"Although, if someone is infringing on your copyright and you cannot afford to take legal action, shouldn't you be able to sell the work including all legal claims/liabilities?"
it wasn't your copyright when they infringed it though... this is what the Judges should be throwing these cases out for, lack of standing at the time the alleged infringement took place.

All OpenSolaris ever did was make me feel like Solaris was going backwards rather than forwards, I'm pretty sure I never had an install that 'worked' properly, there was ALWAYS something wrong. Same hardware runs Linux and FreeBSD fine, so its not the hardwares fault. My fault... maybe, but considering I used to admin solaris boxes a few years back its not like I was completely clueless.
I gave up even thinking about it as I couldn't find any information about whether my hardware was supported... the hardware database was next to useless
You're exaggerating. As far as I know not a single shot has been fired anywhere on earth because of a picture. There was even a draw-prophet-Mohammed-day a while ago to show those fools that us Western people like to sometimes insult others... so loads of pictures were drawn and posted online and not one bomb went off anywhere.
excuse me... but a madman armed with an axe and knife breaking into your house intent on killing you for having drawn a cartoon is not something to ignore... see here
all of a sudden I'm all in favour of being able to wear a Burkha in public... in order to preserve my anomynity!!!
fsck the French and their anti-burkha law... and fsck the British parliament as apparently all of a sudden their in favour of an anti face covering law,,,
with massive cuts on the way, each ministry is frantically pointing out where cuts can be made in other ministries... and it doesn't help that beancounters can only see direct savings by cutting things... savings through efficiency are harder to measure... even worse, they find it hard to contemplate spending money somewhere to actually save because people are able to take advantage of the apps and not have to waste time making a face-to-face appointment which requires having people employed to handle
IIRC while they were filthying up the air their motto was "better living through chemistry", a blatant lie. Why should I listen to anything they say today?
that's mine too, but it applies to happy pills and other designer drugs to enhance brain function/change mood...
ps. my favourite "chemicals" are Caffeine and Ethanol... Oxygen and Di-Hydrogen Monoxide are also pretty high on my favourite chemicals list...:)
any possibility of you putting up the chords and tabs up under CC licences as well as the lyrics... it really bugs me that bands release music on sites like Jamendo under CC licences, but I've got to go to the trouble of transcribing the music if I want to perform it as well... I know it improves my transcription skills, but I shouldn't have to do that...
Interestingly (at least I think it's interesting), it seems to me to be caused by the right-wing's insistence on "capitalism" as a moral system (i.e. short-term profits are the only thing that matters), mixed with the left-wing insistence on "science" as wisdom (i.e. nothing is true unless it's quantifiable and provable). It's like a perfect storm of dumb ideologies, with some general greed, incompetence, and stupidity thrown in for good measure.
which is why the Chinese are royally fscking us over as they know our companies are beholden to the shareholders and must put short-term profit (ie. the next quarter's figures) ahead of the long term good of the company... our stupid corporate laws are at fault here... along with stupidly short-sighted execs who can easily parachute over to the next company after they've raped the current one and set it to go down the tubes... The Chinese, on the other hand, aren't tied up with this crap and are playing the long game... the end result will be the complete destruction of Western manufacturing capacity... we're outsourcing ourselves over a cliff...
what's really amusing is that they push the LTS as suitable for business users (even selling support packages) and people are going to be really upset to discover that to go from one LTS to the next requires a nuke and repave!!!
'scuse me... on my Hardy Heron KDE desktop, right click on the clock in the panel, a dialog appears, click on the "adjust date & time" option, a window comes up asking for password and then on succesfull verification, you are in the KDE control module for date & time where you can specify an ntp server to automatically adjust time with... that's what he wants with the clock in KDE 4.x... it doesn't allow him that freedom... it's gone backwards in functionality...
ps. I have KDE 4.whatever running on the other box to this so I get really frustrated finding things I cannot do so easily or at all in KDE 4.x compared to 3.5
oh dear... shades of the fun I had going from KDE 1.2 to KDE 2... I had to create a new user account and copy the config files across from there before KDE would load properly for me in my account... that was back going from Mandrake 7.2 to 8.0... oh happy days... praying the monitor detect wouldn't fry the monitor when setting up X.
and people are still unsuspectingly installing rootkits using Sony CDs made several years ago... I have a few CDs I have to hold down the left shift key for when loading them just to be doubly sure...
worse, Amazon want to take the comments you scribble and make them available to other "owners" of the same book... currently it will be opt in, but can you really believe that the checkbox is being honoured?
Fortunately that is not true over the long run, having argued the case for AGW on slashdot for the last decade I can say that the slashdot consensus on AGW has done a complete 180 degree turn around in that time.
There's only one reason for that... slashdot has become flooded with young ones who've been brainwashed by the education system to believe in AGW...
I might believe in AGW if, and only if they provide incontrovertible real evidence that it is happening, and not heavily selected and massaged data sets which mysteriously have been lost... and also heavily fudged "models" which given any data, always provide a "warming" output.
their "peer review" process also leaves a lot to be desired... as someone earlier (or maybe later in this topic) said... it was friend review for those articles which were pro warming, and fiend review (if at all) of anything which was against warming... They went to a lot of trouble to deny anti-warming reports from being peer reviewed in the first place... forcing the anti-warming reports to remain in the fringe where they could be laughed at as crackpot science...

a fine example of it as only the big boys can absorb the costs and this effectively closes the market on their smaller competitors.

The BBC are merely reporting that Ministries are apparently wasting money creating iPhone apps... twat... next time RTFM...

is what matters to me... has anybody done reviewed that? all the reviews I've seen have been fresh installs...
I was wondering about that as well... parsing the statement implies it's flown un-official missions...
