The biggest profit you are going to make is manufacturing the drugs that wealthy people need to live in style. $1 a day to alleviate your allargies, $1 a day to keep you from getting pregnant, $1 a day so you can eat what you like and keep your cholesterol in check. There is sim[ly too much low hanging fruit to make highly speculative reasearch an appealing investment.
IANAL either, but . . . You can waive your right to sue by contracting to have any dispute settled by binding arbitration. Even then you can sue, but you have to argue that the contract or arbitration should not be acknowledged by the court before you can sue for them amputating the wrong leg.
I suspect that most state medical boards have some ethical prohibition on conditioning care on the patients subsequent behavior (other than litigation and payment), if they don't they should.
Apparently in England there was a sign that said "Welcome to _____________ on ____________, Birthplace of William Shakespeare." Good thing the Nazis didn't have Wikipedia.
I agree that copyrights are too long, but... A patent deprives the public of something that is useful. A copyright only deprives the public of something pleasureable (software excepted). There is a quote somewhere about invalid patents serving as scarecrows in the fields of innovation; I don't think the same can be said of copyright because I doubt people refrain from writing a story or song or game for fear of infringing the work of some obscure author.
IANAL. The copyright is granted by each country on its own terms (generally adhering to the Bern Convention).
I vaguely recall that the RIAA was going after uploaders rather than downloaders, but I don't know when or why. When you fix a recording in a nontransitory form (on your HD) you have made a copy, I don't see why the legal status of the file in its country of origin would be relevant, but that doesn't meant is isn't.
I'm using Konq and my in-depth and intelligent explanation of the Common Law was eaten. My main point was that in general, the CL has been reigned in by statutes over the past 100 years. Judges still have a lot of wiggle room, but even the highest courts must rule consistent with statutes (or have the legislature amend the law to eliminate the offending juditial wiggle).
My own public vs. private school experience suggests that bad private school teachers are fired, while bad public school teachers stay around for ever.
However private schools are populated by students with 1) relatively affluent/educated parents 2) who give a shit.
The bad teachers who teach in public schools require more work from the parents least willing and able to educate their children. This exaggerates the difference in outcome.
But with OS & applications they make it expire so you can't use the beta instead of the product they are testing. With the phone, you've paid for the phone.
I don't doubt that Apple is willing to charge people for phone firmware updates, but you'd think the expiration would be after the projected release date or, like Windows, set for X months after install.
The reason for not mentioning this guy next to Edison, I think, is that if he had invented the wax spool 20 years later (or Edison had invented this machine 20 years earlier) no one would have bothered to note this invention. It is interesting as a curiosity, but as technology it reminds me very much of "AJKDHJKASHDIERBBBZOU@$#dDFJ."
The preceding is a perfect analogy, and the funniest joke ever written. Now you only need to wait for sufficiently advanced technology decrypt the example in all its majesty and grandure. Be careful.
Your allegation of hypocrisy suggests that all nations are equal, but this simply isn't the case. I suppose you'll say I'm wrong several times and provide some sort of link to wikipedia for me too, but really there is nothing hypocritical about saying "What I have is good for me, but it doesn't do you much good so don't destabilize your region by developing nukes."
Free speech trumps an awful lot. The 1st Amendment exists largely to allow people to watch the watchmen and I can't imagine a sufficiently compelling state interest that would constitutionally permit a state to shut down a website like this. This isn't a Nurenberg Files type of list.
I suspect that this equal treatment is subject to some minimal standards, one of which should be that you can't just copy whatever you want (Section 2 of the Berne Summary.) I'm too lazy to read the Berne convention, but I think the "equal protection for international IP owners" is to prevent foreign authors from being discriminated against.
You aren't banging bits into memory, you just have to type some magic words (which will hopefully make sense). The problem with Ubuntu is that it is so easy to install that people have no clue what has happened. Installing a driver 'by hand' is no more difficult than deleting entries from the Windows registry, and a lot less dangerous. If you're interested in Linux install Gentoo. I haven't had to reinstall since 2003, (replaced a MB, two HDDs in the interim) but at the end of that process I knew where my towel was (/dev/towel, though I had to create it by hand).
I hadn't thought if that. Ideally there should be a security policy enforced by the mail client. Default encryption only allows Internal email and uses one key, lowering the trust threshhold allows email to clients/other firms and uses another another key, and finally a Rot-13 schema that applies to reporters for the NY Times.

The wikipedia article also asserts that DDT's use as a vector control was never prohibited in developing nations. The implication being that the real effect of banning DDT for agricultural purposes is less catastrophic than the doomsday criers have lead you to believe.

I'd hate to be that woman. In fiction it's Hitchcock but in real life it would be Kafka (unless she is guilty AND works in a cotton swab factory).

You sound a lot like the guy complaining about how long it tool Macs to copy a 17 Mb file. What made you change your mind?

I believe Texas changed the law in 2002. I remember because I was down there for the last couple days before the change.
