but they're written in a particular way which itself is copyrightable. You can re-copy the facts, but (barring fair use) not the exact format in which it's written.
ummm....you mean, alphabetical?? crap, we are more screwed than even the tinfoil hat wearing voice in my head was claiming.
Also, if you somehow convinced all the users here to go to your site and post a set of threads identical to this topic, it would not be infringing despite being identical to the Slashdot dataset.
well, just because he reads slashdot does not AUTOMATICALLY mean he is unemployed. Some of us do actually have jobs. Some jobs involve computers, and some work computers will not allow users to install programs. I do not think that it is a lot to ask that playing some mp3 files through WMP should not result in the destruction of my data. It is bad enogh he had to use WMP in the first place!
At least you guys got real wine. I was brought up presbyterian and all they served was grape juice. Does that make it 3 miracles. The grape juice turns into wine, then blood, but still appears to be grape juice.
I drink Bud but mostly because it is the only cheap beer that isn't an ice-brewed nightmare (other that icehouse I guess) that has 5.6% alcohol by volume.
The thing about Amstel and (moreso) Henieken is that by the time it makes it over to the states it tastes like utter crap. Go to the netherlands and get either from the tap and they are delicious. I never really like Heineken that much but somebody made me promise to try it when I was in Amsterdam and I was amazed at the difference.
If the definition of what a VoIP carrier is was black and white then things might be a little more simple (kinda like yourself).
The FCC doesn't give a rats ass about what the definition of VoIP is. They say: You provide access to OUR networks you follow OUR rules. Simple (kinda like yourself) as that. (obviously the FCC doesnt own the networks but they do (obviously) regulate them)
You can indoctrinate anybody to anything if you give it long enough and are good at it. Why do people believe in religion, how did Nazi Germany happen, why do people always vote republican or always vote democrat? The vast vast majority of them do or did it because they were brought up being told this was right and they believe it.
The Supreme Court can rule it un-constitutional and have the law stricken. Which is the only acceptable answer, and is what any sane person wants. Also, it is the most likely outcome, I think. There is no way they are going to let this stand, even with the shift to the right.
Slashdot Mirror
if the market was willing to pay the price people would not be heading to p2p for a lower quality product in the first place.
At least I don't remember any examples where "other companies" were funding outside attacks towards competitors with almost 100 million dollars.
the iraq war?
That is a moot point as all of Edison's pantents have obviously long expired.

Prove it.

databases!! of course!!
...runs off to patent office....
Amazon shut up money here I come!!
so much for the 'rich republicans'
I was suprised when I saw these numbers too, but then I realized that most people probably don't put bribes on their tax return.

I have yet to meet a recipe that is not made better by adding beer!
there will be absolutely no incentive for anyone to offer a service to convert those millions of DRM songs into the current supported format
you better damn well hope the DMCA has been repealed by then because that is illegal.
Picked at random: Maroon 5, their album Songs about Jane. 12 tracks. Album price, $9.99
$7.99, used CD store, comes with a DRM free disc artwork and liner notes. Doesn't directly support the RIAA. Still sounds like a better deal to me.
why would they bother? This is probably the one field where security through obscurity actually works.

but the manufacturers are under no obligation to make sure that you actually can make that copy.
The problem is how stupidly easy it is to crack CSS. We CAN make the copy, but the DMCA is saying we can't because it is "encrypted".
I didn't realize that a DVD was a method... add "via the internet" to the end and you might have something patentable

I guess the one good thing about the approach of Big Brother is that the prices for forged/hacked cards skyrocket.
Saddam didn't have the weapons but wasn't 'open' to letting us look.
whaa? did i really just imagine that whole UN inspection thing??

He also didn't invent cyberpunk. Try 'Ooblik' by Phillip K. Dick for a VERY early cyberspace concept.
I love it when people try to argue how un-influencial William Gibson was while using the term cyberspace that he invented.
read your own link:1984 William Gibson wrote about "cyberspace" in Neuromancer
William Gibson coined the very term "cyberspace"
There was a movie made based on New Rose Hotel about corporate extractions. Christopher Walken was in it but it still sucked.
