Maybe some intesting stuff in the text of that Baystar report, but this isn't it. Lemme cut & paste from the heading above the graph you cite: "Top Ten Investors All PIPES since 1995." Now I'll go back to reading the pdf, to see if there's anything of real interest there...
Hmm, someone thought I was trolling w/ that assertion. You won't find much reference to Reuters' Yankee Group majority stake (which they're currently trying to unload, according to BW) on their own site, but it is in the financial filings (not the usual 10Ks, as they're not US-based) and on ketupa.net, a site which tracks media conglomerates.
Found in Business Week online, this article Rescuing Reuters: "Yankee and Tower are on the block." I believe Reuters stake in Yankee Group is 51%. A shame they're dumping it, considering how nicely Yankee complements the half-truths and corporate pr mongering of Reuters alleged news reporting.
Yep. If you think Yankee's anal-ysts are bad, consider how nicely they complement the half-truths and corporate pr mongering of Reuters alleged news reporting.
One thing to keep in mind though; the government gets interested in and begins pursuing investigations a long time prior to telling you or me that they are doing so. It's not in the interest of justice, in most cases, and can be counter-productive, for investigators to be too talkative about their work in progress.
In recent months there've been postings in various places to the effect that various regulatory bodies and the Justice Department are turning a blind eye to criminal behaviour on the part of sco and ms, because people have submitted complaints, but nothing has resulted. Regulators can't catch a whiff of something wrong on Monday and haul the perps off to the pokey and throw away the key on Tuesday. Proper investigations take a great deal of time and effort. It could very well be that investigations have been underway since last summer. We should expect to hear of the fruits of any such investigations many months from now.
I am sure that authors of this treaty fully realize that large number of people are going to be effected by these agreements, yet they fail to include a simple summary of changes, so that us non layer types can understand what is going on.
just as we must fully realize that the pols consider the lack of a comprehensible summary as a feature, not a bug.
...according to the PR, the offer is only valid "should NASA announce the discovery of conclusive evidence of an ocean on Mars between now and February 29, 2004."
plate glass window contractor's night shift

The Virus Squad

· Score: 1
The was a case several years ago in Manhattan, where a plate glass window replacement contractor was found to have a night crew on special assignment - smashing store windows. Of course they got busted for it.
While this decision is a very good thing, it's important to recognize that this was a case in a state, not federal, court involving specifically California's Uniform Trade Secrets Act and as such the decision isn't binding on other jurisdictions.
When I was taking courses in the mid 70s, our Cobol instructor, I believe it was a Mr. Grice (who was also a presbyterian minister), told that very same disgusting story. This is the first time I've heard it repeated since (and hopefully not again for at least another 30 years). I can't recall exactly what his point was either, maybe a lead up to discussing string variables.
Oops, my bad (noticed right after I posted). Just got home from a long night shift and my glazed over eyes had missed the 2d half of your comment (about having the link, but it timing out). I was able to watch it in its entirety around this time yesterday and I'd guess it will eventually start responding again after the slashdotting (which I've effectively exacerbated) dies down. Would someone please mod my prior comment down to zero %-) Thx.
IANAL, but again, oversimplification, especially since you're only drawing on one paragraph of the code. Examples of other factors to be used in determining fair use are what portion of the original work is copied and what is the effect of the copying on the market value of the author's copyrighted material. But I'm oversimplifying myself. My main point is, fair use law involves many shades of gray and in any specific case YMMV. If you were involved in a dispute involving fair use you would most certainly need the services of a good IP lawyer.
The store seems a wee bit hesitant, but while waiting for it to try to load I stumbled across this lovely pdf, linked from their legal page. I'm sure I'm among the last to notice it, but really, why would anyone think that sco would have a Code of Conduct and Ethics, just like a real company?
Figuring which parts of it Darl and minions are in flagrant violation of is left as an exercise for the reader
As one who worked in community radio in the late 70s, I well remember the infamous WXPN case; a large section of the National Federation of Community Broadcasters legal manual discussed its implications for all broadcasters. I find some of that material, coincidentally, in the LPFM supplement to the current edition. Besides the assessed fine, renewal of the station's license remained in limbo for several years. The restoral of WXPN's license turned on the degree of control over the station's programming that was required of the University's trustees.

Probably the best known such case concerning a noncommercial station involved WXPN-FM, a Philadelphia station licensed to the University of Pennsylvania. In December, 1975, WXPN-FM was fined two
thousand dollars for the broadcast of obscene material in connection with a live, weekly, call-in program, "The Vegetable Report." Notice to Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, 57 F.C.C. 2d 782 (1975). During the shows in question, callers carried on sexually explicit conversations with the disc jockeys that included the words "fuck," "piss," and "titties" and discussed "beating off" and "blow jobs." During one call, a three-year old boy was asked if he could say "fuck" and the mother of the boy was told that she should let her son "screw" her so he wouldn't turn out to be a rapist.
--end quote--
A bit impatient aren't we? I mean, they've barely turned on the office lights in the launch of their new biz model. It would be downright suspicious and worthy of an SEC investigation if the HAD announced a profit.
I haven't formed an opinion on their odds of success, but I can say unequivocally it's too soon to tell.
...and possession of gigabucks is a proof of one's smarts? Accumulating vast hoards of cash is in no way a requisite (nor even necessarily desirable) application of one's intelligence. Of course it may take smarts to realize that truth.
Further digging indicates you are probably right - no cocoa yet for PS.
Still, and off on a tangent here, it looks like I'll need to keep my PS 7 handy after I upgrade, in order to use ColorSync settings in the print driver for my HP Photosmart printer. The latest HP drivers will, at long last marginally work under MacOS 10.2.8, but only HP's inferior Colorsmart option appears in the corresponding color popup menu in the driver, when running in other than OS 9 (I can choose either under OS 9).
Let's see... Mr. Gates has donated billions to charities, AIDs research, etc. How much has Linus donated?
Arguably Linus has donated much, much more to the benefit of all worthy causes. Unfortunately, I don't believe Linus has even a single billion $ to his name.
before anyone gets excited because of "Justin Wick"'s signature, realize he is not really a NASA scientist but a little intern guy.
I would say Justin is an intern who has been doing some pretty damned impressive work that he should rightly be quite proud of. I don't see anything particularly self-agrandizing in his many informative posts here.
So what is it you do at McDonalds, Mr. Anonymous Coward? Sweep the parking lot and clean the restrooms?

I totally agree. I'm not an aerospace engineer, but this seems like a complicated perpetual motion machine to me.
The answer's obvious. Why of course it'll have oars - manned by passengers flying coach. They're just omitted from the initial artist's conception.

there is no such thing as "fair use" for commercial purposes, and the percentage of the song used is irrelevant
Your over-simplification is profoundly incorrect. See bitlaw's summary: Fair Use in Copyright.
