I installed a private Wiki for my small business and it is heavily used as our corporate knowledge base. We add to it daily. At a minimum it is a shared contacts database but it is much more as well.
I have also often thought that other wikis could and should layer upon Wikipedia, linking to it, but not expecting many if any links back. Ultimately, I expect many wikis to be similarly layered, the combination representing the variety of opinions, and the core, Wikipedia, representing our common sense.
The title of this article is confusing. I think it is meant to say the net effect on jobs will be zero. But since the debate on SOPA is Entertainment vs. Internet companies, a "Net Job" sounds like a job in the tech sector, which entertainment don't give a shit about.
You may not see those things as your rights, but you should. They are yours (and mine) and we (the public) bought and paid for them by granting their creators their limited monopolies.
The March 2011 earthquake in Japan caused earth's sidereal day to decrease by some milliseconds. Should the time standards be adjusted after every earthquake? How about when the ice caps melt and rotation slows down by a lot?
It's complicated, but I still like noon being the exact time when the sun is highest in the sky.
And when you're a tool of the propaganda machine, you're Judith Miller.

In this case, the price tag is easy to compute using the original contract as a baseline. No assumptions needed. In discovery I would be asking for the advertisers' eyeball estimates.
It's scary how many sites with important financial data do this. So, someone asks them selves what happens if the change the URL to say UserID=5618, and they find themselves viewing Sheriff Hogg's secret slush fund.
DOJ wants to be able to charge such people with hacking. It's quick and easy and they don't have to think much harder than the morons who created the site.
“A sound mark depends upon aural perception of the listener which may be as fleeting as the sound itself unless, of course, the sound is so inherently different or distinctive that it attaches to the subliminal mind of the listener to be awakened when heard and to be associated with the source or event with which it is struck.”
So now we can have findings of fact about the subliminal mind?
I also disagree that Nina Paley has an a priori right (called "freedom" in the article) to modify RMS test. She would only have that right if he granted it to her. He hasn't. So, she should not claim he is infringing on her "freedom".
It's also a little weird of her to talk about rights and use the word freedom instead as a synonym, when it isn't a synonym, and it just sullies her point.
I'm with rms on this one. How does one even sample or remix or mash up writing anyway?
Karl and others may call it hypocritical. I call it critical, as in critical thinking, i.e., the opposite of ideology. So another +1 to rms (on top of the mega +1's he's already accumulated) for not taking his good ideas too far.
The problem with eBooks is their low barrier to entry means they will soon enough become like the contents farms (eHow, etc) that are nothing more than crowd-sourced or slave-scraped tripe.
