Kindle doesn't have an LCD. There are no polarizers, liquid crystals, or bending of crystals to change the direction of the polarization.
Kindle has an e-paper display, which uses something resembling ink that can be turned black or white, or a few shades in between, and doesn't require any power to maintain that shade. It looks very similar to paper, and isn't color so the resolution is pretty good.
The Sony e-book reader also has an e-paper display, so LCDs aren't being used on new e-book readers.
Have a distributed search engine, and then to join the network you have to upload a piece of easily obtainable music, A, where the license of that music is that anyone not connected with the MAFIAA can upload that music freely to any network. Then if the MAFIAA tries to sue anyone from evidence they got by joining that network, you can counter-sue them for uploading music A.
IANAL, so people will have an easy time of finding the holes in my idea.
That should be tied to copyright as well, where after you stop selling/supporting something, it should go into public domain, not more than 15 years after you initially sell something. You could have the source in a secure escrow type service to prevent against a company going out of business.
Copyright is already too crazy, with infinity+ years (in google speak), which needs to be stopped.
The copyright holder is the Japanese studio. I didn't say that nobody could issue the takedown, just that nobody **in the US** could issue the takedown, since it wasn't licensed.
Now, I don't know whether someone outside the US can issue DMCA takedown notices against a US website, but that is a seperate issue.
That, and usually the DMCA notices go to the website, and not the downloaders.
Google will drop sites from their listings that do that. Experts Exchange uses JS to hide the results, but they don't get rid of them from the page, as that would annoy google.
BMW in Germany was giving a different page to google than to browsers, and got dropped from search results until they fixed that.
The DMCA requires the copyright holder to issue the takedown. If the anime is unlicensed, that means that **nobody** in the US is legally able to issue that takedown, and it should be ignored, or a counter takedown/law suit should be initiated...
IANAL, of course, but the wiki page is pretty clear on that.
Ah, sweet. The gov't gets the protections against self-incrimination that the people do under the 5th amendment. Maybe this should be extended to corporations, since they are also considered "people", legally?
Law suits would get pretty rare when nobody has to say anything bad about themselves... "What design documents specifying 40% lead in the paint of those toys? That is a corporation secret"
Still, why can't the cases be herd In camera if there are secrets involved?
Don't forget that some of Baen's hardback books come with a CD full of DRM free books, and the CD says that you are allowed to make personal copies for friends...
Buy 1 physical book, get 20-30 more books on the CD in the back? That is a good reason to buy the hardback over the paperback.
What about Fair use? or, what if frames are the same between 2 different movies. (Fade to black, fade to white, common things like FBI warning, etc...)
Those pictures are very cool. I see you used a 600mm telescope. I will try to take some pictures with my 500mm mirror lens. Unfortunatly I don't have a motor mount, so I don't know what I will get.
If you read the article, it seems like they are required to save the IP you are assigned, and when. Not the IPs you connect to, but the one you got via DHCP.
What if you use an exploit that takes only 1 packet, and spoof the IP addresses? If they try and trace the "hacking" back to one of these IPs, do they get into serious trouble since "of course it is you"?
None of those are a problem for an ebook reader with some extras. The sunlight readable display is very useful compared to most laptop screens.
If I got one, I would use it for reading books out in the field when I am doing some Wildland Firefighting. Low power consumption, nice display, and durability are of more use there than the keyboard layout.

Or just use something like Freenet.

Yep, and too many people have cashed in.
Because the US is the land of the free

What? Why are you laughing so hard.

Still, why can't the cases be herd In camera if there are secrets involved?
Or, even if it is "State Secrets", why can't it be used in the trial anyways?
Are people just accepting of the fact that "State Secrets" also means "immune from opposition"?

I really hate the amazon "Sell your stuff", and in most cases the marketplace.
If I wanted used stuff, I would go to ebay.
Too bad they don't allow you to easily browse stuff that is **ONLY** on amazon.com, and not on "Joe-Bob's Shack" store.
But, why would they be able to comply?
If they really lived up to their name, they would never have the private keys, unencrypted emails, or any way to get either of those.
Require a Quorum to be there as all of the bill are read *out loud* before voting on them.
Would solve a ton of issues quickly, and make congress slow down.
What about Fair use?

The problem is that IMAX is a film camera, so you would have to get the film back to this planet.
Unless you want to use a very high resolution movie camera like the Red One.
IMAX, could be scanned at 10000 x 7000 pixels, which definitely qualifies as HD.
And we already have quite a bit of IMAX footage.
Easy way to test that:
Have a 2 year old play with the main power switches...
What about speed limits?
Most people break at least 1 every time they drive.
Were they "Sold in Taiwan" and "Made in Thailand"?
That would be consistent with the headline and summary, but they could also be very wrong.
In windows, wouldn't the HD be mounted before you can format it?
I know in most Linux distros a HD that isn't mentioned in fstab will not get mounted, but what about Windows?
I guess you have to boot from a LiveCD and format the disc to be sure.
If you read the article, it seems like they are required to save the IP you are assigned, and when. Not the IPs you connect to, but the one you got via DHCP.
So, a few orders of magnitudes less data.
What if you use an exploit that takes only 1 packet, and spoof the IP addresses? If they try and trace the "hacking" back to one of these IPs, do they get into serious trouble since "of course it is you"?
