That's exactly the problem. People "excerpt" the body of the article (change the headline and omit the byline) without reference or attribution in their "blogs" all the time.
That does not appear to be the case with The Drudge Retort (the site being DMCA'd). The site appears to have a link to the original story and a short summary. I am not familiar with the site though so maybe they are talking about a different section.
Despite the howls from the far left, Bush didn't actually "lie and people died". Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence, own report proves that. For example,
That is not what Sen. John D. Rokefeller's own website says.
Washington, DC -- The Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, John D. (Jay) Rockefeller IV, and a bipartisan majority of the Committee (10-5), today unveiled the final two sections of its Phase II report on prewar intelligence. The first report details Administration prewar statements that, on numerous occasions, misrepresented the intelligence and the threat from Iraq. The second report details inappropriate, sensitive intelligence activities conducted by the DoD's Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, without the knowledge of the Intelligence Community or the State Department.
Think about it, what exactly has been shut down by the government lately? Freenet or Truecrypt anyone???!!
I challenge anyone to even find one credible attempt by anyone in government to shut down one of the nominees.
Stop hating companies. If they really were making false or deceptive claims, the vulture lawyers would have tried to rake the company over for all that they are worth. If your position is right, it would be too easy!
No kidding, you would have expected to see at least two, maybe even three, class action suits by now.
If I go outside every night wearing overalls covered in blood stains, dig holes in my front yard, and bury body sized bundles wrapped in garbage bags every night for a couple of weeks, I'll probably be investigated for murder.
You would be investigated, but if the only evidence presented at the case was the odd behavior you would be found not-guilty. The MPAA/RIAA use the odd behavior as not only the probable cause to investigate but also as the evidence to prosecute.
You are indeed correct. However I own the copyright to the content thereof, and your recording would be a derivative work of my speaking.
That is incorrect. Copyright only covers fixed media so your speaking is not copyrighted until it is fixed, in this case onto tape or something. Now, if you were reading from a published manuscript that would be different and would cover your example of the original songwriter.
Mac Pro vs. Dell Precision: A price comparison (Updated)
There's been a lot of baloney published online about the pricing of Apple's Mac Pro lately. I've had numerous emails from readers curious why I won't "admit" that the Mac Pro is not only competitive with a certain Dell workstation, but it's actually quite a bit cheaper. I think Apple's done a commendable job with the Mac Pro. But seriously, Apples are still more expensive than PCs across the board. They just are.
Let me know when a US citizen is placed in jail or killed for anything like a blog.
The MPAA was granted an injunction against 2600 magazine over a link to DeCSS. Failure to remove the link would have resulted in contempt of court charges that would have led to fines and/or jail time. Censorship absolutely occurs in the US it is just for different reasons that Syria.
That doesn't benefit Apple. And once again, Apple didn't want the DRM it is only a burden on the company. But the labels insisted.
Again, the only evidence you have that supports this assertion is what Apple says it wanted. This despite the fact that the DRM is obviously adavantageous to them.
Compared to the other DRM schemes being used or proposed for music at the time, Apple's Fairplay was actually a lot more customer-friendly. It was like a fluffy kitten compared to the vicious DRMs the studio execs wanted. And Apple had to fight to get that.
That's what they say they did. Meanwhile, their DRM scheme had comparable restrictions to the other DRM systems available at the time.
I'll grant they can stay aloft longer. But I question the "cheaper to operate" if you figure totally amortized costs for the plane, the maintenance, the bunker for the pilot, the satellite, etc.
A pilot in a bunker is a pilot not in the vehicle. So subtract the weight of the safety equipment and the weight of the pilot you should see quite a reduction in fuel costs.
Apple was upbraiding the record industry execs for a good three years during and through the Napster debacle. Apple was telling them that customer-hostile DRM that took away obvious and visible consumer rights wouldn't work...
That's what they say they were doing. Meanwhile, they were implementing customer-hostile DRM that takes away obvious and visible customer rights.
When you create a work, you also maintain and keep the moral rights to the work. That basically means that another person can't modify the work.
WRONG! If I buy a book or a CD I can do ANYTHING I want to it except copy/re-distribute. I can make a paper mache puppet out of the book or a coaster of the CD and there is no "moral right" preventing it.
IANAL. I just know the difference between copyrights, trademarks, patents, industrial design, and trade secrets.
Obviously not.
There's an example where a sculptor created a flock of geese in a mall for decoration. For one Christmas season, the mall tied ribbons around the necks of the geese. The artist sued the mall and won, because it violated his moral rights to the work.
I don't like 99 per cent of the food at McDonalds. Does that mean that I get to waltz in and steal an Egg McMuffin because that's what I like and not everything on their menu is an Egg McMuffin, so to punish them I steal and they get NO money, not even for the stuff I do like?
You could walk in, copy the recipe and cook your own McMuffun though...

big number [majority share] * small number [Linux graphics market] = still a small number [-1 troll]
It is funny that your big number is a number between 0 and 1. And your small number is at least in the hundreds by now!
Two interesting points:
The longest quote used was 2 paragraphs "from the end of the article." They don't say how long of an article though.
The article writer attempts to address fair use but just happens to leave out the "for the purpose of comment and criticism" aspect.
That's exactly the problem. People "excerpt" the body of the article (change the headline and omit the byline) without reference or attribution in their "blogs" all the time.

Well, then! Now I'm sure she's all set to vote wisely on issues like the regulation of ISPs,
More wisely than someone who does not know what an ISP is....
Sure, that's the spin Rockefeller wants to put on it, but what about the actual report from the committee?
Read it for yourself if you don't believe. The actual report is conveniently linked to at the top of the page I referenced.

Well David, you are passing up sales while preventing absolutely nothing.

I suggest you re-prioritize your life if your life doesnt allow an hour or so spent in a bookstore, then worry about finding books.
No kidding, the poster would ratyher read books than hang out at the mall. What a nerd! Slashdot is no place for riffraff like that.
4) Man, im getting tired, but i could put a 100 bullets theorizing on numbers that PROVE NO CAUSALITY AT ALL!|
Don't tire yourself out. The whole point of the race example was that no causality has been proven.

Sadly, more thorough analysis supports the claim.
Phew, I thought New York was going to get into gaming. Had me worried for a new york minute there.
That's funny. I thought New York was trying to get out of video games!

The platform is still pretty useless to the application developer, the artist, the musician, the scientific researcher, etc..
Python runs on Win CE so it works for this developer.
See, when we were growing up we didn't have science shows aimed at 7 year olds, so 7 year olds...
