You know, there's an old Chinese proverb about that. Goes something like....
"Nuke the Whales....You've gotta nuke someone..."
No seriously, that's the only point of this article that stands out to me, (Promise mike, I'm not trolling here). This is going to be nothing but bad PR for Holmes, and I've the feeling that she's going to have a hard time being taken seriously in the legal community after this. Which means one less "Dirty" lawyer for the rest of us to worry about. We'll see.
"The lesson is deal with the world that is, not the world as you want it to be or as it used to be."
The problem with that is that it requires open minded thinking from a group of people who are practically paid by a group of few individuals who want to make as much $$$ as they can in a short amount of time.
US puts pressure on companies that do business with wikileaks because they do not like what wikileaks is doing.
Visa, Mastercard and Paypal among others, (those are the three that I view as significantly important to cablegate) terminate services as far as Wikileaks is concerned.
USG does everything in its power to discredit Wikileaks.
and then...
This farce of a holiday celebrating "free" press.
My head can follow the trail, but that doesn't mean it hurts any less.
I don't visit WL Everyday, and I've only been half following the WL story as it has become such a large internet white-noise generator, so I may be a little behind, forgive me if that is the case, but has Wikileaks been taken offline altogether or has my ISP decided to join the bandwagon...?
It is actually fairly easy in the long run to disaggregate the info.
Separate out all the individual items and look for similar patterns within certain areas, eg. a lot of one type of product is going to one street or house.
It's not 100% reliable, but it gets you close enough to take a well-educated guess.
Seeing as they're only taking bits of words, wouldn't this be covered under fair use? I mean in all honesty here this is a good idea, and fairly close imho to a mix tape.
Would you care to post a copy of your email from the PR rep? Just curious to see what they had to say.
Unless Google can pull some really good reason for this out of their collective @$$, this move has just totally dissuaded me from trading in my Samsung phone for the Droid this December when my contract allows it.
I really hope that this isn't, as many are saying, a sign of things to come. Google has always been good to me and for me, but, I guess times change huh?
Tell me, why should I have to register my devices with the content companies? Why should I have to tell them that I own a Creative zen/Microsoft Zune/Ipod, my brand and model computer, the cell phone carrier I use, and the make and model of my television?
Now what if out of the blue there's a spat between say Sony (The TV Manufacturer)and say Warner Bros? Oops! Warner stops issuing keys to Sony and boom, now I have to buy a Warner Bros. Approved television.
What happens when they turn the DRM servers off?
I happen to firmly agree with Mike here content NEEDS to be free (as in speech) and in many cases free as in beer makes sense economically.

200+
oops! Sorry about the blank post.
Yes AngryDude 200+ inventions. Most of them are simple improvements to already created inventions, but different enough to warrent the term Invention. For example, (Not that I think you have ever used much less even seen a REAL chainsaw, nevermind sharpen one) just about anyone who has used a chainsaw knows how hard they are to sharpen, I have in the works (Still in design phase) a sharpener that sits with in the chainsaw sharpening as it runs. (Admittedly not as good as stopping cutting and sharpening it with a file, but I am predicting a 40% increase in the length of time you can cut without stopping to sharpen.)
Or how about my electrical socket that won't depress away from the faceplate (A rather common problem I am finding in older houses) which is being tested right now in my own house in about 7 different rooms.
Like I said, they are just simple improvements on previous inventions, but the thing is, that is why inventors (REAL INVENTORS not children like you) invent. To improve society. Now, I have shared two of my inventions why don't you either put up or shut up.
You seem to be under the impression that you are god's greatest gift to mankind because you hold one measly patent. And worse, you are lording your supposed patent over the rest of us, claiming that the corporations are corrupt because they troll their patents, then, you stated
>Just remember, the BIGGEST "patent troll" is IBM with over 40,000 patent, most of them are potentially invalid, by the way.
If IBM is allowed to do it, why can't I do it ? I certainly can and will, once I raise some money for litigation...
which says that you are no better than anyone of these patent trolling companies.
When you finally decide to come off of your mother's apron strings, come back and talk to me. When you decide that you are a grown man, I will talk to you as such. Until then, Here is a pillow and a blanket, I think it's nap-time
Angry dude, being an inventor myself I would just like to say that your statement from the 18th of March 2006 at 0545 reading
>Ask any real inventors out there if you don;t belive me.
Do they do it for money of just for pure joy of inventing ?
The answer will be the money. Just ask them...
Everybody wants to be paid for his work, including inventors.
I would just like to say this one thing, That statement is the biggest load of B.S I have ever seen. Further, you show a blatent disregard for proving your statements.
Now don't get me wrong. I am NOT a patent holder. I have 200+ inventions floating around my house and not a single one of them is patented. As a matter of fact, I am considering releasing them under something similar to the GNU license. (You do know what GNU is right? If not here is a link, http://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html) The reason being my aim in inventing is NOT to make money, but to improve the society in which we live. Granted there are some-things that must be done when inventing to protect your property, such as not releasing images or descriptions until they are licensed, However by using a license similar to GNU not only will I retain credit for the Original work but John Doe down the road can say, "Hey! This Device works really well, but if it had this...." and he can add it and re-release it under the same license. By holding that original license in my hand, I can prevent him from making money off of my original idea, but still allow him to further the good of society.
Also, as noted in previous comments, You have mentioned several times that you are a patent holder, now PLEASE I beg of you, back yourself up. Otherwise you are blatently disrespecting the other readers and making yourself seem (as Mike so kindly put it earlier) incredibly childish and Niave. And if I may make one final suggestion, get yourself a good spell-checking program and check your posts before you submit them. Easy way out, copy paste into Microsoft Word click the spell check button. I am going to hope you don't need a tutorial on that, however if you do I will write one for you and post it on my website.
