So they should drop the ordering information from the pieces. If you gave me the parts to make a gun but without assembly instructions, I could make a gun. If you gave me the pieces to make a file and I knew the hash (in analogy to knowing how a gun works), I could work out the order.
This is hinted at in the HTML5 spec. Vladimir Vukicevic has already created a 3D Firefox Add-on that extends <canvas> with an OpenGL ES context; and others are working on a javascript library that aims to make make Canvas 3D development easier.
/. was never the place I came to get my news first, rather somewhere I would come to read and/or participate in the commentary after the fact. Sadly, the commentary is deteriorating; maybe it's the new system.
God, I hope that there is an eventual outbreak of common sense but I'm not holding my breath.
Regarding "common sense" I guess it depends on how literally you define it, but if it's common in the sense of majority held opinion then its adoption can't be pandemic can it? What we're talking about is more like a paradigm shift in moral values.
Without copyright, every artist would simply resort to live performances, and we'd have a situation where hearing our favorite music was a matter of being in the right place at the right time and paying a hefty cover charge, *every time*.
Nice logical fallacy there. No, without copyright there would likely still be recordings of works (even if just live performances) which we could listen to whenever we damn pleased.
In case you missed it, the Bud said straights proclaim their sexuality by *talking about it* at the (e.g.) 7-11 not by merely *being* there. For instance: "Dude, did you check out the set on that chick!?"
Covering the same story is not necessarily plagiarism, copying it verbatim would come directly under copyright but AFAICT that's not the case at issue.
Anyway:
The AP has been rather busy with lawsuits lately, so even though the AP has a story about their own lawsuit, we won't link to it.
It made for a good joke but the AP doesn't seem to be covering this story (I was going to post the link but I can't find one).
Except that there's billions of people who would like to use it. The queue for the use of the PEN would be enormous let alone that we would run out of the INK and space on the PAPER.

That's actually not a bad idea, it could make for an interesting modern sculpture.
How about,

Submit your questions people, Thrust
I always found that function funny. It would make me go and read the rescinded message with greater interest.

Are you saying there would be no F/OSS without copyright? BSD seems to get by alright.

And the rest of that sentence:
not only is OpenOffice.org superior software in every respect, it's also feature-compatible with Microsoft Office
Look, I like F/OSS software (and dislike MS) as much as the next geek but that's simply not true.
Judge: [donning red nose] I hereby sentence you to be hanged by the neck until you cheer up.

I found a Gnome's pot of gold. Or thought I did. When I opened it up, it was just filled with underpants! WTF? >:/
Just put it back the way it was and wait for the gnomes to ???.
Dude, If I had a TARDIS -- Fuck NASA -- I'd be flying around the Universe picking up hotties!

Because the AP's articles are derivative works of Current Events.
Thanks, I guess it's because the story is a week old!
I didn't try to look that far back, their search interface isn't very useful.

There's nothing wrong with the PEN and PAPER.
Except that there's billions of people who would like to use it.
The queue for the use of the PEN would be enormous let alone
that we would run out of the INK and space on the PAPER.
Only the AC ones.
Would be even funnier to do the reverse of that. How many times have you seen executive types google a domain name to get to the site.
(Imagine the interesting pages of results they could be presented with.)

"Rights to your mind's productions"
So it's like "Imaginary Rights" then.
