Maybe they stole the text, but you cannot steal a fact that's in the public domain.
So if anyone does research and determines some type of fact, that gets you out of having to cite your source?
I wonder if Woodward and Bernstein would want credit for the facts they uncovered in Watergate, or if you can just run with everything as your own since it's just facts...
In other news UK ISP's have noticed a sudden drop in subscription to high bandwidth/high download limit plans. They fear piracy may be to blame for this phenomenon.
They also now realize that without pirating, people really weren't downloading all that many Netflix movies and usage based billing might not have been the best idea after all.
we have AT&T coverage, but they cancel your plan if you use more than 50% of your minutes in the zipcode
Wait... They canceled you because you used your phone mainly where you live? While I don't agree with it, I've heard of some carriers dropping you if you use the majority of your minutes on roaming networks, but never using it at your home.
If you were good at math and computers, you were a CS major that also gave you a math minor. If you were good at computers, but not at math, you were an IS major which had significantly lower levels of math as a requirement. If you were good at neither math nor computers, you were a MIS major where you took classes on Powerpoint and math on flashcards.
Also, smart phone device also implies pocket size.
A device attached to a smart phone doesn't imply anything. For instance, many cars these days can "attach" to a smart phone (and even dumb phones) via bluetooth for some functionality.
If he wants a second chance, all he has to do is click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of all the harassing emails he will receive. He'll then be removed from the mailing list in 7-10 business days.
Depending on the job, even a basic background check probably would find alternate names. Every job application or background check consent form has asked for previous names/aliases and criminal background. Either lying or omitting has the potential for repercussion that could be worse then just telling the truth to begin with.
The trademark was nullified, but later reinstated after Congress modified trademark law. The copyright is still valid. However the original concept of the game was in the public domain, so variants don't have to be officially licensed by Hasboro/Parker Brothers. However if you want to use the -opoly name and/or design elements that significantly resemble the official Monopoly version, it may be cheaper in the long run to actually license it vs risk going to court.
It wasn't an interstate. It was a secondary street near a residential/industrial lake front area where there were corners and multiple bends in the road. Traffic, buildings, obstructions, there are all sorts of things that could cause you to be caught off guard all of a sudden.
One state and only one state does get the sales tax. It's determined by where the seller has a nexus and where the buyer is at. If the seller has a nexus in the same state as the buyer, the order is taxed at the local and state sales tax rate.
The gray area here seems to be that it wasn't Amazon itself that has the nexus in Texas, but rather a subsidiary fulfillment company. The "sale" is between the customer in Texas and Washington-based Amazon.com, not with the fulfillment company. Or at least that's what Amazon is arguing.
Sony don't need to win anything from this suit, they just need to drag GeoHot through a very expensive lawsuit hell as a message "You better have a lot of money before messing with us!" to other future possible hackers.
Yeah, because that has worked so well for the many hackers that have cracked previous consoles, developed modchips, etc.
I'd love to set up an isolated control group (composed of orphan babies and robot nannies), give them a fabricated history of humanity and see if religion spontaneously redevelops.
Just look at different societies that until starting ~500 years ago had no contact with one another. Compare Europeans to Native American Tribes to Aboriginal Australians to etc... They all have various religious and ancestral beliefs developed independently over thousands of years. No need to spend billions and kidnap orphan babies.
for song writers to create children's songs as free marketing material, license them CC or free for school usage
If GEMA is anything like ASCAP or BMI, it won't matter. They will just insist on paying for licensing anyways even if it's original content or permitted reproduction.
Expect it will have an effect on singing in kindergartens as childern that young won't know the words, so the words have to be spelled out for the child.
Your typical preschooler or kindergardener isn't going to know how to read very much, let alone sheet music. They learn songs by repetition and memorization.
Which affects a Canadian citizen, how? Cause I believe "Not at all" is the correct answer.
Ebay is headquarters in California isn't it? You'd be right if it was being sold on a Canadian website by someone living in Canada. But as soon as they put it on ebay.com then it fell, at least partially, under California jurisdiction.

Your link says trillion, not billion. Or is this that whole UK thing where they use a different definition of billion then the rest of the world?

Why on earth were you downloading MS Plus via bittorrent in 2001 or later? Let alone still using Windows 95?

IMAX Dome (formerly called OMNIMAX) uses a dome-shaped screen. Every non-OMNIMAX IMAX theater I've ever been in has a flat screen.
And when you hit your cap and they throttle you to dialup speeds, you still are no worse off.
And another company now as, or at least wants to talk. (bottom of page of the 2nd link)
What are they going to emulate, a decoder?
Yeah, because that has worked so well for the many hackers that have cracked previous consoles, developed modchips, etc.
Things must run at a slow pace in Edmonton if they are just now reporting on an arrest in 1994.

...and easily blocked by a variety of add-ons/extensions/adblockers. Works for me.
