I read it as, it was time to put all those artists on factory production lines and reduce copyright duration to keep them there. Paying them more doesn't produce more creative work, the just die of drug overdoses in mansion, keeping them on the factory floor or as waitresses well keep those creative juices flowing;).
I just read it as the bull shit association ie M$ wants what now. Let's see window 8 compatible PCs are supposed to have operating system lock out. Let's guess M$ are extended that to unlicensed operating system lockout. Buy a windows 8 compatible PC and it wont run at all no matter what you do until you install a licensed copy of windows 8, no windows 7 pirates, no Linux, no nothing other than a licensed version of windows 8. M$ is just trying to do an end run around monopoly complaints and stealing users rights by babbling on about pirates, raise the jolly roger, the only one trying to steal anything here is M$.
Planned seasons catch 22, wait and they cancel mid way through because no one bought but you don't care because you didn't buy into a partially completed story, don't wait and they cancel the series and you now have bought a partially completed story. I am sorry but way to many cancelled series to buy into the buy now marketing lies. Now if they want to sell micro percentages of gross (forget net I know that game) with penalties for failure to complete (directors and producers loose their share back to be divided up), then they have a deal.
I noticed someone driving dangerously, when they took off during a red light and stopped right in front of me, didn't get to notice them for very long, a split second and certainly not long enough to notify the police, although they did turn up. So likely fiddling with a phone, looking up and seeing a green light, not noticing it was for going straight ahead and not turning right and then taking off, noticing error and me and then stopping (it would have been slightly better if he had kept on going a glancing blow rather than a solid impact at full speed).
So those distraction can also cause problems when people are stationary at traffic lights, generating mus-interpretations of traffic conditions, that glance does not equal a careful sustained observation. We have all made that mistake and most of the time get away with it but sometimes someone else pays the price. Yes, I am a gimp now.
The catch with copyright, firstly you must make the claim that all documents exposed are true and factually (they already shot themselves in the foot with that when they claimed in the first few weeks it was all a lie) and secondly you have to claim damages, that you wish to sell the documents at the copyrighted ones are harming your revenue (now we all know that is not true and if it was, what is Bradley Manning being accused of, copyright infringement).
All of this desperate clutching at straws to bury the documents indicates two more things. Firstly the reality exposed in the documents undermines future lies they intend to tell. Secondly they can not hide under national security, the crimes exposed and weaken the defence that the accused Bradley Manning was forced to publicly expose those crimes because, his superior officers were failing to do so. It is illegal to obey an illegal order and it is a criminal act, accessory after the fact, to hide crimes.
They are also in salt water crocodile country, a protected species, not so much the marines should they decide to urinate in the wrong creek at the wrong time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Vr7LaHEIcQ.
Funny all I have to do to watch every season of Game of Thrones past, present and future is be patient. I found I enjoy TV series the most when I own all the seasons on DVD and watch one episode after another without missing any, living a normal life in between of course. If I die before achieving this, meh, seriously think I give a crap. Game of Thrones sounds good, likely I'll buy it in several years time, once the complete series box is discounted of course, waited that, no sweat waiting longer.
I though it was a great idea to have web cams at all venues bars, clubs etc. that way you could check them out before going there. Dull and boring avoid it, over crowded avoid, odd looking patrons etc. For the same reason I now understand why bars and clubs avoided web cams, who wants reality interfering with advertising when it comes to the qualities of a bar, club etc. Nothing to do with protecting privacy and everything to do with protecting revenue.
Actually there is, in fact two specific traits for two types of psychopathy and no one absolutely no one should be spared the chance of avoiding entanglement with a psychopath. If your at all worried there is an infallible test with a 100% success rate that psychopaths can not cheat on for confirmation. Only psychopaths defend psychopaths it's always a trap.
Unfortunately SDI is completely ineffective against long range cruise missiles flying nap of the earth. So far the only effective defence has been treaties and agreements limiting number and range (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTCR). Of course if you start separating the components, engines, fuel tank, warhead and target guidance you can fiddle the numbers any way you want. A detached nuclear warhead is just a warhead not a particular kind of warhead. Detached extremely extended fuel tanks do not even need to be counted. Unattached cruise missile engines are of course just jet engines. Guidance systems are just a bunch of electronics.
So very long range stealth cruise missiles (subsonic for range to supersonic final target zone), don't even get counted until they are assembled, which could take as little as fifteen minutes per missile if designed that way. Of course designing that way also provides significant cost reduction, those motors could be used on reusable drones, military and civilian use.
Don't believe you, please provide details;). You always think you go em all but it's always hard to tell without comparing to other attempts and of course adding in some bits like http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/.
When it comes to ethics and psychopathy being tied to genetics, should privacy be allowed when seeking elected office or taking a major role in a corporation. When it comes to person convicted of crime should psychopathic tendencies as indicated by their genes be hidden from future partners, how far is that they find out by being beaten to death. So perhaps some genetic traits can be secret but others should be divulged under certain circumstances. No psychopaths in political office, as police or teachers. If your child was marrying a psychopath would you accept it be kept a secret from them or would you want the information to be provided to them before it's too late.
The China hold out was purely personal, as such all that was required was an individual arrangement. Google was stuck between a rock and a hardplace, either pay and be evil or be screwed by M$ being evil.
This is simply a call for factual truth. If a politician wants to make a statement of fact then they must be able to prove that statement, if they can not, then they should be held liable and pay a penalty, either a fine, imprisonment of both, considering the responsibility they are seeking to take and the consequences. Politicians are free to voice opinions no matter how crazy but they should be bound by statements of facts and of course promises they make.
Contractually any promises they fail to keep should be adjusted against any payments made to them ie the salary should be garnished for each promise the break and backdated to when they first started drawing a salary based upon false promises.
So simply a demand for truth in politics. Tell lies and you will pay a penalty for telling those lies, simply a desire to hold politicians accountable for what comes out of their mouths, something the majority would consider fair and reasonable bit of course politicians will never vote for, surprise, surprise, surprise.
Fake buttons. So where can you generate lots of clicks, continually update the software to hide the source, hmm, flash based games.
If you going to cheat you might as well cheat big time, without breaking the law. So insert adds into games, that have to be clicked, that open a new background or re-open it in an already open background window.
So objective achieved lots of click throughs with the end user none the wiser or unhappy about making the clicks, as long as they want to play the game of course the person paying for those adds might not be too happy;).
The reality here is nothing to do with meetings or calenders. It is all about being able to remotely update a database. No matter what you name those columns and rows, it is all about updating a remote database. The US Patents office is claiming that every database type can be patented not once but twice, once for fixed location updating and once for remote location updating. Even when everything in between has already been patented, the phones, the computers, the network, the relational database software. Add new rows and columns to a database using any of those devices and you can patent it, think of all those databases that haven't been patented yet, tens of thousands of types and billions in use. So go searching for each and every type of database, search the patents office to see if it has been patented, if it hasn't simply substitute the terms in this M$ patent insert your own and away you go.
The censorship is targeted at the impoverished masses, the cheap labour base the creates Indian multi-millionaires while that labour is dresses in rags. With access to internet cafes available every where, the ruling elite do not want the labour base to become to aware of the gap between rich and poor in India and of course the gap between India workers and first world workers doing the same work.
They have quite successfully be divided up by castes, religion and ethnicity, to keep them struggling amongst themselves but eventually they would work together to tackle those they keep them impoverished and a free and open internet would accelerate that.
Apple is the odd man out in that arrangement. The bulk of their products come from apple addicts who funnel a substantial portion of their digital recreational dollars through them, without making real world price comparisons. They are not gaining any new market share they are losing it, what they are trying to do is milk as much money as possible our of the religiously dedicated apple addict base. So the iTV will be targeted at them and if Apple have time the iGame console.
Ours is 'fully' automated, just define the general region and the drone will target groups of more than five and less than twenty and then do a return strike on rescuers. Immediately after that, it will automatically generate an excuse 'er' reason for the attack, scan a list names of the reported deceased and claim one of them as a terrorist leaders and the rest as terrorist. It will automatically create social links between the random targets in one location and the random targets in another location, thus providing fabricated proof of the success of attacks and ensuring there are no provable innocent bystanders.
Our system is the one for the twenty first century, killing anyone, anywhere and automatically creating legal justification for it in writing. Obama and the CIA are just totally wallowing in the bullshit now, not even bothering with believable lies any more, we murdered them here's our bullshit, we know you know it's bullshit, so what are you going to do about it.
Outsourcing is not offshoring. Generally speaking when it comes to 'irregular' project development, you really don't want to increase you work force and bring it crashing back down again. Likely you will already have local contacts for some of the maintenance work, enough to pick of for catastrophic system failures and to allow better time management.
So outsourcing development to those resources and increasing in house resources to balance out. The marginal increase for in-house resources is to try to maintain trade secrets and keep hidden successful business practices as much as reasonable whilst letting the bulk of development work out to local resources.
Local only, because you can get a hold of them, you can hold urgent meetings with the coders, you can bring them to site to see current practices, basically you can retain much better control and keep a tighter review of progress. Smart thinking also as those local developers will always be there for maintenance and you can try to pick up any really good ones for internal staff.
Offshoring is always a bad idea, local outsourcing has real benefits.
An excellent example was when the FBI was running and controlling LulzSec for all those months and launching attacks in the name of 'Anonymous'. For all those months were those FBI agents in control of those attacks members of 'Anonymous' or not. They acted anonymously and the carried out those attacks in the names of 'Anonymous' so by definition they were members of 'Anonymous', now should they arrest themselves, well if any of those attacks that they orchestrated were outside the United States, them the legally correct answer is yes. The should arrest themselves and offer themselves up for extradition to the affected countries and then be prosecuted by those countries for their crimes.
Now as one of the members of LulzSecwas a minor and the FBI sought to draw the minor into committing a crime, that does make those agents guilty of child abuse. So now 'Anonymous' is officially guilty of child abuse thanks to the no longer anonymous FBI members, talk about dragging 'Anonymous' name through the muck, for those who use the name 'Anonymous' for nothing other than legal protest, thanks for nothing FBI, I mean really computer hacking, DDOS attacks, invasions of privacy, data theft and child abuse all under the watch and control of the FBI.
Easiest problem in the world to solve that. In Arabic language name it the Arabian Gulf, in Farsi name in the Persian Gulf, in English sell the name to the highest bidder.
It is pretty much normal practice for many countries, places, regions, geographical features to a different names in different languages.
Sorry but a lot of engineers can best be described as anal retentive types. Get their rage on for the slightest slight and like a cat shoot straight up a tree and take for ever to coax back down. Some engineers are good solutions provider with a lot of training and coaxing, most like straight forward problems with regular solutions and to be left alone with them.
So as politicians dealing with a wide range of new problems they have never come across before, for which there are not a defined set of formulas to solve and you will have to deal with a electorate all with their own solutions, most engineers will end up being problem creators, that management types will have to step in to calm and resolve.
Once engineers have made up their minds right, wrong or indifferent, they are near impossible to change not matter how blatant the developing failure is, they will stick to it until it completely fails and then came up with a range of excuses to blame the failure on everyone else. They will they if given the opportunity to repeat the failed attempting to control every facet of it, convinced if it is done all their way it will succeed.
When it is just about to completely and utterly fail, they get sick, get another job, go overseas, anything to maintain their magical, I was right thinking, and dump the whole complete two times failure on someone anyone else, who the engineer will for ever blame the failure on. So now with a doubly crushed budget a management type will try to fix everything with what ever they can extract from two failures.
Engineers in their own balliwick aren't to bad outside of it, their inflexibility tends to screw everything up because when it start going bad they will not adjust to prevent it going worse. Best laid plans of mice and men and all that. A significant skill of 'good' management is admitting an error and making a correction, adjusting your plans for small problems before they become big problems.
The more logical is to exclude uploads so no double billing on the same content and people that produce content are not prevented from self publishing.

Not to mention South Australia was convict free http://www.atlas.sa.gov.au/go/resources/atlas-of-south-australia-1986/the-course-of-settlement. Convict settlement was the east and west coast of Australia. Don't forget Australia is much the same size as continuous mainland US, plenty of room for every thing.
