Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc. and J. K. Rowling vs. RDR Books (575 F.Supp.2d 513) is a copyright lawsuit brought on 31 October 2007 by the media company Warner Bros. and Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling against RDR Books, an independent publishing company based in Muskegon, Michigan. Lawyers for Rowling and Time Warner argued that RDR's attempt to publish for profit a print facsimile of The Harry Potter Lexicon, a free online guide to the Harry Potter fictional universe, constituted an infringement of their copyright and was not protected by the affirmative defense of fair use. The trial was held from 14–17 April 2008 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In September 2008, the court ruled in Rowling's favor, and publication of the book was blocked.

You can disable plugins by going to the plugin panel of about:addons. As far as I can remember you've always been able to disable plugins through some means or another. Unless you're talking about something else?

Likewise. Having built computers and nursed them until death, having bought new and used laptops, having tech supported family computers and dealt with tons of office computers; buying this macbook pro made computing such a better experience.

The only bad news is Lion :S

There'd be nothing stopping the artist (or their estate) from selling it too.

It's checked for me before the last couple of updates. Maybe it's a setting somewhere?

Bind exposé to a hot corner, and your problems with finding windows will be over forever.

Um, what? Someone is actually selling bottle NYC tap water and people love it. Check out this article. Here's a choice quote:

If you want a cable you're frequently moving around to last for ages, you probably don't want a "solid" one. Stranded wire will be less likely to break.

Tomato was the only firmware I could get to be stable on a WRT54GL. It was a rock though. Give it a look.

Are you running n or g? Does MIMO still work?

I worry about liability. While the GPL and other licenses can disclaim liability all they like, a litigious user could still file a lawsuit, forcing the developer to spend money defending themselves. I have a Firefox extension that I've avoided releasing for exactly that reason.

What you're describing is a "plurality."

Majority: More than half (50%) of some group

Plurality: A number of votes for a single candidate or position which is greater than the number of votes gained by any other single candidate or position voted for, but which is less than a majority of valid votes cast.
