The irony of Claire Perry getting whipped in court over a freedom of speech issue would cause a massive outbreak of schadenfreude across the UK.....
Interestingly enough, photographs of Claire Perry getting whipped in court would qualify as "Extreme Pornography" and possession of them could land you in jail right next to the guy who designed the logo for the London Olympics.
Just like the safety benefits of electrical power far outweigh any potential inconvenience to people who insist on breathing, making coal and gas power plants completely free from pollution.
Now that you've solved that problem, can you redefine a few more words to eliminate unemployment, poverty and that noise that chalkboards make?
No, I'm pretty sure that Joseph Campbell published The Hero With A Thousand Faces in 1959, and Christopher Vogler wrote the seven page summary that was the closest thing to a book that anyone in Hollywood had ever read in 1985.
"How One Bolting Horse Sent My Company Close The Stable Door: We had no high availability or disaster recovery in place, so when a disaster happened our systems weren't available and we couldn't recover from it. That was bad, so we fixed it."

True, all works are derivative. But not all works are derivative of something that is still in copyright. If you want to (by way of completely random example) do a translation of Les Miserables and then make an english-language musical out of it, there's nobody to stop you because the original source is long out of copyright.
That's one way of looking at it. The other way is that there are other derivatives of Les Miserables which _are_ under copyright, and the people who own them would like to have a few words with you about exactly what you have created a derivative work of.
All you need to do to create perfect communism is kill everyone else so no-one can disagree with you (you can't just kill the ones who disagree, because the others might only be pretending to agree).
Stalin made a pretty good attempt, but didn't quite succeed.
By an incredible coincidence, that's also the way to create a perfectly free market with no government intervention.
Be careful about installing this. The new icons and colour scheme still cause some older display panels to burst into flames or, in extreme cases, the entire device to shut down out of embarrassment.
What's that word that starts with an 'A' and means "A small rocky body orbiting the sun between Mars and Jupiter, one of which was recently named after Iain Banks"?

Thanks for pointing that out, sm3ggy and Talderas.
Why so incredulous? It's not as if someone told you that the US Department of Education had its own SWAT team.
"By god, a shovel would feel good in my hands today."
Unfortunately, the company lawyers still say that educating users that way counts as murder.
...which turned into extended vacations in Russia. Due to circumstances beyond our control the trip to Ecuador has cancelled.
And then, after I do that, I will leave a note saying "Okay, I fixed your personal laptop."
Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!
For those of us unaware of it, channel 4 has produced a dramatization of the meeting in which Claire Perry was first introduced to The Internet.

Oh God can't you keep it down?

Which you'd have known if you had bothered to read some of the messages above you before whining to all of us about how you're an ignorant little git.

That's okay. Fair Use isn't very common inside of the US either.
