The fundamentalists got it all wrong, and so do the evolutionists. It is absolutely clear in the Rig-Veda that the world was created by Purusha.
This 2000yr old documented view of creation is more consistent than the bullshit "evolution" that has been around for 50 years, and has changed its story every decade or so.
Lets see how the fable of 'evolution' holds up over centuries, or millenia. 100 years from now, evolutionists will be written up as a minor blip of humanist phillosophy that went zealously wrong.
Better check your bible. my bible clearly shows that Adam and Eve werent the first/only couple on earth.
Day 6 Genesis Chapter 1:27 - says God made people - lots of them (specifically plural) and then told them to go make babies. God took the next day off.
Later on, in chapter TWO, we learn about a special deal, Adam and Eve. (If you read through Talmudic/Kabbalah sources you come across the idea that Eve wasnt the first woman either...) So, theologically speaking, Adam was the first man to receive revelation from God, but, not necessarily the 1st man created.
"How would you even know who had the articles in the first place? What if the articles are dispersed amoung 100 individuals?"
Obviously the same problem happens when artifacts are under public-administration - as evidenced by the charges against Ary's. We all have heard the story of 'moonrocks' being sold off, and other artifacts being given away by the 'trustees'. There's no greater accountibility by having items overseen by a public trustee. Arguably, LESS accountability. If some article of mine is stolen, I'm going to pursue it vigrously.
"What happens when the articles are sold to other private collectors? And what happens if they decide to charge for access?"
What happens when a state musuem sells off paintings because they cant meet budget? Same thing as a private collector selling it privately.
"Should something aquired using public tax money be allowed to enrich one person? And how will these items be cared for?"
Millitary surplus is sold off every day, so where is the problem with publicly-paid items being sold to private individuals? There is no problem, so long as there is accountability on the public side of the finances involved.
"Will they last for coming generations? I think public institutions are better equiped to answer these questions"
Ancient manuscripts, the famous paintings of europe they have survived for centuries primarily because they were in the hands of private collectors. Certainly there were no 'public museums' in the 1500s, 1600s, 1700s - public trust is a relatively new idea. Private ownership, while having shortfalls, has a longer track record of maintining artifacts.
If I cant make a clear determination on a peice of property (such as an artifact), then who is served by putting it in a glass case?
Exactly who *can* make determinations on it? Whats wrong with a hunk of Apollo-12 in private ownership? I have a better chance of accessing it retained by private hands than would in "public-adminstered" hands.
I'm not excusing the outright fraud/theft that the guy did. Just commenting on the so-called 'horror' of artifacts going to private hands.
Surely a mountain bike trail is suitable to you, but its not suitable to me. I dont live anywhere near it, so why should public-funds goto making your life more enjoyable? I could whine about the money being "better spent on infrastructure...education..."
There is a clear example of "public" properties being used for the enjoyment of a small group. Exactly the reason why your counter statement is wrong.
I read the article, and while part of me says "he should be thrown in jail for stealing stuff", another part of me says "so what" because the items for sold can never really be touched/felt by Joe Q. Public.
Ayn Rand had it right when she said that the key thing about "public" property is that its definately not "public". You cant alter it, improve it, use it.
Left a sour taste in my mouth, your posting broke my heart! Now I'm going to throw away my second hand guitar and return to working in the IT dept. Suffering through exploitation, manipulation, but damn it, I dont get no group sex!

Every performance is copyrighted. If you make a work, you own the copyright to it. Your question was more "does the record company have rights to the artist's live performance", and that would boil down to the contract they signed.
I would think that the record company does hold some rights to the live performances.
I bought one of the airline power adapters for my Thinkpad as I had a long flight from Newark to Manilla on Cathay Pacific - having something to do was crucial. Turns out that the availability of "power seats" is spotty, so you need to ask before check-in. The A330 has good coverage, and Cathay was very accomodating.
There is also an inflight "email" service available via a special USB connector at the seat. The service is essentially "web mail" and costs about $20 for a 24hr use. Its not very good, has a 20 minute lag time, but, there's not much else to do when you're somewhere over the south pacific.
The inverter worked flawlessly, and was well worth the $60.
How about a windows version without IE ! And while we're at it, lets get rid of that lame "Network Explorer" that hangs all the time. Thus, the proper Euro name would be:
I will always use simple passwords like 'password' or 'root' because I keep all my Assisnation/Laundering files encrypted on a RAM drive powered with a capacitor that keeps it valid for about 5 minutes.
Not long enough for the PC to make it back to their forensics lab, but, good enough to last a reboot.

My take on this patent application is to "sell" access to reference books - probably more for trade books than the the casual "Idiots Guide To XP".
I can see a subscription service that allows you to browse through some medical text seeing bits and peices relevant to your search, but, not the entire page. To see the entire page, you gotta "buy" the page. The implication that you must first own the physical text is a red-herring - its really about rights to use the book in "whole, or in part".
I can see it being useful to ME for access to pages from the Chilton manuals etc.
Somewhat off topic, but, a neat side bar to the story would be "how long can you compute with out being plugged in".
Seems that batteries havnt really improved much in the last 20 yrs. The only thing that seems to have greatly improved is power-consumption with better, low power chip designs.
I wonder how long an old Apple ][e could run if it was re-designed with low power components? (not that I'd want to actually use it!) Could I run it for a couple days on flash-light batteries?
Anyone have any info on how many amps the old "Lugable" PCs would draw?
Simply put, I'm not going to buy products that are intentionally designed to be harder to use as I wish.
Oddly, I dont feel that I'm missing anything. The few movies I would have watched on DVD, I either saw in the theatre or caught it on VHS. The few CDs I bought in the last few months didnt seem to have any DRM associated with it.
And I'd be nucking-futs to get songs from iTunes with the associated DRM problems. If I want a song bad enough, I'll capture it from my SIRIUS subscription (ha) or eMule it.
Frankly, I dont care about IP issues when it comes to music. Why? Despite an implied contract between the Record Company and me, I never pay for distribution when I hear a song on the Radio, arguably not on SIRIUS. The problem of payment is a *distributors* problem.
I totally agree thats not an argument that has any legal standing, but, thats how I feel. So, for the time being I'm going to continue pirating via FM-Radio and/or Kazza. Its all the same from my viewpoint.

Let's see here: I can pay $5/mo to get less-than-broadcast quality music... hear it with ads (just a matter of time) and get it through AOL?
Ah - Radio is truly DEAD.
Hmm, I'll just continue downloading MP3s: Higher quality, better choice, no ads, and is free.
Didnt that fail MISERABLY once? The name "Waterworld" comes to mind. Ha ha ha
Not even remotely funny asshole.
If your points are correct, then why is video-taping in a movie theatre a problem?

Sucks, but, i think thats the way it is.
It's time. Let it go... I'd rather have the budget money re-allocated to keeping the Huble in orbit for another 4 months - its far more useful.
