I think you could argue that putting the rings in a video is "promoting a theatrical exhibition".
Admittedly I'm only relying on wikipedia, but apparently in the US trademark system:
"Fair use may be asserted on two grounds, either that the alleged infringer is using the mark to accurately describe an aspect of its products, or that the alleged infringer is using the mark to identify the mark owner."
I don't believe that this would apply for a video. When talking about MS Windows for example, the name is a trademark and so it is used to identify the mark owner. I don't believe the rings are being used to identify the IOC.
I'm not making a value judgement here. It is protected much more strongly than most other symbols. Only the Red Cross & Red Crescent have more stringent rules.
In the UK we have the Olympic Symbol etc. (Protection) Act 1995.
Some countries have signed up to the Nairobi Treaty on the Protection of the Olympic Symbol.
It doesn't matter that you bought something through an agent. You still have the right to sue the manufacturer or service provider. See the main precedent, Donoghue v Stevenson.
Judges ask questions like that in order to ensure clarity. Remember, their cases will still be sitting in archives in hundreds of years' time, potentially to be used as precedent.
While I expect Elvis, Sinatra, The Beatles and other artists of that calibre will be known for a LONG time, at what level do you draw the line? Radiohead? S Club 7? The Cheeky Girls?
By adding less than 30 seconds to the case by the exchange:
"Who or what are the Beatles?" "A popular beat combo musical band, m'lud. "
not only will humour be created by people saying "Oh, how ignorant judges are!", it ensures that 500 years down the line a case about cockroaches isn't confused by people pulling out the wrong information.
At the time (admittedly about 5 years ago) the OOo formula editor worked and the Microsoft Office one simply didn't in several odd ways. For instance you couldn't embed a formula in a table in MO, which made it kind of useless.
You sure about that? I wrote my Masters dissertation 6 years ago in Word (I know, us lazy engineers) and had no problems putting equations in tables. As this involved linearising multivariate equations for numerical solution on the computer, I had plenty of Jacobian and other matrices that I lined up using tables.
Slashdot Mirror
Ever see the China Syndrome? It's entirely feasible and it's attitudes like yours to quality control that leads to catastrophic failures.
The cartoon specifically discusses plugins, and talks about the security concerns.
If you have to go back to 2005 to get "this week's mail" it's probably not worth doing.
Even if you block idle from the front page, you still get it in the RSS feed.
Well, yes, of course that's what an Anonymous Coward would say.
Sounds a lot like the Soviet car factories that got paid by the weight of the cars they built. So the factories started adding concrete blocks.
Insightful?
Seriously, mods?
Software in general may become patentable in the UK, but that doesn't mean that H.264 in particular would be.

In the US, you have 36 USC 220506.
It's still a password. It's a password that is used for authentication in a different way, but it does not move us "beyond passwords for security"

No, it doesn't count. If you are able to find a new, better paid job, you can go there.
If you were an indentured servant, you would be arrested, fined or simply made to leave the new job by law.

Was it a sociological case study which had been approved by an ethics committee first? I doubt it.
He also invented the sieve, didn't he?
I want Amarok on Windows.
It's also got the money that Union Carbide paid after Bhopal, yet hasn't spent it on those affected by the tragedy.
Okay: 6

You got me wondering there.
From Wikipedia's list of 1941 films - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1941_films - I recognise:
The Devil and Miss Jones
How Green was my Valley
The Maltese Falcon
And that's it.
BH has class A and class B shares.
BRK.B is "only" $3,754.00 per share.
Telephones in the UK used to be run by the Post Office so it isn't too much of a stretch to assume the translation was correct there.
My anecdote (if we're going with memories from the media) is that while girls do better in girl-only schools, boys do better in mixed schools.
Hypothesis being that they will tend to be more sensible so they don't look like fools in front of the girls.
