Coke could have patented the formula, but then once the 20 years were up, would have to submit it to the public domain. By keeping it a secret, they've got a perpetual monopoly on that type of cola drink as long as they can keep it.
He was the first, and as far as I know, the likely source of all spoilers up to this point. Do you realize how many people he can pass by on the street now that know the ending of the book because of his efforts? That's influence.
Hey, don't go through such an elaborate funhouse of -- for lack of a better word, 'magical' -- protections and secrets that only serve as a challenge.
You would not have people driving by bookstores come saturday shouting out the ending if Rowling didn't start the whole mess. I'd like to thank her for ensuring Anonymous aided me in enjoying the book a week before everyone else.
I don't think that there is any real threat to the long-term survival of the Xbox 360.
This is hardcore. As good as you play your games, eventually the console will be emblazoned with the infamous words "Your deeds will be remembered" and it will stop booting.
There is no other provision in the Copyright Act that specifically authorizes the making of backup copies of works other than computer programs even if those works are distributed as digital copies.
Now pay attention, this is important stuff.
In our country, rights are set to "on" by default. Unless a federal or state law, or city ordinance prohibits something, you can do it. The Copyright Act does not have to authorize something -- laws prohibit actions.
If your car can still function after the accident, get it off the road. If the other person's cannot or is unwilling, use your vehicle to push theirs onto the shoulder. Yes, it's that important.
I got the original Super Mario 2 near release, bought Mario All Stars for SNES, the Mario 2 Advance for Game Boy (the latter both coming with some sort of enhancement)...
And now they expect me to pay for the original game locked on a single console? No thanks. I was playing emulated mario 2 off 3 1/4 floppies when the Wii's great grandfather was still in diapers.
We don't know where he is, but we can certainly tell you where he's not -- the universe. Whenever the next Horrendous Space Kablooie is, he can tell us about it while he safely watches from outside.
If you focus on the obvious, and the majority don't, I doubt they'll try very hard to get around you. Decreasing returns. They'll already have more than enough profitable information.
Same issue with the google cookie. The machine sends the data with a unique ID for your machine. As long as they can match your name once to the ID, it's good for tracking all transmissions. Stuff like Error Reporting send a dump of whatever document/webpage you're running at the time, that can certainly be enough. And don't you have to give your name when you activate it in the first place?
Not really. It's a reasonable assumption that you can disable these services to some degree like in XP (error reporting service, for example). No fuss, no muss. Either through the system itself or some sort of hax.

With a smile on their face. Heck, we'd put him in a Syrian prison if he was a little browner.

I hope I can scrounge up enough pgems for it. Do you know how rare Jah and Ber runes are? My kingdom for a 15% archon plate...
You're thinking of Accio actually :)

Um, how exactly do they find the camera once they have the serial number to match it up? Fucking magic?
It's about styyyyyyle.

You are incorrect

Hangings for "High Crimes" would be a nice start.

Good thing for us, people generally have to prove why government should prohibit something. The onus is not on the people to prove why it is needed.

I have never seen To Catch A Predator, but I am a bit confused about exactly what crime was committed if there are no children involved.
Questions like that only embolden the enemy.

... and frankly, US tax law already handles the situation, but it is up to the individual to report their income
However, that is largely unenforceable. Hence why stories such as this _are_ news.
Al Gore, too.
We don't know where he is, but we can certainly tell you where he's not -- the universe. Whenever the next Horrendous Space Kablooie is, he can tell us about it while he safely watches from outside.
That certainly explains his lack of presence while we generally screw things up on him.
Who's going to notify the coroner that the our Diety is lying crumpled in a ditch along the Celestial Highway?
The big foreplay.
Come on, what do you think, the universe is a whore?
