They can claim they own as much as they want in the EULA, now you would not be able to sue them over using images of your in game character but they would not be able to sue you for making a comic based on "their" (actually still your) character. The transfer of the copyright to the character is not a legal contract because there is no detriment. you would give up the character but they would give up nothing. In addition property cannot be transferred in that way anyways. Microsoft could hide a clause in their EULA claiming ownership of any and all works created on a windows based workstation but it wouldn't be valid.
either that or because disk compression was a crappy idea in the first place. I remember after my uncle installed doubleSpace on the family computer when i was a kid it ran slower and generaly sucked until he took it off, turning a disk from X space to X+Y-Z such that N>=0 and Z is the installed space of the application is sketchy at best, since you could no longer reliable predict how much space was usable the compression didn't really allow for installing more programs.
so you think they would freak out *LESS* if an unauthorized communication was detected in an encrypted form, as it was if a plaintext telnet email was enough to fire him i would bet they would have arrested him for an SSL connection.
most people who don't like tabbed browsing have not used it for a day, usually when i first show it to someone they don't get the point, but after a day or so they won't go back.
could probably be beaten, Tabs have been used to display things like configuration menus for ages, putting a new content field into a structure is hardly patentable.

it is able to be stacked, but not particularly well, too many may become unstable and it would have poor resistance to falling over if jostled. as opposed to the nintendo 64 and super NES (as well as the uncommon later version of the NES) which are unstackable due to protrusions (carts) on the top.
Their web service will only let you download two simultaneous files
wtf that's pretty weird, shit any money saved by that has got to be eaten up by the equipment, maintanence, and electrical cost of the extra hardware to sit there sniffing for http downloads. are you sure it isn't the standard browser limitation of 3 connections per server (one usually reserved for downloading pages/embedded files, the other two used for embedded or file downloads)
as in a very simple frame or modification can hold a stack together, either tabs protruding from the {top|bottom} or a set of verticle bars while allowing access to all ports and plugs
Wind and solar aren't dangerous because the amount of energy generated per square foot is very small; and this is exactly what makes them (at this point in time) unworkable solutions for large scale energy production.
you've never seen what an out of control wind turbine can do on impact with either a structure or person have you?
is that one part per million by mass? if not than it could easily take far less material, if it was one part per million by particle then it owuld need substancially less, 73.7 Kilograms (liters) of water or 114 kilograms of nitrogen(N2), or 118 kilograms of 80%N2 20%O2 Air
This almost makes me feel like suicide, there's no point in this experimental union of 50 states, it has failed completely.
Actually the grandparent was spot on about newtons laws, since the buildings do not move (much) the energy remains, some is expended by causing slight sway and sound, but indeed most of the energy remains in the wind.
The reason i chose the part of your post i did to quote was because i was going to make a snide comment about how you should do it because the educational system obviously failed on you, but i decided against it.
then animals will adapt to use humans, such as flies laying eggs which turn into parasitic larva which consume excess fat, thus actually helping some hosts and eventually becoming a benificial symbiotic relationship where periodically, those who would have become fat, instead get painless leisions which erupt into live flies.
russia had few to no properly enforced safety regulations. I'm pretty sure that modern reactor design allows severyal safety systems to simultaniously fail without warning and still release no harmful materials. Also the casks used to transport radioactive waste can withstand even the most serious of accidents. I would think that the casks could withstand a rather substantial direct attack as well, including rocket launchers and car bombs, but i have not read anything about such measures so i only present that as a guess.
The binaries are commonly believed to be under copyright. Yet a machine produced those from my source code. Why wouldn't the plots and other machine produced outputs also be under copyright?
the difference is that the binary is a derivitive work of the source code, while the output of your program is just the output of your program which is creating a derivitive work from it's input data.
you can detect autofire, if the spacing between button presses is less than X milliseconds and no more than Y milliseconds differance for more than Z ssequential presses you have detected an autofire controller. though the real solution is to make sure that rapidly pressing the same button is not helpful.
actually the only way to investigate without setting off alarms would have to gotten an order to clone the machines while they were running, then take the originals, a node vanishing mysteriously would be considered the same as a node compromised.

I'm not aware of any time someone has been forced to do somehting by a court based solely on a EULA

This must be the dumbest comment I've ever read.
I take it you didn't preview your post then?
or did you mean...

But then, a 100% efficient windfarm would take out 100% of the kinetic energy of the wind moving past it.
no, 100% efficient windfarms would convert 100% of energy taken from the air into electrical energy.

They will be putting miniature clones of the slashdot editors into the drives?
ummm... a beam splitter would write the data multiple times, you would want a multi-laser system.
actually the only way to investigate without setting off alarms would have to gotten an order to clone the machines while they were running, then take the originals, a node vanishing mysteriously would be considered the same as a node compromised.
that is why the corporate version runs the application on a server managed by corporate IT.
IANAL but i thought the "use" portion was for patented processes, like a new way to make microchips, not the use of a product covered by patents.
Although I would preffer if M$ withheld windows release dates until they had all the bugs worked out.
I think most of slashdot agrees that MS should stop releasing new versions of windows.
