"Many people (read marketing ppl) mistake the word "album" for "CD". A CD is a piece of plastic and aluminum, an album is a collection of songs, much like a photo album is a collection of pictures."
You know, the songs don't just float around in the air waiting for your ears to catch them...that's what CDs are for:-)
Some people think the current desire for big breasts are a carry-over from our non-human ancestors who did it doggy-style. The large size supposedly reminds us of grabbing onto a large bottom.
"actually, they're not in the public domain. they're covered and protected by international copyright laws. that's what prevents anyone from using it if they don't agree with the GPL."
I believe he meant public domain in the sense that it is out there for everyone to use...just a semantics error.
Your second statement is incorrect. The GPL is not a usage license, rather a distribution license. If you do not agree with the GPL with regards to sharing modifications and source, then default copyright law falls into place. However, at no time are you prevented from actually using GPL'd code.
This has everything to do with the government if they're the ones enforcing the laws. After I buy something, nobody should be able to tell me what I can do with my private property (short of harming other people). The fact that I could choose something other than Ford is irrelevant here; the law just stinks.
With all this talk of reverse engineering or cracking any encryption that might be on the camera, I began to wonder if Ritz could go after people for DMCA violations. And then it hit me:
***You hold the copyright on the photos you are trying to access.***
It's pretty much legal to circumvent copy restrictions when you're the copyright holder, correct?
"Heck, I can't figure out *why* we have to pay extra to have an unlisted number. "
Hmm...I wonder if this puts the phone companies in a position where they are essentially blackmailing domestic abuse survivors by charging a fee to keep them unlisted (and somewhat hidden) from their assailants.
I have the liquid roll-on version and have never used the solid. IMO it works better than regular deodorants and it lasts *all day* and into the evening with no odor whatsoever. My fiance recently introduced me to it and I'm amazed at how well it works. $3 a bottle but worth every penny!
"Deodorant is toxic poison, you cant make me use it, and you cant fire me for what occurs natually in nature; I KNOW MY RIGHTS!!!!"
Surely you've heard of Tom's of Maine deodorant with all-natural ingredients and no nasty chemicals? Or Naturally Fresh deodorant crystal, again with no harmful chemicals or aluminum? I won't use anything but those two.
You shouldn't have to pay for any spam. Anti-spam programs are irrelevant in this case because they don't prevent spam from being sent to you in the first place. The fact that they'll filter spam out of your inbox doesn't matter since the bandwidth has already been used to download the spam.
"Not quite - admin rights would only give access to whatever was on that particular machine (and stuff on the network), while the passwords of everyone who used that system would be considerably more valuable. "
Assuming a normal user has access to normal, company data like spreadsheets, client lists, etc., any extra passwords are just gravy. This is the wet dream of any corporate spy/saboteur.
You should be able to mount it on a pole buried in concrete as long as it's very close to your building and the line goes straight into your unit. If you're on a second floor unit and your balcony faces north, you could have a pole mounted that will let the dish peek over the roof.
I've always thought of ID's games as technology demos that other game companies can license and then create all sorts of specialty games. Kind of like how Quake begat Half-Life and Half-Life begat Counter-Strike.
Does anyone know if ID makes more money on selling its own games or on licensing out the engines?
In a perfect world you could cut out the middleman, but in the end someone has to deal with iTMS. Apple could do it themselves and hire a bunch of staff to deal with thousands of independent bands (and cut their profits significantly) or let someone else like CDBaby deal with all the bands.
In other words, Apple has separated the A&R and distribution functions you would normally see in a monolithic record label.
"...and "If I stream MP3s from my house to my office computer, will they arrest me?"..."
I've set apache to only accept connections from my LAN and my office's IP address. And, when I want to listen to music at work (all paid for, btw), my system requires a username and password to get in from outside my home LAN.
No, the real threat now is going to be that bad American knock-off version of Coupling. My only hope is that people will discover that the real Coupling is on PBS and BBC America when they flip through the channel listings.
I put Mozilla Firebird on a coworker's computer where the user didn't have admin rights...so can you. You can keep it in your/home..err..."My Documents" folder under Win32.
Didn't MS give the Chinese government the source code to Windows for their review? Did the US_DHS get the same opportunity? IMO, this contract just makes it easier for rogue nations and terrorists to spy on US govt agencies.
I'll take option 1 if it means we'll get universal health care and quality education in the US. That's the only reason I'd be willing to pay higher taxes.
...and the possibility of appreciation in market value and selling the shares for a profit...and the possibility of being acquired - typically at a nice premium for control. Of course, I'm also the type that would like dividends.

Yes, it supports both WMA and MP3. FINALLY, a device that supports both WMA and MP3, in addition to Ogg Vorbis!!! (sarcasm intended)

As a resident of NJ, I'll gladly give our state back to the UK, so long as:
1. We get a real BBC channel, and not just BBC America; and
2. We give Hollywood back to the Pacific Ocean.
Sorry, I think it's a little tasteless to associate Slashdot with something as sad as heroin addiction.

I enslaved CowboyNeal in a hampster wheel enclosure and attached a generator!

Does it have a view?

Lots of people in my apartment do this.

A&R: CDBaby & other labels
Distribution: Apple
