A gentleman in the crowd told me the fight started when the bird, which is a female, returned to her nest in the bush and found the snake keeping her eggs warm.
Officer Dooladdy and/or the gentleman was very generous to the snake, setting it up as a "no good deed goes unpunished" story. Of course, I'm sure the snake was intending to keep the eggs warm, albeit "in mah belly!"
In ancient Rome slavery was allowed, people would enter arena's and compete against each other until someone (or animal) would be killed, and adults having sex with children was considered OK.
So when in Rome, doing as the Romans do may be prosecuted in your native country upon your return.
If only "a few days" were enshrined as a fair-use exemption to copyright, i.e. amended as follows (if what is bolded is insufficient):
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 17 U.S.C. 106 and 17 U.S.C. 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, <del> or</del> research,<ins> or testing for fitness of purpose</ins> is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include:
the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
the nature of the copyrighted work;
the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; <del> and</del>
the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work<ins> ; and
the duration of the use of the copy of the copyrighted work</ins>.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.
And recent rulings seem to state that all the above factors need not be in favor of defendant for an affirmative finding of fair use.
Still takes up a friggin desk all on its own, too.
Man those things sucked, you had to make sure your desk was at least 5 feet deep, and that was just so you could have a little room to rest your wrists in front of the keyboard!!
My Viewsonic G225f 21" CRT sits on a 17" deep surface directly in front of me. Another 17" surface in front of it holds my keyboard with plenty of room to rest my forearms. So more like 2.5 feet than 5.
2048x1536 @ 75Hz, greater than HD resolution at half to a third of the cost of 30" dual-link DVI displays, and works with my older VGA-only systems over my KVM switch.
Chewbacca always struck me as very dog-like with his speech. He was practically incapable of whispering, and it looked like it caused him great physical discomfort to hold his tongue. I'm sure he was a good friend to have in a pinch, but sometimes you don't need your friends gargling every half-formed thought that flashes through their brains.
Han Solo: This is ridiculous. Even if I could take off, I'd never get past the tractor beam. Ben Kenobi: Leave that to me. Han Solo: Damn fool, I knew you were going to say that. Obi-Wan: Who's the more foolish: the fool, or the fool who follows him? Chewbacca: [subtitled] I know you are but what am I?
This identifies the presence of encrypted data. It does not establish providence.
Don't admit to the encrypted data being yours, or even to knowing about it.
How can you provide decryption keys for encrypted data that isn't yours?
It helps if your drive was bought off eBay (or better yet in an anonymous trash heap), is used as part of a RAID, and the encrypted data is in the excess space not usable by your striping method.
Unless they can determine the age of the most recent writes. Your system then better have some back door open and remote activity coinciding with those modifications.
I gave up on the idea of patenting it. It's too obvious. All the barriers to doing it are easily discoverable and the solutions too few and thus obvious to survive a patent challenge (such as coming up with a powerful enough signal to drive the RFID tags without violating FCC regs and not interfering with the reception of their signals, getting them all to uniquely identify both by identity and elapsed time from their driving signal (containing its own clock signal), optimum placement of receivers are a matter of mathematics). It comes down to just a matter of experimentation which I have neither the opportunity nor inclination to do myself.
And besides, I've already stated enough about it in a public forum to make a patent of it by anyone who hasn't already beaten me to the idea impossible. My postings on the subject are now prior art against anyone trying to bar anyone else from doing it. (Some of you were close to coming up with it too, just getting hung up on batteries and cables instead of going for RFID tags.)
What he might have meant is using a technology where instead of looking at where sensors are from the outside, use sensors that transmit where they are via radio or something. There is some sense in that, provided the technology exists. I saw demos years ago of a suit sort of like that. I don't know if it transmitted translational data (as opposed to just rotational data...), but even if it did, there was a nice big cable coming from the actor to a computer somewhere.
Just get a spandex suit with tiny RFID tags embedded in it and build an array of receivers in the studio in fixed positions and do the equivalent of GPS triangulation on the smaller scale. Record the data and do the math later to whatever accuracy you need (you're not locating yourself on Earth so civilian GPS hardware limitations don't apply). Meanwhile, your actor is able to wear normal costumes on top of the spandex suit and you'll be able to augment his performance on a more practical set. Maybe even shooting on location.

BTW, page 12 is the one with the attack, and is an interesting juxtaposition of the image. The woman is holding a newspaper with a picture of the attack while watching it being reported on the TV, while it's happening right now outside her window! WTF?!
Maybe it's not a newspaper. Perhaps it's the illustrated version of the memo "Bin Laden determined to attack inside the U.S."?

That reminds me of that Greek Mythology coloring book I had as a kid... one of my grammar school teachers liked it so much that she used it to make transparencies. I wonder if that would be allowed today?
Only if the school board backs her in a fight against the legal challenge to her fair use.
And the biggest risk that most of us face, getting hit by a car on the way to work.
In my experience, it's more likely one gets hit by a car on the way home from work. More people tend to be in a more reckless hurry leaving work than (are) going to it.
non writable media will maintain current behavior. pray attention.
Just like a VHS tape in a VCR: if the tab was removed, it not only plays automatically, it also stops at the end, rewinds its spool, and ejects itself all while you bleed out on the floor.
I'm sure this still isn't fast enough to capture light filling a room but I'd always dreamt of having such a video camera. Imagine, a recording a someone flicking a light switch and watching in slow-motion as the light bounces around the room filling each area. Aah, I can dream.
You might as well do that as an experiment in ray-tracing. In real life, you won't see any change until the light reaches the area of the room containing your camera (i.e. the area that fills with light first is where the observer is).
and perhaps watching 24 on their $5,000 TV sets sometimes instead of downloading it off of BitTorrent to their laptop every week because it makes them feel like a haX0r
Well if KPTM Fox 42 would stop down-converting 24 to SD and stereo sound for 15 seconds at the bottom of its hour (and every bottom of the hour) to inform me of the time and temperature sponsored by the Omaha Children's Hospital (always during the show, never during the commercials) I wouldn't have to torrent a 43-minute episode to pick up the two words dropped from the broadcast on either side of those 15 seconds, cursing your station, your bug, and its sponsor.
This is not the thinking of the children you want to engender in the public.
Their equipment can apparently insert time-and-temp bugs at 1080i on the CW without down-conversion of the signal, but not at the 720p of Fox (both KXVO CW 15 and KPTM Fox 42 are owned by Pappas Telecasting). KSNB isn't carried in HD on cable here and is P&S for 24 most weeks.
I used to be able to extract the left and right channels of the AC3 audio to my iPod to listen to the soundtrack without hearing any dialogue. I can no longer do that.
Fox is also doing something to their HD stream to prevent video playback in some MPEG editing tools like MPEG Streamclip (not encryption and not broadcast flag). Thankfully other tools can still cut through it.
Slashdot Mirror
Soooo, it's The Intersect?
The article was published june 13, 1897 - how the fuck can copyright still be applicable to that article?
It doesn't. It applies to the PDF of the article. Affixed in a new medium, that affixment enjoys a new copyright.
If you want to copy the copyright-expired public domain version of the article, you must do so from an original 1897 edition.
Expect the NYT to charge a fee for access to their copy.
Ergo, the public domain is dead and copyright is unconstitutionally eternal.

Where can you buy piano rolls today?
They went digital decades ago. I saw a piano at Sears that took rolls stored on 3.5" floppy disks.
Better still, wait until they print a Klingon (paragraph 3 from anchor).

Dear FEMA,
Your decision to stop selling the book upset me, can you please put it back on sale?
As it was a downloadable PDF, seems to me they were making it available for free. However, page 2 reads:

x1600 of course. I was a little quick with the editing.
