This is an intimidation tactic. Your rights will still remain in better shape if you remain silent. It is so easy for a professional interviewer to get you to say things which will incriminate you, even if you are innocent. These people get information out of other people for a living. Unless you are trained in interrogation techniques your safest option is to remain silent.
Actually, that's any police force including cops in the US. NEVER volunteer information to the police. It can NEVER do you any good, regardless of how innocent you are..
There is no such thing as evolutionary design. Evolution is a natural process that happens over time, guided in its process by the indeterminable events and environments that it may encounter. Evolution is the end result of all of the minor adaptions that have happened over time.
Out of interest, I was technology evaluation on a beta version of MS Word in 1998 or 1999, for our company, that had a pure XML document format already which I was pretty exited about.
Well, I suppose we are really talking semantics here - I mean am I uploading an MP3 to you, or are you downloading it from me. As far as I can determine, the downloader initiates the transaction.
Also in the context fair use, is this form of distribution really a legal violation, or even unethical? This is simply an altruistic act by a fellow human being that does not violating anyone's rights? Technically it is distribution, but it is by no means piracy, which is what the real issue is here.
I understand the logic that you are presenting, and the specifics of the case as you have described them.
The point that I am attempting to make is that as the owner of the CD, the onus is upon me to assert my right to fair use. Making MP3's available (if I own the CD) to other owners to download, should also be construed as fair use, which in turn presents a case where making downloads available via P2P could be construed as fair use in certain circumstances.
Yes the copyright on Academic works should be abolished, and so should patents so that we don't waste our valuable scientific minds on re-inventing the proverbial wheel. I know that patents also have led to ingenious alternative solutions, but we are wasting our finite resources on protecting and defending these preposterous human constructs.
Mod the parent up.
If I have bought a CD, and want to listen to the music digitally in MP3 format, it is fair use for me to do this, and consequently it is fair use for me to download the MP3 version of the CD. If I don't have the MP3's already, it can then be construed that it is fair use for me to download the MP3's from another source. Since the record companies do not provide me this facility in terms of my fair use, it is fair that I can download them from another source. In this framework, making MP3's available for download can be construed as fair use.
I would have recommended 10 grams of C4 explosives linked to a USB deactivation key for ultimate satisfaction, but you might have a few problems at airports....
It is pretty common in corporate IT departments policy to not even consider upgrading Windows until at least the first service pack has been released. No good IT manager will riskt the potential fallout of installing an untested OS on a large scale. Early adopters are generally the adventurous or the ignorant.
There is a group who found a way to easily restore that ageing yellow plastic. I think the use hydrogen peroxide. I'm too lazy to Google it right now, but if you are interested in a full resotration this is possible.
There is a possibility that they might be a competitive supplier to a company that has offered financial support to a senator/s for a lucrative tender, and that this is a mechanism to remove them from being able to tender. Of course, I may be totally off the mark, but following the money, this does seem possible.
I agree with the parent. I have at least half a dozen games sitting unfinished on my shelf because my enthusiasm exceeds my ability.
I've actually got to the point where I don't really want to buy new games because I hardly get to finish them
Admittedly I'm obviously a bit retarded when it comes to gaming abilities, but not being able to finish games has curbed my enthusiasm, and definite potential future purchases. So I am also glad that they are doing something about this.
While I agree with the sentiment of the parent, there is no place in our solar system that can sustain our type of life form as well as earth. Instead of fantasizing about living elsewhere, we should be answering the bigger questions, and solving the bigger problems to ensure that earth continues to remain habitable for us.

This pretty much clears everything up. Sorry guys. there is so much FUD out there - even on vendor sites. My apologies to Mark Shuttleworth too.
I'm not specifically talking about Rutan - I am talking about the industry as a whole. I agree that Bigelow has done some pretty impressive stuff. I particularly like his concept of inflatable spaceships/space platforms. Maybe realistically re-usable orbital ships are still 20 years away? Who really knows. The point is however that unless these companies actually do, we won't actually progress.
Yeah I watched it a while ago too. The content is still relevant and that doesn't change the fact that these are the guys that are shaping commercial space flight.
In terms of the intellectual capital of the country, I would say none. Votes would probably need to be public as well to keep everything transparent.
But on the personal front, we have a right to privacy, and that needs to be maintained/re-instated and respected.
The main reason for this approach is we currently use this ludicrous system where we cast a vote every four years and hope for the best. You appoint someone to look after your best interests, while they generally just have the corporations/power brokers interests at heart.
I think that tenders and bills should be transparent, and that citizens with expertise in areas should be allowed to contribute towards the decision making process in a meaningful way (i.e. be allowed to vote on).
It is absolutely crazy that politicians get to make decisions outside of their fields of expertise. You don't do it in your life (e.g. go to your mechanic when you are sick) so why is it acceptable when it comes to making decisions that effect the nations of this world?
You obviously didn't bother to watch the talk. Sure Burt is a bit of a cowboy, but so what. The point of the talk was that there has been no innovation in this for about 30 years, and that private industry is having to do all of this research so that they can own it. They don't have the limitless budget that NASA had during the cold war, and it isn't about waving dicks at each other either - its about building re-usable vehicles that are commercially viable (for some of the companies anyway).
Well, I've just spent the last 20 minutes reading several descriptions of the PKI process. Of the 5 I've read, none of them have referred to the key pair being created on the client. Some of them specifically say that the TTP issues the keys. I can understand what you are saying, and it does make sense, but it doesn't correspond to what I've learnt about RSA encryption and the TTP process.
Having said that,I stand to be corrected If I am wrong. (nothing worse than having invalid data to base decisions on:D)

Only if the mob is composed of lunatics
Which is generally the case with mobs....
Nature doesn't have any intentions for me or any one. What I do is nature, and that includes me eating or not eating meat.
Well it is distribution, but is it really a copyright infringement?
(I don't live in USA so your legislation is not directly relevant to me)
