Sure, it's justified, but it's as valid for any OTHER country. Claiming that Americans (only) should be immune is just ridiculous. Also note that soldiers in peacekeeping missions are in fact citizens;)
Thats cool and all, but while it's fairly easy to get a big, one-time chunk of donations from a dedicatated fanbase, it's really hard to get people to MAINTAIN that donation. Once he's gone through that 40k, what does he do then? Granted, it can be pulled off, but it's far from easy or reliable.
As part of a court order (I believe related to the AOL - TW merger), AOL was required to keep the AIM network open. Of course, they wiggle anyway (multiple protocols, for example), but they do have a legal obligation to allow others to access the network.
Might as well be honest, and say, "I believe laws to be meaningless and unimportant; breaking them to suit my whims and is ethically--and financially!--sound."
Okay. That should get me in good to be successful in either politics, buissness, or law. Or do you really think that the movers and shakers of the country DON'T think that?
Except, of course, that you CAN patent ideas, due to later laws relaxing the restrictions and allowing, for example, the patenting of buinsess processes (which are obviously intangible).
it's still a perfectly good example - you can mod your car by taking out all the exhaust filters and converters and mufflers and brakes and whatnot all day long. Nobody will stop you. The modding itself is not illegal. Using your newly modded car is, however. Note the difference there. This is one of the reasons the DMCA is a crappy bit of legislation.
let me just check if I have this right. It's illegal to randomly generate numbers, or to dial sequentially. But it IS legal to generate sequential (non-random) numbers, and then dial those in a random order?. I knew all Texans smoked pot, but seriously...
Using the validator properly requires a little bit of knowledge, such as which doctype to use (it'll complain if you don't have one and you'll need to specify a version of HTML to validate against). I know that knowing enough about HTML to know what version you're going to use can be a somewhat high barrier to entry, but one would presume that a professional web designer, such as one working for/contracted by a large company such as an airline, would be familiar with the different HTML versions and would be able to use the correct doctype.
As for your page... once the doctype declaration is fixed (the standard specifies the all caps), the only problems are missing alt tags (just like in the article!) and the more nitpicky improper quoting on some of your attributes. And the 350k, 1150x1514 pixel jpg on the splash screen. Ick. Scale that puppy down!
I was under the impression that legal documents, such as the kind you get from lawyers, were considered public domain, as documents of the court. This is why people who're being hassled by lawyers can publish the letters (ref. bnetd, etc)
Of course it doesn't - by the same rational, you shouldn't use NFS behind a firewall, either, because that only hides the problem. VPNs are used to connect one trusted network to another trusted network (note that in many cases one of those "networks" can be a single machine.)
Just like in a LAN environment, you're using less-secure protocols for the greater convenience.
new nVidia drivers with new cards have a bunch of neat features, most of which don't really work (noticable double-drawing of the menu with transparent menus, for example), but the virtual desktops work fine. But I like having lots of monitors anyway.
You can go one step further and just add the domains it calls up to the restricted zone in IE. I forget all the domain names, but the kazaa lite site has a list of em.
Agree. Don't. Watch revenge of the nerds III instead. Same idea, same result, much more entertaining. And better written. Not to mention without the air of pompous superiority.
You put your little fob in the reader. The store reads your id, sends a challenge to the server. The server responds with a pair(or more) of angles to shoot from. The store does so and sends the resulting key pattern. Anyone saving and storing patterns will have to get ALL the ones stored on the server, which can be an arbitrary amount, and could be changed and/or added to at any time by the keyholder from certain trusted offices (maybe your bank).
They probably do it the same way the BSA does, which is to say over and over and over again that they have the legal right to it, and they'll sue anyone who argues the point. The vast majority of people will cave. After all, it's just some logs, right? And they wouldn't be there if the guy hadn't done something wrong, right?
It's actually NOT trespass if your house looks like a commons - say, you designed it to look like a McDonalds, or, more relevently, if it's a coporate office building. The issue here really is whether or not, should you come across an unsecured network that allows you access without authentication, you should consider it to be closed or open by default. Alot of people are going to say that of course you should assume it's private and not go in unless you're invited, and that's legitimate. On the other hand, I don't like this habit we have of declaring things private and protected by fiat (cell phones, cable and satellite tv), and exepting the provider from any responsibility.
Not really. Nobody makes any money off of unmodified BSD code, except in the case of people paying for it just because they don't know better (ref. that guy who stuffed CDex into a spyware-laden installer), and while that'll make you some short term cash, you won't get anywhere with it in the long run. Sure, there's lots of commercial code derived from BSD-licensed source. But any of that's actually succesful, is because of added value, which, of course, you don't have access too.

Call for help is crap, but the Screen Savers is rather more upscale, often mentions Linux (although it's Windows focused), and has hot babes to boot.

You know doctors aren't on 24/7 call 365 days a year, right?

Theres a perfectly working no-CD crack for UT2k3 already. Guess this new system ain't all that.
I'll add to your plug a little bit. Lots of people here order from ubid, and have had great experiences, including myself.
I'm very happy. I found this a long time ago, but the plugin got removed from Winamp's site (I assume because of protest by Real).

It's the same way that Oracle 9i can stay running even when the server it's on is down. (as per the Oracle home page. God, I hate that.)

Sadly, that's actually a highly accurate description of the way buisnesspeople and politicians speak :P

Except for the horridly ugly gnome/tk style widgets. Spit. Love the menu and title bars, though.
