  Re: Re: not in the school I work for! (at least until they fire me hehe)

  5. The student at the back of the class will also be camcorder-ing your lectures and Xeroxing your instructional materials, and putting them up on the Internet. He will be making money off of ads that are placed alongside all this, but you won't get any.
  
  If you camcorder yourself and xerox (would be better to scan) your instructional materials and then put this on Internet YOU can make money off the adds.

  Re: online freedom union

  this union would then just end up carrying out these kinds of actions to serve their own ends and not 'freedom'
  put a bunch of people together to fight for a cause and they end up looking after themselves - it is human nature

• On the post: Another Bad French Ruling Against Google Over Trademarked Adwords

  

  Yangyang ( profile ), 05 Feb, 2009 @ 10:58pm

  French law

  "There's no customer confusion (the point of trademark law)"
  
  I assume this is the law in the USA, but is it the law in France or Europe?
  
  If the law is different, no matter what the opinions are, the judges have to rule on the law.
  
  Voilà

  Ladies and Gentlemen; The great firewall of England

  Great! They retracted, but they are only a notch less pernicious than the Chinese government.
  Who are they to tell me what is offensive or not?
  Its just disguised censorship - sad way to go.

  Re: Get a clue, folks!

  Because these over-reacting governments often use religion as the reason for the repression of their people.
  Some religions repress women, some repress homosexuals, some repress both and other groups. There are few, if any, religions out there which are not into repression in some form or another.
  I guess religions do not like people to think. Otherwise these thinkers would soon come to see their religion for what it is. Emptiness to fill the void of the meaning of life. Personally, i prefer Monty Python's take on that theme.

• On the post: Sitting At Your Desk Not Good For Productivity?

  

  Yangyang ( profile ), 07 Nov, 2007 @ 02:01am

  raisable desks

  I once saw a desk which could go up and down at the touch of a button. So, when you are tired of sitting down, you just hit that button and spend a couple of hours working standing up.
  That's a workeable alternative.

  Re: Re: Re: ROFL

  Yea Dude, I know this, but you can be screwed up without being a necrophiliac.
  Anyway, i checked my own name in google and my name came up first. How about that for an ego-trip.
  Btw, you did not say what was wrong with crossdressing.

  Curious too why you would choose necrophilia as an example of a screwed up person.

• On the post: India Won't Patent Minor Modifications In Drugs

  Re: Re: Not certain USELESS innovation is a good b

  I see your point, but it is more about useless patents rather than useless innovation.
  I think Mike made a typo and it should be 'useful innovation'. The big drug companies can then put down patents and make big profits on these innovations. They would thus be generating new drugs, not trying to profit from slightly changed old drugs.

  "What Novartis wants is to focus on marginal, useless innovation for the sake of keeping monopoly profits." Not certain USELESS innovation is a good business model

• On the post: Special Interests Look To Stop Patent Reform; Should Reformers Just Give Up?

  It is undeniable that narrow-minded ignorant people think that by using offensive language and systematically criticizing the world around them they are vastly superior.
  However, it is quite the opposite. This low-life race of inferior beings deep inside know they are just that and can only comfort themselves by displaying this kind of antisocial behavior.
  I feel sorry for Angry Dude. He is the only person who does not realize just how stupid he is.

  This is assuming that everyone writing or signing a contract knows what they are doing.
  Even for a very big contract and a whole bunch of lawyers, i would not bet on it.

  This, of course, from the perspective of someone desperately trying not to hate this nation.
