Dunno, I've never had that issue. 6 months ago, my entire machine had 512 megs. Yes, you read that right. FF3.x did just fine on that. System software is Debian Squeeze, fully patched/updated. And no, the box isn't slow or anything noticeable.
I rarely have more than 3 or 4 tabs open, tho - maybe that's the secret. If I need to refer back to something that bad, then I just "save page as" or "print to file".
Neither does any other license stop third parties. Like they say, anyone can bring suit at anytime for any reason. Whether it has merit is a different story tho. The GPL absolutely *does* forbid distribution if any part of the GPL's work is encumbered however.
*shrug* At least I'm man enough to admit when I'm not a subject matter expert. Unlike certain shills.
"I'm seeing a couple of articles about an initial determination by the ITC against Barnes & Noble on its patent misuse defense, and there's quite a lot of spin on the ball, thanks to the usual suspects. They are reading a lot into a title of a sealed document. I see many misstatements. "
Oh look, a selective quotation! We can play this game too! Florian, is that you?
"So I'll explain a little about the process, so you can understand it. For one thing, the title of the sealed ITC initial determination is called an *initial* determination for a reason. It means it isn't final. The final one comes later. Initial determinations, in addition, can be reviewed by the full ITC if the defendant petitions for review and even one Commissioner says yes.
Litigation isn't like football. It is rarely suddenly over. "
And here's what an actual freakin IP attorney thinks. I remember when Mueller got backed into a corner on that site a while back - he was *way* out of his depth even with amateurs.
This won't hurt B&N that much. Mainly they already have letters rogatory and subpoenas pending against MOSAID and Steven Elop. Looks like they're gonna have to speak up and tell what the deal is after all.
I think I'll wait and see what Groklaw says about this - since it is now run by an actual IP lawyer (Mark Webbink of RedHat), I think they are *very* much qualified, far moreso than Mr. Mueller. Not that PJ was un-qualified at all - her research as a paralegal is world-class. And since she too works in the legal industry I'm sure she is also far more qualified than Mr. Mueller.
The artistic world would entirely disagree with this Judge. By that I mean, the entire population of visual artists who work in traditional media. It has been acknowledged and even encouraged for hundreds if not thousands of years to study each others works and to do ones own version them. Usually one would subtitle "A study after so-and-so..." and its all good. Much in the same way a music group will do a "cover" of another band's song. *ALL* of the Masters learned their trade by copying others - even Rembrandt, Michelangelo, et al. NONE of them were "self-taught"!!!
"The overwhelming majority of YouTube content isn't from big media."
Big media would like to change that. For a fee of course. You see, they would like any and all media, to be behind a paywall. Won't somebody please think of the Shareholders!?
It goes well beyond JUST THE PEOPLE WHO DIE... The traffic delays, wasted fuel, frustrated people, road rage, etc... impacts of distracted driving are a pretty significant effect as well. From my ~15 years of commuting, I'm convinced that highway congestion would be reduced by 10-20% if all the morons on the road were actually paying attention to the road rather than talking, texting, reading, eating, shaving or applying makeup / mascara (the last one boggles my mind - why would ANYONE put a pointy object near their eye while driving.../shudder).
THIS. A million times over. And I've been driving both personally and sometimes professionally for 25 yrs. Also, what the hell ever happened to drivers ed? It was a requirement for me to graduate. Don't people even remember the stuff they were taught, or did they never learn in the first place? And of course there's the kids with *no* concept of physics... remember kiddo, if you can't see my mirrors then I can't see you *at all* - and stay in your lane when you turn. How many accidents have I had in 25 yrs? 2. Neither one was my fault. I grew up in a time when wireless phones didn't even exist. Airbags and million-dollar lawyers didn't exist either. Shut the fuck up and drive, and just *deal* with it. Ya know? Life went on just fine back then, and it still does right now. .
What if my apps *are* task-centric? I still with gnome2, but I may very well go with xfce4. I nearly lost it on gnome when they went from 1.x and plain text-file configs. I had spen a long time making it behave exactly as I wanted to, and the "upgrade" broke stuff all over the place.
Not true. The rules of evidence in civil cases require both parties to bring everything they have to the table. They can't ramp it up later on in the suit. Although they may be able to start a different suit after this one is over. Watch closely and see how the judge enforces this. It's going on right now in Oracle vs Google.
Parsing fonts in-kernel...??? Reminds me of how parts of IE were in kernel, or ActiveX.... I notice how much crap MS stuffed into their kernels over the years, and how each feature seems to correspond to a vuln.

that this has the potential to nearly *kill* teaching and learning the visual arts in the US and signatories to this treaty, right?
By the way, what if I as an visual artist, specify the copyright terms to be applied to my work posthumously in my will, and publish said will?
You forgot M$ fanboys and Republicans. Good effort, though.
MOSAID
. Pretty interesting how they *really* didn't want to answer the letters rogatory (international subpoenas).
But, you've already exposed your position, so that's useful.

But what if somebody used goatse for their picture password? Would you touch it? If so, where?

Wanna get their attention real fast? How about "the penalty for filing false DMCA claim shall equal the penalty for actual copyright infringement..."
That would slow things down in a hurry I bet.
A cumshot.
There's nothing broken with TV's not even my old CRT model. What's broken is the business models, and distribution networks, especially cable.
I'm not the OP with the history thing, but...
So its OK for taxpayer to pay for job training thinly veiled as an education which I have zero interest in, and still struggle to find work after?
And BTW I did have scholarships and grades IRL 25 yrs ago.

Ya know what's really scary? Sometimes I can't tell if the gov't is being "+1, sarcastic".
The House may have simply done this bill in order to troll the whole place in a big way. That, or they actually mean it. Either prospect is scary.
