You know. There has to be something in DSM IV to describe the sort of neurological malfunction that can lead someone to watch, let alone like those fucking awful movies.
Data: Geordi, in my experiments to become more like a human, I seem to have lodged Captain Picard up my positronic rectum
Geordi: Wow, Data, I mean, um.... Maybe I don't want to know. But I tell you what, we'll set up a tachyon burst through the deflector array and that should cause your mechanical sphincter to open. If we're lucky, it will also fry his brain so he won't remember you stuffing him in there.
Are you kidding? In the 1950s they were stealing artists blind? Even in the 1960s a lot of artists ended up with what mounted to pennies per unit sold. If you got to be really big you certainly could negotiate much better contracts, but for ever Ray Charles out there negotiating kick ass deals with high royalties and ownership of the masters and full control of the publishing rights, there were a dozen Bo Diddleys basically being robbed blind.
They represent a dying industry. You almost have to feel sorry for them. They've known since Napster burst on the scene (and had no lack of hints prior to that) that their distribution and business models were going to die, but at best their efforts to adapt have been half-assed. All that money spent on lawyers and greasing politicians' palms could have been put to better use.
Oh well, good riddance. They can join all the other defunct industries out there.
It's a strange complaint seeing as how even with Windows, to install a new print driver, you have to have admin permissions or know the user id and password of a user with admin permissions. You can add all the printers you like providing the driver is installed, and it's no different for Linux distros.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought the reboot was just fucking awful. Not only were the special effects awful but I vote for Eric Bana to be the worst ST villain ever. Even the fat dude from Trouble With Tribbles beat Bana's villain hands down. And it was just shocking to see Nimoy, who looked more like animated corpse, gibbering on with some of the worst technobabble ever seen in a ST script.
For some of us it's the simple reality that our data is out of our hands. Yes, we can encrypt, and that offers some security, but you're still left with the fact that you're going to need some sort of third site backup to truly make sure your data can survive a catastrophe (including the cloud provider being raided, its/your servers ending up in an evidence room for an indeterminate amount of time) that could destroy or make inaccessible critical business data.
I think there's a place for it, but in the type of business I'm in, where contractual and legislative obligations on securing of confidential data is quite stringent, the cloud just doesn't offer what we want. Data out of our custody is data out of our control.
The idea that lawyers are the best judges of anything other than the intentionally complex navel gazing industry they themselves created is what I find the worst aspect of this. They have basically become the high priests of the law.
It's a scientific study. You attack it on its merits or lack thereof. A legal challenge to the publication of scientific is a direct attack on science.
And principles are for chumps, and limits on government power,pah! those Founding Fathers was a bunch of commie queers! If you're not taking it up the rear every hour of every day as a card carrying member of the Cult of Authoritarianism, then your a Leftist fag!
Then this raises the issue is to whether there is an original creative element to bird song to copyright. I can't quite figure out how you could copyright birdsong any more than you could copyright an audible variant of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation or the sound of deep sea volcanic vents.
Yup, I was bullied too. I'll wager a fair proportion of us were. There have been a number of examples over the last few years in North America of bullying leading to suicide. I've seen others who weren't just bullied, but were subject to campaigns of abuse and violence, and all the while school administrators turned away and let it happen.

You mean, as in:

Geordi: Wow, Data, I mean, um.... Maybe I don't want to know. But I tell you what, we'll set up a tachyon burst through the deflector array and that should cause your mechanical sphincter to open. If we're lucky, it will also fry his brain so he won't remember you stuffing him in there.

No porn. 'nuff said.

Exactly. How else do you think Hitler came to run China?

Well, of course, apart from the fact that it would smashed neighboring frequencies and would probably have never worked properly, of course.

DS9 wasn't exactly the greatest iteration of ST, but Voyager was a steaming shit abortion that's only merit was that it wasn't Enterprise.
Yet another reason that there should have been a permanent restraining order keeping Roddenberry no closer than twenty feet from a memo pad.
My Mexican jumping bean died, and it's ALL NEWT'S FAULT! I'm filing papers and suing him 20 quadrillion dollars!!!
It's one candidate and a bunch of unelectable lunatics.
SCO sued with a bunch of printouts and a complete inability to point out the offending code.

So it's a pointless law.
Interesting questions, and they raise the point. If anyone is to copyright birdsong, I'd say it could only be the birds themselves.
I'd gladly make you such a record, but then I'd probably be sued by someone who has a copyright on all audible representations of the CMBR.

It probably means they hate queers too, and think this guy's actions were just a-okay.
