That's nothing. I create playlists of music based on alphabetical order of track titles, and thus fully expect to get sued by Westlaw because using any information retrieval system that makes the slightest lick of sense apparently infringes on its pagination copyright (I live in the UK).
Wow, so every CD-R sold in Canada is an "audio CD-R"!
Same hypothesis in the UK, but my CD-Rs heartily disagree with it every time they happily store the open source freeware I put on them.
Micro$##t will win. What will happen is that the army will gleefully take delivery of their new software and use it for their 'smart' weaponry, which they will aim at Redmond. Of course, the inevitable will occur, and the only thing left standing will be the fucking target.
It would appear that the best thing to do, given the threat of prosecution for reporting a vulnerability, is to simply leave it there and take full advantage of it.
FTFY.

I guess I just wish there was more Natural Selection left in this world.

Absolutely. Metadata is data about data in the same way that metafiction is fiction about fiction. It seems as though the US government is trying to say that a self-referential fanfiction is devoid of information when we all know better.
Not the first result in Google Images, but on the first page of results nevertheless. An image of the man inside the Dark Helmet can be seen at this link.
Re: Re: I wonder if I will read articles here again
Too right. I recall reading in the Bible that Jesus died to save us all from our sins, so if you choose to use the free will I believe God gave you and not follow any religion, I don't think you'll be condemned for it. I'm a non-denominational Christian and believe most current Christians would be happy as such, but I won't force anyone to change their beliefs unlike some.
Your point being? In case you weren't aware of the fact, Techdirt has never been an enemy of Fair Use such as in the example you've given. "The strawman you have erected has been shot down. Please rectify your argument, and debate again.
That's kinda the point, Uriel. I might get a free trip to the States, no passport required. At the same time, the US government ironically makes my apparent intention more possible than if they simply ignored my post.
If the Irish government are allowed to treat digital FOI request fulfilments as if they're physical ones, does that mean I'm entitled to consider an ebook purchased just as if I'd stood in a queue at Waterstone's for it?
I'ma purchase me a shit ton of PE-4 so I can go to Fort Meade in Maryland and pull a Guy Fawkes on a certain government building there. Pass this around to see the affect it has, to see if I get arrested.
