Derp. yeah, that's what I ment. Trying to type all that on my lunchbreak. That's why I said All tv's are square including the widescreen 16:9 ratio. Just got my logic backwards explaining it.
I don't see them raising any concerns about basic shape. All TV's are squares (and yes, a rectangle can be considered a square.) All phones and tablets are going to LOOK the same. The difference is how well they function.
If Apple can no longer compete in a free market with all their overpriced gadgets (that are now going to require all new docking stations/charging plugs) they deserve to be left in the dust. I can't wait to see the Streisand Effect take shape and slowly watch Apple lose their marketshare.
Don't give them any ideas. The Immigration and Agriculture checkpoints already delay my trips long enough. We don't need more of them!!!
And like you said, for ground transportation, the terrorist doesn't even have to be ON the vehicle. They can just find an exposed area and plant an IED there. When the train/bus/whatever runs by...BOOM!! Nothing the groping TSA agents could have stopped.
Oh, wait...the terrorists are all "suicide bombers" they don't know how to plant explosives and walk away.
That should be enough to get me on some "watch lists" now. Let the groping begin!!!
Re: Of course-- but we do ban brandishing a banana
And let's make this more real. Let's say you walked into a bank with a gun. Let's say you take it out or the clerk sees it in your pants. Let's say the clerk sounds the silent alarm and the SWAT team comes in and shoots you. Sure the second amendment protects your right to possess that gun/banana, but I don't think the jury is going to blink when they hear that you were holding a gun in a bank.
You try that in any of the banks in California, you won't even make it IN the bank. You'll trip the metal detector and be stuck in a 3' x 4' room with locked doors and bulletproof glass until the cops show up.
The third claim involved a link to a photograph posted on the photographer's site. The court had no trouble concluding that the link was not copyright infringement, rightly noting that the photographer authorized the communication of the work by posting it on his website.
This is a perfect example. Artist puts links up on website. If he doesn't wany anyone linking to his stuff, he should post with watermarks, or he could *GASP* remove the picture from his site, effectively breaking all the links. There's no need to go crying to the nearest court.
the 18 and 32 cent coins, while statistically more efficient for returning change per transaction, it'll be a LOT harder for people to do "fast" math resulting in it taking longer to get your change as the cashier attempts to count by 18's or 32's. Pennies, nickles, dimes and quarters make it easy to count to 100. They are nice round numbers that divide easily into 100. 18 and 32 don't.
Besides, there's already a problem with cashiers giving incorrect change. This will just compound the problem.
He does admit that there is a piece of the video that shows the BTV logo, but he insists that's about the only thing that might be infringing (and that would actually be trademark, not copyright).
Even with this, the courts are starting to wise up and support the first amendment. There was an article a few days ago where an artist portrayed famous scenes. The school tried to issue take downs for using the school colors on the uniforms in the paintings.
But I have to agree, copyright and trademark are 2 completly different animals...and the DMCA crap can just go away!!

Actually, the news started going downhill in 1981 after Walter Cronkite retired as anchorman for CBS. So, yeah, I guess that's a little longer than I thought.
Pro-IP agenda, don't you mean propaganda? Also, the press has been corrupt for a couple of years now. I've stopped watching network news for that reason. As sad as it sounds, I get my news from satire shows like The Daily Show and Colbert Report.
Ever since Corporations have become people, our government is no longer "for the people, by the people". Oh, wait...Yes they are, they just changed the definition of people.
