We have an iRiver CD/MP3 player and it's a great little device - smallest CD player I've ever seen and will play up to 50 hours using an additional AA battery pack. The iHP-120 looks like a great device, especially with optical in/out and built in recording. Now if only it would accept camera cards...
He's right. I'd be getting a new Mac every year if they cost close to a no-name PC. As it is, three years is just about all I can manage. If my stupid no-name CRT PC monitor had lived, I would have kept it instead of buying the flat panel.
As we have seen, copyright protects written instructions for preparing a dish: not the idea, the selection or combination of ingredients nor the method of preparing the dish. Therefore, if you watched someone preparing a dish they had created and then wrote down in your own words the ingredients and method, you would not have infringed copyright even if they had not granted permission (although you might infringe their rights under other areas of law, as discussed below). By writing out the recipe, you might have created a literary work that is protected by copyright (see "originality", below). However, this would not prevent anyone else from writing their own version of the recipe, or making the dish following the recipe.
The ultimate in replay value would be the game that you completely forget after playing, except for how great it was to play, so you play it again and forget and then back to step one again.
When 3.5" floppies were introduced to South Africa, in order to distinguish them from the flexible and floppy 5.25" disks, they were called "stiffies"... so the campaign was 'would you rather have a 5.25" floppy or a 3.5" stiffy".

How about "inmates being contracted out to put down pavers." It's what happens here. Great stuff... except for the guy whose business it is (or was) laying pavers. All of a sudden he can't compete with free labour.
Also, forget community service. As someone else has posted, these guys are as demotivated as you can get. The inmates, however, would do stuff because they're so bored.
Perhaps they don't run their own web servers. The government department I work for has a significant web presence but the hosting is contracted out to an outside company. In fact, none of the departments of this state government run their own web servers.
I read statements like this with a bit of bemusement. Here's a clue to all you movie makers of the future: it isn't about which software have, or which computer you are running. Movie making is hard because most people don't tell very interesting stories.
As one who had a Mac and a LaserWriter but failed to takeover the world of publishing, then a Mac and Dreamweaver but failed to become a DotAnything, and now a Mac and iMovie and am totally non-threatening tp Spielberg, I concur. Anyone can buy equipment but it takes a talented person to use it. Michelangelo (artist, not turtle) didn't even have a Wacom tablet!
Look at what happened to the grandfather who got hit with a hammer by RIAA because his grandkids used his PC to download copyrighted material over P2P networks without his knowledge. He had no clue what the kids were up to but he was still held liable for their actions.
And so you think it's right? Given the many many ways of disguising the true nature of files, images, URLs etc before they are downloaded, how can anyone in their right mind think that any computer user who had no intention to break the law could be held liable for grabbing something they didn't know was illegal to have.
Your analogies are bad analogies. Find some new ones.
They won't tell you thay you have to to go, they'll offer you a choice. Something like : "Go on a long waiting list (read: permanent waiting list) for a cheap doctor in the US, or have it done now in India." That way, the choice is yours.
Couldn't agree more. With iMovie, 20 minutes of crappy footage can become 3 - 5 minutes of decent stuff once you cut out the garbage and add pop song d'jour. Throw in iDVD and you're cookin'.
The problem is that most users don't know what their bandwidth usage actually is, if they understand the concept at all. They just want a fixed charge for their internet usage, and feel safe that they won't get hit with a large bill if they send out a few more emails this month.
If they are promised "unlimited" when in actual fact they get stuck on a "watch this account" list if they hit more that 2 GB a month consistently, then 95% of customers (number extracted from anus) will never be on that list. So for them, the account is unlimited, promise fulfilled, ISP is a Good Guy. It's only people like us who push the limits vigourously and consistently.
That's where the problems begin... "Didn't you see the little asterisk next to 'UNLIMITED* INTERNET'?"

Hey don't knock OS9! It's a great Operating Syst ... hey what's that bomb?

Not so in Australia:
How does copyright apply to recipes?

Play stoned :-}
1. Insert CD into computer
2. Light up a big scoob
3. Play game. Look at pretty lights...
4. Repeat.
Apple will port OS X to x86 before MS ports Office to Linux. It just ain't gonna happen.
Runs really nicely on my dual 1.25 G4 with 512 MB RAM.

Was she the funny smelling one with all the cats?
OS X comes free with every shiny new Mac :-)
"Free" as in "as free as a Mac".
The TRV-22 is a digital video camera (specs here. All he needs is a 6pin - 4pin cable.

I hope they rust-proofed the Rovers.

Talent is innate, but it ain't in me.

Forget /. Just go to the Simply DV Bulletin Board. A wide range of users from novices (who ask questions) to pros (who answer them).

So, about this raw footage from your honemoon ...
If you are going to pick nits about a type, at least do it properly. 1026 nanoseconds != 1.026 ms. Perhaps you were thinking of microseconds? ;)
If you are going to pick nits about a typo, then spell typo properly :-)

But I'll bet some of them have parents who could buy them an iPod ... and then iTMS gift certificates will follow.
