We just take a picture of Osama Bin Laden and (now ex-)Senator Max Cleland, stick them on the telly, without any editing whatsoever, and add a sinister voice-over to scare the sheep...
Just put up a picture, then a newspaper with everything blurred, but the sentence "48 hours after", and then another picture from a year later. Technically not a forgery, but people will still end up believing that both events were only 48 hours apart, rather than a year...
Unless the watermark effectively limits access to the picture (and obviously, it doesn't)
I somehow get the feeling that this isn't what lawyers mean when they say "effective". Or else the entire sentence would be redundant: either the protection is effective, in which case it cannot be removed, thus how could the accused possibly have infringed, doing something that is impossible.
Or, the accused did indeed remove the protection, thus proving it was not really effective, and it wouldn't apply.
In reality however, the word "effective" is more or less just decoration, just like the "technical effect" in European patent law. Don't rely on it to get you off the hook!
An 80-strong U.S. FBI agents raided the Texas-based host of Arabic Web sites, including that of the Arab world's leading independent news channel, prompting charges on Thursday of an 'anti-Muslim witchhunt.'
Not to mention the fact that this story was posted on Slashdot AFTER the equipment was already returned.
How do you expect Slashdot to get the story if the company has no website to spread the word? Obviously, if the FBI had decided to pull a Steve Jackson on them, we would only have heard of the incident in 2008;-)
You cannot just "copy" from Raid-5 drives. They need to be keep in the same physical mounted order order since the data is spread across three different drives. Generally, it depends on what kind of drive configuration your talking about. PC type drives with just one drive, yeah, just mirror copy it.
I hope they are smart (and goodwilling enough) to properly tag the drives, and remount them into the proper machines, in the same order they were in to begin with...
I cannot really imagine them tossing the drives together onto one big pile of trash, and then remounting them in a random PC...
The plates you need to get are diplomatic plates. As a diplomat is generally immune from prosecution, the police generally won't bother stopping such a car.
What if they suspect the plates are fake? Else it would be too damn easy!
people who are comparing it to MySql: is mysql a *real*, relational, transactional database server? stored procedures? triggers? foreign keys?
Mindless MySql bashing troll! Mod down. And for those who for some reason don't know: current MySql versions support all these features.
Of course, if you go back to the stone age you might find some MySql version which didn't yet support everything that makes a database a database, but if we go that far back in time, I'm sure we'll find flamebox be wanting in some areas as well...
Oh, [to the moderator who modded this as Informative]: may I have some of that "tobacco" that you have in your pipe? It smells so good!
I doubt that the paint will neutralize the nitric acid for long
5 years, according to the article. After that, the acid stays in the paint, discoloring it (which has the benefit of making it fairly obvious to the owner of the building that repainting is needed...)
The paint doesn't get "used up" or eventually begin to "leak" the neutralized materials. Rather it simply catalyzes a series of reactions converting Nitrous Oxide to Nitric Acid.
Yes, but when the paint is new, the Nitric Acid is supposed to be absorbed by the calcium carbonate particles that are also embedded in the paint. This second reaction does use up the calcium carbonate (by converting it to calcium nitrate), and when this happens, the acid stays in the paint, discoloring it. This is supposed to happen after 5 years. So, in order to stay efficient, you need to repaint every 5 years.
It's not the 911's that are causing the problem, it's the cars that go at almost exactly the same speed as you and that linger in your blind spot for minutes until you forget about them...
The UK is very much part of the EU. Please don't mod things as informative just because they might look like they know what they're talking about.
Yes, but they drive on the wrong side of the road, they still use funny money, they still measure their dick size in inches, they have more cameras per inhabitant than the Big Brother house, they went to bed^H^H^HIraq with Bush, and are just a pain in the butt in general.
If they are still in the EU, it's because they've not yet been kicked out.
But competing restaurants (AMD, Qualcomm) have the resources to send some samples of the meal to a chemical analysis lab (disassemble the object code), and learn the secrets that way.

So, when the Slashdot effect dies down, please could somebody knowledgeable in MS SQL server put up a portrait of Clemens on his site?
Indeed. Right now I have several lines such as the the following in my /etc/mail/access:
From:cl ERROR:"666 No hablos espanol"
From:br ERROR:"666 No hablo portugues"
Too bad, I can't give the worst offender the same treatment!

Yeah, Bowling for Columbine had that kind of stuff too!

And what about that clock radio on your night stand? Pretty close to your head to!
The guy was drunk, damnit!

hehe!
... thought "trademark lawsuits" (such as in "don't mess with the mouse") upon reading that story title?
Oh, and I thought it was because he believed they had petrol and weapons of mass destruction!
It was a black man who took it in order to sell it to get money to buy some pot

Didn't you get it? There are no weapons of mass destruction! It was all made up by Darl and his cronies!
c) Inflexable:
I agree, Slashdot's integrated spellchecker is indeed hard to find...
