In order to make that into a tryable case, some student might have to be willing to really sacrifice themselves; write nothing but grade-A papers, but refuse to submit them to Turnitin and wait for the teacher/school to fail them in a required course and prevent them from graduating.
I don't think it is terribly 'out of the box' for a kid to do that and see it as a benefit, not a sacrifice.
Presuming, of course, that universities really are looking for free thinkers and people of principle, then such a "sacrifice" should be worth big points on any college application.
It's not fair use if it adversely affects your market, and since your market is students wishing to cheat on their term papers, it's pretty drastic... so there's your damages.
The market need not be plagiarists, it could just as easily be the market for competing plagiarism detection services.
Great way to weasel out of a question there slicky McWannabe.
So far, you are the only one who has actually given any tax advice in this thread, thus the question, as you have framed it, only applies to you.
Instead of forking over tax money & being worried about what it gets spent on, then bitching about your own mistake, why don't you donate that money to causes you're happy with, or better yet start your own cause, then in either scenario, write it off on your taxes at the end of the year
The hardware should check to see if the checksums are right and stuff like that, but that won't keep somebody who wants to break hardware from doing so. There's usually no good way to prevent that; the firmware must be valid for the device to show up on the bus so that you can flash the firmware.
It can be prevented... for the cost of doubling the available flash memory.
Have all new flash images go into a secondary flash buffer where the end result can be validated against a checksum or something fancier like a digital signature. Then, and only then, will the hardware set a bit that says to load from the newly flashed firmware. Bonus for this in that if even those checks fail, you've still got the previous image sitting in flash, not terribly hard to automagically fall back to that if the new one is unbootable.
In income tax calculation, a write-off is the itemized deduction of an item's value from one's taxable income. Thus if a person has a taxable income of $50,000 per year, a $100 telephone for business use would lower the taxable income to $49,900. If that person is in a 25% tax bracket, the tax due would be lowered from $12,500 to $12,475. Thus the net cost of the telephone is $75 instead of $100.
The phrase "writing off" is sometimes used in a way that suggests the item will be free. The value of the item is only deducted from taxable income, not from the tax itself. The term is also loosely used to refer to an item which is intended for personal use but which will be deducted ("written off") as a business expense. Some individuals attempt to amass large numbers of "write-offs" in order to reach a lower tax bracket and increase the effective size of the deductions.
What part of "The value of the item is only deducted from taxable income, not from the tax itself" do you fail to understand?
write it off on your taxes at the end of the year ?
You do not understand how tax write-offs work. They do not reduce your taxes, they reduce your taxable income. Unless you propose that he give away ALL of his income to these "other causes" then he will still end up paying taxes.
The problem is that your volunteers have no way of knowing if something is a copyright violation. Gut feelings and hunches don't cut it.
Which is why the work of the volunteers is only used to flag files that may need further review, not automatically issue takedown notices. If they only give out points for files that really are infringing, then the system will tend to self-correct since there will be no reward for reporting bogus infringements.
Right! Because the linux kernel license prevents all non-GPLv2 software from running on it!
LoL, Yes, IT does to a certain extent.
Then explain away the existence of Oracle on Linux or DB2 on Linux, or any of the hundreds of other prorprietary-licensed software that people run on Linux every day.
oh no! the hordes of expert crackers tailing me will be able to find my FTP password.
If the data you encrypting with gpg is so trivial to you, why are you encrypting it in the first place?
"Furthermore, TrueCrypt cannot prevent the contents of sensitive files that are opened in RAM from being saved unencrypted to a paging file (note that when you open a file stored on a TrueCrypt volume, for example, in a text editor, then the content of the file is stored unencrypted in RAM). "
If no profit can be had from it in 50 years then we will see a lot less made. Despite the bizzare glee that some slashbots find in the thought of a dramatic drop in the creation of works (be they anything,) I think it would be a tragic loss to see creative output go from what it is now to a fraction.
Pay close attention to what the OP said:
What it comes down to is can people rely on patents, trademarks and copyrights for a livelihood.
Note that he said the question is if people can rely on artificial constructs of law for their livelihood, he did not say the question is people could rely on creating new works of art and ideas for their livelihood.
People have been earning livings from creative work for millenia before copyright and will continue to do so once copyright has faded.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are legitimate purposes for transparent volume encryption, and plausible deniability, but aside from the cool factor, I just don't need them.As long as you are OK with your encrypted data leaking out into the clear through your swapfile.
Ahh.. but if the GPLv3 packages place further restrictions on the GPLv2 licensed software it is being included with, you will find 5.316 GNU packages without a kernel to operate on.
Right! Because the linux kernel license prevents all non-GPLv2 software from running on it!
The biggest mistake SCOG has made, and MS is continuing to make from the very begining of targeting Open Source: It's a community the likes of which has never formed before. It's a community without Country borders. A community that chooses to communicate and protect itself the world-wide.
Yes, but you don't want to be in a room when a Halon system goes off - exit immediately or die of oxygen starvation.
I am pretty sure that is incorrect.
I worked with a fire-suppression engineer who claimed to have personally experienced hundreds of halon discharges with little ill effect (he did seem like he might have had too much of the wacky-weed though). According to him, under normal deployment conditions, a halon system will not remove ALL oxygen, just enough to suppress most fires.
There is a big difference between spending actual tax dollars on an industry, tax dollars that can be spent elsewhere and providing monopoly protection to a handful of businesses.
Furthermore, these coupons not only subsidize the broadcasters themselves, but also the hardware manufacturers. So, unless you really want to argue that FCC signal interference testing makes the entire consumer electronics business a regulated monopoly, your argument does not hold much water there.
Does anybody know the term for a "pseudo-lawyer" that's comparable to "quack" being used to describe a fake doctor?

It might not be mush faster than FW-800, but it CANNOT be slower. (as FW just adds an additional layer of complexity, with the drive being sata anyways)
You assume that the SATA protocol has equal or better efficiency than the firewire protocol.
For example, that latency sensitivity of SATA is less than or equal to that of firewire. You might be right, you might be wrong, I don't know. You might make the same assumption about USB, in which case you would definitely be wrong - the longer your USB cable, the slower your external hard disk because USB requires an ACK for every transmit with no windowing, while firewire can have multiple packets "in flight."
So, if your SATA drive has a similar limitation as USB, it is entirely possible that the SATA-to-FW bridge chip that would sit in the external drive case could buffer multiple data packets, taking advantage of the extremely short data-path between the drive and the bridge to produce a higher throughput over a long firewire cable than could be achieved over SATA cable of equal length.

The shared nature of the PCI bus was also an extremely frustrating limitation.
Shared PCI was purely an implementation detail. There are many systems out there where each PCI slot is its own private PCI bus. PC's tended to use shared PCI buses because it was cheaper to implement, and most cards did not need the full bandwidth just for themselves so for the general case it was a win.
I often order sandwiches/burgers and then ask them to add on veggies that don't normally come on that particular sandwich (like "add pickels" to a ham & swiss from wendys). I made the effort to learn the lingo for each franchaise, so instead of saying "include pickels" or "please put pickles on it too" I explicitly say "add pickles" and that is the exact wording that shows up on the register display and even the printed receipt.
So, even with that level of effort, about 20% of the time "add" gets mentally translated to "only" - so I'll get a burger with only lettuce or that ham and swiss with only pickels, no tomato, no lettuce, etc.

Much higher compression ratio than even Ogg Vorbis! Too bad the decoder is so expensive.

Isn't this how halon systems work? It binds with the oxygen to make some other chemical and thus reduces the amount available for combustion?
