To be perfectly honest, I was so pleased to remember about Long v. Ballantine that I stopped reading at that point and came here to post. With that said, I don't see how Ars later characterizes the clip as anything but fair use. Looking spe

Ars claims this is "as clear-cut a case of fair use as can be imagined", but courts have established that political use, while an important factor weighing in favor of fair use, is not the only factor, particularly when concerning the whole

It looks like Lang's crease patterns are the output of his TreeMaker software. While they're derived from Lang's stick figure constructions in the software, Morris probably could have created very similar patterns using the same software wi

No, it depends on state, and it is (in all states?) more subtle than that. Speaking broadly, the intruder must enter unlawfully and/or forcibly, and you must have a reasonable belief they intend to commit some felony. Generally law merely c

Keys stick all the time. This is usually fixed by updating LWJGL to the latest version. See http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Update_LWJGL (Not that this justifies the bug in stock configuration).

I must confess that I plug in unknown USB sticks quite frequently, and even knowing the risk, I probably won't stop. I work part-time at a reception desk (the computer has access to nothing important). The assumption seems to be that found

On the other hand, what constitutes "working to prevent the publishing or airing of commentary" may well be fairly minimal. I can imagine a response of "we wrote to the publisher and asked them to not publish anything about you again." I ce

Where are you getting your figure for total incident solar energy? Using 174 10^15 W total solar flux from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_energy_budget#Incomin... I'm getting 5.5 10^24 J/yr ~= 5,500,000 EJ/yr (all wavelenghts).

How is execution different than 150 years in prison, aside from the chance to be exonerated later? Madoff's life is just about as thoroughly destroyed as Wu's. They will both die in prison. I dislike capital punishment for several reasons,
