First, concrete isn't watertight, all basements leak. Generally they don't leak fast enough to be a problem, it just evaporates away.
If the concrete doesn't stick to the glass, you end up with a weaker product.
The key part of composite materials is that unless the bond between the members is strong you don't end up with ideal performance. In the worst case you end up with the properties of one part (like the concrete) at reduced cross sectional area, and a large number of stress concentrations.
You say no action may be taken against consumers who act in "good faith".
If there is no oversight by the courts, who determines "good faith" the recording companies?
Freezing someones assets is a drastic measure, it terrifies me that my assets could be frozen by a company on a mere accusation, without any court oversight.
Hosting something for 3 years, under an agreement that you would do so for free, then trying to charge for it retroactively is definately improper, and a violation of the existing contract.
If he would have merely tried to charge from a set point in time, and perhaps for the content he had created it, he would be safe. Back charging in violation of the existing contract, this really isn't defensible, and he isn't entitled to that money. Removing a valuable public service, and withholding all information from that service, unless you receive money you aren't entitled to is just not a fair way to play.

What is really scary is that this person in a position of trust, with a valid reason to know this information on a person feels they can blindly hand it out to someone who is NOT authorized just because they felt like it.
Dummy corporations aren't needed, most of the information is already there.
Isn't this similar to a slashdot story of about 2 years ago?
Basically a small recorder that broadcasted a RFID, and would record that of others. This would result in a log of every RFID tag you came across, remember what books you looked at, which people you saw.
I use to think that. Used pine till about 2 years ago, then mutt.

Assuming a rectangular container, pour the washer fluid with the container somewhat horizontal. You can even ask a mechanic how to pour without gulping, I know it sounds silly, but they should know.
The YCC is a user friendly car. Think of the hood as the "Advanced" dialog on a GUI.
They want to put washer fluid and gas in it, so have those the only two inputs normally shown.
Why put washer fluid along with all that other complicated stuff you never have to touch? All those fuses, wires, other fluids, they're just confusing, why not hide them. Isn't that good UI design?
Lets assume that Linux has SCO material and SCO has some sort of magical legal leg to stand on.
In this case the end user doesn't have a license, because Redhat can NOT relicense code they don't own. Redhat would be liable to the end user for licensing software they don't have rights to. But the end user who is infringing the copyright of the actual owner would be liable to them.
There is a risk they could get sued. They determined it was cheaper to pay them off then risk it. Unpopular decisiton, but justifiable. Note he did refer to the cost of defense, not just losing.
Now the liability issue, people keep claiming that the end user isn't liable. However I thought that in US law the act of running a program (ie copying into memory) required a license, this is the arguement behind EULA. In this case the person actually running the software would be committing the infringement, and liable. They could claim someone else gave it to them, and get the money back from Redhat or something, but that wouldn't excuse them. Just thoughts IANAL
Ethics are a professional issue. Engineers, Doctors, Priests, Teachers and Lawyers all have ethical standards.
Software developers and contractors should also, at least they could have some liability.
As to where to draw the line, ethically that is a question for philosophers, legally it belongs to lawmakers and the courts.
My view is that feeding bad code is just an attack, and of a similar ethical stance to a bomb or similar acts. Making the bad code would be the same as making the bomb. Making shoddy code would be the same as a shoddy bookshelf.
Like I said, GM sells Korea designed and manufactured cars here in North America with Chevy badges. There was no design work done here, ask any GM employee if they are happy with GM cutting engineering and manufacturing jobs while they throw a Chevy badge on a Korean car.
The Japanese do some engineering work, and have design studios here, they're building factories here.
The badge isn't an indication of where the car was designed or made.
I'm scared about losing the manufacturing jobs, once they are gone it is a pretty reasonable step to move the design and test capacity closer to the factory.
The auto industry is growing. The auto industry in the US is also growing. The two automakers with their world headquarters in the US aren't growing their US marketshare.
Production in the US is up, sales in the US are up. To focusing on where the HQ building is rather then the vehicle is built is misleading.
Todays reality is that GM sells imports (Korean made) with a Chevy badge, and Toyota sells American made vehicles. I'll support the domestic industry, to me, that is the plant down the highway, not the one overseas.
That being said like a good free market consumer I buy the best vehicle at the best price.
I disagree, the North American Auto industry is growing. Parts are being offshored at an astonishing rate, but all automakers are doing this. I don't consider any automaker pure anything, they're all fighting like crazy to be the most competative they can. There is a strong focus on cost, quality and performance.
GM, Ford, Toyota, Daimler Chrysler, Honda, Nissan are all publicly held companies with North American macturing plants. There is a Toyota/Lexus plant is within 20km of my house, and it's growing bigger every year.
Be careful other professions you're next. This is just silly Service jobs don't need a big secret. Just provide a good valuable service, and you've got a good chance of success.
If that was not the case prostitutes would have been out of business years ago, everyone knows their skills. If a Doctor tells you what he is prescribing, and how to be healthy he won't be able to compete with cheap competition. Lawyers, stop telling everyone how to fight the laws, you'll be undercut by cheap followers. Teachers, by telling others what you know, you'll be out of a job. Politicians, once you write a law, anyone can use it without paying you. Athletes, don't let anyone see you play, by analysing your technique and plays, you can't handle the competitors.
Here you can buy from the government regulated electrical power grid. Or you can generate your own electricity. Solar cells, gas generators, waterfalls or whatever you want. But there is a reason most people don't do this, the utility price is easy, cost competative and reliable.
I think rates aren't all that high, most people waste huge amounts of electricity. I read somewhere the average household in my area uses 750kWh/month, I just just over 300 kWh.
Complain all you want, but when voters care, issues happen.
My uninformed opinion of Utah is that there attitude is kinda like. "We protect our own, you outsiders go away"
Note that there is interest from California, and Massachusetts. They point out the Senator from Massachusetts sponsored an antispam bill. Even if the bill wasn't perfect, it did pass, and at least he is trying to do something. Perhaps with the right help he can do better with RFID?

Isn't this why freedom of association is important?
If you can't communicate freely, you have no freedom.

The person suing you would be that Ford dealer for not actually giving ownership of the vehicle to them.

You make the point that Daimler is cutting US jobs and moving them to Germany.
What about GM moving them to Korea?
Like I said, GM sells Korea designed and manufactured cars here in North America with Chevy badges.
There was no design work done here, ask any GM employee if they are happy with GM cutting engineering and manufacturing jobs while they throw a Chevy badge on a Korean car.

This patent has not been granted yet.
So they are keeping it a secret.
If the patent is denied, they can have an advantage by rolling it out earlier.
If it is granted, you can go look it up.

They don't require energy for lift.
