There is no moral right to control what others do with their property
I think your brain stalled there - one can think of a million moral reasons to restrict what somebody does with their property. Think of guns for a nanosecond for example.
In this, case the artist has sold a copy of his work. This copy, the property of the new owner, can then be done with as the new owner wishes. No? You didn't mean that?
Copyright is a temporary monopoly to prevent the new owners of released material from making money for a short time on their copies. That is all.
Personally, I don't think non-commercial copying is all that bad.
Mod this post UP. It's obscene for an author to complain like this about 10 year old material. Copyright is to encourage authors to *keep writing*. It is not a perpetual monopoly.
I'm curious. Apart from the altitude, what's the difference between a 90 minute polar orbit around the moon as opposed to a 90 minute polar orbit around the earth?
Good question! But I doubt the OP will have the chutzpah to try to reply. I wonder what could make the lunar space environment so cold compared to the Earth space environment? Magic lunar icecubes? But why polar orbit? Approximately equatorial makes transfers easiest.
I quote from MS server EULA: "not designed, manufactured, or intended for use or resale as on-line control equipment in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, such as in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, direct life support machines, or weapons systems," only somewhat out of context:)
anyone know how to do what the subject says?
my firefox says there is no plugin for the weird
plugin perimeter is using, but I'd rather download
the videos anyway. But how?
What is even more amazing is that the Model T cost
$850 in 1908 (in 1908 dollars) but the price had
*fallen* to $290 by 1925 (in 1925 dollars).
Cars then
were acting like computers now. Too bad that the
automotive Moore's law quickly failed:( You *ought*
to be able to buy a new car for a couple of hundred
bucks!
He "used to be Jaron Lanier" and he is writing this
kind of article because he's upset that nobody knows
who he is anymore... He would do better to just rest
in peace.
(No, standup comedians do not fall under this category, neither to artists. The arts as a whole contribute positively to society, while watching sports is empty entertainment
Net Discretionary spending is not the same as
the total budget. In fact, NDS is about 40% of
the total budget. I think the original figure
of 21% is base military as percent of total
government expenditure. And by military they
mean base military funding, not WoT stuff.
So there is no big disagreement
really between your figures and the article
figures...
Yesterday the Globe and Mail reported (estimated - it
was not entirely clear based on what) that in the
FIRST day, radiohead grossed ten million dollars.
I hope they're right.
What did it cost to set up that webpage? Well, it must
have been essentially nothing. Bandwidth costs also
almost nothing (even $50,000.00 would count as almost
nothing in this context).
Of course, the band had to spend many hours in the
studio getting their music to the (almost incredible)
level of perfection they are known for. But, I kind
of think they enjoyed that part.
This looks like the most profitable business in the
world!

so ... does this mean that young people should be given some
cyclosporin to temporarily weaken their immune systems?
The truth has never been seen as an obstacle by the RIAA's lawyers.
So how come your president is loading his gov't with 'em?

I think it was to bother you, personally.
"YouTube went on to note that they are strong supporters of free speech." -- except in China for some inexplicable reason.

true - although the original and the core idea that strikes fear in the hearts of code thieves' lawyers was written not by a lawyer ...
according to this site (in German) the appeal has been withdrawn and skype has retreated with its tail between its legs.

until they take a few minutes to understand
it.

It seems - as usual - lawyers think they can beat down the "amateur made" gpl
Apart from this, how are you enjoying your first trip to Earth?

How much extra for the xp? $150 maybe. Doesn't seem worth it for what you get ... but I suppose the buttons and icons are
where you expect them.

I'd be wary of any story from this source, what with all its links to "overunity" and "free energy" sources. Where's the corroboration from Toshiba?
And does your car refuse to run when the gauge is low? (see story of Epson above)

Lubos Motl thinks it's pure bullshit ... so Lisi might
well be on to something :)
First of all, the inrainbows.zip file is 48.4MB. Second, $17K is is .0017 of $10,000,000.00 I.e nothing.
