    the gator case is entirely different.

    Gator was installed and running *with the user's permission*.

    How you agree to have a dns root server show ads?

    OTOH, the gator ruling also applies to ad-removing software installed by the user as well :)

    I've seen plenty of pages like that....

    When checking to see if a domain is available, I sometimes do a quick browse over to check if it's a real page or just a speculator.

    I'm not sure if it's register.com doing the advertising, some other registrar, or the speculator pointing the domain at a page of ads that tries to set my homepage, but there are LOTs of pages like that out there.

    no difference. If you rent/lease you have exclusive control for a limited period. If you rent an apartment, your landlord can't enter any time he chooses. If your car is towed and impounded, it is theft to steal it (your own car) back.

    regulating commerce is a whole lot different than arresting 2 men for butt-fucking each other in their apartment, even though it's legal for a man to butt-fuck a woman.

    Bowers didn't make gay prostitution legal. And it wouldn't limit a state's right to regulate commerce, set zoning laws, etc.

  14. Re:NO NEED CONTRACT TO BREAK LAW on Is Licensing SCO Unix Legally Dangerous? · · Score: 1
    modern law works a little bit differently.

    Let's say I steal your axe. you still have title to it, even though I have posession of it. When I'm caught, it will be returned to you.

    However, let's say I sell your axe to CmdrTaco. If CmdrTaco reasonably believes that it is my axe, and pays fair value, he recieves title to the axe. Even if I am caught, CmdrTaco can keep the axe. However, I am liable for selling your axe without permission. This rule exists to protect buyers -- if I go to a store as a buyer, I should expect to gain title to stuff I buy.

    Note that if CmdrTaco thinks or knows I stole the axe, he does not receive title to it. Furthermore, if he doesn't pay fair value (eg, a reasonable value for a used axe, not a token $5), he does not recieve title.

    ok, so perl variable will never conflict with keywords, score 1 for perl.


    But if/when you switch to perl 6, $hash{'key'} is now %hash{'key'}. And it gets uglier for arrays of hashes, etc. And $length = @array is now $length = @array.length;


    But at least keywords won't conflict with variables!

  17. Re:Works well in OS X on The Web Programming CD Bookshelf · · Score: 1
    O'Reilly's Safari is a logical name, since their gimmick is animals on the cover of tech books. Zoo would have also been logical.

    Mac OS X has used jungle cat names for release versions -- Panther, Jaguar, etc., so Safari (browser) fits in with the jungle theme. However, none of there other software is based on the jungle them (iLife, iTunes, iChat, KeyNote, ProjectBuilder, etc), so they probably should have used iExplorer or such.

    speeding tickets are a huge moneymaker for police departments.


    I wonder if the RIAA will be able to cover their laywer costs/other legal fees from any judgements they might collect on.


    As a side note, I have a lawyer friend. Quite often, people ask him how they can get out of a speeding ticket. His first question: "Were you speeding?" To which the answer is almost always "Yes, but I don't want to pay the fine."
