The US legal history goes back further than the founding fathers. I guess it's safe to assume that the Statute of Anne had a major influence on US copyright legislation (according to Wikipedia, they copied it almost verbatim). I'm neither a lawyer nor a law student, but I think we can view British and US copyright law as one legal tradition then, which started with the early printer monopolies of the 16th century.
Also note that the US constitution doesn't mention the term "copyright" and is pretty vague about the rights that are secured to authors and inventors, and under which provisions. So the constitution doesn't tell us much about the reality of copyright protection.
...this is coming from the same company which tried to force their own new hypertext markup language upon the world.
Also, we don't have a single world language in the literal sense, and much less when it comes to video formats. Complaining about a browser (with a 10-12% market share, mind you) not supporting H.264 is like complaining about people on the web who are not speaking English.
While I support the original intent of both copyright and patent laws, I also think both have exceeded their bounds, and need reform.
The original intent was to BOTH foster creativity and innovation while protecting both, it has currently devolved into protecting/fostering those with the most money.
Whatever you may have heard about such idealistic intentions of copyright is pretty much bullshit. The original idea behind the Anglo-Saxon term of "copyright" was just that - the (exclusive) right to copy something. Its primary purpose was to protect publishers from competition (made possible by the invention of the printing press) by granting them some exclusive rights, e.g. on printing and distributing the bible. This was the 16th century. So, nothing has really changed, just the rhetoric.
What you're referring to are author's rights, a term mostly used in Continental Europe. I don't know whether the intentions behind them were even as benevolent as you think. And in any case, Continental and Anglo-Saxon ideas about copyright/author's rights have conflated in the last decades/centuries, anyway.
...because, and I'm serious, when one thinks of Google, one thinks of an amoral to evil enabler of totalitarian Police States. I do see the anology to my parents!
And as a German, I even see the anology to my grand-parents,
your graphics designers are tards...video cards have almost no effect on 2d graphic programs. oh and MacBooks with 3D cards are called MacBook Pros...and no sorry they don't have battery sucking video cards designed for gaming...Apple builds computers for grown-ups For your interest, there are also 3D graphics designers. While I have to agree that laptops aren't the best platform for rendering these graphics, Apple just doesn't offer any viable products for this special task.
FACT Apples have always been about the same OR BETTER priced compared to equal PC's
I don't know why I spend my time on an obvious fanboy, but this is just ridiculous. Do 800+ bucks RAM-upgrades ring a bell?
And the rest of your FACTs sound just as plausible as Microsoft's 'Get The Facts'
(In fairness, Apple are no better for hiding options in the command line and requiring the use of the defaults command to set them, but at least these aren't very very basic things...) Like showing hidden files in the Finder...
My definition of ready for the desktop would be the ability to install any application I choose without having to know that the terminal exists. Reminds me of a friend telling me that Windows is not ready for music recording because of the inability to run Logic Studio. Which is an Apple Inc. product.
Being able to run every application you can think of is neither reasonable nor realistic to demand.
Yes, but what if you ask the person to type the word/identify the picture/whatever in a specific, random frame of said animation?
Or even something like "please check the objects you see in the animation", followed by, say, 10 radio buttons? Presenting multiple words might work, but for a machine this would just multiply the complexity of one CAPTCHA with the number of frames, while a human takes significantly more time to solve it compared to a flat one.
And radio buttons are out of question, they would produce too many false positives. Tick boxes might be slightly better, but still not as good as text input. Except may to distract some bots.
I don't know how you think they should work, but as only the noise may be changed during an animation (unless you want to be make the CAPTCHA even more inaccessible to ordinary users), a machine might even have an easier time to retrieve the signal (which has to remain constant in some way to be discerned by humans, at least in form and probably in colour), i.e. the text to entered to bypass the CAPTCHA.
Punch cards.
We need to reinvent punchcards. IIRC the voting machines which were used in some counties of Florida during the 2000 presidential elections worked with punch cards like this. But while the voter can control (or rather assume) whether the card has been punched correctly, he doesn't know about the reading machine. You could end up with lots of invalid votes or even worse, votes for the wrong candidate.
The latter case assumedly happened in a largely jewish and democratic county with overproportionally many votes cast for Pat Buchanan instead of Al Gore.
Powerful, maybe. But have you seen the video of those clones? It sounds like a jet taking off! Replacing the coolers and fans and mounting them in a way which avoids unnecessary vibrations would set you back something around 50 bucks, probably less.
So, you honestly think that Microsoft will someday turn into something like the present-day IBM? And who do you think will follow them as the new 'Evil Empire'?

Even worse, those who wrote me only posted links to web pages where I should enter my credit card number.
I always knew they do.

What I find even more disturbing about RFID implants is their presumed connection with causing cancer.
Arrgh, wrong thread.
Yeah, well done, now they'll send a gag order to Slashdot and TPB too. Not that we would care though.
