I seem to recall from my marketing classes that new companies who want to distribute to certain grocery stores must purchase shelf space up front, along with providing the product. I'm not sure the details on this, but it sounds similar.
I think the easiest way to end it would be to make them say and now here is Song X brought to you by... After the 20th time hearing it in the day people would get the idea. And it costs next to nothing.
Upton noted that the extension means daylight-saving time will continue through Halloween, adding to safety. "Kids across the nation will soon rejoice," said Upton, because they'll have another hour of daylight trick-or-treating.
This is the silliest reason I've ever heard of. Energy consumption I can understand if the facts support that it will really make a difference.
Here in northern Michigan for our family at least we always wait for it to get dark before we go out. Maybe it's like having snow for Christmas, but it's doesn't seem like Halloween would be the same when you can see just how cheap all the costumes and decorations really are.
Also how would this affect livestock? How do they know what time it is? If daylight savings time is so great, why revert at all why not just move it forward the whole year and let Indiana print their own TV Guides.:)
This is stupid. If people do copyright violation, then let the music industry have them. That's the idiotic out of proportion punishment that needs to stop. Hiding it in tuition fees is just enabling the RIAA to keep on bullying people.
The College just wants to be their supplier. They should also make sure they are the only provider of drugs and alchohol on campus. Then students wouldn't have to worry about getting caught by authorities and the schools, they can go sample everything because their tuition paid for it and the school gets more money for doing un-needed construction to pad the presidents resume while still justifying a 7 to 10% tuition increase per year.
(My old school hiked tuition 8% while swapping the football field and library. Nothing wrong with either, or great about the replacement.)
First you comparing a copyright issue with a physical good. This leads to the whole "intellectual property" confusion. Ideas are not property. They can't ever REALLY be controlled. We can agree not to copy things, or to only use trade marks in certain ways, etc but you can only sue people. You can't stop it. Even DRM just slows things down.
Second you argument is to broad. Copyright wouldn't stop others from making the same kind of thing, only from making the exact same thing.
Assuming Copyright covered McDonlads burgers it doesn't stop Burger King or you from buying and making your own, but you can't make and give away McDonalds burgers if you know the recipe. The analogy breaks down because it doesn't work with real-world goods.
The constitution allows for a temporary monopoly on creative works. Fair use is allowed, and it's defined in United States Code, section 107.
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include--
1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
2. the nature of the copyrighted work;
3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.
So look over those factors and think about what people copying TV shows implies. The rules only say that evaluating Copyright infringment should INCLUDE these factors. Don't think judges will be limited to them. I could easily see adding
5. the number of copies created and distributed of the copyrighted work.
Finally the justification for copying in your argument is just silly...
What can I do? I don't like...
Keywords there is "I don't like". I don't like having to pay for Photoshop. I don't like having to buy CD's for $15 each. Your options are buy or not buy. Letting your friend have a copy of your DVD = bad, letting your friend borrow your copy of your DVD = good. See the difference?
What you can do is NOT distribute your copies. In the U.S. you have a copyright to make your own personal copies or limited distribution for the purpose of learning. You don't have world wide redistribution rights for exact replicas of the entire works.
The key thing you need to understand here is the difference between making a backup and SHARING or DISTRIBUTING that backup. A pirated copy of my software may or may not equal a lost sale because who can say if the person would have bought my software? What people WOULD have done is irrelevant.
Think of a bank teller who gives away a thousand dollars to everyone who comes to their window as soon as they walked up because "they would have robbed me to get it anyway". It's a bad analogy because once again we're using real world items to compare to copyright of the intangible, but the point is that the person who GAVE them the money/software/movie/song is breaking the law.
People can give away their software and destroy their copies, right of first sale. If they don't get rid of their copies then they are becoming distributers and copyright infringers and should be liable for that.
It's like Visual Basic for Video Games. Pretty cheap, nice libraries and easy to get started in. It's not going to get every last frame out of your computer, but it's really fun and easy to get into. I use it to create little games for my 4 year old.
How are we going to secure our borders without a national ID system? A nation without the power to control its own borders isn't really nation. It's just a hunk of land.
Right.
So if you were going to secure your house, I suppose you would require name tags instead of installing a real security system. That's the logic going on here.
Windows 95/98 is still a DOS base, so it uses the basic VGA color codes...

I've always used this method for powering computers over ethernet. It even works for those high end desktops. Plus I don't have tons of cables under my desk.
Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free... Yeah, that's something you want to carve on a gift you give to another country. Of course if things keep up like this then perhaps that will describe the US.
Meanwhile, Brent, who received a $100,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to develop Qualrus, is now looking for distributors for the product
So he's given $100,000 to develop the program and then when it's finished gets to profit from the sale of the program.
What did that 100K of Government money achieve for the government?
How many people do you think abort the installation of unsigned drivers, even when XP warns them that they are unsigned. I'd presume it is a very high percentage.
The last few devices I purchased had this in their instruction manuals. 1. Insert CD 2. Run Setup 3. Click past Unsigned Driver warning 4. enjoy your hardware
If you want to add cheese to a Big Mac, McDonalds charges and extra 50 cents.
*BUT*
If you order a Quarter Pounder w/Cheese WITHOUT the Cheese they won't give you 50 cents off!
I don't like cheese, I can't eat it but I have to pay for it. It's not like it's some integral part of the sandwich. They take it off at my request, and don't even include it in half of the sandwiches they sell but I'm still left paying for something I never received.
I've gotten a discount twice, but I always have to talk to the manager. I've never had considered a lawsuit, but now I'm thinking maybe I should.
I did this in High School when I first learned about transformers (electrical not the robot toys). It's an ok idea, but it's hard to wire yourself up before bed and keep connected. Plus just like a snooze alarm you eventually learn to sleep through it.:o)
Linux clearly needs better developemnt tools and more developers working on these unglamorous development tools. Projects like eclipse give me hope the first class development tools are comming to opensource. I fear C# even with Novell's $, is never going to be up to snuff with the ms version, always chasing, not living up to the write once run anywhere hope.
Possibly, but that will be a good thing too. They can only run for so long. In the long run it will keep MS from letting.NET stagnate like IE.
Almost everything they learned making the robot has been patented. So do the students who worked to create this robot end up paying the college to patent the research they performed? Do College's have patent contracts boilerplate on student applications now?

It's just a modded Phantom console from Infinium Labs.
Actually I would be very interested to see if this works. How much will the absense of this one guy affect the total amount of spam out there?
I hope someone tracks it for a few weeks.

How can I get the company to pay for my summer vacation to Cedar Point?
That sounds perfect for my small company. Where did you find the service and what are the going rates? Do you have any links you can provide?
At the bottom of this article, nicely sums up my view of things. :)
What we need is either less corruption, or more chance to participate in it.
The Principality of Sealand did it first I believe, although Petoria was probably covered by their cordless phone.
