Will this then apply to books who have had their cover torn off and returned to the publisher? Most of those books carry a "if the cover is missing this book cannot be resold" blurb.
Booksellers who can't sell a quantity of trade paperbacks return the front cover in lieu of the entire book for a refund. It saves on shipping and the publisher doesn't want the unsold books back anyway.
So would these be considered 'gifts' to the bookseller, and presumably under this ruling also viable for resale?
You have no idea what the quote means.
"I'd piss on a sparkplug if I thought it'd do any good" means that you're open to trying ANY solution to fix the problem.
Not simply the foolhardiest solution.
Google claims that section 11.1 of their ToS doesn't mean they control copyright on all docs created with Google Docs, but then again, I'm not going to take legal advice from the people shoving me the document I'm going to sign.
Would you take legal advice from your spouse's divorce lawyer when arguing who owned your house?
When I can take an ebook to an author for them to sign, I might consider one. But as it is, I have quite a collection of signed books. Ex-Presidents, political prisoners, chefs, writers. The signature means more than their name scrawled in ink; it stands for the proximity we shared. And in some cases, it makes the art you already have more personal, and has more sentimental value.
Ebooks can never have sentimental, emotional value. Which is the entire reason for reading, no? Emotional connection. Sentimental rememberance. Textbooks? Fine. PDF your education. But Mark Twain on a kindle? Might as well watch the movie.
I did the opposite route from you.
When I went to grad school to get my Masters' degree, I went to an engineering school. As a result, I have one of the few MS degrees offered in Philosophy.
I got my Bachelors' degrees (two, both BA) from a massive, generic State University.
There are a million reasons I can give you to select the liberal arts school over the engineering school, but there is really only one good one.
EVERYONE programs. In fact, most of the philosophers I graduated with (at both schools) are substantially better programmers than the general public. You just want to learn to program? Well, that's becoming an applied skill that most people are either expected to know (e.g. basic English, MS Office, etc), or it's a grunt level skill that nobody wants to learn because they can cheaply dump it on someone else - like photocopier repair, or HVAC, or anything else that only requires an AA degree. At best.
You aren't going for an AA degree from a community college. You're going for theory. For actual knowledge. There is no theory for you to find at an engineering school that you won't find at a liberal arts college. What you will get at an engineering school is competition to be the best damn 21st century version of a Diesel Engine Tech you can find.
Be sure to remember that when your defense lawyer walks into court wearing flip flops and an "I'm with stupid" T-shirt.....because it doesn't matter at all how he presents himself. It's all about how good his ideas are.
The NCAA, simply, sees live blogging as a method of broadcasting....and really I don't see how they're wrong at seeing it that way. A major revenue stream for the NCAA revenue stream comes from exclusivity contracts to broadcast. Getting upset that they are shutting down what amounts to major-player blogging is silly. You wouldn't get upset about this if, say, CNN gave a video update of the game, live, every 30 seconds; ESPN (or ABC or whomever paid for TV broadcast rights) *would* get upset.
The NCAA is actually more forward-thinking in media than everyone on/. seems to give them credit for; they see the blogs as eroding TV and Radio audiences.
Two years is reasonable when you aren't constantly disclosing how well the project is doing, and trying to muscle in public announcements of massive sales to countries. Those are things you do after you've got a quality alpha.
You might be shocked to learn that everyone who is anywhere remotely associated with academia HATES OO because it absolutely MANGLES endnotes and footnotes. For that reason alone it's unusable "for everyone I know personally."
I don' tthink anyone tunes into the Daily Show and suddenly realizes "Hey! These people CAN be made fun of!" The Daily Show is merely there for people who are ALREADY looking to mock politicians.
I still have my Pat Paulsen campaign button from 1984. And I wear it prodly almost every day in winter (it's on my rain coat).
It's got a photo of him with his hand on his forehead, looking like he's just heard his children all died in a firey crash, and in the circle around the photo it says "I've upped my standards, now up yours."
Because you are confusing "arrest" with "prosecute."
Regal said "we want them arrested." The police then arrested them. That's how things work. When two people fight and nobody wants to press charges, the police often don't make any arrests because nobody wants to press charges (and therefore bring any facts to a possible court case)
It's up to the DA to prosecute once the arrest has been made. She's merely going to court regarding the arrest itself, not any prosecution or trial over what transpired.
The problem is a lack of existing stakeholders able to make it happen. Except now Boeing is a stakeholder. Or are you claiming that Boeing has less pull to get government grants for alternative fuels than the "wind and solar" lobbies?
So the only conclusion to make is that the only items that pass in front of your eyes and ears are items of truly monumental Capital-A Art.

A) Slashdot, and presumably, based on your liberal quoting
B) The Guardian
Or you could state that you made no actual claims yourself, that you were just parroting an article you read somewhere else. In any case, you've made no claims on your own, no meaningful analysis of your own to back up your opinion. That's the mark of a true critic. Using someone else's opinions to stand in place of your own.
This argument is bollocks. A firefighter in a movie theater is going to get an emergency call? They let firefighters who are on the job just wander off and do whatever? Oh, you mean if there's a HUGE fire, and they need to be reached, even if they aren't on the job. Well, what if they were off camping where there is no cell service? It's the exact same situation.
A doctor in a movie theater has already set up a network of alternate doctors to get hold of when they can't be reached. Or have you not tried calling a doctor at an odd hour?
Despite Opera showing its superiority as a browser over and over again and on multiple platforms, from desktop to mobile to game systems, ther eis still no Slashdot Icon to mark Opera news stories.
It's not fictional space. Not any more fictional than any county line or state line.
Districts define state representatives and national representatives.
Let's take a large city in America, say, top ten in population. Gerrymandering could divide the districts within the city such that there are not only more people to vote for party X within a district, but that there are also MORE districts that support party X. Resulting in more people of Party X going to the state assembly/Congress.
Because everything on one side of the line isn't the same intelligence. Just because it is smart enough to warrant freedom from the hunt, that doesn't mean it's so smart that we should mimic its manners.
I personally like to think that I'm smarter than a monkey. If (Devil's Advocate) you want to think otherwise, go for it.
