Judge Marilyn C. Patel gave the ruling in the Bernstein case that source code was speech. On the other hand, she also gave the ruling in RIAA v. Napster.
Laws of nature: cause those outside the legal system to pay little attention to the court case, other than maybe to discuss the case and snicker at its disjunction from our world, then go on and flaunt the law until some legislator notices that having a widely ignored law reduces respect for the law and takes it off the books.
Wrong. Some legislator notices that the law is being widely ignored, and introduces a new law that increases the penalties for violating the old law.
Didn't an earlier article on Aimster point out that it used a form of encryption as an access control, and that the RIAA would be in violation of the anti-circumvention clause of the DMCA if they snooped?
Of course it would help! With the wonders of UTICA and DCMA, you can pretty much put whatever you want in licenses and have it be binding!
I know this was tongue in cheek, but does Avery live in MD? It would be interesting to see if we could (ab)use UCITA by enforcing the license under that.
Unfortunately, I am so right handed that my left arm is this useless appendage that just hangs there. Seriously, I can touch-type, and catch a ball in a mitt with it, but the fine motor coordination in the left arm and wrist just isn't there.
IANAL (thank goodness), but it seems to me that if this happened in CA, it would be a violation of the Brown Act, which states that all governmental meetings must be public, and of public record. In CA, then, wouldn't the public meeting where the text became law put the "copyrighted" material in the public record, and therefore the public domain?
1) You need to be running W2K Advanced Server or better.
2) You need to boot with the/3GB flag on the kernel
3) You need to have your app marked as 3GB aware.
If any of these three conditions fails, you only get 2GB of user space.
Is New Jersey a UCITA state? If it isn't, then is SDMI's click through licence worth even the electrons that displayed it? I thought click-throughs weren't enforceable (except under UCITA)?
I used to work for a defense contractor, so I know how these things should be tested. You don't just test on good inputs, you test with bad ones. That's why I said that the app crashing was unacceptable. However, nothing should ever cause an OS to crash, especially in a military environment.
It doesn't have to be a BSOD, it could be some other failure mode, which is what appeared to happen to the Yorktown.

re the title:
Robin Williams once made a "Martian Haiku":
Red Sand between my toes
Summer Vacation in outer space
That was a martian haiku, thank you
From "Reality: What a Concept". Of course, it's not a haiku.
We have the same thing with some judges.

it's a *digital crowbar* or whatever.
Last I heard, it was legal to own a crowbar, and to tell people where to get a crowbar. Heck, I own one myself!
Oh no! Now the police will arrest me!
Why, oh why, hasn't the DeCSS team referred to Judge Patel's ruling in the Bernstein case that source code is in fact, speech?
Of course, Patel is also the same person who signed Napster's death warrant.
The butterfly keyboard from the old IBM Thinkpads was nice. Fullsize, nice layout.

The truth about this can be found here.
OK, clueless dude. "megaton" = equivalent yield to one million tons of TNT.
Therefore, Tunguska was anywhere from 2000 to 6700 times more powerful than the referenced explosion.
Sheesh! Can't anyone do simple math anymore.

Already happening - in reverse. Remember one of the networks digitally removed NBC from Times Square during their NewYearsEve2K broadcast?

To any government survey that asks for your religion is:

Does this mean that all corporate mail from AOL/TW will be in ALL CAPS FROM NOW ON?
there goes my karma...
Actually, it was Yom Kippur.

Any lawyers out there want to comment?
\i{Actually, a lot of those stereos are built by the big-name brands - Sony, Blaupunkt etc - and then rebadged by the car manufacturer.}
True. For a while, Honda used Alpine, and Mazda used Clarion. I think BMW still uses Blaupunkt.
And of course, the Mule is 300 or so years after the fall of the Empire.
What sort of crack have you been smoking? 2600 LOST the original case. This is 2600's appeal, not the MPAA's!
Crap. Is everything tripling in price? Electricity, Natural Gas, Gasoline, and now CD-R media?
There are a couple of conditions.

Actually, Congress passed a resolution "authorizing the use of force", so that may have been considered a declaration of war.
Dude, I was referring to the Yorktown discussion thread. I never said it BSOD'ed. I said crashed. There's a difference.
Here's the article about the Yorktown.
