No, it wasnt to make violations of the kernels license harder to detect, it was to stop the BusyBox copyright holders from having sway over third party applications through their "compliance" requirements (basically they only allowed you to be relicensed for BusyBox if you also came into compliance with everything else, not just BusyBox). Tim Bird had a legitimate complaint - most kernel developers, Linus included, is fairly ambivalent to most kernel license violations.
If the goal was indeed to get him to the US, it would be easier to extradite him from the UK due to the special extradition treaties in effect between the US and the UK.
This won't be reopened, as despite Ms Roses position regarding the Judges comments about the treaty conventions, the Judges are allowed to test the validity of the arguments presented by both sides, so they need to test the defences assertion that the warrant is illegal or unlawful - that means referring to past cases and decisions to determine consistency. Ms Rose doesn't have an argument there.
I would agree with you, except that I rarely pass books on myself - I tend to have what I assume is a rare ability to reread books again and again and get the same enjoyment out of them each time (everyone Ive mentioned this to has been slightly amazed, as from what I gather most people never reread a book, ever).
So the books tend to stay in my collection. Ebooks means that collection takes up less space when I go on holiday now:D
Ahh so wrong information should stand uncorrected simply because correcting it is... somehow wrong? No. Thats a stupid world to live in - if you are going to post information in a public forum, make sure its correct first.
If you think thats pedantic, then I don't really care for you at all.
Fuck off, and I guess its you that I can thank for the downmod - the original parent posted information and got it wrong, its not pedantic to correct woefully incorrect information, so you sir can go fuck yourself.
Normal work hours in the UK are 9am to 5.30pm, with an hour for lunch (this is typical of every job I have worked, non-retail). This was posted at about 5.15pm - just before the end of the normal working day for most people.
Before iBooks, I bought a lot of stuff from Ereader.com, and here are some of my comparisons (in GBP)
Revelation [Mass Effect Series Book 1] £2.99 - iTunes price £4.99 Ascension [Mass Effect Series Book 2] £2.99 - iTunes price £4.99 Pandoras Star £4.99 - iTunes price £8.99 Judas Unchained £4.99 - iTunes price £8.99
Those examples were purchased in 2008, the iTunes prices are right now. I could go rough the other 50 or so books I purchased if you wish?
None of the purchases I made on Ereader are currently available for new purchase - I can still download my purchased copies under my account, but you couldn't buy them now.
What's worse is that Yahoo have accidentally included their private signing key inside the Chrome extension, meaning anyone can now sign Chrome extensions as Yahoo....
People need to understand the points of this case before trying to discuss it.
When the plaintiff replies "yes" when asked "Mr. Tenenbaum, on the stand now are you now admitting liability for downloading and distributing all 30 sound recordings that are at issue and listed on Exhibits 55 and 56 of the exhibits?", the distribution liability becomes the biggest dick in his ass.
This was never about downloading for personal use.
It's also interesting to note that the original Judge who tried to rule on the constitutionality of the monetary award is now retired and is a colleague of Tenenbaums defence attorney...
Sure there are other days, a week or more later if you are lucky - but what happens if you miss that slot due to a technical issue, do you wait for the next one in the same time slot?
No, you launch when you can - this is about getting the payload up there, not competing for viewers with Friends reruns.
So? Why should the government get paid for that time and again, over 50 years later? Same argument used against excessive copyright terms on this site, with the difference that your argument doesn't have an expiry date at all...

Abu Hamza hasn't visited the US either, yet he's soon to be extradited there from the UK.
The same goes for Babar Ahmad.
About about a dozen others.
Prior visit to the US is not a requirement.

Thats interesting, considering the heritage of the works at the core of this case - or are we limiting the topic to physical goods only?
If creating a universe isn't an issue, then fudging the quantum descriptions isn't going to present a problem at all.
The argument is internally consistent, just not scientific.
Now who is being the pedantic asshole...
You just cant leave alone, can you? I'd go get that seen to if I were you - you have the larger attitude issue here.
Oh look, more down mods - seems someone has an attitude problem...
I can't believe that some people think that wrong information should simply stand because it might be "pedantic" to correct it....
As I mentioned in my original post, Ereader was a competitor - they had readers on Palm, PocketPC and later on the iOS devices.

I think the DOJ have a fairly decent case here.
Minor correction - the first supersonic airliner was Russian, the Tu-144.
Free speech is a concept, the first amendment is what involves your government. In this case, it's the concept that is under threat.
Ahh, Free Speech only means something when you agree with its usage, eh?

The US didnt seem to have a problem with uniforms when it was the Soviets the Taliban were fighting...
Yes, that is how BitTorrent works, but Joel used Kazaa...
As I said, learn the points of the case before trying to discuss it.

And that "issue" can be "fixed" with a tiny amount of knowledge. How about people learn the basics of their system?

How is my post off-topic? The downside of the TEXT field is highlighted in the fucking summary, its perfectly on topic to suggest alternatives!
