The ocean is free, until there are military enforced embargoes. Then it becomes pseudo free. The internet is pseudo free and evev that is diminishing. Imagine if they decide to have a web access tax. For every site you access daily, you pay a penny. What a goldmine the free web will be.
Actually, we need multiple internets. One for the governments to play with with suckers who go on it, and another which has no government oversite.
The problem is that Rand Paul isn't suggesting that the groping stop. He's suggesting that it be *privatized*, with no government oversight or accountability at all (even less than there already is). So the only thing that will change is that the person grabbing your balls will wear a different logo on his shirt--and answer only to a private company.
If a terrorist wanted to really do harm, the proof of success is the plethora of high-rise buidlings in every city. I just think that fear mongering has caused exaggerated risks.
The surveillance done by the FBI or other agencies specializing in terrorism detection are better placed than the search for matches that are stuffed up a persons rectum.
This bureaucracy is built on being self sustaining. Pretty soon they will move from airports to toll booths to whatever else the fear mongers think will sustain their existance.
Interesting that computer "the format of data files" are not copyrightable!
"the Court holds that neither the functionality of a computer program nor the programming language and the format of data files used in a computer program in order to exploit certain of its functions constitute a form of expression. Accordingly, they do not enjoy copyright protection."
Very interesting.
The Format of the data file being non copyrightable is an excellent Idea. Most of the time the data in the file belongs to the user, and making the file format non-protected allows for data migration, whether by the user or a competitor's product. I've always maintained that user data belongs to the user.
The wording "the functionality of a computer program" may not be copyrighted pretty much says you can't copyright what your program does, but you may be able to copyright the actual code. This too allows migration, and prevents the "monopoly of ideas", and that might be what they wanted to protect.
My only worry is that wording "functionality of a computer program" is wide open to interpretation, and could be used to ban clones. But The court address this as follows:
In that context, the Court states that if a third party were to procure the part of the source code or object code relating to the programming language or to the format of data files used in a computer program, and if that party were to create, with the aid of that code, similar elements in its own computer program, that conduct would be liable to be prohibited by the author of the program. In the present case, it is apparent from the explanations of the national court that WPL did not have access to the source code of SAS Institute’s program and did not carry out any decompilation of the object code of that program. It was only by means of observing, studying and testing the behaviour of SAS Institute’s program that WPL reproduced the functionality of that program by using the same programming language and the same format of data files.
So if you simply write a program that produces the same output of some proprietary program, that is perfectly permissible. But If you had access to the proprietary source code and used any of that code you were liable for copyright infringement.
This pretty much sounds the death knell for applications that attempt to lock you in. They might not help you migrate, but they can't use copyright laws to prevent the development of competing products.
But rounded corners? Still protected?
Does this mean that MS's copyright on Fat32 is open to all to duplicate. Can nyone can now create a compatible Fat32 file without any concerns?
Why not go for 30 inches outside. That is the standard size that doorways widths are standardized to. If you allow 4 inches on either inside for cabling, why stop at 21 inches?
How is this a "coverup"? There was a properly adjudicated warrant to seize the server in the first place (whether or not it was over-broad, and whether or not someone agrees with the reasoning). Law enforcement is not obligated to make public announcements — and this story was covered widely.
For the people saying this is a Fourth Amendment violation, do people really think the FBI just routinely rolls onto private property without a legal justification for doing so? Again, saying "we weren't notified of the server's seizure or return" has nothing to do with the legality of either action.
In the first discussion, many were lamenting the possibility that the server may not be returned for months, if ever; now it's been returned (probably after having its drive(s) imaged) in a timely fashion and that's a bad thing, too? The issue of notification or announcement is irrelevant to the law.
What I would be concerned about is if the FBI entered private property without permission and without a legal basis — for example, via continuing coverage by one or more warrants to enter the property. Notice that is not what is being alleged here, just what some people are assuming...
From what I read, the FBI does what you say it does not. If you let your fingernails and toe nails go unclipped, you are carrying bodily weapons that can injure people. You can be arrested for having weapons without a license.
Climate is not changing!!! Then: When I married 45 years ago, we had heavy snow storms starting in the first week of November. Winter gave us 30degrees below zero (Celsius). Spring with buds on the trees came around the 1st of June
Now 45 years later, I have proof that there is no global warming. Here it is:
Heavy snow storms now occur around or a few days after Christmas (one month later). The coldest it gets is -22degrees below zero.(Celsius). Spring with buds on the trees has come (15 April) (4 weeks early). Our tulips, our apple blossoms are over the bloom, and the grass is being cut weekly.
The earth has not really warmed up. The center of the earth is still the same temperature. Minors who go deep underground could confirm this. The warmer seasons, what we call warming is due to the blanket of CO2 that prevents the sun's heat from escaping to outer space as radiation. Get rid of the CO2 blanket, and the seasons will go back to what they were like fifty years ago. Man has just put so much into the atmosphere and is continuing to do so that the next century will see drought in places that never had it before. The higher temperatures closer to the equator will cause major migration to occur towards the poles.
Bullshit to Oracle. That is what they will earn. Here is how I see the issue. I write an API, which has certain function names and arguments. The API is closed, I cannot see the interior, but I am entitled to use it. Can someone else create an independent work that may perhaps have the same or similar name?
The hardware manufacturers create a CPU with an instruction set and the compiler authors develop assembly or higher level languages that run the hardware. Are they not entitled to everything that anyone wrote, including Oracle, as they created and own the basic syntax implementation and instruction set. The owners of any derivative begin with the hardware vendors. Intel will be one up on Oracle if Oracle is found to be right.
Here is my counter example. I write a history book in chronological sequence about the civil war. I write about certain events. Does that entitle me to say I own any other work that independently describes the same history? According to Oracle, my copyright excludes everyone else from writing a similar book, with similar contents. Note well. I am writing in chronological sequence, then events are presented in a chronological sequence and that, according to Oracle should stop others from writing about the same events in their book? Two books can have the same title, but different ISDN numbers and different authors.
With UBUNTU, FEDORA, SUSE, or MINT, this problem does not exist. One of my sons has a Toyota, another a Honda, and my daughter a Chrysler. They all drive on the roads.
I would select one distribution from the above, and go with it. I believe all but Fedora include non gpl software. (video and audio codecs and players).
They select one, then show them where to start firefox, the libreoffice writer, the evolution or thunderbird email, and show them some games,
After that... If they cannot use it, they will have a similar problem with windows.
Good citizens pay their fair share, so it must be asked: why does Apple hate America?
Because the Universities taught MBA students to think global and not of your country, think of yourself, think of your share of profits, and let the poor finance the country.
A superior form of Capitalism where the first god is money, and the second is God. What happened to charity and tithes? Apple does not think it owes the USA anything, except jobs for Apple product distributors.

What would China do if the USA told Intel that selling cpu's to China is off limits. Would Intel's competitor (AMD) get the benefit? What if China, wants more jobs at home, and wants to promote it's own IT industry. The USA has already sent the manufacturing off shore, so now that the children of the next generation are completing university, why should they want to buy American technology? Why put your country at risk to potential future USA policies or politics.
The wonderful schooling of MBA's taught to look today at maximizing profit, and forget the future. You who are reading this are part of the pain due to that teaching. The future is leaving the USA and the USA is becoming a consumer nation. No nation or individual has exclusivity on intelligence, and the transfer of manufacturing will be followed by China doing the engineering and using their local manufacturing plants setup by you know who.

You know what's absurd? It's common place to call industrialised farming "conventional". Spraying crops with tons of pesticides that produce "edible" goods. Instead of producing a product that actually helps the environment, they use Government money (subsidizing) to lower the price of the "conventional" and industrialized methods. Calling them cheaper, rather than realizing the total cost includes the money given to the corporations by the government itself. Even if the company is not given money directly, it uses cheap foodstock (corn) which itself is given money.
It's been shown time and time again that these pesticides produce health issues in animals and people. For example Round-up, the scientific research finds that the pesticide "additives" primarily cause the issue rather than the pesticide itself.
Because the pesticide in-itself doesn't cause issues, they simply formulate a new chemicle makeup to circumvent the regulations. Which in turn often comes up as toxic. So Monsanto can simply sidestep an environmental issue by changing the formula without producing positive evidence that the new product is safe.
Monsanto makes billions while environmental concerns are simply thrown away.
My experience with Organic vegetables (tomatoes for example) is that the product is more tender, has better color, is more juicy (being more tender), and has more flavor. Is the flavor thing my imagination? I think not.
Also I recall reading where wind blue Monsantos seeds into neighboring fields, and the neighbors were sued for usurping M's patents. Monsanto could and did fight the neighbors and as the case unrolled, big bucks won.

I would start by picking up a used dual core PC for a hundred or so dollars and installing a Linux system on it.
With Linux, you can download compilers, editors, programmers workbenches, etc.
I started with renewing my C expertise, now I am on to C++ with QT, and will be beginning C#. I do not find Java attracting me to it.
I bet you could even find COBOL, Pascal, Fortran, and everything else.
I too am retired (71) and enjoying life at the keyboard. Also my wife loves that I am not in her space.
If interested, reply to this post and I will follow up.

Time to look again at Linux, particularly versions from off shore (UBUNTU, MINT, SUSE). Linux from offshore is unencumbered by USA pseudo patents.
