True, but I for one am highly interested in an energy-dense, high discharge capable battery for cars. Something that can store a couple tens of kWh and let it go at a kW rate (stated in Watts, as I couldn't guess the voltage, and thus amperage resuired for such power outputs) in a package that's volumetrically similar to a regular sedan fuel tank (10-15 gal).
You get a little 'No' cursor, though I'm pretty sure I've lived well without it.
Meanwhile, if I want to drag something from, say, firefox (one of maybe three applications I ever maximize) to an open application, I just hover over its taskbar icon for a second before moving to the program.
A nifty thing I did see was the 'fold and drop' interface for getting shit out of your way when you want to get 'behind' a window.
I know that law. It applies to reproducing over $1000 of CDs and/or selling them. It doesn't apply to these students, unless they're making folder-loads of CDs for their friends.
The law's line: Copyright Infringement != Stealing This is demonstratably true, in that they occupy entirely different sections of the law. You can get philosophical as you care to about the parallels between the two, but the fact is if it were equivalent to stealing, it would carry jail time or a state-imposed fine.
Um.. Who stole anything? If something was stolen, there would be police, a criminal trial, and potential jailtime involved. So, yeah. Nothing was stolen. Distribution rights according to copyright were infringed upon.
Add'l: It's not infringement to download (recieve). It's infringement to upload (redistribute). Think about that.
Meanwhile, I would guess that the 3-5k settlements are due to not wanting to deal with it. Let the RIAA sue me, and there will be a court battle to be witnessed.
So sue us, whacha gonna do with us? So sue us, whatcha gonna get? Well nothin' 'cos all of us are flat broke Go ahead and try to do All you can do to sue
The Tao is a good set of thoughts, but I feel it concentrates too hard on how to deal with being in charge while not really dealing with being subordinate.
Well, the idea was to show that it's more than that. My language implies actually transferring an object of value by removing it from someone else. Giving that explicit description of why theft is 'wrong' implies that infringement is not (ie: only value is added, economically when a copy of something is made.)
Well, since, economically speaking 'wealth' is any nonmoney with value (ie: a good or service), and a 'change in fiscal spectrum' would be 'transfer of money', I'm essentially saying that theft is a truncated transaction.
One (two actually; she's the second) that set a precedent that the RIAA should at least have some damned evidence before they get all sue-happy - otherwise, they're likely to be out more money than they could have sued the victim for.
Seriously, don't underestimate how risk-averse a large and established organization can be.

I believe he was making a distinction of emphasis in the absence of a distinction of vocabulary.
eg. "Well, is he dead?" "Well, there's dead, and then there's *dead*. He's the former." "How the hell can you be a little dead?"
Most accurate would be if Microsoft sued, say, the India for switching their government offices to Linux.
Well, you can sue over anything. Doesn't guarantee you a win, though.
Edit: hundreds of kWh, peak discharge of 125kW (135 Wheel HP at 80% system efficiency), nomninal discharge of 18kW (20 WHP at the same).

Theoretically, spent fuel is *drinkable*. As is the unspent fuel, if you don't mind insulin shock.

Probably scoffing at the protection racket they've got going on.

Funny, according to my ethics course, it's not exactly ethical to litigate against a party who can't defend themselves with next to no evidence.

Mmm... a useless AC troll.
Hey, Trollie. Wanna be taken seriously? Log the fuck in.
Ok, AC-reprimand completed. Now on to the topic.
Just so you know, copyright isn't property. It doesn't hold the same set of laws as copyright does. So, ah, yeah. Stop talking out of your ass.
So sue us, whacha gonna do with us?
So sue us, whatcha gonna get?
Well nothin' 'cos all of us are flat broke
Go ahead and try to do
All you can do to sue

Depends on your aversion to risk. Chances are, you won't get caught.
Gun control is stupid. What we need is bullet control.

All I got to say about this is 'neener, neener', and 'Ok, now, US civil justice system: do the same bit of good against Viacom'.

Hehe. Thank you, that's the funniest thing I've read in a while.
Create an unenforcable, uncreatable blacklist of pirates. Dude, you should be on letterman.
*waits for the 'haha' tag to get applied*
Yeah, definitely misworded. Still, these failed lawsuits are fun to watch. Like a flan collapsing in a cupboard.
Here's hoping the RIAA member companies wise up, stop the lawsuits, drop the DRM, and maybe get a good artist or two.
Hehe. If I had mod points, you'd be the first to get them today, and I would try damned hard to make sure you got all of 'em.
