... "Heaven knows I'm miserable @#%^H!*( NO CARRIER
Shit, are people still listening to The Smiths in the future?
I'm afraid, Very afraid.
I am listening to my portable music playing device while I read this.
As soon as I got to this part of the thread, who should come out of the earphones but The Smiths singing Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now.
Contracts not only require consent, they require considerations from both sides. If I write on a piece of paper that I give you my television and sign it, alone, that will never hold up in court. I must exchange the television for something.
If you give me your television, and a piece of paper saying that "I give you my television" then legally, you have given me your television - no doubt about it. Not many courts in any jurisdiction would say, "No, you didn't really give him your television".
You do not need a consideration to give someone a gift. Unless, of course, you are no fun at birthdays, Christmas and other similar times.
If you publish something under the GPL, then it was your intention to let me use it. Giving away rights (including ownership or a licence to use something) requires intent, not consideration.
The simple solution is simply not to consume what they produce. If nobody buys / downloads / watches what they output, they will go away.
Not true.
If no one is buying their product, they will claim that it is due to the illegal copying of their product - proving that they need more stringent laws.

If that comes in the form of a graduate degree, so be it.

Training is popular in Oz because of the "training guarantee" law enacted by the Hawke govternment a couple of decades ago.
The training guarantee rules went out the window some time ago. There is no longer a tax incentive to provide training for staff.
Just to be pedantic, its not the tax office, its Austrac - the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre http://austrac.gov.au/
You must be new here
Get enough of them together and it will be like watching a Shakespeare play
Actually one word or, acronym to be precise, the DMCA.
As far as I know, the laws applicable in the USA do not apply to the rest of the world...
Yet!
Only if you are born in a hospital. If you are born at home, you can tell the doctor to fuck off when he says he needs to take genetic samples.
And if you can talk very soon after you are born, then your genetic material would be worth studying

I curse the day I married your sister.
No wonder they were skeptical, a 400k cashier's check...
But was it 400,000 Nigerian dollars?
Yeah, keep your nose out of my business!!!
This is Slashdot remember. Since when is it necessary to read anything before having an opinion on it?
And in other countries, it is usual to pay nothing to receive unlimited text messages. We only pay to send them (premium and scam messages excepted).
Isn't that how some of the "starlets" get their jobs in the first place?
I could have sworn that PDF was Portable Document Format. All your other points about it are correct though.
Leading to even more trips to the bathroom, longer waits and more free beer.
You do realise that backup and archiving are two entirely different things, don't you?

You really need to get out more. Just about everyone has them in one shape or form.
