To clarify, the copyright belongs to the originator (of what specifically, is variable), so the latter case may have several copyright holders.
Making a recording does _not_ transfer any copyright WRT the piece or it's performance. Technically, you're supposed to acquire permission before you record a piece, but the purpose is for book keeping. Nobody cares until there's money involved.
You only ever own the copyright (in it's narrowest interpretation) to what you created.
The silence isn't copyrighted, but that particular _recording_ of it is.
Silence is in the public domain. If I record something in the public domain, my recording of it is what's copyrighted. Additionally, if I record something _not_ in the public domain, the product has several copyrights. The copyright of the piece performed, copyright of the actual performance and the copyright of the recording.
Copyright law is a good thing, being an idiot is not. Put down the Cheet-os and Mountain Dew and use the 'net for something besides looking at porn to whack off to while yer waiting on Gentoo, huh?
Fuck Bill Gates, this is the worlds greatest businessman. I have personally seen and recorded 45 impromptu minutes of Branson speaking to young entrepreneurs at the drop of a hat when asked to by a complete stranger.
LTBN: "Hey! We're doing a thing across the street, would you mind saying a few words?" Richard Branson: "Sure, let's go!"
Okay, he did ask for female volunteers to go on the round the world balloon trip while he was on the dais but it would have taken longer than 45 minutes to charm them all individually. Personally, I thought that was great, but some people gotta be haters.....
Uh, laborers get paid overtime, business owners are reaping the fruit of their own labor, cops, firemen, truck drivers and pilots all get comp time and have legal protection WRT consecutive hours worked. They're also union jobs (surely just a coincidence, right?).
Programmers get abused because they put up with it as a group. Think a bit on the whole "managing programmers is like herding cats" meme and who really benefits.
Okay.. I posted too soon before. It sounds like he's hasn't included starting ALSA in his default runlevel. Driver configuration is done once and the modules are loaded via initscript (normally).
The authors point is well taken, even if he's barking up the wrong tree on the specifics.
Who comes up with harebrained schemes like this anyway? It sounds like something a couple of potheads thought up.
Engr1: Dude, you know what'd be awesome? We could make a widget that recognizes faces, then we could put it at the door so we'd know if it was the pizza guy knocking.
Engr1: Whoaaa dude, that'd be awesome. Pass the caffeine.
They could sell a million of these. I love the sample selection interface. I didn't see any details on the FX loop, but it's still really, really cool.
HAHAHA That's fucking sweet. I submitted a proposal for some networking stuff at his store a few years back, but when I met with him he was talking about suing people because his son is a lawyer and he gets free legal advice.

Point being there are a considerable amount of projects coded to win32 on sourceforge, so it's not like free software doesn't exist on the platform. I suppose you could look at what MS is doing as providing an alternative for people who don't want to be forced into an OSI approved license as per SF's TOS. I'll refrain from commenting on the TOS from MS' dealie, since I haven't read it, except to say if you have to have terms rammed down your throat, it's better for all parties to get the same deal.
What commited information rate are you paying for? It's possible can get more effective sustained throughput with a fractional T with a higher CIR than a full T with lower. The full T will have higher burst speed.
The answer is plain and simple. Look at the tax angle. The more you spend, the more you can deduct. Why would a business pay a penny more in taxes than necessary?

Got a feeling he knows all about units AC

He might have had a noble reason for doing it, like music pirates, but I expect we'll all be staying after class for this one.
You've got the ass part down anyway.

I'm sorry but the newspaper analogy sucked donkey balls. I mean, my web browser doesn't turn my hands black either.

No, ALSA sound default to volumes being at 0.
All he's gotta do is bring up the fader.
I haven't read the thread here and wasn't getting anysatisfaction trying to post on informationweek _BUT_
His ALSA problem is bad tech support plain and simple.
ALSA defaults to all channels muted when it's first fired up, but ALSA people forget to mention it.
That's right, nobody told him to turn up the volume, or at least that's been suppressed to drive traffic.
Move along now, theres nothing to see here..
Gentoo has an installer now?
It was all by hand last year.

That's highly likely, he's a major weasel.

I have one of those Imagewriter II's. It's a 9 pin dot matrix. Not even NLQ. It's built like
a tank, but it's strictly utility grade output.

The full T will have higher burst speed.
Thanks Mr Ashcroft.

Look at the tax angle. The more you
spend, the more you can deduct.
Why would a business pay a penny more in
taxes than necessary?
We need more philosophy and less technology.
