1. Not likely at the rate we keep ADDING fax lines to our main fax server. Yes there is lots of electronic transfer of info, but most of our customers still need a hard copy in their hands and faxing is the most efficient way of getting it to them.
But in this situation it's not the ISP who is trying to sue you but the RIAA. Yes, your contract with your ISP does give them legal rights to take action agains you, but none of us have signed contracts with the RIAA.
Any some CEO's are simply closet socialists who are for whatever reason guilty they make so much. Writing fluffy op-ed pieces makes them feel better about themselves and enables them to sleep at night.
Instead of writing essays, why doesn't he pay his secretary some of that money he feels is being wasted on him. While its not the governments job to redistribute wealthy, there is certainly nothing wrong with an individual helping others out.
Then why did my bank calculate a loan-to-value ratio when processing my mortgage application? Apparently the bank sees a financial value in my house as well.
Then you are free to not patent your inventions. Nobody is forcing you to do so. However, don't cry foul when somebody else comes along and makes money off of your ideas.
Thats just what I was going to say. You still have the freedom to send what you want and I have the freedom to setup my anti-spam systems to dump your email into the blackhole. Nobody is forcing you stop sending email, but on the other end nobody can force me to receive it either.
So what he didn't profit or use the service, he still illegally obtained trade secrets and distributed them to those who would try and profit, or at least enabled those who are trying to steal service. Now he's caught and is being punished. The lesson learned here: Actions lead to Consequences.
You know, this is actually a very interesting point. When I'm typing a paper, email, code, or whatever, if I'm trying to think of how to phrase something I usually just tap my fingers against the keys until I start typing again. This thing would leave me with a page of gibberish.
But I think the point is that under fair use you are allowed to make unlimited "one-off" copies, ie in your Disney analogy. The restriction is that you can't make copies of copies. Napster et al violate fair use in that you create a copy and share it, now the recipient has a second generation copy. They aren't in possesion of the original generation copy.
Of course I may have interpreted you incorrectly, in which case nevermind.
It taxes road use, and makes SUV's pay more per mile.
I was under the impression that the current gas tax was already a road use tax. Around here at least (WI), when you buy gas for your boats, snowmobiles, etc, you can submit your receipts to the state for a refund since these items aren't used on public roads. That to me makes it a road tax.
Also, I already pay more per mile for my SUV due to my lower gas mileage. Assuming gas costs $1.50/gal, and I get 15 miles/gal, I'm paying $.10/mile. Someone who's car gets 30 miles/gal is only paying $.05/mile. So as I see it, the road tax is already a tax on gasoline and I'm paying more than my fair share with my SUV. Its not like I'm putting any more wear and tear per mile on the road than any other non-commercial vehicle, yet I'm paying twice as much.
Forced annual leave is standard in many industries. I know this was required at a bank I used to work at. Employees that handled sensitive finanicial information were required to take a least one full week (ie 5 consecutive days) off each year. This was supposedly to allow any fraud to surface that said employee may be covering up.

My IE6 does this as well. How quaint! ;)

Sort of like the old WinModems? I haven't seen one of these in awhile, so I assume people figured out they were junk.
I always thought the bigger concern has always been power consumption, which I suppose indirectly leads to heat output depending on chip design.
Maybe they are the one's contributing the IANAL posts.
Then why doesn't the assistant read the sign for them?
I'm not trolling, but are you serious that calling from the terminal is illegal?
Not if it's a corporate key, which doesn't call home to be activated.

I'm a SUV driver and I have no problem with the consumption model of the gas tax. Why am I a selfish bastard again?

But the xbox only needs to run it at 640x480. This cuts out much of the overhead right there, leaving power for all the neat effects.

The Dell printers are indeed rebadged Lexmark's.
Thats nice, except the AOL-TW merger was approved during Clintons term in December 2000, while Bush entered office in January 2001.
Even our Exchange private information store is somewhere around 10GB, and we are a small company by most standards

Not to be Mr. Obvious here, but the folder name is Public. So if you don't want data to become public, don't put it in a folder named public.
Fair enough, that was just my own interpretation of how these things work. I'm not even sure the lawyers can adequately define fair use anymore.
