You could use shrink film and show them how to make their own bits of plastic. Custom game bits, stuff that goes with current plastic bits. It is a small simple thing, but you can start to show them how to hack their toys.
And while a lot of these suggestions are awesome they are basically toys that require hacking, any toy can be hacked with some tools. Think about a toy mod kit paint pens, shrink film, design your own stickers, iron on able printer paper. You can start giving them the idea that they can impose their aesthetic and desires on their stuff instead of just leaving it an unremarkable pile of plastic.
There is a way to get the decision reviewed, because the MBTA is a state agency the students can use 1983 to claim that in seeking a protective order under these conditions it deprived them of constitutionally protected rights.
They could counter-claim if the MBTA keeps up its suit or file on their own if it is dismissed.
Sure is it just cash damages (including attorneys fess) but it is recourse
I can see why the Red Cross would let it go to trial. This is a no-win for J&J and they are going to have to settle. You can't sue the Red Cross for using a Red Cross, it is just not going to go over well with the public.
What would happen in court doesn't really matter here. The Red Cross know that and let J&J develop a publicty nightmare. Even if they win they lose.
I expect this to settle, in fact I would not be suprised if after settlement they didn't come out with a Home Emergancy kit that had donated J&J products.
What a judge will think (and I think the Red Cross can reasonably argue that both marks are so deeply known that there is no real risk of market confusion) is beside the point when you have just made yourself look like a total ass in front of your customers
Nonsense. If you don't accept the license (GPL) you have no right to use the program. Why? Because the work is implicitly protected by copyright law which makes the copy illegal (i.e., you have no right to use it).
At least your post is properly labeled.
Copyright limits your abilty to make copies. Unless you made a copy of the program (and are thus a distributor as well as a user) it simply doesn't apply. It takes more then use to trigger copyright protections.
Ben Franklin was a book pirate, he re-printed english books without premission when he was a publisher.
Now china is similarly invovled in infinging activity.
I wonder if the reasons are not much the same.
In the colonial preiod getting "legal" english books was difficult, slow and expensive. You generally had to order and wait months for shipping. The pirated copy was likely to be in the local book store.
Now a legal copy of things from overseas might be avilable if you look, but it will be expenisive and slow compaired to the illegal copy. This puts people in content consuming nations at a bigger disavantage.
So it is a way to correct for the market falure created by the slow adaption to new markets and technology. In one case, the cononial market, in the other then international, internet based market.
Not usually.
In general you pay your own court costs unless the suit is found to be an abuse of process.
It means that there is less penality for filing which is a probelm, but it also keeps the courts open to people who are not wealty.
I am not a tech type person. The idea of dealing with finding hardweare drivers for a laptop to install linux on my own is just scary.
All the same when I read the EULA for Vista I knew I would not be using it.
I need a new laptop soon and had resigned myself to paying for an apple just to avoid Vista and have an OS that was still supported.
I suspect that these laptops are for people like me, savvy enough to use with the new interfaces, but not yet read to install
Be happy, this means I wont show up and beg for help at your local LUG.
Right now the empolyer and empolyee both have reason to keep an illegal status secrest and no real motivation to report it.
They are also the two people best equipped to report it.
If we were actaully serious about preventing illegal labor (which I personally think is silly) we would destroy the trust in the transaction by giving on party a reason to default.
It this case it would be easy, give a green card to an illegal who reports an employer.
I use it a lot too. Easy to do on weekends and makes enough for a week.
I like the lack of "bite" even though some complain about that, it is smoother tasting. Also fairly cheap and strongly flavored.
It also gives a good base for fancy drinks with frothed milk (an immersion blender will do reasonably well) and iced drinks (I like to keep a simple suryp for sweeting).
Iced being easy is a big bonus in Florida.
The timing is intersting given the new ruling on Obviousness.
I wonder if a lot of patent things will settle to avoid litigation and thus potential re-examiation.
It would seem like IBM would press to settle, but prehaps IBM thretened to instigate a reexamation of Amazon patents.
I would not be susprised is everyone is spooked and with the insurance thing Amazon agreed to a nominal settlement and IBM accepted on the condition that they seal it.
I like the idea of making the primaries go one at a time in order from most to least % (of total elegable pop, not just regestered voters) turnout in the last election
Flag Burning, "Fuck the Draft", First admendment law is not based off of inoffensive actions.
Speech that is not "thretening" generally needs no protection.
This is an idenfifyable group, but it not a small one so I doubt the exception for threating speech would apply.
The thing is, unconstitional laws happen, that is what courts are for, to make them go away.
This is not how I would choose to do battle with an orgnization I opposed, but it is not illegamitate.
Saying "be nice" undermines the key issue, that sometimes it will be nessacry to not be nice. That is why we protect people who aren't. It is hard to tell, contempriously, who is right.
maybe the tower of Babel was actually a restrictive IP regime... someone got copyright on the alphabet so someone else had to reverse-engineer to avoid licensing fees
the company aggressively defends the secrecy of its patented search ranking system and asserts its right to adapt it to give customers what it determines to be the best results.
If something is patented it is non-secret, you can look up the patent. If it is kept secret then it is protected by trade secret.
Does anyone know how page rank is actually protected? Is it a combination?
Neither one of the Fujitsu products, RAFT and GlobalStore, is among the products approved by the major credit card companies. This doesn't mean that the software doesn't meet industry standards. It only means that the software hasn't undergone the review process needed for sanctioning by the group, according to a note on Visa's site.
Seems like something went wrong, they still don't know what or how (other then the possible OfficeMax connection), but they are using this opportunity to claim that it has something to do with devices not sanctioned by CC compaines.
Look like this has a high probablity of being spin.
Doctors in teaching hospitals today are operating in a kind of Zip drive, where patients are compressed into smaller and smaller space. There are probably several reasons: sicker patients, quicker patient turnover, administrative pressures to cut costs, even rules limiting work hours.
Today I see staff reflexively calling consultants, not because they have legitimate questions but because they don't have the time or inclination to think through a difficult case for themselves. Unlike Dr. House, no one wants to take on challenging cases, so they are tossed back and forth between consultants.
So prehaps part of the problem is that patents who are not having their needs addressed by a medical assimbly line are trying their best to do it themselves.
It was thanks to a copy of an early LSL game that I learned the following valuable infromation:
1) The names of all the beatles.
2) What prophylactic ment, and where to get one.
3) That 2 was important if you were going to hire a hooker
At 14 I found the first bit of information much more useful then the second, and I have not yet had occasion to use data point three, but it just goes to show Steven Johnson is right, you can learn things from video games http://www.penguinputnam.com/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,0_1573223077,00.html
If unsub sites get overloaded on a regular basis then I would not be suprised to see even the weak protections of CANN-SPAM lifed.
Some companies really do unsubscribe people, and this defense would be gone, leaving us with more garbage then ever and a useless tool.
You are also gonna hurt "legitmate" spammers who follow the rules more then phishers, scammers and other hucksters.
Given what you said about the cost it seems like something ideal for the back of an ambulance. Pricy, but urban ERs see a lot of major trama, I belive that is were battlefield surgeons frequently train. Then again you are talking about using a pricy item in a situation where people are less likely to be able to pay....
There was an intersting exchange on Slate about Grokster. One of the points made it that the rule announced is basically a rule of etiquette. This seems a good analogy, and points out the limited effect.
What will be intersting is when this ruling is put up against non-commerical products. Commerical speech is subject to a lower level of protection. Non-commerical speech is not as limited, and I don't know that applying this ruling to a non-commerical sitution would be more of a speech problem.
The Supreme Court can change its mind. I am profoundly grateful that they can. This is not an complete overruling, but they have done even that on occasion. Do you want to be trapped in a world where Brown can't overrule Plessy and Laurance can't overrule Bowers? I don't.
I don't regularly use encrypted mail, but I will have a need to do so in the future. How can I assure privicy upstream? Are there US compnies or laws that will make me more secure?

I have one for fun, but I use first.last@gmail.com for business stuff. I guess I should suck it up and get another for business related uses.
Ah! Much of my misdirected email is firstnamelastname@gmail. I wonder if this is the root of the problem.
