I'm not actually selling make up or anything else at the moment. I would have assumed that if the transaction were lawful then title would transfer to the purchaser (second seller). How can a manufacturer conclude that a second sale of the product carries the same contractual obligations on the new seller even though no meeting of the minds could have taken place?
Is there a lawyer that might add some insight here on the concept of "first sale"? I was under the impression that after purchasing a product that you as the rightful owner of the product reserved the right to sell it any time and at any price.
I'm not normally given to conspiracies, but this is ridiculous. The fact that we're having this conversation means that at least someone is concerned about the possibility of Government key loggers not being detected, and if it's taken someone outside of gov't this long to discuss it then I feel certain that the gov't itself has been thinking about this for some time.
These companies will cave to whatever law enforcement agency has jurisdiction for the investigation quicker than the last Harry Potter book hit the torrents. The only possible exception would be those AV companies that are immediately outside of the grasp of the agency involved. I don't even think that those companies are safe because their own governments would likely bear pressure to comply.

[about the poison on the darts in their guns]
Eddie Carr: The most powerful neurotoxin in the world. It works faster than the nerve conduction velocity, which means the animal's down before it actually feels the - P! - prick of the dart.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Is there an antidote?
Eddie Carr: What, like if you shot yourself in the foot? Don't do that, you would be dead before you even knew you had an accident.
According to this article http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcg i?artid=25694 the effect of the venom is merely "near instantaneous" as opposed to the faster claim of Eddie Carr.
I ran the text through google translate and this is what happened:
Researchers at AT&T were very concerned that bandwidth would be further commoditized if the government does not act to prevent it. If At&t is required to treat everyone the same, then the consumer is free to choose the services that they want based on something called "quality of service" rather than a more practical method of choosing.... say... oh I don't know... uhm... a method of choosing based on how profitable it is for At&t. Having the consumer choose services based on what benefits At&t is a much more practical and convenient way for the consumer to purchase services over the Internet.
At&t is very concerned about the bewildering number of options that the American consumer has available, and with the best interest of our customers at heart, At&t should assist the consumer by limiting the number of choices immediately.
Spokesmen for At&t quickly said that "We do not want to the consumer to get the full unfettered benefit of the Internet because then we would have to actually add infrastructure to meet demand.
That's the difference between Digg and/. I've always considered digg to have a somewhat adhd interface, and it is the incredibly self serving diggs of various "geektechblog-o-matic" fourteen sentence blogs that turns me off. On slashdot the slashvertisements and blog submissions usually will get an editor flamed, and I think that it cuts down on the noise a lot. I love this poll... I pick "Cowboy Neals Blog of Artilces Blogged by Article Writers"
I can just see the hippies have one more reason to want to start a protest. Can't you just picture them fighting to see who can be in front when the police start using those! We might as well be pummeling them with baggies of mj and poppy seeds!
Okay. Let's assume that the banks are somewhat justified in asking for the right to inspect a users pc. If I were in New Zealand I would be petitioning my lawmakers for the right to sue for damages beyond actual loss when, by reason of lack security, personal information is compromised and theft is the result.
A quick search on google resulted in a large list of banks that have lost information or had fraud that was the result of a security breach. My personal favorite from the list was this little gem from no other than the Bank of New Zealand. Apparently theives outfitted a few ATMs with skimming devices and harvested the account & pin information from the banks customers cards. The bank is resonsible for the security of those ATM's and should be held accountable for more than just the theft of cash.

This would make one heck of a good video for Youtube would if it's done right. I would be very interested to watch the test accompanied by the 1812 overture with the wings snapping in a spectacular fashion just as the drums hit! Oh, and add two squirrels and a cat fighting to the video. And while you're at it add lightsabers and two chicks kissing. Now that would make a good video!
Microsoft capitulated pretty quickly when it came to the search thing in Vista, but Google is looking more and more like a dominatrix that is just flogging her little bitch.

You kind of answered your own question. People do not honestly report income from those sales. What is the American state or federal government to do when the game is sponsored on the intratubes by a foreign company? This isn't a very practical idea at all. The value of a virtual piece of property is only extant when there is a population willing to pay real currency for it, and by the nature of the tubes that population might only exist for the lifespan of an African fruit fly! Unless the government is going to get fully into banking and force everyone to receive funds directly through the central bank and assess taxes there this is really a no starter.
Wife: I don't like it when you do (this) so I'm going to cut you off. Husband: Oh yeah, well I'm going to have a beer with guys on your birthday. Wife: Oh yeah well I'm going to ask my mother to move in. Husband: Oh yeah! Well I'm going to let you.
Both think about it for a minute.
Wife, well maybe we can uh, you know work things out a little bit. Husband: Well maybe. Have you seen my socks?
There is tremendous interdependency between an awful lot of web companies and to spite themselves they're going to have to play nice in the sandbox if they are going to get anything done.
Don't wanna be a Canadian Idiot
Don't wanna be some beer-swillin' hockey nut
And do I look like some frost-bitten hose head?
I never learned my alphabet from A to Zed
They all live on donuts and moose meat
And they all leave the house without packin' heat
Never even bring their guns to the mall
And you know what else is too funny?
Their stupid monopoly money
Can't take 'em seriously at all
Well, maple syrup and snow's what they export
They treat curling just like it's a real sport
They think their silly accent is so cute
Can't understand a thing they're talking a-boot
Sure, they got their national health care
Cheaper meds for prime rates and clean air
Then again, well they got Celine Dion
Eat their weight in Kraft macaroni
And dream of driving a Zamboni
All over Saskatchewan
Don't wanna be a Canadian idiot
Won't figure out the temperature in Celcius
See the map, they're hoverin' right over us
Tell you the truth, it makes me kinda nervous
Always hear the same kind of story
Break your nose and they'll just say "Sorry"
Tell me what kind of freaks are that polite
It's gotta be they're all up to something
So, quick, before they see it coming
Time for a preemptive strike
Seriously, if you are the sort of person that must rely on GPS and a four billion dollar infrastructure to get lunch you probably shouldn't be allowed in public unescorted anyway.
GPS is a gimmick unless you are: A) Plotting cruise missile strikes B)Lost in a forest being chased by bigfoot
TomTom is much better for in car navigation than any cell phone could be.
I've often wondered if Shuttleworth would turn out to be some sort of 21st century Dr. Faustus and sign a deal with the devil. He is a business man after all and Canonical is a business. It's pleasing to hear that he will not be directly working with Microsoft, but one has to wonder whether or not Ubuntu's collaboration with Dell and Linspire (both of whom have signed on with MS) mean to Canonical. Is he saying this now because in some indirect way Ubuntu becomes indemnified by default? I'm not saying one way or the other, and I certainly am not questioning His commitment to FOSS but it is curious to watch this happen. What one of us here wouldn't give our little used left testicle to just be a fly on the wall of those patent extor... errr.. licensing meetings between MS and insert your own company here.
