Except if the original matches the one that the student turned in, then isn't the student the one who committed copyright infringement? All the teacher is supplying is the paper the student already turned in.
That isn't realistic. Teachers teach the same thing for multiple semesters. There's no way to make it so that a paper from one class in one semester is not equally valid in another class in another semester.
Okay, with SOME classes that is possible, but not very many.
Are you planning to build a space station from flecks of paint, foam, and metal? Unlike in cartoons, you can't just build anything from random metal parts.
He didn't say it was illegal. He said third parties never get anywhere. His statement is a mathematical fact because the US has a plurality system with no run-off. In that system, any vote for anyone other than the top two candidates does not impact the election. In other systems that is not the case. Hence, those systems are more open to third parties.
Agreed. Tiered pricing is the way to go. Unfortunately, Time Warner's bad-faith approach to this is going to make it tougher for companies to do legitimate consumption-based billing without getting knee-jerk backlash from users.
Fiber is simply too expensive. Have you ever driven across the continent? Well I have. Several times. There's a whole lot of *nothing* out there and digging up literally millions of miles of dirt to run fiber to farmhouses is going to cost a shitload of money.
100 years ago, someone probably said the same thing about copper.
Depends on the type of bulb. The ones I get from Ikea are smaller than the ones I see in Target/Walmart/Home Depot/Lowes. They come-on instantly, but take a few minutes to get to full brightness. The other type take 2 seconds to come-on, but are at 90% brightness right away.
There's benefits to both types: The 2 second delay ones are useless in a hall light. (I had guests turn on the hall light, see nothing, then turn it off).
No he didn't. He voted in favor of telecom immunity. He said that the FISA Amendment was a "compromise" even though no compromise was made.
Obama never opposed this. His supporters merely hoped that he pretended not to support it to keep from looking weak on terrorism, and that when he got into office he would reverse his position.
It is impossible to be both a member of the 5-digit UID club, and the 1-digit UID club. That's not fair. I think members of the N-digit ID club should also automatically be members of the N+1 digit UID club.
While it would still permit high-ranking FBI officials to issue NSLs with temporary gag orders attached,
I think you lost me right there. The government can still issue blanket gag orders and demands for information without a judge. Oops.
the Bureau would have to petition a judge in order to extend that order beyond an initial 30 days.
Wow, that's some pretty weak oversight. My guess is that they will just issue a new security letter instead of extending the old one.
the agency would have the burden of showing a court specific facts justifying each six-month extension of the gag.
A 6 month extension is pretty long IMHO. The judge should set the duration, not the NSL.
the law would radically narrow the scope of National Security Letters, which can currently be used to obtain financial or telecommunications transaction records
I don't want a list of what things they can and can't get. They should be able to get nothing at all, without a court order. Anything else violates the 4th amendment.
NSLs would have to certify that the target to whom the information sought pertained was believed, on the basis of "specific and articulable facts," to be a "foreign power or agent of a foreign power."
Game development is one of the most challenging areas of work. The artists must understand technical limitations, work with cutting-edge tools, and must have a working understanding of higher maths. Software developers must understand multiple highly-variable hardware devices, know assembly, low-level languages, scripting languages, and be able to make code run in milliseconds.
Despite this, they are paid very poorly. I would be working at a game company now if they didn't offer me 1/4 what I can make using only half as much of my brain doing business software.
People go into the business for the sheer joy of it, not for money.
I would not recommend trying to sell your boss on a FOSS solution that was bought out by a commercial company who is running it into the ground. There's other projects out there (Ex: PostgreSQL) that are better sells.

But if they rebranded MySQL to Oracle Light, that would be interesting...
Just give me the 1s, and tell me where they go. I'll fill in the 0s myself. :-)

Except that the pirate bay doesn't just link to illegal stuff. There's tons of legal files on there too.

So does Spare Backup. Just like Mozy, they don't encrypt the file names though. So you can search the file names, but not the contents.
(service roads are a bitch and transporting energy requires infrastructure),
That would be relevant only if coal plants did not require roads as well.
not nearly as bad as it used to be
Granted that it produces less SO2 than it used to, but CO2 is the real problem. So it is really just as bad as it used to be.
not nearly as bad as it used to be and its environmental impact isn't all that much worse than a lot of the "green" sources
Trying to equate the billions of tons of CO2 emitted from coal plants to the minor environmental impact of wind and solar is silly.
I wonder what they call toilets in that language.

I'm sure this has something to do with the "smart grid worm" reported a few weeks ago
I'm tempted to do that, but I bet it would get me IP banned.

That does nothing.
Although I prefer Esperanto.
Why not just mount it on a vertical axis, instead of a horizontal one?
#1 is not really possible.

As far as I know, only Final Fantasy X-2 is a sequel. All the others are unique games with a unique engine.

The local paper can report that you did so without any invocation of copyright.
That's different. You are talking about the fact that you spoke, not the content of the speech.
They can quote parts of your screed under fair use.
Yes, because your "screed" is probably a copyrighted work.
So you should quit making blanket statements based on nothing too.
I did not make any blanket statements.
Neither of you posted statistics. Where are yours?
The entire point of my post was that neither of us have statistics.
Obviously, you missed the point. Ironically, you did the same thing he did and got modded to 5 as well. :-)
