Concepts die and slip into obscurity all the time. With all the miseducation regarding copyrights nowadays, what's to stop that to happening to the concept of public domain?
I disagree. For something to enter the public domain today, it must've been created around the early part of last century. I don't think too many people are all that thrilled about the chance to use works from that time period.
If you're implying that works without a copyright symbol attached are in the public domain, you are mistaken. Copyrights in the U.S. are opt-out, not opt-in.
Yeah, and the concept of open source copylefts won't help this matter. Open source software written nowadays won't be in the public domain for about a century.
I think Dr. Lessig overlooked copylefts as a viable alternative to public domain.
Parent hit the nail on the head. What matters in this case is whether the defendant's actions constitute inducement, i.e. encouragement, of illegal activities. The answer is undoubtedly yes.
I do think my e-mail should be backed up, and I trust the good folks at Google to do that for me.
Moving from one computer to another constantly, it's a must that I have a webmail account that I can use anywhere, and for that, GMail is simply the best.
A barred spiral galaxy is a spiral galaxy with a band of bright stars emerging from the center and running across the middle of the galaxy. Spiral arms appear to emerge from the ends of the "bar" in these galaxies, whereas they appear to emerge directly from the core in ordinary spiral galaxies.
None of which are forms of speech protected by the Constitution.
Bzzzzzt! Wrong.
Scandalous writing is certainly protected. False writing is protected, especially when used to parody or in fiction. Malicious writing is also protected given that it is not threatening or libelous.
Buzzz! Wrong. Agriculture remains the largest industry in the United States. In addition, as others have pointed out, farmers aren't actually that keen on DST.
Thanks for playing, though. We have some lovely parting gifts.

I wish I had mod points for you.
Mod parent up!
That's got to be a big distraction in money and effort for both companies.
Gee, and I wonder which company will cope with that better?

These guys make a living out of publishing attacks on things they don't understand. It's just all money to them.

Why not? If something harms people, why should it matter what you call it or how it harms people?
This is very sound advice.
In Philadelphia I only attend the Ritz theatres. I think they don't even let kids in there. No cell phones or commercials either.
I'd be interested in seeing the revenue data for independant theatres versus big stupid chains. Perhaps not everyone in the industry is suffering.
Yeah, but seeing as how they are very different companies, there's no double standard, as you imply.
There is a guarantee, and it's their privacy policy. RTFPP.
It rhymes with e-mail.

2. Undoubtedly better than Outlook.
3. Yes. This is Google we're talking about.

GMail has much more than large storage. As has been pointed out elsewhere, it has a clean interface and excellent spam filtering.
If the switch to a different e-mail address worries you, just have your mail forwarded to your GMail account and slowly phase out the old one.
Do you mean Booooooooo-urns?
5. excellent spam filtering
I can't remember the last time GMail missed a spam.
With all the plug-ins for this, it's beginning to look an awful lot like a platform for widgets like Tiger and Konfabulator.
I think it'd be nice to have such a program available on all major platforms.

The battery life of this seems impressive.
From the specs:
BATTERY LIFE
Approximately 17 hours
PLAY TIME
16 hours with WMA (64Kbps) or 8 hours with MP3 (128Kbps) per 256MB
Let's just hope this one is as unsuccessful as the Drug Czar.
If I had mod points, they'd be yours.
It's nice to hear from employers about this.
Since we no longer have a farm-based economy

I manually cut holes in punch cards whenever *I* need to update a program.
