From TFA: "The Daily, as the name suggests, is a daily iPad newspaper. It costs 99 cents a week, or $40 for a year. " From the WSJ article linked from TFA, "The Daily will be distributed using a new billing-and-delivery system from Apple that allows customers to sign up for a subscription to a periodical and have the publication delivered to their iPad each time a new issue is published." From your linked article, "The Daily [app] is free to download, but its future will depend on your 14 cents per day" That is, you only get the "paper" if your pay the subscription... it is subscription-only.
There's nothing about subscription-only that precludes ads, and we have no reason to think for a moment that it will be ad-free. However, unlike a "real" newspaper, only the subscribers will get it. There won't be ad-hoc newsstand sales, casual readers in cafes, offices, libraries etc., or indeed any iPad-free zone to boost the readership figures that publishers use to entice advertisers. They only get to count people who have parted with their cash in advance and will have a harder time reeling in advert money. Don't get me wrong though, they will reel in the advertisers, probably with loss-leader offerings to existing advertising customers.
Established media certainly make money out of advertising. However, with a subscription only service such as this the business can only make money if they have subscriber numbers they can point to. No advertiser is going to fork out big dollars/pounds/shekels to reach an audience of 100 in a general newspaper with restricted access. Murdoch has a classic chicken and egg problem that he is addressing by throwing start up money at it. Boards will only do that for a short time... they only have a short time anyway because there are many snakes about looking to eat these particular eggs.
The fraud is using that collated information falsely imply that you and Gotham Dating Partners have a business relationship in order to extract money from some other person. Gotham Dating Partners cannot deliver on any promise to provide an introduction based on that profile.
The headstone devices cannot be allowed for two reasons:
There is simply no way for the Australian Government to censor the material being transmitted across the evil Internet thingy.
There is some difficulty for the RIAA/MPAA attempting to sue for royalties. This is, of course, a far lesser problem because the RIAA/MPAA have fewer qualms about pursuing the dead for "what's rightfully owed." Such action would have to be for the life of the headstone in advance (copyright terms will soon be longer than that anyway).
We used to remove all writeable removable storage devices from machine and their corresponding drivers from the operating system. We found that two-part epoxy was an expedient method of disabling physical USB, firewire, and unused network interfaces. Ultimately this was only a precaution because the machines concerned spent their entire life inside a PC-sized safe bolted to a desk, with only the necessary network, keyboard, mouse, and video cables exiting.
I am sceptical of the real effect of this change if it comes to pass. What I think is happening is that the establishment of an R18+ category will allow games that currently squeeze into the M15 category to be reclassified into R18+ after adjusting the triggers for various classification levels. Anything that is currently refused classification because it will not fit the current M15 category will continue to be refused classification under revised rules. The politicians get to claim "we listened to the people", the anti- lobby get to claim they are protecting the children, the game manufacturers get to waste the same effort sanitising their games, and ultimately nothing new hits the shelves.
If they can get this practice federally labeled legal they stand to add billions to their bottom line for relatively no extra work.
They will be trying to get this globally "accepted". However, it strikes me that the company bottom line is only half the story. Every "extra" dollar that is conjured into being from charging doubly (or triply) for intangibles (bits on a wire, copyright licencing, patent licencing) is an extra dollar on some treasury department's economic "growth" figures. Every incumbent government will happily accept a better looking set of figures.

Question 11. A network protocol that requires a terminator? A protocol is a set of rules governing data interchange not an electrical circuit.
Most walls permit anonymous spray painting: are you contending that graffiti vandalism is not against laws in most jurisdictions?
While I agree that actively soliciting contributions is slightly different to the usual wall-owner's approach it still does not constitute an invitation from Wikipedia to be destructive.
Now we have the perfect gift giving services for Facebook "friends" to give "gifts" to each other. After all, you cannot chose the perfect gift for a "friend" that you have never met, and your attention span doesn't stretch to reading the recipient's wish list (or you don't actually have their email address to look it up) or buying a gift voucher. Now you can just pick an item at random and let Amazon "personalise" the item for you. End result? Unchanged, except that Amazon can screw their "friends" for royalties.
ACTA Sweetner(TM) guaranteed no calories and no teeth.
Cameron says, "So I can announce today that we are reviewing our IP laws, to see if we can make them fit for the internet age." However, he fails to mention that they are already "reviewing" the UK copyright laws under the veil of ACTA and in secret. This is just a bit of fluff to remove some heat from what is already a done deal.
You cannot attach a royalty payment to ASCII so clearly, in this enlightened age when even implementing public APIs risks copyright litigation, we need to move away from this dangerously socialist encoding. We need a new encoding so that the relevant "owners" of the "intellectual property" embodied in the computer language can bill appropriately for your level of use of their "artistic endeavours". Each ideogram should contain encoded information on the rights owner so that corporate publisher birth-rights can be honoured in perpetuity on a per-instance basis. Of course, such encoding should be preserved through compilation to enable the collection of royalty payments for each end-use of the system also. After all, it's only fair.
They just want to change everything all the fucking time until all the users flock to something less flashy and more productive, and then the KDE devs will be free to play Starcraft all day long.
So why haven't you moved to something less flashy and more productive? I certainly have and I suspect a large number of others have too. The straws that broke this camel's back were the ridiculous weight of the "semantic desktop" and the seemingly endless supply of visual fluff that adds nothing to utility.
If they provided the source to the entire program (including anything they linked to the app to enforce their DRM if such a s thing exists) then I guess they would comply. They are probably also denying the downstream user the right to further distribution, which is also a requirement of the GPL v2 Section 6.
The directive defines 'data' to be collected as 'traffic data and location data and the related data necessary to identify the subscriber or user.'"
All that is required is record the fact that IP xyz contacted IP abc using protocol def, that IP xyz belonged to ISP subscriber vikisonline at the time, and that vikisonline is at this physical address. No need to break encryption. If the other end, IP abc, is in Australia then they will also be required to record that IP xyz connected and that this connection authenticated to account viksionline. This is a traffic analysis mother lode. With both ends of this conversation they now can derive the fact that ISP user vikisonline has account Y at service X and daisy-chain to other services. Then they can gain a warrant to force each service actually eavesdrop on everything you do online because they can actually identify it all.
They far more regularly use just the threat of litigation because they know full well that:
The first of rule of running a business is to "Stay in business". You are no good to anyone (customers for small business) if you are insolvent.
For the little guy just engaging legal representation will consume a profit margin for the year or more and that's before it gets to court and the delaying tactics start.
Which should not be. Let's suppose the Polish government goes slightly mad, and raises the Polish VAT to 50%. How is the French person supposed to protest that?
By voting with her wallet. If you choose to buy in Poland then you pay the Polish taxes owing (indirectly in the case).
So I'd say you're wrong: the United States' nuclear arsenal is deterring anyone else from building anything similar: the barrier to entry is too high. I don't see that as a bad thing.
The "barrier to entry", as you put it, to building a US-sized nuclear arsenal would exist even if the US had no missiles. Nukes are expensive - end of story. The real question is, if the US had no missiles would the incentive to try to build a US-sized nuclear arsenal, or even a fractional one, still exist?
I am reasonably sure that the injunction requires that the injunction document itself be published. I'm not sure because reading what would have to qualify as the world's shittiest scan of a facsimile of a document would do irreparable damage to my eyesight.

Tell me.. Have you ever bought a loaf of bread?
Have you ever tried to run an Android App on your loaf of bread: it won't go. Thereby proving that variety is bad mmmkay ;)
Your local library card index just became a massive piracy enterprise. Best shut down libraries because they are collapsing the economy.

A secretive research program at a nuclear facility is neither a court of law nor a public debate. The statements both valid.
