" The problem the religious zealots have is that the Darwinian's are preventing creationist theories from being talked about.
In an education environment, it's quite reasonable to expect that both theories be taught. (Yes, they are both theories. There is nothing scientifically factual about evolution whatsoever.)"
Well there is a lot of evidence pointing to the fact that the universe was created in 7 days. Doesn't the Big Bang theory pretty much line up with biblical accounts? The only missing piece of evidence left to find is evidence pointing to that "day of rest" thingy.
uh, yeah...when you get a subpoena you are allowed to consult your lawyer. Under the patriot act you are not allowed to tell anyone that you were subpoened. They are threatening reporters to not tell anyone, not even their lawyers, that they are being subpeoned. there is more to it but i don't have time to post.
"Sir, if you don't lock your car, someone could steal your stereo... HEY EVERYONE!! This car is unlocked.. I'll open the door and hold it open for everyone to take a look in!"
The LD-50 (lethal dosage that would kill approximately 50% of the population) is 10 grams of oral administration. This is equivalent to approximately 100 cups of coffee, or 50 Vivarin pills. One exceptional case documented survival after ingesting 24 grams of caffeine. The minimum lethal dose of caffeine given intravenously was 3.2 grams.
While coffee drinkers often have caffeine blood concentration of about 1-10 mg/L, a concentration of 80 mg/L is considered lethal.
And like the poster before me said, that would be 100oz.
So you don't mind getting r00ted, oh, i mean Administrat0red by the people that do know about the bug until the patch comes out?
If you mean public as in no one in the world knowing about the bug then i agree with you. it would be awesome if the only people that knew about a bug were the developers.
But if the information is out there for other people, i need to know how to mitigate the damage until a patch does come out.
And academia is where all the l33t coders are?
What are we calling MS source code here? Microsoft definitly keeps a firm grip on who has access to it's bread and butter. Besides I'm sure they have a clause that requires them to report any bugs they found to them and not the general public, so you're not going to hear about it.
Most of the "linux problems" are application problems and not the linux kernel. I mean anyone can write shitty code and release it as their new open source project.
Hmmm. If it is that logical, should it really be patented? I guess an idea can be logical and novel.

Unrelated scenario? it's exactly the same scenario as ripping CDs that I own to mp3s and then copying the mp3s and deleting them over and over again. If i'm somehow stealing as people are saying, someone should lose money every time i copy them.
Please explain how that doesn't prove anything. I'm copying music files which you equate to stealing, so someone must be losing money, right?
But i guess you are right....I'm the foolish one for not believing you that every copy is stealing.
And you are right, i am much more foolish than you realized for even answering a troll such as yourself.

Copying is not stealing it is copyright infringement.
Here is a little thought experiment: Do you think that if everyone on slashdot that runs a windows operation system makes copies of their windows DLLs and then deletes them, that Microsoft loses money? What if i run a batch script in the background that constantly copies the DLLs and deletes them? I should pass the program out over the internet, and become the hero of the linux movement by bankrupting Microsoft.
Yeah, good luck hiting 1.25MB/s on 10baseT Ethernet. You will be real lucky if you reach 80% (still a high number) utilization because of the nonstop collisions on the wire.
How is scene selection any different than editing a dvd on the fly? So if i program my vcr to fast forward at certain sections i'm violating someone's copyright b/c it's not viewed the way they intended? What if i close my eyes for certain scary scenes? Copyright police going to prop my eyes open with toothpicks?
hey buddy. A spammer is using my bandwidth and time.
Where as someone anouncing to the world a "deep link," which is just an address, aren't taking any bandwidth away from the site. What are you going to sue for? Contributory theft of service?
Sue the people that click on the link. Those damn bandwidth stealers. I know you're one of them; i can just tell.
Uh, they didn't exactly threaten under the DMCA. They mentioned that the safe-haven portion of the DMCA protects the website until they are warned that they are infringing. And now that we are warning you, take it down or be sued. Before you could be sued just for having infringing content on your website, now they have to inform you that you are infringing, and then if you don't remove the content you can be sued.
I don't like the DMCA, either; however, the DMCA really isn't an issue in that case.
i think it's a way to keep the actual buisness going while the entity Lik Sang gets sued out of buisness. The new company cannot get sued b/c it's not selling the mod chips. To the outside world the new buisness looks like a different entity. They said that everyone that worked for them now works for the new company. Sounds like the same company, but different management and different name, and so on paper it is legally separate.
my 2 cents.
but when the product is being used by so many people to do much illegality, I don't see how any logical person can permit its existence.
This got insightful? Everything can be used in some illegal manner. There are non-infringing uses of mod chips! Is that logical enough for you? If they were talking about cars or any other item you can buy you would see how absurd this is.
The problem is that the Police department benefits directly from the forfeiture. There is a conflict of interest here. It won't be so bad if the assests went back to taxpayers instead of the police departments to prevent the police from targeting enforcement towards the crimes that will rake in the most assests.
There was some case in CA where a wealthy man with a large estate was targeted (mainly because he had a lot of money) and actually killed when agents burst in his home and shot him. The did not end up finding any drugs on his property. Supposely the police department had paperwork on the assessed value of his entire estate and were all set to divide it up with the DEA.

oh, yeah. I guess that's flamebait. I'm asking to be flamed b/c everyone knows they're so affordable.
That's because they can't afford an IT department after spending all that money on Macs.
So, buy some SCO stock when it becomes cheap and sue the shit out of the Officers for running the company into the ground.

Does it matter what DB you use if you infringe a patent?
Am i missing the point or won't any code that uses a patented method be patent infringement?

This page shows that certain "famous" marks are extremely protected.
I can't believe that they don't have to prove confusion or show competition between them and the defendent.
