I've done this as well. The latency is a pain ( sometimes as high as 2.5 seconds ), but the thouroughput is nice. I've pulled 144KBps, with compression.
I did the bandwidth test over at bandwidthplace, they refused to give me results, saying it was too fast for a cellular modem. I finally had to tell it was WIFI, and they tested me at 125KBps. Not too bad.
One of the problems with hydrogen cars is the availability of hydrogen stations. The easier it is to generate hydrogen, the more likely adoption will be.
Also, this is expensive enough that consumers won't have their own; as such, a company (shell, or whatever) can sell to stations in cells, or tanks. This can be taxed, regulated, and still allow the energy companies to stay in business. Not that it's perhaps the best thing, but it's less likely to have the government fearing loss of tax money, or energy companies trying to shoot it down.
Title 17, Section 117 of the US Code. The relevant part is (a)(1). It is not infringement to make copies necessary to run the program. You don't need a license at all to run a program.
The GPL does not cover output, only distribution of derivitive works.
A license restricting the output in this way would be like the MS Office EULA trying to control who you sent word documents to.
Also, a very fundamental problem: The GPL is a copyright license, therefore it cannot be violated by the copyright holder, as the holder needs no license.
When you make a derivitive work, you are distributing works which others hold copyright to. In order for the GPL to apply to output, the output would have to be covered under copyright from someone else. This would be like Microsoft trying to claim that they hold copyright for all documents created in Word.
That would be very stupid if it were allowed to happen.
There are a number of things where a 150% profit margin is perfectly normal and reasonable, especially for smaller items.
Furthermore, it does cost a fair amount to actually make the movie. I write software. Suppose it costs me $20 for manufacturing and distributing, and I get $30 in pocket. That's a 50% profit margin! Oh wait, no, I still had to spend thousands of hours making it.
Besides, who are you to decide when someone else is making too much money?
That's not entirely accurate. They may demand to search your person or backpack, but you may refuse. Your parents can consent to a backpack search.
If there is a really good reason to search you, they can call the cops, who call a judge, and try to convince him there is probable cause for a search warrant.
(Had it happen to me. I didn't have what they were looking for - I just didn't want to be searched.)
"That's like clicking "Yes - Check to see if my software is legal" on the M$ site when you're running a pirated copy."
I've tried it. They didn't catch me.
Also, I doubt that they would like the bad publicity of banning people who paid money for the game, and money for the service. It's meijer who is breaking contract, not the end-user.
If there is a "no-smoking" sign outside, it's probably near a door, or pedestrian thouroughfare.
Guess what, some people have serious physical issues with smoking. In my case, it's not technically an "allergy", but rather an "irritant". All it takes is a rather small of amount of cigarette smoke, and my eyes water, I get a very large headache, and I have difficulty breathing.
Do you get annoyed when someone comes along blaring loud music? The effects last only a short period of time. Exposure to smoke causes me pain for hours. The fact it's "blown away" doesn't change the fact that it's still there. Smoking outside the front door of a building means I have to walk through your smoke cloud to leave.
If you are at least 20 feet from where pedestrians walk, it's stupid. However, the signs I see tend to be right outside buildings, and near walkways. You should be free to smoke; however, I should be free to breathe. Your habit does not give you the right to make me miserable.
I certainly try to be polite, and I am a non-smoker.
If you ask me if I mind, the answer will always be "yes, I do".
I am highly sensitive to cigarette smoke (and some perfumes) - even a small amount gives me a massive headache, and makes it hard for me to breathe.
I, quite frankly, am sick of people smoking right outside the front doors of stores, waiting in line, or walking down the sidewalk in a strip mall. Why should I have to suffer for your habits?
Do you think it's rude when others blare their music really loudly, right next to you? At least the effects of that only last while you can hear them. At least they don't make it difficult for you to breathe, or expose you to harmful chemicals.
So yes, I do mind. Do it in your own house, your own car, and away from where pedestrians walk, and I don't care. I'm opposed to the war on drugs. Leave me alone, and I will leave you alone.
I think they use AltNet (Kazaa) to do their dirty work.
In that case, the data simply means mp3 trading is going off Kazaa. Given all the fake/corrupted files, I believe it.

It's not that they can't profit from it - it's just that software is an unusual market, and they will have to act accordingly.
Perhaps they can make money selling implementations of the software. Perhaps they make it by selling closed-source versions to companies who don't want to GPL their products.

However, the insurance companies are the ones who pay for it, and it's far cheaper to cure you than to treat you.
They certainly have their own interests in mind.
Maybe it's just you

Bzzt. Try again.

You wouldn't use foo_bar@gmail.com, it would be foo+bar@gmail.com, which works fine, and goes to you.
There's a legitimate use for you right there.

Wrong. There are plenty of cases where the use of alternate from address is perfectly fine.
Tagged addresses (anti-spam or other purposes)
you+keyword@yourdomain.com
Mailing lists
Relaying (Sending email from you@work.com from home)
The SMTP protocol lets you specify the from address; any server which does not is broken.
The "hash" includes a timestamp, the from address, and a serial number. The serial # can only be used once.
It's a non-issue.

I set up a machine in VMWare, installed using a key from the MSKey 4in1 VLK, product range 640-500 to 640-600.
It validates fine.
I have MSDN universal, so I'm fine, but it seems that the "is it valid" thing should actually detect invalid copies.
