    Give a pretty clear cut list of five specific conditions in which you may use a work without permission (aka without giving them money or asking them for usage rights.)

    Read this and see why you're not correct.

    The specific compilation of such is copyrightable.

  4. 3d webcam on iFixit Tears Down Microsoft's Kinect For Xbox 360 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If Microsoft whips out the ability to use this as a 3D webcam with my PC, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Screw the 360, I want this for my computer.

    "If you illegally download a copyrighted work then it must have value to you; otherwise why bother spending the time and risk to obtain the work?"

    Because I need a certain snippet out of the song to use according to fair use, unfortunately it is halfway through the song and thus it is practically impossible to obtain the clip I'd like to use since the demos available typically only play the first 15-30 seconds of the song.

    I live in California as well. I have my voting card, I most certainly have my passport. I have not been on probation for about... oh three years now. Maybe that has something to do with it, but my status as a felon still stands, my record has not been expunged.

    Having someone that works in LAW ENFORCEMENT != having someone working as a LAWYER, and I have spoken with many of those.

    Mind telling me where I can get a one-way ticket from LAX to DFW for $79 nowdays?

    Didn't think so.

    I'm a felon, I travel the globe. I vote. I am not allowed to own a gun even though my crime involved no weapon or violence (Conspiracy to Witness.)

    Your argument is mostly invalid.

    "in general if a house is using 100GB a month your probably downloading torrents alot."

    Steam, WoW, Any overly-complicated Flash site, Youtube, botnets, etc. I can think of an easy couple of hundred ways a typical household would chew through 500GB in a month.

    Plenty of ways a typical household can use WAY more than 100GB a month. The only way to NOT use that much is to physically restrict the speed to a maximum throughput that will not allow that to happen.

    No, it's high time YOU stepped up and put these people in their place, because it's quite obvious the Canadian government isn't going to do jack shit, and you need to grow some backbone.

    "past 100GB and your not being to legit on what your downloading."

    I can dump 1TB halfway through a month with a Camfrog server. That's just live streaming video chat ALONE, let me not get into my seeding linux distros, uploading tons of research data and photographs, plus receiving similar amounts that I sent out back from two other sources (about 250GB monthly,) Not including Skype calls, skype video chats, various free wallpaper sites, GrooveShark, etc.

    Still using content-limited AOL, are we?

  13. Re:Whats the catch? on Cheap Metal-Insulator-Metal (MiM) Diode Created · · Score: 1

    It's like a light emitting diode of sorts, but instead of emitting light it permits unidirectional travel of power.

    With use, most anything degrades. How fast depends on the amount of power you're pushing through.
