Actually, you need to RTFO (O=opinion). The Ninth Circuit opinion, which Nissan Computers links to in his long tale of woe, said that Nissan Computers could keep its nissan.com website and continue to use its trademarked name of Nissan Computers. However, what it could not do was continue to solicit ads from automobile-related companies, because those ads could cause confusion among people searching for Nissan cars.
"Serving notice" against a company of any size that is legally doing business in your state should not be a problem in this day and age. Check with the Corporations Department or Division in your state: it's usually part of the Secretary of State's office and the few that are not online yet will list a number that you can call. Then just ask, "Who is the registered agent for XYZ Corporation in this state?" Because that's public information, they'll give you the name and address of the registered agent and you can serve your notice on him/her/it.
Thanks for the link. I'll probably have to set up a Windows box for my niece before she starts high school and it sure would be great not to have to go remove all the crap by hand.
At least the Feds don't have to worry about Iraq, Iran, et al. for the next few days. They've probably upset The Terminator and, as we all know, he'll be back.
Well, as I think I said, it's been about 18 months since I last used Serif, so things might have changed. What I recall is that the original download was free altough I did get emails from them about their other not-so-free products; but since those emails were going to my occasional-use-only hotmail account, I didn't find them too troubling. However, it was only slightly later that Microsoft decided to "allow" me to "fix" my computer by adding WGA--I immediately changed to Kubuntu and haven't looked at Paint.net or Serif until then.
Last time I did a bunch of image manipulation, I used Paint.Net but there were a couple of things that it didn't do well -- I think cloning was one of them. However, I then found another free program at http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/ which handled those items. I now find that Serif has changed to include 5 separate programs, which may make it even better than Paint.net. Of course, the downside is that both programs are compatible only with Windows.
Linux still isn't as userfriendly as Windows is today,...
I guess this depends on your definition of "user-friendly." I think Ubuntu is very friendly because it never insists on calling home to report on what software I'm running.
Can we get some good articles back in/. instead of this crap?
Sure, go to the top of the page, click on "Firehose" and give your opinion on the submissions. That way, you can help the editors pick out the "good articles" before they're published.
Actually there is a time limit on how long the user has in which to file an appeal. These time limits typically are quite short, like 20 or 30 days, but the time period usually only begins from the date of the judgment. Since there hasn't been a judgment entered yet, the time hasn't started running.
"this will clearly raise the fear of human rights abuses."
And just how is monitoring everything from your purchases to your sex life NOT a human rights abuse?
one of the most startling aspects of this plan is that this project is mostly made possible by an American company with solid venture fundings.'
And I greatly fear that unless we all start using those four boxes (from someone's sig), this country may continue sliding down the proverbial slippery slope to that sort of monitoring of us.

But the SCO v. IBM case has also been decided here. From the court's conclusion:
Therefore, Novell is entitled to a declaration of rights under its Fourth Claim for Relief that it was and is entitled, at its sole discretion, to direct SCO to waive its claims against IBM and Sequent, and SCO is obligated to recognize Novell's waiver of SCO's claims against IBM and Sequent.
If you RTFA all the way through, you'll find reference to a Kaspersky discussion of the beginning of this Trojan from June 2006. According to that discussion (http://www.viruslist.com/en/analysis?pubid=189678 219), the original emails were sent to people who had applied for jobs on a Russian job site and the attachment supposedly discussed the compensation plan. The email, as translated from the original Russian was:
Hello !
We are writing to you regarding the resume you have posted on the job.ru website. I have a vacancy that is suitable for you. ADC Marketing LTD (UK) is opening an office in Moscow and I am searching for appropriate candidates. I will soon be asking you to come in for an interview at a mutually convenient time. If you are interested in my offer, please fill out the attached form related to compensation issues and email the results to me.
Sincerely,

I imagine that they could use the same method here by getting names from someplace like monster.com.
Actually, the issue of time-shifting as fair use is not statutory -- it was part of a 1984 decision of SOCUS in Sony Corp. v. Universal City Studios, Inc. My guess is that the current Court would have no compunction about overruling it.
No. The Pentagon Papers case (403 US 713) was a "per curiam" ("by the court") decision which simply stated that it is unconstitutional to try to stop material from being published. Of course, there were several separate opinions in which the Justices explained why they felt the information should or should not be published. It's probably possible to support any view regarding the release and/or publication of classified material by following the rationale of one or more of the Justices' separate opinions but because there was no consensus on the underlying reasoning, the case is not a helpful precedent.
From an in-house lawyer's point of view, there is a helpful idea here, particularly with regard to the sales people and the executives that like to handle their contracts "on the edge." Instead of writing a long memo explaining why they can't do what they wanted, it would be so much better to show their avatar dressed in an orange jumpsuit or standing on the edge of an eroding cliff. That might actually get their attention so that the counsel wouldn't have to rewrite and reissue the same memo on a regular basis.
And, as I recall, OneCare was supposed to be a premium service which required users to pay a monthly fee to keep using it -- protection money at its finest.
Now it's time to bring in those big class-action firms and sue M$ on behalf of the whole 'nix community for breach of the GPL. If Linus himself were to be the named plaintiff, it might get the attention of some of the sheep out there. No more "Heil, Microsoft"?
A "limited purpose public figure" means that the doctor is to be considered a public figure with regard to his plastic surgery practice because he put himelf in the public eye with regard to how he published his practice. However, he still retains his status as a private figure with regard to the rest of his life so she couldn't add information like "this doctor mistreats his children" without it being defamatory. As I believe other have pointed out, being a public figure means that he must prove that the information on her website was posted with a malicious or reckless disregard for whether the information was true.
With regard to HIPAA (two A's, not two P's) and the other medical confidentiality issues, the doctor can only introduce that amount of her medical information that is necessary to rebut her claims (for example, the pictures he took at her two- or three-week follow up visit).
Finally, the number of times that a physician has been sued for malpractice means very little; what's important is the number of malpractice claims he or she lost after trial.
Where did you get the idea that this conduct is illegal? It can be illegal if done by a government agency, but there's nothing illegal about an individual "outing" another individual. You may be able to sue the person who published the information for damages, but that's just a private lawsuit and has nothing to do with criminal law.
The same phenomenon also happens with dead tree media. A downloadable version of any recent book is going to cost 2 to 3 dollars more than the paperback version. There goes my idea of using an ereader to cut down on luggage!
Unless Earthlink has changed tremendously, getting away from them is next to impossible. Back in the days when everyone criticized the pervasiveness of AOL, I installed Earthlink in an attempt to help my spouse with the Earthlink problems he was having. Once installed, it took over my computer, wouldn't let me get to any other ISP and was a bitch to uninstall.
You CAN do something. There are representatives to be elected in every state next year, along with 1/3 of the Senators. You san start now to find out who's likely to be running for those offices in the primaries and support the nomination of those willing to "end the rampage." Then support those people to be ellected. It will take a year and a half for it all to take effect, but at least you can let the incumbents know how you feel by using the power of the ballot.
Please don't think that I'm pointing at any particular party or individual. IMHO, they've all been lying down on the job and not supporting us. We have the right and the obligation to choose leaders who will follow our wishes.
