But I do see
It isn't that they don't "have the balls". The issue is that Microsoft cares more about keeping their clients/end users happy than they do about forcing you to buy a new OS. If you doubt this read Raymond Chen's blog some time. He has all kinds of stories regaling the lengths MS goes to make sure that random stupid ass program works on every OS version.
I think my subject line says it all. In fact if someone want to place a bet I'll take the it ain't happening line at 5 to 1 that at least 50% of people keep their wallet.
Online gambling is not a Federal crime (some States have laws prohibiting it). The 2006 UIGA only prohibits international money transfers. Further the same day as the seizure and arrests, Congress passed a law specifically setting the tax rate for online gambling in Washington, District of Columbia.
I can say this as someone who has read the law numerous times since its passage and followed this issue and the relevant case law for years.
You can read it for your self in 31 U.S.C. ÂÂ 5361â"5367:
found in the unit test area? Does that mean EMI (who owns the copyrights for the Beatles songs) could sue Google for copyright violation and get a percentage for each android handset even though the song "All You Need is Love" is not used in Android in any way whatsoever?
If Google placed MP3 copies in the Android repository as is the case here, then yes, EMI should sue Google. =P
Wow Florian, that's a creative interpretation of "not deleted". I presume that you mean, a user can still check out an older repository version and that version would contain the files in question. Let me make an equally creative counter-proposition. If the files were deleted from the tip of the repository but not from the history, that simply provides a historical record of exactly what was deleted. You can't make the information vanish from the past you know, unless you are also proposing some kind of time travel. You can only make information vanish from the present, that is, tip of tree.
I think his point was that the files were still being distributed. Meaning Google would still be committing copyright infringement. Until the files can no longer be accessed from any method from Google, then Google will still be infringing the copyright and will there for be legally liable for the offense.
Google cannot stop distributing the code to Android if there is GPL in there, right? Must they not make it available per the GPL license?
The GPL only conveys rights that the distributor has. In this case, if Google did not have the copyright (via creation or being granted directly or indirectly from the creator) then they can not grant those rights to others under the GPL. Further, anyone who distributed these sections could be found liable of copyright infringement.
In short, no.
$100 today is $80 the next day that makes that money worth -20% or less than zero.
You fail terribly at math. Less than zero means it is worth a NEGATIVE amount (example: -1). As in you OWE money. A good example of this is a loan certificate.
In your example the "100 dollar bill" has deprecated to a value of
Oh, I don't think it can go much below zero.
Really?
It has been used as wall paper, swept off the streets like rubbish, and in Germany, was used to burn to keep warm because it was cheaper than the amount of wood it would buy. It *can* be worth zero, or very nearly.
He said less than zero.
x < 0 =! x >= 0
On a side note my 100 billion Zimbabwe dollar bill always makes me chuckle.
Prof. Hanke's HHIZ measure indicated that the inflation peaked at an annual rate of 89.7 sextillion percent (89,700,000,000,000,000,000,000%) in mid-November 2008.
Then what steps should I take to prevent myself from coming up with the exact same thing at a later time through any method?
Let me ask you another question in response. What steps should you take from being shot in your living room? Drunk idiots, gangs, random nut jobs go on shooting sprees all the time. I live in a safe neighbor hood where this has never happened before but I am really concerned. So , "... what steps should I take to prevent myself from coming up with the exact same thing at a later time through any method?"
The law is simply a set of equitable rules that apply to everyone. If you really can't fathom that concept I don't know what to saw to you.
