What about critics who aren't members of the academy? Having a small, closed group of people be the only ones with access to screeners isn't much of a solution.
Scary, but that looks like where we're headed. If the court rules in favor of Lexmark, what's to stop HP from allowing only HP printers to be used with their computers? Where does it stop?

Let's hope John Ashcroft isn't reading this.
To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers
My issue is that Congress is not just 'carrying into execution' this particular foregoing power. They are extending it well beyond its original scope. Being a strict constructionist, when I read 'securing for limited times to authors and inventors' I interpret it as meaning that ONLY authors and inventors may enjoy the fruits of a copywright, not an estate, foundation, etc. that claims to be representing the author or inventor.
There may be very good reasons for extending the life of a copywright beyond that of the original author, but if this is so, we need to amend the Constitution, not ignore it.
Olson gained ground when he invoked another clause of the Constitution, the "necessary and proper" clause, as a justification for the legislation as a matter of equity.
I am appalled that this guy invoked the necessary and proper clause on an issue that the Constitution already addresses. That is NOT what the clause was intended to do. I don't know why we even bother paying lip service to the Constitution anymore.
For gross anatomy, everyone will be mailed their own copy of the Operation! board game. These guys will be very good at diagnosing and fixing charlie horses and wrenched knees.
Not that my life is necessarily relevant to anyone else's, but..
I started college as a computer science major. I hated class and never went. I ended up switching to poli sci / philosophy. But now I work in web development. I think that there are advantages to the classroom setting when learning humanities subjects, where discussion and interaction are an important part of the learning experience. Learning a skill such as web development, on the other hand, can be done on one's own, by reading the right materials, much more so say learning and understanding Plato's Republic. But that's just my opinion. What do you guys think?
How about we just skip all this nonsense about how to connect all of this information stored in ten different gadgets, and get to the end game: a chip planted in the brain that stores all necessary contact information. Of course, MS can offer them for free so long as you store a backup on their server.
It's odd to see AOL Time Warner taking a side on this, since they have both record industry and ISP holdings. As a user of Time Warner's road runner broadband, I can still access listen4ever, which I would have guessed, after reading the article, would be blocked.

Well, "He Hate Me" (aka Rod Smart) plays for the Carolina Panthers, so this game would be barred by the agreement also! :)
Just like six buttons, right?

Goatse.cx uses PHP!
Here's a link to some info about Nutch, an open source search engine project that Tim O'reilly, amongst others, is involved with.
Did anyone actually read through the entire thing? That was pretty hilarious.
Why are so many people devoting so much time and effort to eliminating spam? Is it because it isn't really that big a deal?

Just more proof that, one day, the RIAA will indeed own all of us.
And what does that have to do with anything?

Not to mention the fact that it is damn near impossible to do a real weightlifting regimine while intaking little to no carbs.

Love the black boxes over the other peoples' eyes. Makes collecting EEG data look so lurid.
