Ha. In my CS program, the weed-out course wasn't pseudo-assembly (which was really introduction to the grammar of computer languages), but Combinatorics and Optimization. This lawyer is here to tell you that it was a very effective course for weeding out the unready.
Peak Oil and energy prices aren't a problem, or rather they're a solution to a bigger problem. What we need most right now is oil prices high enough to discourage consumers and companies from pulling more oil up from the ground and burning it. The world is burning, and we need to stop subsidizing oil (one of the reasons why solar is doing better in Germany than the US; oil's more expensive there), start making companies and consumers pay the real costs of carbon emissions, and put government and the markets to work lowering the price of the alternatives.
Personally, I'm gonna wait until the console is released before I decide to buy it or not.
Not likely. Of course they did lose track of the church he was buried under the first time....
Or the depleted uranium.
I believe the gentleman you are referring to is from Bruges.
I would pay money for this.
It is an open question as to whether Rob Ford's career is over; he can run again in the next election, and he might even win.
Just looking at the statute, and it's complicated but it looks to me like the rule is that you can get any actual damages you can prove, or elect before the end of the trial to get statutory damages. The statutory damages would be between $100 and $5000 for non-commercial infringers, jointly and severally. Which essentially means that if you file a lawsuit with 10 infringers and 1000 songs each, if you elect stat damages you're limited to at most $5k for all the infringers. Which is kinda nifty. And very very tricky. Stat max for commercial infringers if you take this option is $20k.
Maybe I should get into copyright law.
I think you're essentially correct, with the caveat that I don't know whether the cap is per infringer or per infringing song. I'm sure you can appreciate the difference. It's still better than minimum statutory damages.
Er, the cap is $5000, and the injured party has to prove actual damages.
Bunch of commies.
Ahem, excuse me sir, but I believe the proper term is "Canuckistanis". Sorry to bother you.
From the article:
"At the moment, Canada is arguably more restrictive than even the U.S., though the digital lock rules do not carry significant penalties for individuals. Under Canadian law, it is not an infringement to possess tools or software that can be used to circumvent digital locks and liability is limited to actual damages in non-commercial cases."
The liability limitation will likely take some of the sting out of the lock provision, as will the $5000 cap on damages for non-commercial infringement. Looks like a bit of a legislative hack, but I suspect that if you're ripping your dvds to stream them around your house you won't have much to worry about (no damages to speak of), and even if you're torrenting your rip, the damages would be pretty low (less than $5000), which is not going to make a big inviting target for the CRIA to attack. Of course, YMMV, I am not your lawyer, etc etc.
This.
Well, I'd rather mess with my body as little as possible when it comes to stuff like this. Vaccines aren't always a sure fire bet, and something like AIDS warrants extra circumspection. I'll wait for version 1.5 or 2.0, or 3.0, thanks.
See, this is why they're doing phase I trials on people who are already infected with HIV. You know, like it says in the summary?
This also mitigates the risk of unwanted kids as well as the unjust pressure feminist law has foisted on society in the context of relationships.
What the fuck are you talking about, and what the fuck does it have to do with the article? You know what? Never mind, I don't want to know.
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
