Yes, there is a purchasing exception. If I sell you something that I have a patent on, or from someone that I have given a license to my patent, I am implicitly granting you a license to use it, resell it, etc.
Technically, you're not allowed to patent ideas, unless they are part of a process (which is the current requirement, see In Re Bilski for the full requirements, at least until SCOTUS picks it up), then you would be allowed to use, resell the total process. If you ripped out the "idea" from the rest of the process, it would depend upon their patent as to what you could do with that. That's an interesting concept though, if their patent isn't written correctly, it could be possible to pull out a computer program or algorithm by itself without infringing (the patent, says nothing of copyright).
Except as otherwise provided in this title, whoever without authority makes, uses, offers to sell, or sells any patented invention, within the United States or imports into the United States any patented invention during the term of the patent therefor, infringes the patent.
That make or use part pretty much says you're wrong. One can argue those as defenses, and you certainly aren't going to get much in terms of damages from a hobbist, but the rights granted in a patent is the right to EXCLUDE others as you wish. There is no requirement that any infringement be commercial.
People said the same things about Nintendo and Sega before the PS1 came out. I think the real thing to take away is that success in one console generation does not guarantee success in successive generations.
Well, there's a good chance that Verizon won't force you to upgrade your plan, at least until you get a new phone. I'm still running on the exact same plan I signed up for 5 years ago, they've just extended the end date and added/subtracted features as I've moved on.
Legal and the downloads are now at 256kbs AAC instead of 128. Makes it worth the 30% upgrade cost if you ask me. Especially since half the music I have from there Pepsi bought anyway.
What the GP and what the parent are claiming are both true. I'd imagine that there is much more "obscure" music available than popular music. The stuff that the masses are buying will be $1.29 "Long Tail" stuff will be $.69
You can upgrade, but apparently not for free. At least I couldn't yet. Not everything I've bought from there wasn't listed as eligible yet however. So it might not be completely implemented yet.
Isn't this what open source is designed for? Let the community have it and let it grow. If you set it free it'll come back to you, like Bambi or something.
You're god-damned right we are. If there's anything about America that the rest of the world hasn't learned, its that we don't like being told what to do.
More than that, I believe all three console makers(well, I know Nintendo and MS did, not sure about Sony) said they will not license an AO rated game. So even if R* wanted to sell an uncensored version direct, they would not have been able to.
it really is an interesting idea, particularly in today's age of "your data is around forever, whether you want it to be or not", current developments not withstanding. I always thought this was fascinating, for that reason. There's a certain amount of permanency to computers. They've been in use for all of my lifetime, and its hard to envision a time before they were ubiquitous (for me at least). I think this poem is really designed to show how ethereal bits can (and possibly should) be.
You'll need the base game and both expansions to see the stuff talked about in this review. But unless you spend all day in front of your keyboard (or play as a blood elf or draenei), you can always buy the base game, get to lv. 55 or so, then get the burning crusade, level to 68 or so, then get lich king. You won't be able to go to the new areas, but that's not absolutely necessary when you're level 7.
Kind of. I know its not uncommon for a school to own the patents arising from student research. I'd imagine that it really comes down to what the agreement was beforehand. If Digipen has changed their stance (or even just didn't sufficiently clarify it for students), then that's bad. If that's how it was going in, the students don't have anybody to blame.

I'm not sure about that, but I am sure that Viacom doesn't want to spend the money to find out.

I don't know about you, but I say "enhance" whenever I do anything in Photoshop.
Exactly, the GP treated the symptom and not the disease.

Yeah, less than half of my purchases were eligible. I'm hoping they become so soon.

You must be new here. The editors are such in name only.

Leaving off the mystery of "whodunit" until the second movie worked in Kill Bill ;)

Why exactly is a Japanese car an example of American idocy?
Easy, Wendy's Double Stack. Wendy's Value Menu > McDonald's

Since there's no restrictions on machines that go 'pong', I don't think they'll have any problems.
They need to make a series based on Klingons is what they need to do. Cause that would be awesome.
