Objective is write a ticket, ohhhh crap my pen ran out of ink let me call Barney, he carries extra pens in case he has to fill out a bite report from the K9.
It would make me laugh my A$$ off if Blockbuster went out of business and NetFlix and Redbox then refused to release movies from Warner Bros., Universal and Fox until the 28 day period hits. Would serve them right.
I recall reading an article a couple years back about how thieves have figured out how to defeat most of the chipped keys. It would explain why car theft insurance on a new model car isn't $1/year since it would be impossible to steal or use..
Its Simply Horrifying if this case dies and here is why
Take for example the recent findings the hairless mole rats are incapable of getting cancer due to a specific gene or sequence of genes. Now lets say MegaBuckethead insurance company has a research staff that discovers this sequence in some humans and patents it just to hide it from use. They then sell/license this information to the highest bidder in the insurance game and that insurance company cleans house of all people without this sequence.
Or take for example the CCR5 gene, delta 32, which is believed to be the reason some survived the Bubonic Plague and has also been indicated in HIV immunity(dunno if that's still holding true). Imagine if after the discovery of the plague resistance this information was patented and banned from research for other scientists?
Information about genetics belongs to the public, and should be shared for the greater good. Period.
Then perhaps its time we redefine the term. When I was in high school 70% of the campus were "undiscovered" sex offenders. Current statistics put that at 77%.
Is there a license agreement? Could it restrict this?
The internet archive idea is a good one. Another approach to something like this could be a good use of Peer to Peer technology. If a set of documents is scattered across several systems (with parity so that partial sets could be reconstructed like in a RAID drive array) then it could eliminate the single point of failure here for the archived copies.
Umm normally I agree but in this case it was more likely not a tribute to the man, the star, or his career, but...
Hey lets make some money off this dead guy, if we act all pious we can capitalize on his success for free!
If they want to do a tribute show a quick dedication at the start of the show is all it takes. If they want to use the mans music they should pay the same fees they would have a month ago.
If Mike doesnt keep TechDirt at the top of the keyword search for Amazon the morons of the world have no hope that an Amazon board member will ever see the problems the Prime program is causing.
the sad part is that will continue to be until countless kids are killed in one of these massacres where nobody can make a call. Schools have become a heaven for those with Napoleonic dreams of control and dictatorship.
Their record would be sealed if they commit no other crimes. One additional misdemeanor and its part of their permanent record. Of course being a felony sex crime it may be permanent anyway.
I will always downplay the value of a Monster Cable Product compared to its competing products.
There is a difference between vigorously defending your trademark and being a bully. IMHO what they are doing are being a bully, and no amount of corporate spin will correct this persons opinion.
