They think! They reason! They apply varying degrees of effort depending on the importance of the task!
Heh, that made me chuckle. What country are you in? I'd like to go meet some of your government employees someday, they sound like quite the curiosity.
I'm a software developer but have not had any formal training in UI design or look and feel. I'm looking for something more than just "keep it simple, stupid."
Then your proper response is, "Are you sure you want me to do this? I have no training in this area."
Actually, Iraq is a bad war. Afghanistan was legit.
US: Give us bin Laden. Taliban: We don't have him. US: Bullshit. Give us bin Laden. Taliban: OK, we have him, but we'll try him in our own special way. US: Bullshit. Give us bin Laden. Taliban: Come and get him. But remember the USSR. US: [invades]
Yeah, because the Amendments are listed after the section listing the powers of Congress?
Also, note that the Constitution does not grant "IP" rights. It grants
To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
Not IP, but to Writings and Discoveries. Note that bit about "limited Times", too. Note also that it doesn't guarantee a profit.
I heard he still takes the time to get his picture taken for Symantec products that have the Norton name on them. They still pay him royalties over using his name,
Can he sue Symantec for defamation of character? The real Norton Utilities were lean, mean, useful, and essential. The current Norton-branded crap from Symantec is slow, bloated, is DRM-laden, and doesn't play well with either itself or with others. Kind of like the Anti-Norton Utilities.
What about VCRs that recorded TV did that suddenly make TV stations go bankrupt?
They did! Jack Valenti told us they would, and Jack wouldn't lie, would he???
I say to you that the VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston strangler is to the woman home alone.

Did you even RTFL? Read the dates on the correspondence in the link... that's fiction.
No, you misunderstand the OP.
Varying degrees of effort =
For launches from Canaveral, I believe EWR-127 applies. I don't know if it applies to Kwaj.

And put it in writing as a CYA.

Has anyone suggested the possibility of adding a .xxx domain suffix?
.xxx is not the one that the us.gov has (OMG, it approve5 pr0n!!!!), but rather, *WHO* decides what "must" go in .xxx.
IMO, the *real* issue of
You? Me? Bush? The Saudis? The Taliban? What about the ACLU? Or the gov.au, or maybe gov.fr?
Can Thomas cite this ruling in her appeal?
If this judgment goes against them they'll just have to gather evidence of actual distribution.
It's probably far easier for them to get their tame CongressCritters to change the law so that "making available" is a capital offense.
They also have a right to a jury trial in civil cases, so long as you're dealing with more than $20.
Piker. My first computer had three bits of memory, and it clocked at 1Hz if I was fast. No friggin kilo- prefixes for me.

So that's why the Web (another CERN invention) is used to collect pr0n!!!!
But do we know if Schroedinger has milk in his Fridge without looking?

Are you sure about Ben Franklin? He turned down a patent on his stove, to put it in the public domain.
Agreed. And the real shocker is that it's in the LA Times.
The LA Times usually parrots the xxAA line. This is not surprising, given that it is the home paper for Hollywood.

Could it be that I've started a movement? :-)

You forgot littering.... and creatin' a public nuisance.
Yeah, I know you were quoting Weird Al, but the Alice's Restaurant thing was too good to pass up.
GPL is a distribution license, not an EULA. Section 0 specifically says you don't need to agree to it to use the software.
GPL doesn't take away any of your (end users) rights under copyright law, it adds additional rights.
GPL (at least GPL2) is readable and pretty much understandable by mere mortals.
