The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that implements two 1996 treaties of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). It criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures (commonly known as Digital Rights Management or DRM) that control access to copyrighted works
What kind of phenomenal privacy grab is that?! "For the price of a license we can not only know who you worked for, but why you're no longer there, and "aggregate that information (in reversible ways) to better provide you with the Autocad customer experience".
Hi Mr. IT Guy. You'll come across them all in varying shades of disrepair from "normal" OS wear & tear. There was an article about "the 10 cars that sunk Detroit" and the Ford Taurus was one of them. That's where XP is now.
It was so midline good, and such a vacuum formed around it, that there was no successor plan properly formed. XP is kinda sloppy, but it's been patched by enough creative people to do *something*, and all these Alt Op Systems... just have other conceptual themes in the way. (Linux Versioning vs. business software, Mac Hardware tie-ins, etc.)
Vista was a joke, Win7 is perhaps Burlesque. Someone in another post said XP needs to die... then have someone get a grip, get hold of Tracy Kidder & do a "Soul of a New Windows". Code the successor to Win7 to be a beautifully optimized racecar that natively works for netbooks and screams on gaming rigs, add a year of nothing but tuning, and then yes XP will die & "Windows Nitro" (or such) will be the new 7 year standard.
The guy "likes what worked" but he needs an exit strategy for his data. I know how tough retraining can be too, but he at least needs the info while his "refreshed system" is being offered so he can be informed. Both I and my coworker "didn't need fancy cell phones" until one random month apiece we "just grew into them", and then became more productive.
DOS software is pretty aged now. I really shudder to think about it ANOTHER 15 years from now. I don't know where the golden point is in Vet software, but it should be looked at to provide the decision context.
I'm WildlyGuessing* that it's only 8-10 publishers holding 75% of the market here in the US, which really isn't all that much better either.
But more importantly is the essay on this page - Baen Free Library - which talks about the limits of a 1-man op and volunteers. But if Google is doing it, and they can get Pros, that might open collaborations.
We spent our time moaning over the RIAA's effects on copyright in the music context, but the damage they caused spills over to all copyright situations, including this one.
"Little people" like to be known, but Big Corps in a bad mood wouldn't like rampant copying.
Tweet posts are copyrightable works as long as trivial outliers are avoided. Ignoring issues like TOS grabs, the lower bound is much shorter, perhaps down in the 1 word range.
You can fit two haikus per tweet - no one's going to deny the creativity there!
Just because most people burn their characters on facile content doesn't automatically strip away the copyrightability.
What's happening is that it's hard to find a Fair Use fragment since the whole is so short.
"There's a real and appropriate analogy to stolen goods here, even though copyright infringement and theft is not the same."
Gets past the lowest grade snarks who trumpet they the two are not identical, while keeping the discussion open to determine exactly what grade of "not-right" pure unauthorized downloading is.

Depends on the country.

So why is it the African guys can't write good King's Money emails?
Bang. THERE's the secret!

Preying on the desperate.
Yes, because of how fast and volatile it is.
You'd think "Oh, I'll skip that cup - I'm late", ... and then you tank the first 2 hours at work.
Car Analogy!

George Orwell on Operating Systems!
"And there, Free BSD was doing Linux, and Debian Linux can run the BSD kernel, and lo, you could no longer tell them apart".
Yes, you're on the right track.
Come on gang, $300 in hardware is peanuts.

It absolutely does, and the lack of easy facilities for this probably hits out GNP.
But Most places are required to give you a half hour (even unpaid) break, so just take your car and leave, and master the 25-min nap.

Your set of 9 "perfectly"s has one more letter than Ballmer's set of 8 "developers".
I want a Furore too, preferably with 670 HP.
I think the new build of Opera 10.0 and Safari4 Beta get 100% on Acid3.

Wait, what about Asymmetrical Torrents?
They download music, they upload forbidden news blogs?

Ad slogans are encroaching on this end. They take ordinary usages out of parlance with a slight twist to tie in with a product brand.
Poetry is the easiest bust of your pure character count.
See my longer note above.
Nope. Quit that wager before you lose your shirt.

One did. It was a beautiful tweet. But I'm too busy to look in my notes logs to find it.

You just found the beautiful phrase.

Not quite correct.
They'd still complain, because complaining is fun and profitable. But it would be much flimsier complaining.
As posted above, it would be hysterical to have a centrally organized Ripped Page site/service.
