I think they also want to make it clear to everybody that they are not paying for stolen goods. Perhaps if they tell everybody the drunken birthday boy story, people will not get a bad taste in their mouth when they hear that Gizmodo paid 5k to get access to that phone.

??? Free does not define where..

Usually working for the airline means you are standby. and depending on which airline you work for they have rules as to which seats you can stand by for. There is no "free section"

Furthermore.. its never free.. There are always tax or airport fees which are not under the control of the airline. it is up to the airport where the airline operates.

I'm 28 and have been flying standby for my entire life as both of my parents are employees of major airlines. I used to fly Toronto-Ottawa for $7 total. Now the cost is almost $80 after all of the Security Service Charges, or Airport Improvement Fee.... Bla Bla Bla

Being an amateur enthusiast photographer, I regularly upload my pictures directly to flickr, which applies the CC licence and then upload from there to Wikimedia, which is effectively Wikipedia. I have even found a number of my pictures that have worked their way into Wikipeida, which are licenced properlly and linked back to my flickr account by some complete stranger who was able to find my work on flickr.

Specifically the picture of Slash was mine taken at a show in NYC, with a small point and shoot.

This story of free photography is not new to me.
People like me who take pictures because they enjoy doing so and enjoy the idea of licencing their pictures with the Creative Commons are becoming quite a hot topic with pros.

I just spent 2 weeks volunteering at Ottawa Bluesfest. As a volunteer i get free access to the entire festival. For starters this festival allows any camera for anybody, which is quite rare. I know NIN allows this on their last tour but i am not aware of any other festival that has relaxed camera policy. The only advantage as a volunteer I got was to sit backstage and talk to the photographers between sets. every picture I took was from general admission and not backstage or in the photo pit, which oddly enough was where i was a volunteer.

Their main complaint was that people like me were flooding the market with free "good enough" photographs. while there was no argument that their work was better. But I was permitted to stand in general admission for the entire set and shoot as long as i wanted, with this "machine gun" shooting strategy almost anyone can get a decent picture or 2, While the pro's were only permitted to shoot for 2 or 3 songs. Is this fair? I think so but that's another story.

The pro's I talked to were strongly against any free photography and every pro i talked to was sure to add "and stop using flickr" as part of the advice given.

Is this a market that will flip upside down, just like music sales..? Maybe
Are the pro's stuck on the current path and unwilling to change..? For sure
Will pros start giving pictures to Wikipedia..? Not the ones I Taked to.
Do I love the fact that I am contributing to Wikipedia by providing better photographs..? Yes!

Nowhere is it asserted in the text that Lot is a great biblical hero. Like most people in extreme circumstances, his actions range from good and faithful to completely despicable. The original readers would have found that encouraging - and obvious.

I'm sure you in your air-conditioned office unschooled in Hebrew narrative techniques, not surrounded by rioting people and completely unthreatened by an incoming missile would be able to sympathise completely.

The Abit BP6 kicked butt for the time - 1999 or so. It was an SMP board that used Celerons on top of a 440BX Intel chipset and you could overclock them from here to next week. It was the first time I saw an overclocking menu built in to a BIOS. I'm sure I got a dual-500Mhz configuration after enough fiddling and pointing fans at the case.

Windows 98 only saw the one CPU of course but LFS saw both and was responsive in a way I haven't really experienced since.

Sad news.

Merely restating your point does not make it any more valid than it was the first time around.

I wonder if you could take out an "ad" with certain calculus notes buried within it...like having the Ideal Gas Equation or Hooke's Law as a tiny part of a graphic... ^_^

If you don't care for that analysis, here's another.

I find it interesting that you are complaining about the last eight years in the US, yet the article is about Europe...

I'm referencing the U.S. because I'm a resident of the U.S., and have more knowledge of the U.S. government's various malfeasances than I do of the U.K.'s.

And no one was "complaining". I was merely pointing out that the OP's claim that a government is somehow more trustworthy than a "grey hat" is patently absurd.

IMO, it shows the anti-US sentiment, apparently because of the US's more or less high position in the world, as opposed to many European countries that are trying to rival it with the EU, etc., but failing.

IMO, you're reading way too much into my remarks, Sparky.

And yet, The UK and Europe have far worse "wire-tapping" sorts of things than the US. But it's not in vogue to complain about it anywhere but in the US, it seems.

Could you please explain your point, seeing as how you have seemed to have made mine for me at this juncture?

Granted....I'm just making the suggestion based upon the available information that says a Trojan will be involved, which will almost certainly be only written in the M$ flavor...90% of market share and all...

However, as interest in Linux increases, it's only a matter of time before The Powers That Be take notice, and mucking with a repository would be a great way to snare an unsuspecting Linux user. All the more reason to support the growing Paranoid Linux movement...I don't know exactly how effective this sort of thing would be in the real world, but unfortunately, it looks like we're going to have to find out.

But, of course, if your machine is behind a firewall, they'll just outlaw having firewall because it impedes their ability to investigate you for crimes.

Actually, if you live in Michigan, this has already happened.

Unless this law has been repealed since 2003 (and I've been unable to find any evidence that it has), then I and everyone I know is a felon.

because with the government there is accountablity, responsilibty, a paper trail, transparency

Indeed...one need only look at the last eight years in the U.S. for the proof of this statement.

Oh, wait...
