Despite the fact that the US federal government issues the copyright, it is doing so (article 8, section 8, US Constitution) To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
Violating that exclusivity violates the Constitution... at least as far as Congress has legislated. I don't think it would be legal to pass a retroactive exception for the government to publish the works in question. Works created in the future could be excepted, but that's a different story.
Then again, I think that Megan's Law shouldn't be applied to people who've already served out their sentence. It's one thing to make community notification a condition during sentencing, and yet another to do it to people who've already served out their sentences years ago.
I'm still curious as to what chips HP manufactures these days. I'm guessing very few if any. With the cost-cutting they've done cheaping out on their employees across the board, the fact that they would still have people researching IC manufacturing is a bit baffling.
Now if only they still made chips, like the Alpha or PA-RISC, it might matter, but since both architectures are toast, why are they even researching this?
What the article talks about is a web server farm. The servers aren't migrating data among each other... and since the author suggests using round-robin DNS for redundancy instead of DNS-based wide area load balancing and/or having a failover-style cluster setup so one machine going down activates a standby... well... while it may be useful to get people playing with things on their home network, it's not anything people who want to keep their jobs should be doing unless they're on a near-zero budget and using old desktops as web servers.
I'm a little curious as to how the marbles would interconnect in your scenario. It's not so much the neurons, per se, but more the way they work together and the way they change how they work together...
Oversimplification which loses sight of that fact does nothing for your argument.
googlebot also respects robots.txt... so you can keep it away if you'd like.
web.archive.org has old copies of sites, with far more of an intent to long-term-archive web content, if someone's worried about things staying around longer than they intended.
At most of the places I've worked, the grammar of a significant percentage of the employees bordered on illiteracy. At least these bloggers are likely to be able to write coherently.
I think that you'd have to be using at least tens of kilowatts before you could realistically be flagged. I've run plenty of PCs and air conditioners 24/7 in a 2BR apartment and nobody came a-knockin'.
Which, of course, means multi-cpu blades with AMD CPUs will rock the house for HPC clusters.
It's really fun to see the competition (watch out for the really bad pun) heat up (ouch!) in the x86 market, pushing not just price, but innovation in efficiency.
Isn't that a way to say, "Hey, as far as we're concerned, anything of ours already in there is fine" as a way to put people at ease over possible infringement already in the kernel, and not so much a license to glom from them in the future?

Will the post office bother continuing to service Pueblo, Colorado?
The government doesn't hold copyright on all of the documents in the Library of Congress. I don't think it's a feasible thing to do.
as long as the government doesn't subject 99% of the documents to classified status, I think that it's quite a noble goal.
Have other governments around the world done this?

Named, of course, after your smelly "thing", no doubt.
Dude, shower sometimes.
I think it's because Marconi was the first to use run-on sentences like yours.
d00d!!! just underclock your radio, and while you're in there, put in a cold cathode blue light!

The real question is how the government of a country too poor to pay for Windows got 50000 PCs.

I guess that the next version of Microsoft's SQL Server won't be called My SQL Server.
CRTs will still be the best monitors out there for a lot of things, especially graphics
Given the other uses for monitors, like babysitting the children and mowing the lawn, I'm glad I can still count on CRTs for graphics.
You're talking about motivation, not discipline.
Never been to http://fleshbot.com/?
Well, I would assume that the corporate communications department would be involved in the blogger's work. Do most companies still have those?

taking a chance, putting their necks out
Umm... does this really take guts, forming a co-op?
How many watts do the lights use, though?

Unfortunately, power has failed Russians for longer than any of them can remember...
Since skype uses TCP, it'll be even worse than satellite phones... since there need to be ACKs.
So one high-latency trip to send the packet, and another one for the ACK.
