"They are saying that putting *copyrighted* materials in a shared folder is illegal"
Suppose my friend creates and records a song (and he's the copyright holder) and asks me to put it on my web site to get it downloaded to build his reputation?
That's clearly designed for the purposes of piracy with no possible non-infringing uses. The RIAA/MPAA neuro-surgeons will visit you shortly (might be a good time to buy a hat for those lobotomy scars you're about to aquire...)
I believe it's called "Extraordinary Rendition". You don't get tortured by the CIA or any other western agencies. They just pass on the questions to the local guys that actually do the torture. Apparently they had a go at one guys 'equipment' with a scalpel.
nah, that was "Fatherland" and Soviet's shoved loads of folk off to the gulags for the sake of the "Motherland". I'm sure "Homeland" has nooooooooo connections.;-)
Not saying the guy's right but a lot of the comments I've heard seem to be based on this being automatically sexist as opposed to people showing good studies that demonstrate the this isn't at all correct.
More of a "You can't say that." than "That isn't correct.
wow. that makes me see him in a whole new light. To have taken so many cherished memories and p1ssed all over them just so that people could live real lives? That really shows dedication. I'm filling up.
... is the important part. I think we should view this as a second chance and get the finger out. We need to donate to organisations fighting this and make polite contact with our policitians.
I was going to say "we (Europeans)" but since this could influence the US then we should do what we can while there's still something we can do.
maybe I'm being a bit thick here but mainly Japan has been in the new recently in relation to earthquakes and typhoons. Not the best place to build the new reactor? (Or do they have a safe and stable bit to put it?)
I don't know about "personally kill the animals they eat. Watch me" but I get pretty pissed off at people who think that being a vegetarian is stupid but then get all sqeamish and girly if they even see raw meat (let alone hunting or a slaughterhouse).
if you hadn't called me a 'pussy' I'd almost have applauded you.;-)
"we are required by law to know where our pupils are at all times"
probably another reason why this could be a good thing. The danger here comes when governments try to extend this and that's where this is the thin end of the wedge. It may be a good thing but we'd be stupid to ignore the dangers it also brings.
You do get all those advantages and I'm certainly willing to accept that this might be a good thing for school pupils. Trouble is, that get's people used to accepting this sort of thing. Next stop - your workplace? Your home?
SCOs action against Novell was for 'Slander of Title' and for this to succeed SCO had to prove that Novell never really believed they owned Unix and just did it to be nasty to SCO. These minutes show that Novell did believe that so the action fails.
actually, I'm currently taking over support for an Access application so right now I'd just like to see Access killed. It is to application development what dog shit is to sandwich fillings.
(Would be a very good idea to get smaller businesses to look at Linux too.)
... does anyone know where this idea came from in the bible (I'm ruling out the divine revalation bit)? Was it based on something from the ancient past?
don't think you can be that sure. I've got a sweet tooth, I'm a potatoe chip/crisp addict and I've been addicted to video games ('coin in the slot' variety ones) and although I enjoy alcohol I've never felt close to being an alcoholic.
Probably best not to risk it though. (wish I had as much self control on the crisp front...)
there is the other aspect - if the US saw other countries benefitting by flauting US 'IP' then they have the 'big stick' of the worlds most powerful military to threaten the rest of the world with (and they would want to use it before the competition from the rest of the world weakened it too much)
I'd like to think I'm getting too 'tin foil hat' but I can't be confident about it.
whenever we have a powerloss my VCR does that but since I don't bother to record stuff while I'm out I just leave it til the flashing annoys me enough to make me set it. (usually takes a few weeks) Maybe the senior citizens are just a bit lazier?
I still have to stand by my original point - to what extent can we trust their estimates? Normally we'd just by the predictive power of the estimate but I'd be surprised if we had any data of this sort of thing going back further than 100 years which is about 0.0005% of the timescale we're looking at here.

"photogrpahic memory" eh?

Yeah, when you checkout. Once you leave the shop you will remove the tag and there is no longer any association between you and that pair of boots

how many will be driving 400 miles to use it now it's been on /. ?

My PC isn't locked down but if I get caught with unauthorised software on it I get fired. Sooooo not worth the risk.
And you think that's less dangerous than having terrorists out to get you?

"reviewing this GPL our lawyers advised us that any products compiled with GPL'ed tools - such as gcc - would also have to its source code released."
I'm still chuckling...(IANAL - I just read groklaw)

Just always been curious about this.
Obviously I haven't RTFA but presumably they're doing somekind of analysis on the data?
