I really enjoy her novels, which I read in print form. Funny thing is I never paid a cent to do so; everything I read of hers I got from the library or borrowed from friends. Good thing she hasn't caught onto my scheme, I get a lot of free stuff that way.
The problem is that a "moderate Muslim" is really an oxymoron. Islamic law very explicitly says that it *must* be applied to every circumstance in life, without exception.
Man, every religion says it must be applied to every circumstance in life. While Islam looks pretty radical today, back in the Dark Ages they were totally the relaxed enlightened society, and it was the Christian world that was a bunch of backwards extremists. I've read most of the Qu'ran, it has plenty of inconsistencies and the Muslim extremists are definitely cherry-picking their quotes out of context and taking advantage of the illiteracy of their followers, just like Medieval Christians leaders did.
That'd be great. But you need to get the other websites; facebook, google, etc onboard too, to make sure "OMG Ponies" gets in the report. This could be sold as a "rebranding" by the Anonymous Overlords, sorta like with Media Sentry or Blackwater.
I agree that for the immediate use listed there is unlikely to be any copyright violations. But if someone were to make a good collection for their lab, that perhaps then became popular in the department, it would start running into copyright gray areas.
For example the university discontinues subscribing to a journal, but articles remain available on a broad intranet system. Normally if you already had a copy of the article that's legit, but now a new student has access to articles that were only available before they showed up.
Or articles are scanned from copyright-legit sources and made available to a large audience, but not as large as the whole web.
My guess is systems like this will be tolerated as long as they aren't very good. And when they become good, they'll be tolerated because everything else is not as good.
Yup, I've got a crude filing system with hundreds of papers that works great because of Spotlight. I don't bother with OCR for older docs, just punch in some keywords in the file description section.
Network drive indexing works if the drive is formatted in HFS+.
I was living in Seoul during the 1988 Olympics, they had banned eating dog and snake to accomodate Western sensibilities. Was riding the bus one day and passed a food cart labeled "chicken", with a four-legged chicken on the spit...
I'm not sure what the situation is these days, but the Koreans have a very long history of disrespecting their government (which was often foreign). Very few countries in the world take the letter of the law, or adherence to one's word, as seriously as Americans do.
Actually, I usually sit on an exercise ball. Coworkers ask me about it every once in awhile, I'm the only one doing this in a fair-sized company. (that I know of) I am totally posting this, just to see the reaction.

All of your examples are for business applications of a work purchased for personal use. And then you conclude derivative personal use is illegal. Besides being really bad logic, it ignores well-established concepts like "Fair Use".
Also, it seems a bit early to declare how copyright works for digital media. Existing laws are far behind the technology, and there is very little legal precedent one way or the other.
from the article:
"Iridium Holdings LLC has a system of 65 active satellites which relay calls from portable phones that are about twice the size of a regular mobile phone. It has more than 300,000 subscribers. The U.S. Department of Defense is one of its largest customers."
The collision occurred over Siberia.
It's not "less regulation". It's less regulation by government on business, but more regulation by business on individuals and other businesses.
This would be less odious if not for the monopolies enjoyed by most ISPs. The combined effect of government enforcing a monopoly and not regulating that business is that the business makes the rules.
Thanks for the link. Here's the letter I sent her:
Hello Senator Feinstein,
I was dismayed to hear of your efforts to undermine net neutrality by inserting language to that effect into the compromise stimulus bill. Allowing ISPs to throttle traffic in the manner described in the bill will do little or nothing to stop the particular offenses described, and harm many legitimate businesses, degrade the usefulness of the internet for all Americans, stifle innovation, and hinder America's ability to compete and thrive in the global market place.
Net neutrality has been a vital component to the success of the internet, and any attempts to legislate limitations on internet traffic should be carefully discussed, with input from representatives of everyone affected, and not just a few lobbyists on one side of the issue. In my humble opinion, if the point of this bill were stimulus for the average American, it would make the internet more accessible and useful. The cable/telecom monopolies would be eliminated as no longer necessary and an obstruction to free market competition. Limits on the size and scope of these companies would be put in place, as well as limits their behavior with customers. The larger companies need more government oversight, and their customers and employees need more protections, because noone but the government can curtail these entities.
Sincerely,
Toby Fernsler

I found Primer rather irritating, it was way too focused on the tech and mostly failed on the character/plot level. I think this problem of overtly displaying the Big Idea is not juist limited to tech, you see it all of the time in movies with a moral, or some clever cinematography. The artist then becomes to focused on that theme and forgets to make it entertaining. Star Trek's "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" is a classic example of doing it right, it's about racial intolerance and has unbelievable technology, but they are just tools towards telling a great story.

mods are slacking today. Lyx looks great, and addresses the article well.
there are consequences for yelling "Church!" in a crowded theatre.
I'd buy that.

much more accommodating to the friendless. And who'd want to be, what with their stinky packages?

The shortcomings of their approach are well described above, and not worth discussing. Meanwhile, a more entertaining error has landed on U2.
Oh, and we're supposed to believe the gun-tottin', ball-lickin' dog is innocent~
