It's an unreasonably effective cliché.

I agree. Many general practitioners in Australia use the same practice management software which was initially developed by an unsatisfied general practitioner who taught himself programming. He also kept practicing medicine which is really

Thank goodness Google is looking out for my privacy! It's doing about as good of a job at that as it is in upholding my right to decide what apps to run on my device. It's remarkable that all that so-called "unmaintainable co

That's the Copyright Office's view. What the law means is decided by the judiciary, not the executive.

I'm willing to assume this is not a misunderstanding at all. It's either satirical or pointing out an effect which at first blush might seem counterintuitive. I found it amusing.

What's the case? From what I've read, there is no case law on whether an X-ray meets the creativity requirement.

>registration is a pre-requisite to suing If this is so, could you approach the court if you disagree with their interpretation? I'd be surprised if the Copyright Office was the be all and end all of whether copyright subsists in a

I guess we will only know when a court determines the issue. I am having a great deal of difficulty seeing how an X-ray differs from ordinary photography where the shot is pre-set but nevertheless subject to some human decision-making. It

You've raised a good point in relation to school portraits. Perhaps creative effort is a result of direction from the photographer (smile?).

Someone here linked a page which said in the US there is no federal case law on whether an X-ray is copyrightable. If that's wrong, what law do you refer to? In some of my other replies you'll see some of my thoughts on how an X-r

What I'm curious about is how you distinguish this from ordinary photography. What sets an X-ray apart? For starters, without knowing, I suspect it is not necessary that you "preview" the result before taking the photograph,

That's an interesting point. I'm not a copyright lawyer, or a radiologist for that matter. Is lining up the X-ray equipment and hitting the go button perhaps sufficient? The radiologist must have some idea about the result they w

I see no reason to distinguish the position as between a medical image and any other image. (IANAL etc.) The person who shot it owns the copyright, except, as it was created during employment, copyright is probably owned by the employer. An

There are free and open source transcoders for H264 and H265 available now, most notably FFmpeg. The symbolic dollar is for a commercially released decoder binary, but that's not the only option. These closed formats are typically pate

The thing that I can't get my head around is how they could iteratively test their code given the (presumably) slow speeds of compilers back in the day. In other words, how did they write code and make sure it worked as expected? Surel

I'm afraid I can't help you. I'm not sure whether Googlers here can either. I'd be surprised if they are allowed to modify user accounts outside the established processes. I would recommend anyone who values their Google

Aside from the significant cost benefit, double edge razors are functionally better at cutting - particularly three-day growth. I find cartridge razors will clog up well before they lose sharpness. Double edge razors, on the other hand, are

The choice of tech stack for a desktop application seems like an interesting basis to claim a company has lost touch with its core values.

How has 1Password lost sight of its core values? Perhaps you refer to loss of local vaults? If so, they were never really a viable option for me - I needed the app syncing across multiple devices, including mobile, and doing so with a third

Clearly I stand corrected in relation to the private regime predating that Statute. I'd given it no thought, and didn't even consider it could be characterised as "copyright law". My apologies to the parent poster.

Well, that still falls well short of "control [of] the mass distribution of information [the government] doesn't like".

by YPPH 4y ago
It was not the original purpose of copyright law for the government to control the flow of adverse information, and it hasn't had that effect either. That might be a basis for laws around treason or sedition, but not copyright. One can

I guess so, but I'm not sure picking or bumping residential locks is heard of where I live. Last time I was burgled they used a crowbar to force entry by breaking the lock. Even that's rare. The overwhelming majority of burglaries

Nice. My "library" consists only of Abloy Protec2 and BiLock NG locks. It's interesting to see some of the others out there. One lock this article doesn't refer to is EVVA MCS, which uses a magnetic element as well. I ho
