Yeah! Apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us, anyway?
It might have been possible on the mac classic when you were in HS [don't know that it's ever actually been done] - it hasn't been possible for quite a long time now
At the risk of being redundant - unless the mail was addressed to her [not even "Occupant" - she's the owner not the occupant], that _is_ a federal offense.
If you actually run the installer you'd find that it asks you if you want to install it - probably a similar deal as Yahoo toolbar with flash player or whatever.
Tell me more about this "in their best interest" that applies to suing a demographic that [assuming such studies which you have not disputed are true] accounts for proportionally more of their sales than the general public - It sounds like they're the ones who are blind. Particularly if there is a causative relationship.
Mods shouldn't have that prerogative - if they don't want humor to be modded up, they can set their preferences to assign a net zero [or negative] weight to "funny".
Overrated and Underrated should be removed entirely or subject to metamoderation
Why are tablets forbidden? If you want to sell a "special" version for tablets, do the hard work to make it actually use the pressure feature on the pen.
The problem is they're playing a shell game - when you want to treat it like any other copyrighted work [say, a book, a vhs tape, anything except digital media] for example (as brought up elsewhere in this thread) renting it out, it's a "license" that you paid for - but then obviously you shouldn't need to replace the license just because the disk broke - suddenly that $50 shifts back to being the cost of the physical media, with the license tossed on for free - and then there's sales tax issues [for which it's _not_ treated as a license as others have addressed here], the fact that nothing is actually granted [check 17USC117], etc.
Well, FUCK YOU, software companies!
I refuse your license. Copyright law still permits me to continue using the game or other software product, since i PAID for it. My clicks of your OK button are under duress and non-binding.
assuming I belong to a specially-protected class of people
You assume you might not? You don't belong to a race? A gender? you don't have a sexual orientation? your age is undefined?
Or were you under the impression that only _some_ such groups were protected? While it's probably rarer for being white to be the subject of hiring discrimination, and gender discrimination might vary widely by field, that doesn't mean the protection isn't _there_:P
When you purchase a software title, you aren't just buying a physical product, you are buying an intangible license which permits you to use that software title
oh, BULL SHIT. why then can't i take back a disk that's been scratched, or broken in half, or half-eaten by my dog, or whatever, for a replacement at cost?
I think that firehoses fall in the same category of 'nonlethal weapons that can be abused' - the fact that they in fact _have_ been doesn't help their case.
Because we have a common law system, not a 'your gut feeling' system.
it's not clear to me at all that it violates copyright law outside of russia. it's not clear to me at all that [as others have claimed] the artists don't get paid.
go look up what happens in the middle of the flip - i suppose you think that the field just rotates 180 degrees, not losing any of its strength in the meantime?

Certain types of property (such as your "slightly used corvette") have well-established systems for establishing that someone has valid title to it.
I'm giving up 50% of my income for what?

It's not clear how the first one you listed isn't a special case of the second.
At the risk of being redundant - unless the mail was addressed to her [not even "Occupant" - she's the owner not the occupant], that _is_ a federal offense.
Except that copyright is an artificial right, not a natural one.
Mine did. What did you run? The google desktop installer that you got from messing with the binary, or the winzip installer itself?
If you actually run the installer you'd find that it asks you if you want to install it - probably a similar deal as Yahoo toolbar with flash player or whatever.

i think it's a violation when you have XP Tablet Edition installed. or if it's sold as a tablet or something
Except for the fact that you just hit the nail on the head. gnu/linux Just. Doesn't. Sound. Cool.
And linux could run a BSD userspace
someone should do that, just to shut him up

They do seem to mean to include tablets, though - which are basically laptops with a digitizer and a swivel screen.

if they're so "incidental" why can't he just ignore them?

Read which copyright laws? 17 USC? I've read them a bit, but, it's not clear that US copyright law even applies.
Why do you need a ruling on this?
Because we have a common law system, not a 'your gut feeling' system.
it's not clear to me at all that it violates copyright law outside of russia. it's not clear to me at all that [as others have claimed] the artists don't get paid.

Except for all that ionizing radiation that will get in when the Van Allen belts are attenuated to the point of nonexistence.
