I don't think a computer generated image is often worth more than the paper you print it on. Skills with photoshop or the gimp don't count for crap in fine art nor are they creative.

When I volunteered as a gallery manager and later president of a student organization, I always knew that the paperwork, the communications (newspaper clippings, documentation) by-laws and everything else belonged to the student organization. It was my temporary duty to take care of these things improve them and make sure they would get passed on.
Students who exhibited art at the galleries obviously retained copyright to there work. The physical space often belonged to the university, so there was an overlap of interest in different things with the weakest legal entity being the non-incorporated student organization.
While I don't think that the university owns the website and design I don't think the author does either. If he volunteered his time to create it he cannot seek to take this toy and go somewhere else with it. As the University should have due process so should a student organization and especially a student government.
All that said, I just don't think I have the whole story here, what's this about leet script kids???
Although I did not go to a religious or private school when I had to confront censorship issues during the course of the duties I found that no-one, administration or otherwise held my positions against me personally as long as I never resorted to misinformation in my arguments defending an Artist's exhibit.
All that said the site was a good use of slashcode, I didn't think anything could make student government kind of issues interesting.
You are right that the ultimate threat of force and death is not there.
However some of the same management styles are employed. At the worst companies I've worked for, and I have to stop bitching about these loosers, management tries eveyday to let the employee know that they are not valuable, listing all there "weakpoints" letting them know that they are not in the same class as management. Management goes out of there way to set examples of other people who have left, informing employees of how poorly thay are doing or that they have had there non-compete upheld by a court and the former employeed dismissed by there new employer. The message is clear, you dare not leave.
Basically manipulating a market to take there employees out of it, to keep the price of employee's salary low, to get it so the employee foot the bill for job training as often as possible or they do not recieve any, and manipulating there employees to break their sprit. Thank god these fucks could not hold onto anyone longer than 3 years, too bad they are still whining about how employees have no loyalty and thet they are always disrespected and have to protect themselves.
Gandi took many people with him on a pilgamrage to gather salt from the sea.
He was imprisioned, others were beaten, imprisioned or killed because the salt, the sea and the shoreline "belonged" to the east india company.
Don't tell me corperations can't be deadly, it's pedantric and false. The amount of cynicism from the powers that be is more than you can possibly imagine. That will be a really fucking sad day when CEO's get to pick presidents, It's bad enough that rupert murdock can push the editorial slant of his media empire far beond the "balanced reporting" that is required by law, if in the next election we are not even allowed to vote I'm leaving.
As for who is a better stuard of the resorces of a reagon, well governments have a vested interest in making the resorces last longer than one fiscal quarter but who owns the salt of the sea?
So it took 45 computers to do what amusement parks routinely do with $15,000 worth of custom video equipment? Efficent!

Actually it's made out of metal so it's much denser than those system admins and coders; and you thought nothing could be, ha.
size wise there are two parts two it Size--Flywheel Module 36" high x 27" diameter
Size--Electronics Module
32" high x 18" wide x 12" deep
So volume wise it's about as big as a fat coder chopped into two parts.
I have no Idea what is really approprate for anchoring it and burying it but I imagine it could be done with a fecnced off area smaller than a parking space (like the oxygen/acetline/propane/whatever) gas shack on the side of some buildings for business that need that.

fordparts.com is especially topical because it is not ford but to paraphrase you and merely replace the different trade names
"What is fordparts? Is it anything to do with ford motor company? If so, then they *are* using the "ford" part to play on ford automobiles, and diluting the market value of the brand."
Fordparts.com is probably further over the line you've drawn than aimster and maybe actually legally over the line.
You don't seem to care about what is actually legal. Again all trademark law uses the key concept "confusingly similar" but you are more than willing to believe it is just to strip a domain name from someone without meeting that particular burden of the law.
The broadest interpretation of trademark with the highest consequences for infringement is still using confusingly similar as the burden of what must be proved for trademark infringement

having a skill or object that people are willing to pay money for but you don't intrinsically value often feels like creating money out of thin air.
However in your example you have not "created welth" you've just sold a tree. The amount of money in the eceonomy is exactly the same, you have some more than you had before, someone else has exactly the same amount less and a tree is dead.
Does this set a precedent that you are responsible for what you do as in individual while employed by a company, doing you job? My Ex Manager is going to hate to here about that.

What don't you understand about DVD-RAM and what is non standard about it??
It is almost exactly like a big 5 1/2" floppy
There is single density single sided (2.6GB)
Single desnity double sided (5.2GB)
Double density double sided (4.7GB)
Double density Double Sided (9.4GB)
You can format the disks anyway you want, and write anything you want on them, pretty simple. It's just like a giant floppy, I love mine.
However if you want to make a disk that playes in a dvd player you have to format it UDF, and properly encode the video, Then once the disk is written break it out of it's cart. it should play in any DVD level 3 player (anything made decently in the last 2 years)
The trouble comes in explaining to people how to do this. It also comes in mearly explaining all the other DVD standards, DVD-R(Genral), RW, DVD-R(Authoring).
With the price of CDR media getting close to $0.0061538461538 per megabyte the entire warez economy is showing signs of going into a slump.
The warez economy had been on the upswing as a side effect of the crash of the dot-coms because many employees were given illegal copies of the companies' software as severance.
Economists speculate that the upswing in the warez economy may also have been due to many more dot-commers left with a few weeks of broadband connections previously used to telecommute and no income to buy legitimate software.
With the bad news about CDR pricing on the horizon investors are taking profits from their holdings high-tech stocks associated with warez like MP3.com, hotline.com and Napster. Said one investor "D00Z! 17'S T1ME T0 BA1L! TH3 3L33T M0N3Y 1S 1N B0NDZ!"
President Bush reaffirmed his hands off policy towards the CDR market. Spelling out that there would be no price freezes in CDR the president addressed a gathering of WAR3Z kids and said "WATZ Y0U WAN7 A HAND0U7? LAM3RZ!"
Just a short note on private -vs- public schools I don't know how things have evolved in canada, but most people who arn't involved behind the scenes in american schools would at first glance believe the same thing is true here in America, regarding private sachool teachers being better paid and more compitent than public.
Priivate schoolds cost money and most of the staff have the appearence os being fically helthy and well trained as teachers.
The fact is that Private school teachers tend to be very poorly paid in comparison to public school teachers. Few private school teachers make as much or more than a public school teacher, those that do are normally administraitors.
Private schools are less standardised when it comes to evaluating teachers, often offer little training incentives and pay poorly. The most extream case is catholic schools that may pay below $12,000 a year to a full time teacher, not a nun who lives on campus and took a vow of poverty, but a full time teacher.
Teacher accrediation in private schools is not manditory, many of the assistants or teachers of lesser classes don't need to be accredited at all. Not taking fedral money puts the school farther away from standardization.
Some private schools may be diffrent, hoever most are not.

Economists speculate that the upswing in the warez economy may also have been due to many more dot-commers left with a few weeks of broadband connections previously used to telecommute and no income to buy legitimate software.
With the bad news about CDR pricing on the horizon investors are taking profits from their holdings high-tech stocks associated with warez like MP3.com, hotline.com and Napster. Said one investor "D00Z! 17'S T1ME T0 BA1L! TH3 3L33T M0N3Y 1S 1N B0NDZ!"
President Bush reaffirmed his hands off policy towards the CDR market. Spelling out that there would be no price freezes in CDR the president addressed a gathering of WAR3Z kids and said "WATZ Y0U WAN7 A HAND0U7? LAM3RZ!"
Just a short note on private -vs- public schools I don't know how things have evolved in canada, but most people who arn't involved behind the scenes in american schools would at first glance believe the same thing is true here in America, regarding private sachool teachers being better paid and more compitent than public. Priivate schoolds cost money and most of the staff have the appearence os being fically helthy and well trained as teachers. The fact is that Private school teachers tend to be very poorly paid in comparison to public school teachers. Few private school teachers make as much or more than a public school teacher, those that do are normally administraitors. Private schools are less standardised when it comes to evaluating teachers, often offer little training incentives and pay poorly. The most extream case is catholic schools that may pay below $12,000 a year to a full time teacher, not a nun who lives on campus and took a vow of poverty, but a full time teacher. Teacher accrediation in private schools is not manditory, many of the assistants or teachers of lesser classes don't need to be accredited at all. Not taking fedral money puts the school farther away from standardization. Some private schools may be diffrent, hoever most are not.
