And people on Freenet do not swap material which is under copyright?
By continuously exchanging copyrighted material via the internet, copyright law will not end. If we ant to get rid of copyright law, we should petition the goverments, protest (with your money by not spending it on the apparently for you, or in your opinion, to expensive materials), start a political party against copyrights, etc.. Freenet is just another P2P application, and since people have nothing to share except other peoples material, it will be used to do just that.
Donating to Freenet will not solve anything, it will just cause new lawsuits. So stop complaining about these rulings, it is not your freedom they are ruling about. It is the criminal behaviour they are ruling about. If you walk into a store and steal anything, you get arrested (some call this bad luck!), and you will get some punishments. What is different here? It is not your digital right to exchange copyrighted material at all.
Hydrogen just got a bad name because of the Hindenburg. The new ways of storing it in a metal hydrate and other ways of storing it, makes it a lot easier to handle. One could argue that it is certainly not more dangerous than LPG/Methane being used as fuel for cars.
The lighter than air which you mention, helps in getting rid of it, and it will only explode in the correct Oxygen/Hydrogen mixture (1:2), if it is not in that mixture, a compressed hydrogen storage might explode because of pressure, than catch flame just to burn off.
You are correct all the way. Point 2 with me though was with minimum change to the car: Run the car on the start engine only.
Companies however do not want this change, because a large change like this really threatens there huge market positions with $billions profit which can be lost to a new party in the market.
Hydrogen conversion: Yes, really stupid discussion going on there: Some people decided to burn coal to produce hydrogen. WHY???????????? (Ok, money)
Darn, you are right. Well, maybe the natural burning surface brown coal fires in the north of china will keep the effect up. And we are still burning down the rain forests, so the CO2 level will not go down really fast.
The current fuels are very portable compared to electricity, so to get it in your fuel tank, there are several options:
1. Compressed air. Risk: Fuel tank not able to take it, explodes.
2. Install batteries and run on start engine: Risk: Does not go fast enough (1 MPH).
3. Hydrogen conversion: Risk: Expensive (The prices are high, you are more willing to try this), weight of the systems is pretty high, pretty explosive
4. Filter CO2 out of air with sun based system to let algea convert it to sugar, or directly to alcohol, convert car to run on alcohol: Risk: Alcoholics drink at gasstation until they can not drive anymore, causing huge traffic jams.
5. New ways to filter CO2 out of atmosphere, use the wind/solar generated power to split CO2 into Carbon and O2, convert carbon into hydro carbon useable as fuel.
Ok, they are ideas, most need conversion of the current systems, but you have to start one day, and just to delay that again and ruin just a bit more environment, is not the best idea. I think idea 4 and 5 have the most prospective. Idea 4 with plants instead of algea already delivers bio diesel.
What is meant by that anyway? The goal of a document is to document. Since about version 2 of every document application, it has been able to do that (OpenOffice is not at version 2, but at version 8 if you count StarOffice releases). So if you take a program from the seventies (nice frontend: textmode!) it will also do the trick.
Now looking at modern document formatting applications like MS Word, OpenOffice, Word Perfect and many great others, what does MS Word offer which is so much more functional in document format, so not in general functionality, but just document format?
This is one for Ask/. when Bill Gates or another MS friend drops by again.
To make re-useable energy sources more and more attractive, we find a way to just heat this planet just a bit more.
Just place solar energy/wind energy systems on these shale places instead. It will yield more than oil in the long run (Break even point wind power: 6 years at current US energy prices).
Does anybody have a link to the document yet, since $1.6 per page of bs is a bit too much. What they did is essentially take all or part of the other standards which are around right now, make a crosssection and dump it in a new document. Sort of standard history or literature thesis writing, no real research, nothing new to tell, just a new cover and 2 weeks at the typewriter.
Does a library sign an agreement on the terms and conditions it borrows the books on to the borrower? I am not sure, but I think a library has different rules set in copyright law to be able to work. This since a standard copyright/DRM notice rules out borrowing the work to others. Or does a library pay a seperate license?
Questions, questions...
But, yes, the goods you borrow will fall under copyright law. A library can not distribute books just to let people keep them, but maybe a library of the future can. It will get interesting for sure.
That means that Zapmedia can sell this as a nice linux application? A real professional player would be welcome, and if the price is not to high, closed source is acceptable. (SOMEBODY IS GOING TO KILL ME FOR THESE REMARKS)
My set was OS/2 Warp, so from 1995, not very usefull to anybody anymore. The stamps to send it would have cost more than the CDs.
2004 last release, not bad, just so much under the radar.
That is why I did not mention to make it opensource. It is clear that that would break the whole scheme: Access to the decoded data in binary format= recode as unDRMed
My wife even changed from windows to linux and then to Mac (she just loved the powerbook, unstoppable design forces at work at Apple). People can change, and sometimes do change, but there is some show and tell needed.
You know, I consider myself knowledgeable with computers. I run multiple OSs at home and have run many more over the course of my life. You know how many times I've edited the system registry since its inception? Less than 5. I really doubt that anyone *needs* to edit their registry ever.
Everytime I use a windows system which is not mine, I find myself editing the registry just to disable some spyware,virusses and useless programs to control things which need not be controlled. I just start wondering how much hidden problems you have in your registry, or you just have the best anti-spyware/anti-virus software combination running which is available right now.
If you stay within the standard program set with both windows and linux, you will probably notice that neither of them needs extra help to install or run those. If you go out of that set, both windows and linux need help in configuration file editting. Windows is with registry and the severe lack of logfiles certainly not easier for a user then linux is. The user will just try to ofload his problem onto a person with more skills (nerd?)
It just takes to long to install and find all the drivers.
Oh no, on major linux releases they are already included and you do not have to search for it, or change CDs ten time like with MS windows. At least with MS windows, w95 compatible drivers for your network card come along on a supplier CD.
And the RIAA&friends will never get it back in. Sue eDonkey, and there will be a next nextwork which will be used more. Anyway: To much work to sue everybody anyway, but it keeps them busy, in view, and gets their budget will get bigger to do their work (ie: Sueing)
Quote: The companies have declined to confirm or deny the report, which would fit Apple's past pattern of being secretive to maximise the splash on announcement day.

Applying a patent for a sponge just doesn't sound good enough. And hey, maybe later they can extend the explanation of the patent to include the standard sponges used to wash your windows. You pay MIT every time you buy a sponge!
Yes, MPlayer is aware of that, but they will keep doing this untill MS does something about it. I do not think that MS wants to do something about this right now since that would show their power over the market again (sig: MS is a convicted monopolist)
Serious, it adds to the experience, it lets the user know the device inside out, it sharpens the learning curve. Our users love this feature! Our sales will increase, we will beat the not so flexible multimedia devices out there with this feature.
You are correct, besides the market leader in hype, linux, there are more platforms: You can implement it in Java to get it running on all platforms.
Running on OS/2 is I think a bit too much though, that platform is really dead. I even threw away my installation CDs, no use for it anymore at all. How long since the last release? 7 years now?

I will not keep the document, I will not even remember it, I will just glance at it.
Or everything you can eat before checkout in a supermarket is free, however in a restaurant the rules are different again.

Buy an DRM-WMA enabled car stereo system. The bad part I guess will be that once your book expires, your car will stop too (-:
Motor helmet screens come with this kind of anti-fog layer for several years already, see for example: http://www.bellmotorsports.com/helacc.shtml or http://ecom1.sno-ski.net/goggles.html for fog free goggles. So did MIT do their background research before starting this patents application?
