British airways actually breached the terms of it's deal with the government when it disposed of the concordes. BA bought the planes for 1 Pound from the government on the understanding that if they discontinued service they would sell the planes to another operator for the same. BA refused to sell the planes to Virgin and took steps to dispose of them before Virgin could take action to enforce the deal.
As I understand it copyrights can only be transferred by contract where there is explicit language transferring the copyright. Sco was arguing for an "implied" transfer which as far as I know isn't allowed in copyright law. Therefore everybody's testimony is irrelevant absent an agreement which explicitly transfered the copyrights to Sco.
Caldera knew this when they bought the unix business from the Santa Cruz Operation - They were asked if they planned to opensource unix at the conference call and said they'd like to but didn't have the necessary copyrights to do so.
I believe they are stretching definitions to the limit if not beyond :
"The duty to carry does not mean that a carrier is never justified in refusing to provide service. It is well established that "if goods are not of the character that the carrier transports he may refuse carriage." Gorton, Supra at 109. Yet, the reasons for refusal are very limited and related to potential damage to other's goods, or to unreasonably high risks for the carrier in its capacity as insurer, or are beyong the reasonable capacity restraints of the carrier." http://www.cybertelecom.org/notes/common_carrier.htm
The cost to individual states of non compliance with the GATS is the loss of all federal grant money. Of course the feds won't enforce this while they are currently opposed to online gambling.
Scalia gives me a headache... I read an interview with him once where he was complaining about courts "Making up rights" that "weren't listed in the constitution" - I pretty much gave up on him at that point.
err... their country is called "The republic of china" not to be confused with "The peoples republic of china"... they're thinking about changing it though.
I'll drop a little rant that might get googled by someone with a say someday: How about letting subscribers program a channel or ten? Think submitting iTunes playlist "set" and people can go online to rate play lists for air play. Those with the highest rating get played in the next block. You can limit the catalog to fit the channel.
Sounds like a cool idea... but record companies probably charge a higher royalty rate for interactive music services.
Sodium hypochlorite is a strong oxidizer. Products of the oxidation reactions are corrosive. Solutions burn skin and cause eye damage, particularly when used in concentrated forms. However, as recognized by the NFPA, only solutions containing more than 40% sodium hypochlorite by weight are considered hazardous oxidizers. Solutions less than 40% are classified as a moderate oxidizing hazard (NFPA 430, 2000).
While the SEA may not have expanded the number of regulated substances, the ATF has teamed up with the CPSC to put chemical owners out of business. Basically they come in, dig through your records until they found that you sold somebody the right combination of chemicals to make an explosive, whether they were on the same order or months/years apart and then they sue you in federal court until you cave in and agree to only sell to people with explosives permits.
Yeah I'm sure that John Edwards is behind the homeland security stalking checmical suppliers and shutting them down. No explosives permit - no checmicals for you.
Well the name "Criminal Database" sure sounds like a list of Criminals... being arrested is not itself a crime and doesnt make you a criminal you have to be charged, tried and convicted first.
Displaying something in a store is not an offer to sell it. Picking it up and presenting it to the cashier is an offer to buy it however. The contract is not fully formed until the cashier accepts your offer to purchase. Oddly enough most stores ring up your purchases before they ask for payment method.
Crap I must have violated those a bunch of times when I bought my first color printer and had to write software to drive it... this was probably nearly 20 years ago. You'd think that if there were such a patent it would have expired long ago given that computer driven CMYK printing has been around for a long time relatively speaking.

Right and in order to do that, they decided to label incompatible devices in the same way instead.
How is Microsoft doing something utterly incomprehensible supposed to "beat apple at their own game ?"

I think the opposite is actually true. Without common carrier status ISPs are not shielded from liability for their customers traffic.

Overrated ? I was asking what the guys point was.
Massive lobbying campaigns by incumbent telcos, who in some cases even bought laws prohibiting such municipal systems.
Because Europeans are already digging trenches ?
I've got a bunch of Caldera Open Linux Cds somewhere.
As somebody once said :
... Socialism however is the other way around.
Capitalism is the system where man exploits man

There's no country called Taiwan either but that doesn't stop anybody.

Yeah SSDD !
They revoked a local gun dealers license for errors on gun paperwork from 20 years ago - they're relentless.

There's patents for RGB->CMY(K) conversion ?

Depends on what kind of Crash you're involved in. Many accidents have had 100% survival rates despite the aircraft having been totalled.
Yes I do understand the meaning of the finding.
My point was that neither situation as described seemed to merit the killing of one person by another.
