What is bothering me about this is that the Executive Branch (DOJ) is investigating the Executive Branch (CIA) for spying on the Legislative Branch (Intelligence Committee). How hard could the DOJ possible push this?
No, I think you missed the point. He is saying that they are welcome to keep things out of the public domain, they just have to pay through the nose for the privilege. Maybe do an progressive tax. So say Mickey Mouse gets taxed at 5% the first decade, 15% the second, 40% the third, 75% the fourth, and 95% for the rest of the time after.
I might be ok with this as long as it goes both ways. You take your tax on my broadband connection and then I can download whatever I want. Sound good? No? Didn't think so.
I read on my phone as well, but I just can't imagine zoning out and reading on my Google Glass. But then again, I haven't tried it so maybe I would enjoy it. In any case, I would try not to be a creep.
I don't see the problem with Google telling people not to "glass out." I guess I'm not really sure why someone would read a book on Google Glass anyway.
And in general, telling people not to be creeps is fine by me in any case.
Whether its labels ducking royalties, horrific contracts, or movie studios using hollywood accounting practices to keep as much money as possible out of the creative folks' hands
I think you've completely missed who is getting paid for their creativity.
And, apparently, because the Olympic Committee thinks everyone in the world is a moron who won't recognize that a MacBook with a piece of tape over the Apple is still a MacBook.
Depends on how big of a hurry these morons are in. This is the Olympics after all, so they could be in quite the hurry.
I like the addition of extra spaces at the end of the lines, but it seems like you could easily encrypt FAR more data if you made the spaces themselves vary in width. Or maybe vary the distance between each consecutive character in the sentence.
I am not a cryptography expert, but it seems like you could break it down on smaller parts of the original document.
So they added technical enhancements to the software to prevent abuse but their search function can't find all occurrences of "Verizon"? Hmm, seems fishy.
The son of a guy who mowed lawns in our neighborhood was recently shot and killed by police after an alleged car jacking. The police commander made the following statement to the media, "This young man made a bad choice and paid for it with his life."
I find this sickening that police officers get to make the decision on how that young man was to pay for his crime. That is assuming he even did it since no cop actually witnessed it happening.
If police want the trust and respect of the community, they need to have a 180 attitude adjustment over their role in that community.
Well, it seems that if they like what they do and want to stay for the flat rate pay, then good for them. I think what I was getting at was that mediocre teacher would be there until they didn't feel the money was worth it and then move on. One does not preclude the other.
Something seems awry here. If Norway wants to let Norwegians use items produced by Norwegians in Norway any way they want, isn't that their right - international treaties be damned?
I would figure international treaties would only come into play if either Norway was offering all non-Norwegian content for free or if it was giving Norwegian content to a foreign country for free.
Although, maybe treaties don't work like interstate commerce in the US.
