Remember the Morris Internet Worm? We didn't actually kill it -- we just drove it underground. All this growth of the Internet? It's not us -- it's the worm. You know the various botnets that we can perceive? That's the worm getting cocky. And this last? It's the worm exercising its Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
It's not a cellphone and it isn't tied to being your cellphone. It's an Internet tablet. If you want to use the Internet over your cellphone, great! Just pair with your cellphone's bluetooth and use it as a modem.
The problem is that Congress has created a safe harbor in the DMCA. Youtube can't be sued for copyright violation simply by providing an Internet service, as long as they cooperate with the copyright holder's right to control copying. Since youtube can't tell if somebody owns a copyright on something, requiring them to do so would mean that youtube couldn't exist. Most Internet services couldn't exist. The onus is on the copyright holder to find copyright violations and inform youtube. Congress may have screwed up other parts of the DMCA, but they got this part right.
Youtube is just giving copyright holders the right of prior restraint, at the cost of having to enumerate everything to which they claim copyright.
It's pretty painless to do. You need to have your account details, and you have to jump through a separate hoop for each number, but at least they retain your context from hoop to hoop. Saves you from having to enter your SSN every time.
Why should you be allowed to unlock a phone that you don't own yet? Most carriers in the USA provide a rent-to-own phone for you. Until you've paid the entire cost of the phone, why should you be allowed to walk away from the payments WITH the phone? I don't understand this desire. It's NOT YOUR PHONE until you've gone two years (or whatever) under payments.
Yes, too many people want to delete perfectly fine articles from Wikipedia because they're "not notable". For example, people keep trying to delete the late Rob Levin, who ran the Freenode IRC channel. Poor guy dies and they immediately want to delete him!
a jury does NOT have the option of totally ignoring the law.
A jury does... but judges won't tell a jury that, and they won't allow an attorney to tell the jury that, and they'll even kick you off the jury if they THINK you're going to tell the jury that. Thus your ignorance after your experience as a juror is understandable and intended.
Even if you had a right to jury nullification (which you don't)
Actually, you do, and this is well established in English jurisprudence. William Penn was on trial for preaching Quakerism in the streets. The jury was instructed to convict because he was indeed preaching and it was indeed against the law. The jury refused to convict. The judge sent them back. They still refused. He threw them in jail. They still refused. He put them on bread and water rations. They still refused. Finally he gave up and accepted their acquittal. And ever since then juries have been able to vote according to their conscience rather than the law.
It's also equally well established that you can't tell people about it in the context of a court case (except during jury deliberations). Otherwise you would ALWAYS have lawyers attempting to get the jury to nullify.
Did she? In the usual infringement case, a copyright holder says "Here is my copy, and here is the copy the infringer made. They duplicated the CD and we have a casefull of them. See? They're the same." In this infringement case, the copyright holder said "Here is my copy, she had a copy, and, well, somebody MUST taken a copy from her computer, so we presume that somewhere out there is a copy the infringer made, but we can't prove that any actual infringing copies were made."
The ONLY thing the morons at RIAA will ever understand is a cash flow interruption.
Why do you think they're suing people? CD sales are *way* down. The trouble is that they don't understand that people aren't buying RIAA-associated products because most of them suck. They think that people are stealing the music. So, attacking their bottom line will tell them nothing they don't already know: that people are stealing music that belongs to RIAA members, and that they should sue more thieves.
You don't understand. A jury is told that they must rule based upon the law, and the judge will carefully explain the law to them. Nobody is ever allowed to tell a jury that they are allowed to decide the case however they want. This right is well established in the common law, but if you try to tell a jury, you will get charged with contempt of court. If you are ON the jury, you can tell your fellow jurors.
First, it sounds like this is only a problem because installing 'volatile' is not the default. If it was, then all these machine would now be up to date.
Second, changing the time zone only changes the *presentation* of the time. It doesn't change the time itself. If your software doesn't understand that the presentation of the time is simply a user preference, then your software has a more serious problem.
Hmmmmm..... I tried turning down the moderation level to four, but that just got me the even less funny joke. I fear there is no hope for you. This is Slashdot, after all. What were you sexpecting?
Yeah, but we're nicer than the pretty boys. Then, when they hit 35 and they want to get married, they'll come looking for their nerd. Of course, they'll also say "Oh, Russell, what was I thinking? I let SO MANY great guys slip through my hands." which by "great" she mean "nerdy", of course.
An employer has a limited amount of money with which to compensate employees. The exact structure of counting the labor doesn't affect the pay in the long term. Long herre is about a year.
Nobody can come up with any valid reasons that you see, because you have your eyes shut. Nobody, except a few obtuse people, thinks "Open Source" means that your source code is open for public inspection but that nobody can make changes or redistribute it. There is just SO MUCH reference to the Open Source Definition in parallel with use of Open Source. Words exist for communication. You can use them with any meaning you want, but you fail to communicate when you use them in ways your listener doesn't expect.

Why is "rent-to-own" so hard to understand?
Yes, too many people want to delete perfectly fine articles from Wikipedia because they're "not notable". For example, people keep trying to delete the late Rob Levin, who ran the Freenode IRC channel. Poor guy dies and they immediately want to delete him!
Yeah, I watch the Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty articles, and nearly every edit is either vandalism, a revert or arguably not an improvement.
A jury does
Again, the jury is free to rule on the law rather than the case and say "actual distribution must be required."
Actually, you do, and this is well established in English jurisprudence. William Penn was on trial for preaching Quakerism in the streets. The jury was instructed to convict because he was indeed preaching and it was indeed against the law. The jury refused to convict. The judge sent them back. They still refused. He threw them in jail. They still refused. He put them on bread and water rations. They still refused. Finally he gave up and accepted their acquittal.

So where's the evidence?
Perhaps a "simple RAM failure" isn't so simple to diagnose?

Oink. Oink oink oink oink. Oink grunt grunt oink. Grunt grunt a-grunty grunt, oink. Oink oink oinkity oink.

Lego pieces average a dime each, so with slightly over 5K pieces, yeah, this kit will cost $500.

What you mean "we", Kimosabe? Have you noticed that the smart ones don't work for minimum wage screening airport passengers?
Rain doesn't scare me. I lived in Oregon for two years twenty years ago and still haven't recovered.
Good catch. He almost made a mistake.
