A one line bug fix would only not need explicit copyright assignment if it failed to meet the criteria for a "creative" work. That is pretty unlikely.
Taking one line out of a much larger program would qualify in most cases as fair use, but where the work itself is only one line long, then it wouldn't qualify, because it is too large a proportion of the total work.
I personally don't have a problem with the idea that you have to be administrator to write to anywhere other than c:\users\$username\. It is radical idea for Windows, but other operating systems have done that for a lot longer. Slashdotters criticised MS for not having this policy. Now it appears they are criticising them for listening to their complaints.
And absolutely nothing to do with the fact that, in England anyway, it is currently hotter now, in mid April, than the normal maximum temperature in July, and that 2007 is shaping up to be by far the hottest year ever, much hotter than the current holder of the record, which was last year.
We call GPL code "copy left" to make it clear that is different from copyright. People who violate the GPL deny other people the freedom to use and modify the code. People who violate traditional copyright licences don't do that. That is the difference, and that is why we are against GPL violation.
Models with traditional engines from Toyota include the Aygo - 68.9 mpg and the Yaris - 62.8 mpg, so other than the fact that some road tolls and parking permit charges are cheaper on the Prius, there isn't really much point in getting it.
These figures are in British gallons. There's about 1.2 US Gallons in a British Gallon, so the 65.7 mpg is comparable to your 55 mpg.
My insurance policy, and the policies of all the companies I looked at when I took it out say they will only pay up where there is evidence of forced entry.
But if nobody reads the free listings because they are mostly scams, then people will have to pay one of the competitors if they want people to actually read their ads. That for example, is why ebay gets most of the business, despite being more expensive than the competition.
You may need to transcode it into a format the Rio supports, but without the DRM, that won't be a problem other than either a slight loss of quality or a much larger file size.
It probably was funded by some idiotic venture capitalist. There are companies that will print out files and send them in the mail. That's a viable business model insofar as they print out something that my Canon MP780 can't do, and they charge enough to cover the costs of doing so.
I wouldn't necessarily agree that the EU is typically more protective of IP than the US. Certainly, the EU were first to increase the copyright term to 70 years, but the US introduced the DMCA before the EU introduced the EUCD, and the US has software patents, something which the EU parliament has rejected.
Incidentally, this proposed directive almost certainly doesn't mean that non-commercial file sharing becomes legal in all EU countries. The directive most likely will require all EU countries to make commercial sharing an offence, but they will be free to do what they want regarding non-commercial sharing.
Encoding itunes songs to a different format means burning it to a CD, either a real or virtual one, and then ripping it to a different format. When you rip it, you either have to chose a lossless format, which means it takes up more space, or your song is of a lower quality than the downloaded aac version.
Large retailers do it to get rid of stock as well. At this current moment, I am eating something I bought from a large retailer, Sainsburys, which was reduced from £3.69 to £0.30 because its sell-by date is today and there was still a load of them on the shelf. They are happy because they got something for the stock, rather than having to pay someone to empty it out of the bin, and I'm happy because I got some cheap food.
Well London to either Vancouver or Toronto, or for that matter Australia, China, etc is about $0.02 per minute, so that is way too expensive. Within Britain, long distance calls are about 5p ($0.10) per hour.
Surely having a big cartridge that goes across the whole length of the page to make things faster is "obvious", even to the muppets at the US Patent Office? As in, even more obvious than having a small cartridge that goes left and right across the page to save money on nozzles.

MS do actually provide a free addon for Office 2003 that lets it open the docx / xlsx etc formats found in Office 2007.

Also the UK has 61m mobiles v the US which has 219m. Genetically modified food pretty much doesn't exist in the UK. Nobody wants to buy it.

Well if it can run Mac OSX, and do all the things that an OSX computer can do, it must be a computer.
Try suing someone for buying their own pizza bread, cheese, tomatoes etc and making it into a pizza instead of going to pizza hut for it.

Using the official government figures at http://www.vcacarfueldata.org.uk/ , the Prius gets 65.7 mpg.

I think "protection" as in "protection racket" is exactly the right term to use.
Not really, as it encourages people to take this train rather than a much more polluting internal flight.
5km has certainly been managed though - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qinghai-Tibet_Railway

In a genuinely free market, the retailer would just go to another manufacturer and get the same goods from them.

In a desktop, I'm not that bothered about power consumption. In a laptop, I'm interested in battery life, so overall power usage is important.
