It's a very long way from introducing a bill to seeing it out of committee, surviving kill-based amendments, brought to the floor for a vote, passed, passed again in the other chamber, signed into law, and actually implemented. There is nothing at all here to get excited about yet, if ever.
Seriously, I had never heard of that word either. It was kind of lame that the lawyer spent so much time drilling him on it.
Don't agree with you at all. After being beaten to death with the word "exculpate" in the Duke Rape Case coverage, as well as enough television lawyer shows, "inculpate" should hardly be unfamiliar to anyone with even a passing interest in the law -- and concept of how words are formed in the English language. There were, IMHO, other more amusing lawyer language in the deposition than this one word.
There's a spot down in there where the RIAA expert refers to IPV6, and this refers to 2004. That alone should get him laughed out of the tech community.
Not to mention that he maintains he can trace the IP address back to a specific ISP account and computer (emphasis mine). Unless he's a Peeping Tom with a web-cam in the defendant's house, the RIAA should be demanding their money back from him.
Oh, and then there's the place where he maintains that at the time the computer was imaged many months afterwards, that there was no wireless router in use at that time Media Sentry "discovered" this "infringer". Is there a log that keeps records of every IP address you've ever connected with?
And I have to laugh at how he refers to "registered" computers. I thought he was talking about gun registration, or some such thing. I've never heard of my own computer being "registered" to anything. Is this another invented RIAA term, like "Media Distribution System"? Has anyone else ever referred to KaZaA, or any other P2P program, as an MDS? Ray, you can't be letting the RIAA frame the terms of the debate to ignorant Judges.
And don't miss the parts where he says he didn't actually document any of his findings because there was nothing to find, however, you should go through your own copy of the disc to verify my Registry findings that no wireless router was in place. He's supposed to be the expert, and he wants the defense to replicate his findings in the Registry??? Are there any registry experts here? Probably a few, but not many. But he assures us it's there.
Biggest thing is that he says that no KaZaA was present, nor any infringing music files. The only way the RIAA can respond is you sent us the wrong hard drive. No question that the person in question might have actually been innocent. RIAA -- You Bastards!
Glad to know that we helped, Ray! Keep fighting the good fight!
The more you tighten your grip, the more people will learn about Tor (The Onion Router), the more they will setup proxies, and the more that the Internet will get clogged with useless extra traffic that didn't need to happen if you just left people more alone.
I am authorized to install any software that isn't married to the kernel.
I'm not sure that IE7 is all that married to the kernel. After all, if you don't like it (e.g. your system freezes as some IE7 users report, or you can no longer get to your on-line bookie <<<<<< bank because it doesn't run on anything but IE6) you just go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall IE7. IE6 pops right back up and you're back where you started. You should know this already since that's likely exactly what you did. You sure can't remove IE6 that way, however.
A year ago they were deleting posts (I know, one of them was mine) calling for AMD processors. Now it's Linux. Dell just wants to make the friendly appearance of listening to their customers, but they don't really care -- or at least think they know better than the rest of us what we want.
I'd use it immediately. I'd beta test it if it were offered to me for that. If it turns out worse than other approaches I'd soon quit using it, but I'd sure give it a good try first. And I presently own PS CS2.
To my mind, a more important measure of speed is how a browser affects the overall speed of your system.
Well that may be to your mind. To my mind, that's nothing more than your entire rational for writing this article. For most people, when they're browsing they're not doing anything else at the time except perhaps checking for e-mail, so that the performance hit on any other applications is non-consequential.
Hopefully more countries will come to the same conclusion.
I don't hope for that at all. Anyone who feels this way doesn't understand the terrorist mindset. They're not here to live and let live a good life. They're here to die for Allah's greatness and get the fast pass into Paradise. You can't talk with them. You can't reason with them. You either convert -- or die. They even intentionally target and kill others of their own faith in this struggle. Under these circumstances, conventional ideas of freedoms are just weaknesses to be exploited. This is a War, and we either fight it as such, or lose!
When Limewire is installed, sharing of one's iTunes library is active by default.
Sharing one's iTunes library is TOTALLY WORTHLESS. iTunes songs are encrypted with the FairPlay DRM system which has not been cracked. Having iTunes files on a machine not authorized for that particular song will not allow that song to be played. For more on how iTunes actually works, read this link.
the original copyright was issued to printers, so that they could print the Bible and be assured of some profit after all the labor was invested (with hand printing presses).
Excuse me, but are you claiming that the Bible was able to be copyrighted?
I'd be very interested in knowing if it has been established, as a matter of law, that creating a hyperlink on the World Wide Web is considered "making available".
It was certainly decided is "making available" in the case of DeCSS, the DVD Content Scrambling System defeating program. Direct hyperlinks -- i.e. clickable links -- were ruled as part of distributing an illegal program, and web-site owners with such links on them were facing court action. Only non-clickable links -- here's your link in text, now type it in yourself -- were considered acceptable by this court. So yes, it has been established.
Secondly, the way the Court resolves the issue could have a major effect all across the internet. If "making available" copyrighted works on the internet constitutes a "distribution" under the Copyright Act, even though no copies have been distributed, and there has been no sale, license, or other transfer, it means web sites and blogs can't provide links to each other or to anything else on the internet which is copyrighted, which includes almost everything on the internet.
Does this judge comprehend the full ramifications of his decision here? Seems to me another judge, in Texas, I believe, did decide he wasn't about to make the entire Internet illegal and ruled accordingly.
Don't reveal this. Keep our secret. Heaven forbid that someone else find out that a 19 cent Bic pen cap -- err, new hacking tool -- can compromise our fancy electronic Tom Swiftian, door locks. Fsk the attempts of our customers to be well-informed. It could hurt our profits.
(No thoughts about what it might do to their customer's profits after a few break-ins.)
company that has developed a reputation for going after spammers.
That's a good reason to be a Verizon customer. Didn't they also fight the RIAA as much as they could about turning over Internet subscriber information?

The expert found nothing incriminating, and the RIAA therefore maintains they were given the wrong hard drive. Now go have a beer.
I think Ray is owed a whole pitcher at least, and I'd be the first to buy him one and share it over some laughts.

Hey, it worked for SETI, and they're getting no results at all!

That may be well and good, except that most chips are running at 55C. and above. That's not my room temperature.

So it's a simple speed-for-memory tradeoff. The same sort of thing programmers have been making since the dawn of computing.
Well that may be to your mind. To my mind, that's nothing more than your entire rational for writing this article.

Second that. So he's even later than he thinks.

Linking to does equate to Making Available, witness the cases against web-sites linking to deCSS.
However, Making Available does not equate to Copyright Infringement.

That would certainly help our trade balance with China a bit, since current CFL tubes are mostly made by hand over there.
