Wait, I thought it was life of author + 70 years, or 120 years after creation/95 years after publication for work-for-hire works, which means, that the copyright duration could actually be much longer than 95 years. For example, strictly hypothetical, if some teen at 15 makes a spectacular song, and then lived to be 100, that would mean that the non-work-for-hire work would be under copyright for 85 + 70, or 155 years.
Why? Liking, subscribing, and sharing is an integral part of spreading YouTube videos, and one that is free to boot. Sure, it can be done obnoxiously, but you don't need to burn down the entire home to deal with a sasp's nest.
There are people who act like that is the only way it happens, though, which is a dangerously false assertion - malvertising, for instance, and other web based attacks can do this with little to no interaction on the part of the user who gets infected besides going to a website that should be trustworthy.
Disregard for the rules yes, but I fail to see how that enables - morally - sound grounding for potential abuse of the DMCA unless it can be demonstrated that the actions actually do violate the DMCA, of course.
So far, I have yet to see the problem I had in the previous version, where FF would end up taking up almost 1.5 - 2GB of RAM - with only a couple of tabs open, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye on FF as I use it to see if I noticed any oddities.
Indeed - not bloated to hell, has a good amount of features, easy to use, though unlike MS Paint, you can actually customize it with plugins, if I recall (been a while)
Twitter is a private service and can remove users for violating their terms of services
That wasn't his point - if they claim specific reasons, they DO have to be careful, as libel could be a concern depending on the accusation, and proof/lack thereof.
the latter knows a lot more random academic CS stuff that, in practice, is applied very little in day-to-day professional work.
IMO, learning about things like computer architecture, operating system design / concepts, data structures, algorithms, might not seem like it - but, can be very relevant. Just because YOU don't work in a field that needs some of that knowledge, doesn't mean that those areas don't exist. That's preposterous.
Disliking a trend =/= crying. Besides, storage may be cheap, but resource use should still be reasonable, and controlled when able - whether it be disk space, RAM, etc.
So... what you're saying is that, at least part of the problem, is the attitude surrounding handling people who decide to out doings in their former employees, and partly how people go about handling having that sort of information?
Because the people saying one most likely weren't saying the other... since communjties are made up of people with different opinions. 3rd A.C I've seen in this thread who smugly makes this idiotic "contradiction" point.
Tell me, how do they intercept the data, figure out what it is - and how they get around disguising the data in so far as possibly stripping out any headers identifying file types, and the like for instance (without which, would seemingly just appear as a string of 1s and 0s).
Therein lies a lingering, legitimate concern: How many of the secondhand cards entering the market come from people who actually do that, know what they are doing, and how many come from the foolish, who overclock and the like? How do you know, without hoping they put that information in the product description when selling?
Unauthorized encryption can be trivially blocked by your ISP.
- considering that bit patterns can represent all sorts of things, from words, to images, to numeric data of various types of which requires software that interprets specific bit fields as said pieces of data, how do you actually do this efficiently, and without false positives?
I guess that is what I was thinking of when I talked about limited unsigned support in Java - it would be nice though if we could have unsigned bytes too, though.
For non-eBay stuff, I just used a spare Google Blogspot/Blogger account to host my images, and never had issues, but somehow I can't picture that working so well for sites like eBay.
I mean unsigned - as in, a value that can only be positive, versuses a signed value, which can be positive or negative. For example, an unsigned byte can have values from 0 to 255, whereas a signed byte value goes from -128 to +127
Apparently that has been done a bit, but I personally would love to see full support, proper support, for unsigned values in data types if it hasn't been done already.
Weird Al gets permission though.
Sure, he could rely on fair use, but I presume he doesn't want to spend all his time in court defending his rights.
Right for the wrong reason I think. He gets permission out of respect, and not wanting to burn bridges with artists - he has said many times that legally he does not need it, and would be fully in the clear if he didn't ask, but also has a moral compass that includes trying to make bonds with the people whose works he parodies.

At some point, don't know where that is myself, one needs to look at programming practices as well, and not just the languages being used.
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about, A.C.
American copyrights now stretch for 95 years.

As usual, don't install random crap on your computer, whatever OS you might be using. Basic computer security 101.
Computer security 102, however, is "only people who click bad links, or download unknown attachments gets a virus" is a myth.
Runs fine on my end, though I'd imagine that there are aspects of Unity that would add at least a little overhead to the mix.

Wat's wrong with the 757? Those RB-211s allow the aircraft to make mincemeat out of short runways. :D

It's like MS coders flunked a class on basic computer operating system design concepts. Jesus Christ, no wonder the OS is locking up so much/badly.
