Nope. The copyright act of 1977 said that that sort of thing doesn't count as "copying." For it to count, a copy must be "embodied in a fixed medium." RAM and video RAM don't count. Loading a program from the hard disk doesn't count as "copying" for the purpose of copyright law, nor would receiving and displaying it over a network, so long as you don't affix the received copy.
This does bring up the sticky issue of the browser cache, of course... If it's on the hard disk, then it is affixed...
We conclude that the magnetic field is the only common and most likely factor responsible for the observed alignment
Really? Cows look North in the Southern hemisphere? If so, then they may have something. If they only looked at Northern Hemisphere cattle, then I'd say that they were merely avoiding Sun glare.
It is a common practice that when a book store buys way too many copies of a book from a publisher, that they can "return" the overstock to the publisher by ripping the covers of the book off and sending just those back, and tossing the rest of the book into the trash.
Some unscrupulous book stores will turn around and sell the coverless books, thus screwing the publisher.
Often times, the wording is less legalistic and states something to the effect of, "if you bought this book without its cover, you should know that this means you bought something that was declared unsold and was supposed to be destroyed. Please contact the publisher so we can go after the numbnut who tried to screw us."
If the band has a contract with the label, then you're not actually buying CDs from the band even if they're on the band's own merch table. In most cases, they had to buy them themselves in order to sell them to you. You'd probably be doing the band a bigger favor buying the CDs from Amazon.
Democrats had this choice this time between two relatively junior senators, but at least one of them shared a bed with a president. Of course, she didn't want to mention that too much because she apparently wasn't good enough at it to keep him from looking elsewhere.
They are usually said to be addicted to the source, not the adrenaline.
Well, then they're not using the word "addicted" properly. You don't get "addicted" to skydiving or base jumping. To say so is to engage in hyperbole, not to use the word correctly.
Prostitutes aren't victims any more than car salesmen are victims. Women who are in an abusive relationship with someone else who are also prostitutes are victims, certainly, but then so are sweat-shop workers in other industries.
Local decriminalization typically means that the cops simply don't go out of their way to uncover and investigate certain crimes, regardless of whether or not they're federal, state or local ordinance violations.
I don't think that word means what you think it does. Addictive implies that if you stop doing it, you experience unpleasant side effects. It does not mean simply that doing it is pleasurable.
No. The IC engine adds weight that you don't need to haul around when you are not taking a trip that exceeds the EV range (which that extra weight reduces as well).

That is the quintessential example of judicial error. I'll be surprised if it doesn't get corrected on appeal.

I guess maybe it WASN'T 'nuf said. Let's try again, without the umlaut. Mobius.

this guy didn't have any trouble installing Vista either.
"There are people out there who refuse to upgrade Vista and instead run XP. I mean, who ARE these people?"
This is less sinister than it sounds.

I keep forgetting, is this the year of Linux on the desktop, cheap solar power or Duke Nukem Forever?
Whoosh!
He probably will, at some point.
What does NYCL, (If he can talk about it) think of a) the terms of the settlement, and b) the fact that it was settled at all?
Why don't you go read for yourself?

and buy a CD directly from the band.

Yeah, they're so "greedy" for wanting to get paid for their music. The nerve!
Depends on who you mean by "they're" and "their."

You say "continues to evolve," I say "flip-flop."

Just for instance, the San Mateo county sheriff's office recently raided a home poker tournament. I guess they weren't interested in prosecuting prostitution.
The effects of the drug are addictive

Pretty much.
