Which leads me to wonder... What happens when, say, Neil Gaiman, logs on to City of Heroes and creates "Dream"? (Gloss over the artist/author rights, please.)
If EULAs are binding contracts, has he just signed away his property rights?
ObOnTopic: Gladius just grabbed my SO, -hard-. Kohan and Age of Wonders have also been hits.
Puzzle games have always been all she liked, previously. Neither of us care for twitch/kill games. But we've had a hell of a time -finding- multiplayer games. Console games seem to all be single player, or sporting/fighting.
Why not convert? Because RGB and CYMK aren't just two ways of representing the same thing. They're partially overlapping sets of colors. So there are CYMK colors you can't represent at all in RGB, and RGB colors you can't represent at all in CYMK. You can convert, but that's far from ideal.
I don't think they're mutually exclusive. I do think they're orthogonal. Any real task is likely to partake of both to some degree, though perhaps heavily of one and little of the other.
If most CS people feel their skills are primarily logical, they might shy from a task that required strong creativity.
More incentive? I'd say not. Power seems very desirable, to judge by the number of already wealthy who seek it.
One advantage financial transactions have over electoral transactions is verifiability. Each pair of parties in a transaction will ensure their end happens properly. And stays that way. A vote is cast into the void, with no good way to ensure that it stays cast.
Because the GPL agreement adds rights, whereas most shrinkwrap agreements subtract rights from those provided by US law.
A contract that I 'freely' enter into, in which I agree to become your property would be legally invalid, as an example. Certain rights cannot be waived. Not that I think the rights involved are inalienable, just that they shouldn't be so easily and totally abbrogated.
The arguement that you own the CD, but must be given additional rights to copy it to your computer, or into memory, is specious. US Law provides that such acts as required for basic use of a purchased product are not cases of copyright infringing behavior.
I'm afraid you are. The contents of messages/conversations are what's protected. The government can watch who you call/mail at will. To tap a call or open an envelope requires a warrant. (At least mostly, and pre-PATRIOT.)
Gator may be unsavory, but it looks to me like this lawsuit is yet another display of cluelessness by the Powers That Be. It ranks up there with deep linking in my sight.
Displaying pop up ads over web sites without publisher's permission...
So when I'm browsing in multiple windows, and a background page pops up an ad over top of someone else's page, that could be a violation of trademark law? (this is a far fetched analogy, but:)
At best, it(Gator) is one program watching and responding to the actions of a separate program.
To my way of thinking, this isn't invasion of privacy. When you publicize the availability files on a p2p network, you've destroyed that defense. It's the same as declaring an open house.
Where are you going? Finland or New Zealand are where I'm looking.
Erm, DeCSS was designed to allow playback of DVD data. Copying can be done all day and night without ever thinking about DeCSS. It's when you want to play the DVD, original or copy, in anything other than a licensed player (hardware or software) that you need DeCSS. And it happened because there was NO licensed player for Linux.
So the analogy you refute seems pretty good to me. Modification that allows unlicensed media to run on protected hardware, versus modification that allows media to run on unlicensed hardware, roughly.

A redundant array of inexpensive displays, perhaps?

Funny, I feel the same way about people who use PHP. They seem to have no concept of variable types, or memory allocation, or anything. *g*
On the other hand, I only feel like I have a handle on about half of the concepts you mention - care to suggest a good place for me to learn more?
Gamecube - poly friendly. :)
PS/2 - monogamists only?

Does that remove whatever exclusivity you saw?

581102 is -obviously- not prime! Come on. ;)
In America...
They already came for the Japanese.
They already came for the Communists.
Now, they're coming for the terrorists and/or Arabs.
We're further down the list than you might think.
On Slashdot, roads troll you.
From my understanding of the BSA:
Yes, they do.
If man is still alive. :)
For exporting data, you might investigate Datablox.
So, Microsoft's program of quickly released, well documented patches is being cancelled?
Cuius testiculous habes, habeas cardia et cerebellum.
I'd say a handful would equal two average males, or three smaller ones.
One woman is always a handful, in and of herself.

As it so happens, in the US: It's less legal to own protection (bullet-resistant garments) from guns than to own guns.
If you think about it long enough, it makes sense from the Law Enforcement point of view.

Burst, versus sustained.
Sort of like a TV, no?
I suspect my politics line up with yours, but...

But 128kbs is indistinguishable from CD quality, dontchewknow?
If you want superior quality, we have this new format that just happens to be copyproof.
Hmm. I quoted a .us, you quoted a .net. I don't have my copy of Hoyle's handy, but I think my link trumps yours. :)
Seriously, I'm not up to finding primary documentation, are you? As it stands, neither of us can claim to know.
