Company discovers there is an individual that created some kind of web presence. Company does not like the content or direction of said web presence. Company tries to work with individual, gets nowhere. Well, the comany (Obama's campaign) didn't try to work with the individual. That's how it's different.
The campaign pretended to work with him, until they could screw him over.
When I buy an album or a movie, I am not buying a "license." Unfortunately you are. And what of the DRM on XP and Vista? Funny, I wasn't aware that they were albums or movies.
I would say that you made a nice example of selective quoting, but you couldn't even get that part right. You probably should have said "no [...] registry".
No magical black box registry
the/proc filesystem? That's a "registry" if I ever saw one. Could you explain how it's a "magical black box"?
And you know what? Everything in it shows up as (wait for it..) files - which was kind of the point of the message you replied to.
Clearly, prior art is not one of them - even if "the concepts in those patents were clearly discussed and published by others prior to the patent being filed" Come on, while VoIP concepts may have been discussed, it's quite clear that nobody would have thought of implementing them on the internet.
I'm just saying why they think they have a case. That's the problem - they don't have a case - they're filing the lawsuit because they have more money that the defendant, and want to use a bogus lawsuit to shut them down.
There is nothing in the DMCA or copyright law that supports this action, and Blizzard knows it. As pointed out elsewhere, their filing contains wholely fabricated statements (like "warden" being a copyright protection device) whose only purpose can be to make the suit look plausible to the court, in the hopes of killing off a legitimate program.
This is just like the bnetd suit - lie to the court in the hope that they court will do what you cannot.
key words that are trademarked being bought by a company that does not own the trademarks. Your example of a car dealership would not apply because a Toyota dealer sells Toyotas So you're saying that a Toyota dealer owns the "Toyota" trademark?
Trademarks are typically owned by the manufacturer of a product, not a reseller.
using another program or set of programs to circumvent the code that Blizz uses to try and stop people from using bots and other hacks violates the DMCA...And it's hard to see how they're wrong Actually, it's pretty easy to see how they're wrong.
Unless you can point out where the DMCA says anything about bots.
Agree with the DMCA or not, this is a "valid" use of it. Only if by "valid" you mean "completely unreasonable and wrong".
since the former tenant was family the police are calling it a family feud. Thus, they won't issue the subpoena to Craigslist so that the lady can try and press criminal charges That's insane. Why would the relationship have any bearing on whether a crime has been committed or not?
Do the cops there just say "oh, it's a family fued" when they're called to some guy beating the shit out of his wife? Or when an adult child attacks their parent with a knife?
If that's true, the cops need to be fired and replaced with people who will actually, y'know, do the job.
So thinks the gorilla: "We don't really know how Humans thought processes would work but we do have a fair idea of the physical practicalities of moving from one jungle to the another and based on that it's very hard to see why any human would simply come over to our group to watch us and then go away again."
Energy savings or not, I like the extra hour of daylight in the evening. It's extra time to play ball, take the dog for a walk or just let my kid play outside. So why don't we all just keep the clocks an hour ahead, and get that "extra hour" all year round?
The user wants to put a CD in and install it. While he may log in as an administrator to do it, he is still a USER, and as far as the USER experience goes, this is a user task.
The transmission in my car died. I need to rebuild it. Rebuilding a transmission is the job of a mechanic, and requires mechanical skill.
I'm not a mechanic - but if I want to do it myself, then it suddenly ceases to be a mechanical task?
Funny...I guess I missed it where anyone in the Bush admin (by the way, I'm not a fan) said the Iraq war due to 9/11. Just because you missed it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Perhaps you ought to actually find out about something before you comment on it:
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, some of us didn't. I think there are -- there's been a debate, obviously, and we've got a lot of folks who don't believe that there was any kind of a relationship there between al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein. I think the record is abundantly clear that Saddam Hussein was, in fact, a prime sponsor of terror.
I witnessed an interview in which Cheney said "we have evidence that Saddam Hussein was directly involved with 9/11"
Hardly any of the stations (even the popular ones) play RIAA music. Yes, and this is exactly why the RIAA wants them to die - they're competition for the existing cartel.
I believe it mainly is age discrimination here. And I belive he's a whiner who was doing something wrong and got justly canned for it.
His lawyer even cites two people making snu-snu on a desk at IBM and they were just transferred. Unless you can show that these two people "just" got transferred after receiving a warning, then maybe you have an argument. Until then, you're comparing apples and oranges.
There are roughly six times as many whites in the US as there are blacks. According to the FBI statistics, they split the murder statistics equally...making a black person six times more likely to commit murder than a white person. No, it makes a black person six times more likely to be convicted of murder than a white person.

If PJ is a front for IBM, that means that every Linux user owes SCOX $699 per cpu!

I actually liked Evolution.
Although the ending was a little lame, overall it was pretty good for light comedy fare.

Perhaps he felt that the assertions were self-evident. After all, the people who drafted the GPL felt there was enough of a difference that they drafted the GNU Free Documentation License.
No, those would be moo-ons. Muons are something else.
