.
