3.0 (Forked) So we decided to fork the law. A bunch of us used to work for BritainCo. but we were totally bummed out by their management. So we formed US Inc. We're still going to support legacy laws under the British system because, frankly, it works well enough, it's really big and it'd cost a fortune to overhaul it.
You're missing a 'd'. It should be:...I always thought his name was "Elrond"
No, you're wrong. It should be I always thought his name was Enron, since scientology is just a way of making quick money from the gullible for it's managers.
Actual damages from bittorrent have to be very small. Most people simply don't even know what bittorrent is.
I just got back from a bar where I was chatting to a girl (ie not a computer geek), and she brought up the topic of bittorrent. So the fact that a generic young (20ish) person mentioned it a bar means it's only a matter of time before the general populace cottons on to bittorents. IMHO.
In iTunes 4.7 Apple restricted this feature. You can only play music from 3 other playlists every 24 hours. This was in response to pressure from RIAA as university networs were becoming a smorgasbord of free-to-listen music through iTunes sharing.
Actually it limits the number of received connections to 5 per day, rather than restricting the number of playlists you can connect to. But a similar effect, nonetheless.

Wrong. Even free distribution is considered distribution under copyright law.
The post didn't say that it wasn't distribution, just that there is a difference in fair use between commercial and free distribution, as detailed here
Libel applies whereever you attribute something in writing to someone who does not hold that belief. It is always legally actionable.
RTFA, it's not about libel, but copyright infringment, so your precedents are irrelevant. There are legal precedents where use of copyright materials are allowed, such as those listen in section 2 here.
Fact: the article was about the ozone layer, not the greenhouse effect, and the two are largely unrelated (other than tropospheric ozone levels contributing to the greenhouse effect, but that was not what the article was about). The parent post is offtopic, not insightful.
There's actually a real lack of genetic data on marsupials and monotremes. Interesting for evolutionary reasons, but also because understanding how koalas break down toxins (such as various eucalyptus oils) gives general insights into drug metabolism (there are people studying this in my lab, in fact). If you'd like to donate funds for sequencing the kangaroo, go here.
I'm glad our educational system has progressed to the point that students can get acclaim for watching fantasy movies and devoting their time to "studies" of this kind. The human condition is so much better off now.
I don't know about you, but I'd like medical doctors to be able to diagnose diseases.

Happy Fork Day!
Talk about prior art.
Trademark != patent.
Someone explain why the water in the picture looks red/brown?

Considering that you're referring to us as "Yanks"
Totally off-topic post, but in some parts of the world (at least Australia to my knowledge) the term "yank" or "yankee" refers to any American.
I don't get the first two words.
:)
They're in one of the articles. Roaches are cool. I want to pin some (Australian) native ones into my collection one of these days.

He only got one thing wrong.. it's not "Microsoft kicks the dog", it's "Microsoft kicks the bucket" (or am I guilty of wishful thinking?)
Did you also know that McDonalds coffee is hot?

But HIFI stereo, which means it has the highest level of fidelity available. It also sports an 8-track.
With a Brimful of Asha on the 8-track?

Who said crack dealers have nothing to teach service providers?
Well they 'aint in it for love.
From the people who brought you "extreme ADSL2+" while only enabling 4 actual exchanges. This oughtta be a laugh
Firstly, there are another ~40 planned for 2005, and these are being held up by the evil oligopolistic Telstra.
Secondly, the wireless points connect via standard ethernet into Agile's backbone network, I believe.

Shouldn't they of released their space heaters at the *beginning* of Winter?
I come from a land down under,
Where Intel's glow, and Winter begins in June.
See here, it is illegal in Australia to use address harvesting software.
...they could also add 'women' to the index so we know how to identify one.
Generally the presence of breasts is a good clue.
Some list of suggestions for handling procedures

Please don't tell me that it's funded my Microsoft...
Bill Gates? That you? On a more serious note, an EU judge has upheld penalties against Microsoft.
