You're not really answering the argument i make. In sec 106 its pretty clear:
Subject to sections 107 through 122, the owner of copyright under this title has the exclusive rights to do and to authorize any of the following: (1) to reproduce the copyrighted work in copies or phonorecords; (2) to prepare derivative works based upon the copyrighted work; (3) to distribute copies or phonorecords of the copyrighted work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending...
I don't know what law firm you work for, or if you just take out your mother's trash for a living, but you're missing the key issue here. The GPL's grant of rights to the users/distributers is protected in this section.
Hey bumblefuck-
While i did copy the wrong quote, if you read 106 or knew the slightest bit about anything you wont get your panties in such a little wad. This applied to every copyrighted work - and 106a has been used to show intent about transfer of ownership. and actually 106a applies to any visual art except movies.
106. Exclusive rights in copyrighted works36
Subject to sections 107 through 122, the owner of copyright under this title has the exclusive rights to do and to authorize any of the following:
(1) to reproduce the copyrighted work in copies or phonorecords;
(2) to prepare derivative works based upon the copyrighted work;
(3) to distribute copies or phonorecords of the copyrighted work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending;
(4) in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and motion pictures and other audiovisual works, to perform the copyrighted work publicly;
(5) in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and pictorial, graphic, or sculptural works, including the individual images of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, to display the copyrighted work publicly; and
(6) in the case of sound recordings, to perform the copyrighted work publicly by means of a digital audio transmission.
No way. The cost of dealing with a wide-spread blackout like this one is gigantic. Think about how many man-hours were billed in today's fiasco? They had to shutdown all generators and then turn them back on. That combined with the damage done to their system and the repairs they will have to make means big losses. Not to mention parent's point about loss of money tonight. When you have rolling long term blackouts due to localized stresses then you can point the deregulation finger, but with major grid-wide blackouts its a huge financial burdon.
Somebody please mod this down. You're so wrong, and the parent is spot-on.
(e) Transfer and Waiver. -- (1) The rights conferred by subsection (a) may not be transferred, but those rights may be waived if the author expressly agrees to such waiver in a written instrument signed by the author. Such instrument shall specifically identify the work, and uses of that work, to which the waiver applies, and the waiver shall apply only to the work and uses so identified. In the case of a joint work prepared by two or more authors, a waiver of rights under this paragraph made by one such author waives such rights for all such authors.
Here the GPL is a waiver of sorts, a re-definition of their copyright protection.
page faults happen in windows in part because of bad programs and in part because of the OS. And yes it would be better. if the fea is dumping data you can save it and resume, if the os crashes you cant do a thing.
A virus in windows is easy. users can delete system files. a very very simple permissions setup in linux prevents major damage to a system by a virus unless that virus has suid which is frankly a user error. think about this: if the source to windows was open, how easy would it be to write a virus to take it down? security through obscurity doesnt work in the world of open source. so, qualitatively linux beats MS here. its not just a 'number of servers' thing.
bugger off.
bah. it is a big deal. A HUGE deal. I know that in the world of internet exploder and minesweeper your system doesnt crash much. But give it a real numerical problem, actually use the power of your processor on something besides games and you'll see exactly why its a problem. Ever get half-way through a fairly advanced FEA meshing and have a page fault error bring down windows?? Its frustrating. The worst part is that because of people like yourself companies continue to develop their software for that worthless OS and I have to use it. *spit*.
They aren't dumping that many shares. Look up any other company. It isn't odd that a few thousand shares are sold and purchased all of the time. Sure they would sell more if the SEC wasn't watching them, but the SEC can't say 'you cannot sell 7,000 shares because... you have a lawsuit coming up'. Thats absurd. If every insider dumped hundreds of thousands of shares, then you might have a point. But it is not that big of a deal.
I can't really agree. If you ever listen to RMS speak, GNU and the FSF have heavy non-technical philosophies but it is important to note that the Linux kernel does not. They like to stay out of the fight and value software over philosophy etc.. Open source, some would say, is a politically devoid ideal and the only real ideal is a technical one.
You're an idiot. Those cheap-trick addons only made google better after they had a solid search engine that gained popularity. Any other search engine can add on parts like google does. I dont think whittlebit is really trying to compete with google. futhermore in response to the hundreds of 'hell no i dont want to give input' posts: what do you think clicking on a link from a google search does?? Part of pagerank includes how you respond to the search. if there are thousands of people all going in a certain direction google takes note! It is google's search engine that is so good that will keep it ahead, if they lose that they will not be the diety that they are today.
You're nuts. Quantum computing wont let you 'compute anything' just a lot more, possibly. It will open up doors in research areas that have been closed due to lack of computing power. Better models could be created in the medical, environmental, energy... etc. By your logic, we should stop the progress on CPU development outright.
no way. the system that they would need is already in place. whenever you make a 911 call the provider has to locate you. As long as you are near multiple towers they can find you with their current system. its one small step away from being added as a monthly service...
ebay plays the exact same game here. They are banning people from using vauge e-commerce buzz phrases from advertisements regarding to ebay, claiming a patent. They have even started a business group to sell the rights to use these words. They get what they deserve. http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y03/ m08/i07/s0 2 (the banning) http://www.forbes.com/newswire/2003/06/2 4/rtr10094 38.html (about the selling of words)
I wouldn't discount the possibility of making the fiber thinner. I know this isn't really an option for lines already in place but there is little reason why future fiber wont be on the nano-scale. http://www.paradigmoptics.com/products/POF/nanosca lefiber.htm
On a serious note, assume for a second that SCO wins their case and they do try and charge that much? Its that threat that leads to the obvious conclusion that IBM (or RedHat) would just take SCO over (hostily if needs be) rather than pay out any fees. SCO will continue to pull these stunts but in the end no matter what somebody will just eat them and then fire darl and his litigious staff.
not only is the under $100 stuff bs there are plenty of applications where the storage could be useful. There are applications that are just really being developed for automated camera use as well as recording digital movies in one card. its pricey but there are definitly uses for it.
(1)-
Please. The cost of complying, even with hunderds of requests is close to nothing. To think that they dont have a good way to reference customer by IP is ridiculus. The government all but requires them to do so already, irrelevant of the RIAA.
(2) The marketing advantage that they get is really, as other posts pointed out is in the fact that file-sharing is what motivates broadband anyways.
(3) go smoke something else. they would only be concerned about it if it were profitable to them for some reason (or arrogant i guess)
Thats really not true at all. They arent going to make us safe in the least bit, and the pipedream that security like that actually changes how people act are as bad as the ones saying we dont need any ID at all. Bottom line: those security devices could and will quickly be used in other areas and I wouldn't put it past some companies to get ahold of some of that data and soon create a minority-report style world. God help me.
ps - finger-printing is not the exact science everyone makes it out to be. Its error rates are much much higher than you think... that worries me the most!
McBride mentions (in the interview) that the few dozen people who have come in have 'unanimously' agreed that SCO's claims were strong. I remember distincly a few open souce guys going in and while they did write they were treated with respect in Lindon, they did not in ANY way give credibility to their claims. Anybody else see the problem here?
At that altitude deployment of the payload to higher orbits is (could be) easier. And for a lot of short missions (deployment - re-entry) the experiment you get is sometimes as good as an orbit.
theres a serious movement to make any software on custom hardware to be opensource. The pcs that soldiers check their email with might run windows, but a lot of equipment runs embedded linux or custom built os's. The idea is that you dont want a soldier fumbling around restarting a piece of equipment because of a blue screen.
What are you talking about? The plantif has a burden to show the harm caused by the defend't. The judgement comes after the plantif has proven its case. The judge (or jury in some cases) will not award penalties unless they can show that their rights were violated. Simply saying that I have huge stack of mp3's (for which i own the rights to) is not enough. They must show how I personally detracted from their sales. Their damages would be nothing.

so i cant spell - burden.
