Hypothetically... under this law... could I do publish a copyrighted book, verbatim, by encapsulating it in a "fact statement". My book would begin like this:
It is a fact that J.K. Rowling wrote the following words "[insert entire Harry Potter novel here"]
Is this not publishing a fact, which is un-copyrightable? Why would this not stand up in court?
Can the poster of this article code?
"Because nobody uses Flash for navigation"? What BS is that? Flash navigation no sweat. I can code great usable navigation that is SEO friendly using SWF Object. This also means providing ways for people with iPhones and what not. All completely user managed and dynamic and updatable through XML or a CMS.
I can also deep link any site so that custom URLs all work within it it, and Google will wonderfully grab all of the content. I can make full screen Flash, hybrid Ajax/Flash, simple Flash components. I can make a Flash site that runs perfectly in all browser for all dimensions.
Whatever you want in a comparable development time to PHP-DHTML-JS-MySQL development.
You can't blame Flash as a whole or want it to "finally say goodbye" because some people don't know how to code. In the same way you can't blame Ajax or HTML as a whole because people don't know how to code. And in the same way you can't blame Slashdot as a whole because some people make broad generalizations on things they are not qualified to speak about.
Get out of the 1990s. Get up to speed with current uses of new and existing technologies.
It's actually not the same old story. Look at the bigger picture.
What Elton is referring to not merely one format replacing another (not digimax vs beta, not radio vs tv, etc) but rather the compartmentalization of human interactions. The community aspect of creating music is disappearing.

The End is Nigh for XP
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
The End of the Year deadline won't happen. It's not a question of if you like XP or Vista better, its a question of the corporate world upgrading. Say a company has 5000 XP computers. Well, to upgrade those 5000 requires extensive testing plans, pilot groups, developer testing for in house apps, etc. Plus the bureaucracy meeting with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance! Companies have a need to continue buying new computers with XP until they have the time to fully upgrade in house to Vista. No way people can do this End of Year.
I don't feel he is just some fighting some blind cause. It was more than a matter of simply turning over the tape. Below, words from his blog - http://www.joshwolf.net/
Contrary to popular opinion, this legal entanglement which has held me in Federal Prision for the past eight months, has never been about a videotape nor is the investigation about the alleged attempted arson of a San Francisco police vehicle as the government claims. While it is true that I was held in custody for refusing to surrender the tape and that the justification for making a federal case out of this was the police car, things are not always as they appear. The reality is that this investigation is far more pervasive and perverse than a superficial examination will reveal.
When I was subpoenaed in February of last year, I was not only ordered to provide my unedited footage, but to also submit to testimony and examination before the secretive grand jury. Although I feel that my unpublished material should be shielded from government demands, it was the testimony which I found to be the more egregious assault on my right and ethics as both a journalist and a citizen.
As there was nothing of a sensitive or confidential nature on my video outtakes, I had no reason to withhold their publication once I had exhausted all my legal appeals. When that point arrived I had already spent three months behind bars. I was advised by my legal team that publishing the video would not lead to my release; instead it would indicate to the court that my imprisonment was having a coercive effect even though it was not.
This hypothesis was verified when one of my attorney's inquired whether the Assistant US Attorney would accept the footage in lieu of my testimony, he was told that the video alone would not suffice and that the US Attorney would accept nothing less than my full compliance with the demands of the subpoena. Things change.
When the judge came to realize the support for my cause was growing and that I was unlikely to waver anytime soon, he ordered both parties to meet with a magistrate judge in the hopes we could reach a solution amenable to everyone. After two rather strenuous sessions of mediation, we at last came to an agreement that not only leaves my ethics intact but actively serves the role of a free press in our so-called free socieity.
In the words of Justice Douglas, "The press has a preferred position in our constitutional scheme, not to enable it to make money, not to set newsmen apart as a favored class, but to bring fulfillment to the public's right to know".
In Gus Van Sant's Elephant, the father cannot drive, so the teenage son with the yellow shirt gets out and drives for his dad. I see this commercial as merely an extension of the film--A commentary on the Columbine States of America..
Right--This is not news. Nothing is going on here. They are not promoting PostgreSQL at all. There is no real promotion period. I'm not sure how one would come to that conclusion (other than conspiracy fears). The website is simply a set of installation guidelines. A guide to help keep people happy with Windows OS and not leave.
I disagree in part with this "missing the point" statement.
Who would want to get involved with open source if it were about donating your time and skills to help some company acquire wealth? If this were true, you would lose the community.
When I used to subscribe to AOL 1.0 they made you call to cancel. There was never a way to do it online. The waiting time was very long on the phone. I listened to a lot of bad elevator music then.
Nah, I'm quite content with having a robot that can detect wrinkles in Lincoln's clothing. And one that can identify the letters T and Y. This is perfect!
And they are not stopping at email, but at verbal communication. Soon the language we speak to one another will be codified. Meaning, if I want to talk to my girlfriend, I will speak through an earpiece mounted microphone. The mic encrypts my verbal language with a key that only she has. The words that come through my head-mounted mic then are amplified through a speaker which anyone can pick up, as if it were my voice speaking, but all garbled. Noone else can understand what I'm saying, because only she has the key on her headset, which is able to then re-articulate my words into her earpiece.
It's like a private foreign language without having to bother learning a foreign language.
Pushing law enforcement down to the people. Government is hoping the Minute Men and other sympathetics to help.
It's like Homeland Security is now hip to distributed peer-to-peer processing--a kind of SETI... not to search for outerspace aliens... but for aliens from over the rio grande.

It is the second largest prime: Both of all primes and Mersennes. It is not, as the summary states, the "largest such number ever discovered"

You left out Kucinich: http://kucinich.us/ ! Dennis 2008's website is the best. A must read... especially the video about his British wife.
I don't think it will drop in half. People are burnt out on the company, as it has lost its reputation and the trust of its users.
Aside from that, Microsoft isn't particuraly innovative anymore, and I doubt that their latest browser will shock and awe net users.
