The way I understand it, entrapment is the difference between a policewoman disguised as a prostitute offering herself to curbcrawlers, and them approaching her. If the policewoman, in this case, initiated or incited the criminal act then it would be entrapment. If the accused initiated it without incitement, it's not.
In my opinion, that's still a clear design flaw. If a processor running at its designed speed can damage a laptop due to poor design then it's the manufacturer's fault, not the user's.

Fair point; and now I think back, my post really isn't a safe assumption at all. Comment withdrawn!
It's still interesting to many of us, simply *because* we could probably build one ourselves. Not in spite of it. A lot of what us humans do in life is "because we can". This doesn't appear to be any different.

And if there's anyone who doesn't know which film based on a very long running and highly popular animated TV series the parent was paraphrasing, you're missing out and should find out and go watch it immediately.
DAB is *lower* quality than FM radio. The people responsible split the available spectrum into so many channels that each one is rather low quality. (Or so I understand it; I've naturally not seen firsthand proof, but then who has?)
Yup. Turn yourself in for immediate brain-processing to avoid prosecution! (By turning your brain in for processing, you give us permission to include ad-chips to insert adverts into your dreams, etc etc)
Unfortunately, the laws which are relevant specify what "effective" means. A reasonably accurate paraphrasing would be that an effective measure is one that exists. Not one that works, one that exists.
The technological equivalent of turning a piece of paper the other way round so you have to read it upside down would count as being effective as long as I said it was. It's completely and utterly idiotic, but that's what the laws tend to state in most relevant countries, including the US and the UK.
But someone who appears to be coming from a Wal*Mart IP address, who completely removes the "Criticism" section, and then in a separate edit changes a bit that says something like "Walmart pays its employees X amount less than other similar employers" to stating that they pay at least double... that sort of thing IS vandalism, and it's quite likely it was a paid official action.
As someone else said - if a person who has a reasonably high chance of being an employee of a particular company goes on wikipedia and deletes criticism or that company, or alters facts about that company to look better, or similar, it seems a reasonably safe assessment that they probably are a paid whitewasher.
The changes can be summarised reasonably well by altering your sentence to say "as long as I distribute the code and don't do anything else to stop people using it".
One point: The point of maximum traction is actually the point when the wheels are just starting to slip. That's why the Class 66 (UK), amongst many others round the world, has traction control systems that at the lowest speeds allows the wheels to slip a quarter turn per revolution.
Seems counterintuitive, but it means one single locomotive can accelerate a train from rest - the difficult bit; once you're started it's easy to keep going - that without that technology would have been challenging for two or three.
This isn't at all new. A few friends and I discovered at least one of these independently over a year ago, and we then found it was a known but little publicised situation before that.
I think what it means is that you automatically get a license unless you belong to that group of violators - in which case you're not being prevented from accepting, but instead you're not even being offered it. Small difference, big effect.
I don't think so. The language in that section is quite specific and downloads of that sort are covered elsewhere; as I recall a link like that would not satisfy the specific terms used.

Someone keep an eye on TPB's legal threats page - hopefully we'll have plenty of entertainment!

I'm no lawyer, etc, so I may well be wrong.
This is Windows you're talking about.

It's reasonably safe to assume that your players will each own a PC.
I believe this is standard for people without a logged-in facebook account.

If you need a hint, then the colour yellow might be of use.

Exactly. Turning the paper round so you can read it normally would be against the DMCA, to state my analogy more explicitly.
Unfortunately, the laws which are relevant specify what "effective" means. A reasonably accurate paraphrasing would be that an effective measure is one that exists. Not one that works, one that exists.

No, they don't all have to be.

That library is also completely open.

Why should I not want to run modified software on the hardware I've bought?
Why should someone be able to stop me from doing so?
To date I've not seen any good answer to these questions.

On top of that, the GPL itself specifically states that running the program is outside the license and is always permitted.
I don't think so. The language in that section is quite specific and downloads of that sort are covered elsewhere; as I recall a link like that would not satisfy the specific terms used.
