MS Word has an auto-summary feature that is disturbingly good, but just because software can create a summary doesn't mean it can recognize a good one.
The day they write software that can recognize and appreciate a pun is the day they can dream about writing software that can recognize and appreciate a sound argument.
This sounds more like the kind of dumbing down we get from standardized testing. And I suppose if they really do want to reduce our children to mindless drones, then this is another step in the right direction
I know what the court would say in disagreeing with me; nevertheless, IMO selling (or even publishing) someone's criminal record constitutes a punishment not determined by the jury and is therefore unconstitutional.
I was wondering that myself. A read of 512(a) and especially (a)(2) may lead to that result--that these agreements place Yourube (typo, but I like it) outside the definition of service provider and unqualified to claim a safe harbor defense.
I think you'd be surprised at how many people would make their photos freely available for a project that seemed interesting.
You touch on another issue that I wonder about--the effect of all this documentation on memory. I have very few memories of my childhood. I also have very few pictures (and those mostly contextless class photos), and no film whatsoever. My daughter, on the other hand, has a multitude of photos and vides documenting most of the events of her life.
How will all that evidence effect her memories of her childhood?
Not all seats are created equal. Even a half full stadium may not have had any $25,000 seats available. But great scott! A $25,000 seat with an obstructed view?!?
Here's the word that needs to be tossed about more in asshole owner sports stories: monopoly. Owners get away with treating fans like dirt because they have a monopoly on their product in their region.
The objections raised seem to me a bit of nibbling about the edges. A vast majority of children do not fall within these objections. Fine, you've identified some potential tweaks, but as an attack on the bill, it is weak tea indeed. This isn't protect the children, it's defend parental rights.
The cries of "nanny state" are laughable silliness, this the the opposite of nanny state.
Luke: Rich, powerful. Listen, if you were to rescue her. The reward would be...
Han: What?
Luke: Well more wealth than you can imagine.
Han: I don't know. I can imagine quite a lot.
Right now, things are simple. almost every address ends in [dot] three letters. If it's government, it's .gov, if it's nonprofit, it's .org, anything else is probably .com
How is the public served by all this extra crap they have to remember?
And I agree completely, I am far less likely to visit .transformers than I am .com. If I have to type it in, I'm not going to bother.
The problem in this case is that it wan't being used in commerce, but PNC's bigger problem, as you point out right at the end, is that it's descriptive. This term should be (and if challenged, probably will be found) untrademarkable.
To Canada, I can say this has been a big problem affecting nearly all online services. For now, my answer is unblock.ca
This service routes you through a US IP address so you can watch US Netflix (Netflix Canada is pretty much of a scam) and hulu. I haven't tried it with a kindle, but it's worth looking into.
So let me see if I have this straight: in response to the problem of people texting during movies, Cinemark creates a system that encourages people to text during movies.
People who don't have smart phones, turn their phones off, or simply don't use them are ineligible for the reward, but a portion of their ticket money will be ised to fund the incentive for bad behavior.
And this is proposed as a better alternative to kicking people out for rude and disruptive behavior?
Your takedown doesn't address the phrase as I've always understood it.
Businesses make their money somewhere. If you are using a service you don't pay for, it's because they're selling the information they collect about you and feel they make enough from that that it's worth it for them not to charge you. It is true quite literally.
But then, I've never thought it meant free means bad treatment. Apparently someone does think that's what it means.
I can't help but notice the every country that contributed to the creation of the internet is red. If the black countries wish to censor and/or tax an internet, I fully support their right to create one and do whatever they wish with it.

Re: Unfair burden?
I don't understand the whole debate. I already pay sales tax on my online purchases. So WTF?

They're just noticing which way the winds are blowing.
"More expensive with less selection! That's what people are looking for in a streaming service!"
Netflix got a lot more expensive when they split their service and it their catalog gets smaller every month. WB is just taking it to the next level.

How about this: if more than 50% of a work is derivative of another work, then the creator receives no copyright in the resulting work.
Just kidding.
have more cash & Gold in the bank than you can imagine
Did anyone else think of this?

Did Dick Gregory break the law? Yes or no? The rest of this is just obfuscatory bullshit.
(By the way, NBC did contact DC police for permission and that permission was refused. They pulled this stunt knowing it was illegal.)
