Any interpreted scripting language worth its salt usually provides a code-string running mechanism. It's one of the primary benefits of being an interpreted, as opposed to compiled, language. If you're already interpreting uncompiled code, what's more uncompiled code in the mix?
I would expect that, given that in most P/S cameras, there's an LCD constantly running. I get pretty good life out of my Nikon D70 as well, although the battery has had a problem with low temperatures.
I could agree with that, on a freedom-of-culture sort of standpoint. I'd still say that there does need to be some control period, however, although the current implementation is far too long.
These things are free (or about as close you can get to it) so its not like its some propriety item they bought and are trying to get more features out of.
I disagree. It is quite like an item they bought and are hacking to get more features out of-- the only difference is the price.
If a provider is detrimentally underpricing an item on just the hope-- and no more certainty than that-- that people will use their other related more expensive items or methods to make up the cost, than that company is the one to blame if their business model crashes from the obvious flaw. I might agree that it's "a shame" (although I don't really have the background to say), but I don't really think one should blame the individuals for taking ownership of a device that was willingly given to them.
If the word were actually absorbed, there wouldn't still be resistance to it, especially among the relevant group. This is still in the introductory stage, and I personally hope the "antibody" of real English prevails, because, yes, using "virii" makes you look like a pretentious script-kiddie twit.
Really, I don't see a future for the word "virii" as jargon. It's not a "shortcut word", or a more specific replacement for another word. It's just a 1:1 replacement with no real added value.
Perhaps my work is intended as a time- or space-limited experience. Perhaps I wanted to only release a special limited edition. Copyright isn't just about commerce, it's about granting control to creators and the right to distribute as they see fit.
I would have to say that if you're going to criticize any holiday for consumerism, Halloween is probably the least. Compare it with the gifting orgy of Christmas, the "buy me love" fest of Valentine's day, and the complete card-sale fabrications like Fathers', Mothers', Secretaries', etc., and some candy and a costume is rather tame. What's more, the halloween costuming aspect at least gives people a chance to engage their imagination and creativity. Yeah, there'll always be those that buy a plastic lobster-bib that says "I'm Superman(tm), no, really" on it for godawful-dollars, but I've seen (and been) plenty more that will take the time to make something crafty and original for themselves or their children.
(Yeah, this thread is old and dead, but I'm getting in on the coattails of a post I made)
I don't think you'd need to go as far as not allowing home-printed passes. It's just, like the old Web-programming adage, a matter of never trusting user input. Make the *only* thing that anyone involved in the security process looks at be the serial number, which is a database key to all the legitimate information in the ticketing system. Unless they can hack the database, or rig up corroborating false ID (a completely separate threat and issue) that number is all that is needed to either confirm or deny them.
Set this up with a universally deployable reader/lookup system, and the problem's solved.
Y'know, I've found myself getting to the point where I want to make a page of "FLEB's 100 Stock Editorials About Copyright", then just reference them by number. It's always the same old misconceptions and the same old lousy arguments (ntm the analogies).
Of course, then I just remember that old quip about arguing on the Internet, and I calm down a bit... then I realize what an empty shell it is that composes my life...::sob::
Yep. I only have sympathy for this guy inasmuch as I do for anyone who naively shoots themselves in the foot. Although the message itself may have needed to be said, some basic tactics to make himself a legitimate informer more than an enabler should have been put into place. He could have written a tutorial, made his generator put an obvious watermark or obvious fake airline on the "pass". It's quite well known that there are laws against forgery, and I would think it possible that making a tool for forgery might just violate laws-- and that possibility should be looked into before publishing such a tool.
It's the equivalent of checking for gas leaks with a lit match. Yeah, gas leaks are bad, but he was the dumbass who blew the situation up.
Assuming you're not patching from the Line Out to the Line In with an analog cable (if you're just using the soundcard's "record wave" mode), would it be running it through the DAC or ADC?
Parody is fair use as regards copyright. This is a straightforward intent to deceive, which is pretty much what Trademark law is around to prevent. Also, apart from Osama Bin Laden being the default entry, an exact replica has very little chance of being considered parody.
Bull. You make one that puts a trivial "SPECIMEN" or "FORGERY" watermark on it, or just replaces the NWA logo (and thus gets around any other forgery/trademark issues that may arise, as well). It would still be pretty obvious.
It's settled, then. What we need is a renegade lawyer on the edge. Two days from retirement. His partner's dead, his wife left him for a terrorist kidnapper, and he's out for justice... First Amendment justice. And yes... oh, yes... he's blogging.
I would think it has to do with the right to a fair trial. If there's at least a baseline standard, no one can argue that their incompetent "attorney" violated that right.
Of course, the problem is that the law itself is too complex and convoluted, considering that we need professionals singly versed in the law to argue arcane gray-areas, in order to facilitate what's supposed to be the universal social contract. "Ignorance of the law is no excuse", but then again, ignorance of the law is damn near inevitable.
OTOH, people are assholes, and if the law didn't caulk all the cracks with specific language, they'd just find new, unrestricted ways to be assholes.
Basically, I feel about law the same way I feel about economic systems-- I haven't seen a good one yet, but what's there is about the best of the lousy ones.
This is something, though, which should be negotiated in employment contracts. This is talking out my ass here, but I don't believe that there're any states in the US (your nation may vary, void where prohibited, see law for details) that implicitly consider off-clock/off-site work as "work for hire". This is less a matter of copyright as an issue of you freely signing away your rights in an employment contract.
Still, though, the decision whether to be derivative-friendly or not is, and should be, in the hands of the person who created and controls that work. If you use the stepping-stool of someone else's claimed-copyrighted work to achieve, then you have an obligation to see if they're willing to give you that boost, or else you're under the threat that they might not permit it. Them's the rules, and there's always the path of making something totally original.
I wouldn't see it being out of the question. A more information-based society and growing population densities might mean that people with this ability are able to be more successful in performing everyday tasks. Of course, the degree to which that affects reproduction quantity may mitigate the advantage to some extent.

"I feel a circular reference coming on."
I detect a slight agenda in your lesson plan.

How do we know it was actually 16 pages? Perhaps we're just being deceived.
Well, first you go to freeipodsupermania.com...
or to 0 if you want the close button only at the right hand side of the tab bar.
(where 0 = 3)
And Lik-Sang should be within their rights to dispose of products which they own as they wish.
True.
