I disagree. HR is a bunch of idiots and they do the "hiring" and background checks. Ostensibly, they have nothing to do with the "business" of a company. That is if you are not HR.
This is a serious problem with data integrity. Check out Choicepoint. They aggregate every piece of data they can with a person's identity. And they are not apologetic about it if they get it wrong. In other words, they are able to create a profile of you without any accountability and sell it as a trusted piece of information that you have no control over. This is similar to your credit report. These things are not regulated and can affect your life.
Otherwise, there is nothing you can do. Your employer will use a background service and it will not show a conviction of you being a sex offender. I would pay for a background check of yourself with the services your employers use so you can see what is being reported.
from being downloaded - period? Then they do not have to play sheriff for the recording industry. Screw the RIAA and MPAA into forcing other industries to be their lapdog for their minuscule industry. There is nothing that says the RIAA and MPAA have the right to deliver their content on the internet. The scope of their "power" is unprecedented for how small they are. What is the source of this "power"?
Yes, it is still a fact of life. Since KY has no jurisdiction over domain names, then tough is the answer. You only can legislate over what you have control of like their borders. So, setup a firewall into KY if KY thinks it should censor speech. Think about what the supreme court ruled yesterday - internet porn filters to protect children are unconstitutional based on freedom of speech. Apparently, KY must be flush with money in their state budget to take on a luxury like fighting in court whether they have the prerogative to steal domain names. Because they will be sued and it may not be in their courts as it may come in federal court.
I think it is really funny that people believe they should go to war when they have no money. Principals are the luxury of those that can afford them. So, either pick cheap principals to have or become rich and fight for them.
when grabbing domain names owned by some other entity in the World? If any entity can just claim that a domain name is illegal, then what prevents me from grabbing KY domain names? Why would a state entity have a greater authority than any other political entity or individual? Who holds KY responsible for acting without a prerogative for this power? For instance, why don't the island nations hosting gambling companies grab all KY GOV domains just to be malicious? I would.
How do you give your ideas away? Is there a forum for this? What you say makes sense, but I am not sure where you donate ideas with a license attached to the idea.
Here is your question: would you sponsor someone to develop something that they keep? If you are not the US government or someone giving money away, the answer is no. If your britches are big enough that you can fund yourself, then you can keep what you create. The school is under no obligation to share their resources with you and in return for access to professors, lab equipment, library, computer network, they want to keep what you create while using their resources.
One option is that you can go to another school if you like. Most of them probably have the same clause. Another option is to self-educate and then you are not depending upon an institution to "fund" your "ah-ha" moment.
I don't understand why people argue about contracts. Don't sign them if you don't agree with them. Don't sabotage your side of a contract if you decide a contract is not in your favor - you signed it. Best thing to do, if you have integrity, is to try and renegotiate the contract or break it and pay the consequences for early termination. Would you think things should be different if you were in the driver's seat of a contract?
So, can I patent a 4D patent that includes time or a 4th dimension and then sue? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_dimension
The fact that it is 3D is more an implementation detail than a novel concept. The novel concept is that multiple people interact in a virtual world like MUDs or Quake. If String Theory proves to be accurate and reality is 11D, should I send in a new patent and then sue because I was the first to send in a patent that specified 11D? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theory
This is stupid.
So what if MUDs were not graphical; is adding 3D graphics novel? MUDs should sue Worlds for creating a multi-user environment where users can interact. That seems to be more fundamental than the fact that 3D was added.
Apparently, the speaker was tasked to test the audience to identify fallacies in the speech like generalization, straw man, and red herring. In addition, so little evidence was used to back up assertions, the speaker was to attempt to draw conclusions without evidence. Needless to say, the audience failed to setup a critical thinking firewall, MS service exception, and instead drank the RIAA flavored koolaid.
I would prefer a wireless vacuum cleaner. Maybe some of you don't participate in the art form known as vacuuming, but the power cord is a pain in the ass.
When are dumb business people that come up with these ideas going to be weeded out of the IT industry? eBay is an Internet company and yet they amaze me in how much they do not understand the Internet; the slashdot crowd should be used as consultants to test out stupid ideas like this and at least discover what may be an Achilles heal(the real strength of trolls.) People should should stop shopping there and let them fade into the internet as a relic of the early 2000s.
Since the economy is taking a big dumb, I am betting they are leveraged to the max like lots of other companies and it should be easy to tip them into bankruptcy - hopefully Chapter 7. How many people have gotten screwed by eBay because they are not accountable to those that buy goods in their marketplace? I can name several people that have been screwed by eBay, which is almost equal to as many people as have been touched by cancer in my life - 1 in 3. It is amazing that eBay wants to eat their cake and have it too by creating a marketplace and not protecting their buyers. Needless to say, I don't know anyone that goes to buy stuff on eBay. Why would we if they don't care about their reputation?
t's only a threat to the established but outmoded business practices. Everyone else from musicians to film makers are using P2P constructively.
Didn't you know the RIAA is the bailout for the failing of the entertainment industry to creatively work their way into the digital age? Why not preserve an antiquated model of doing business? Then entertainment executives don't have to work hard and earn their pay.
It is great that universities are waking up to the abuse, but why did it take so long to figure out that RIAA dragnets are bad? Universities, as entities of their communities, funded by the public, should be stewards and protectors of the public when this type of crap happens. Don't universities gather great amounts of intellect? If so, how come they couldn't see that the RIAA was abusing the US legal system and others around the world? What a bunch of cowards! It must be safer to wait and see instead of influence. WTF do we fund research in universities except to create new theories, modify old ones, and throw away those that are irrelevant. Isn't this referred to as progressive? I am curious as to what is encouraging them. This would have been, and still is, an excellent exercise for law departments and budding new lawyers. The similarity in corporate entrenched culture that becomes stodgy and universities failing to be decisive and lacking of leadership seems oddly similar. Take a risk and be leaders in our communities.
Is there a genetic watermark that is passed down? Otherwise, and this might be totally ignorant, my genetic code is a by-product of two genetic pools? Wouldn't there be other people I am more similar too coincidentally because I am only, ignorance again, 50% made up of either parent?
Might as well ban the internet since it enables technology like bit torrent in the first place. Probably, it is the case that a negligible amount of traffic over the internet in general is legitimate and the rest is criminal. Should we get rid of it?
Wouldn't it be ironic, that someone witnesses the above situation and concludes that you are the murderer and kills you? How do you get out of that situation, Mr. Straw Man? You are an idiot. I hope you are shot by a do-gooder that is confused about your actions.
Really? It seems every time a police officer accidentally kills a person, the city ends up paying lots of money. I wouldn't say police officers get off the hook for self-defense arguments.
I guess in your world, no one makes mistakes. I do not want to live in your world as that is naive.
Oh, so you are a victim when you pull out a gun? Another good reason to not allow you to possess a gun. Gun ownership and carrying a gun is about responsibility, not victim hood. You need to be locked up. If you use a gun and it has unintended consequences, too bad for you because you had the responsibility of making the choice you did. You will fry in my society.
Ah yes, all societies are civilized when individuals think they are the protectors of society. How do I know you are not a loon and perceive a person looking at you funny as your boundary. As a member of society, you should be locked up to protect society.

How about this as a MMO without 3D - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_On-Line#The_Sierra_Network? Seems like this maybe considered prior art as far back as 1990 except for 3D which I think is more of a rendering detail and not novel invention.
you forgot to mention the implementation detail of "in reality."
So, can I patent a 4D patent that includes time or a 4th dimension and then sue? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_dimension The fact that it is 3D is more an implementation detail than a novel concept.
