I'm late to this conversation but I was mentioning this to a German friend and he mentioned that because of criticism of the plan they will not be instituting it until 2016 (and who knows what will change by then).

Simply because the content providers get no additional money from radio shack when I buy an antenna from them and put it on top of my set.
Would it be different if I rented the antenna from radio shack?
My apartment owner doesn't pay the content providers for renting me the apartment where I put the antenna. Why should this company have to pay them for renting me space in their warehouse?
I think this is actually a good idea - but not as an actual product. I think this was done purely for publicity, and as such it has done an excellent job.
Would I ever buy a book like this? No.
Without this book would I have heard of this publisher? Probably not, but now I have.
I'm personally just waiting for the next chapter in the blockbuster "The Carreon Effect". One of the most entertaining things I've seen this year, much better than "Prometheus".
In my experience the police are more likely than the ordinary citizen to lie, either direct or by omission. Thus their testimony should have less weight when there is nothing to corroborate what they are claiming. If there is any non-involved witness then I will give their testimony more weight than the police.
It is probably not true for everyone, but in all of my dealings with the police they have been power hungry, lying sacks of shit.
I watched the first episode and it was......hokey.
But I'm going to watch the second because I'm always looking for sci-fi on TV, even bad sci-fi.
I actually think the Corporations as good guys is how they are going to try to make it an interesting story - over time there will be conflict in the main character and how she slowly comes to the side of the revolutionaries. This will occur as she also realizes some of the seven are not hyper violent. The violent ones will be labelled as on the right side, but misguided in their methods. Because armed revolution is always wrong...
Ofcourse every link does, and it's easy to figure out.
All you have to do is go to a command prompt and type in nslookup followed by the website the link is hosted on.
So for google I would do:
nslookup google.com
The you take the numbers of the IP address - in my case the IP address is 209.85.148.139 and total those:
209 + 85 + 148 + 139 = 580
The higher this number is above 42, then the more likely that the sites links are infringing, and should not be clicked on. I won't personally click on any going to an IP address higher than 127.0.0.0
I used to be a chef, not too many years ago, and I remember we would put a lot of effort into the presentation. Some studies have even shown that presentation is one of the larger factors in whether someone enjoys a meal or not.
I remember the first time a waitress came to the kitchen, in probably 2002 or 3 and told us someone was taking pictures of our food.
We were proud of it when we heard, but apparently we missed the boat. I didn't realize we could be like aging rock stars and get future income from royalties that those thieves aren't paying now. I can just imagine those thieves flipping thru the photo album, and the sense of joy they have from stealing that picture.
"The folks at On the Media point us to a truly hilarious imagining by Tom Scott of what would happen after your physical body "died" in an age of both "The Singularity" and excessive copyright laws."
I think it's apparent that Mike was pointing out that this is an amusing idea, but something worth thinking about.
If I hadn't read the alchemist for free a couple of months ago I wouldn't even be contemplating buying any of Paulo's other books.
Now I'm going to buy 3 or 4, and if they are good I'll probably buy everything he writes in the future.
How has pirating hurt him?

Well that's good to know, I thought they had finally won against the pirates and that was why I couldn't find them on torrent sites lately.

A tourist or a transit visa should be enough to get there though, instead of a work visa.

I for one am sending Carreon email of support.
I don't want this shit to end!

Re: Re: Techdirt vandalized briefly
I've seen this a few times - I assume being in Europe puts your backup time in my mornings.
I always assumed network issues/slight hiccups and never thought more of it :)
I think next time I'll blame the unicorns, now that Mitt is all but confirmed as one they must be getting ready to take over.

Re: Re:
off topic but I read incest and got really confused :)
I do wonder what inquest you're worried about when they will care about all of your meals though!

I don't see a logical stretch here at all.
Re: Re: Re: credit card numbers
Not only that but they wanted all data for 6 months to try to find one person who may have bought one item from this site.
Looking at the site it appears that Sparkfun doesn't manufacture the items it sells. So who says the item was bought there?
Re:
If it includes a counter clockwise swirl and 1 finger insertion I already have that patent and would like to discuss licensing costs.
I used to enjoy reading Techdirt, now I come back daily for a dose of depression.
