The US Copyright Compendium states that “authorship”, which is a prerequisite for copyright, requires a human author. In previous cases copyright in natural patterns such as wood patterns has been rejected. If the purported author is a non-

In the case of a debit, say, is the account receiving the money always the ODFI? Can you do an ACH transfer from one client’s account at bank A to another client’s account at bank B, with you using a third financial institution to process t

Before they switched to cards, did they have a coin change machine? My own building was only built in the 2000s and has a single coin operated machine. It was also fairly cheap. I suspect that many conversions are funded and operated by an

Even if you could quantify it, I don’t agree with the 10x ratio that the original author proposes. Early in the development process, you will be implementing “low hanging fruit”—features that are easy, and provides great value. Lower priori

Certainly, it just makes it less suspect that it’s on SourceForge at all. (Unless SourceForge lets you rename projects? Then it could be an old placeholder project that’s been renamed to truecrypt.)

On the other hand, SourceForge lists the project as having been created in 2004: http://sourceforge.net/projects/truecrypt/

They also mention 10 months as the term of the advance, and I think that’s for the same $10k/$11k example. Assuming equal payments of $1,100 every month, that would make the APR about 23%. There’s an element of equity here because if s

I think the key here is how “in the course of the Employment” should be interpreted. Is it anything that happens during the dates you are employed, or is there a requirement of some connection to the employment?

To put it more succinctly: my private key has potentially been compromised, not my certificate. By generating a new private key (which implies a new certificate), I can protect against non-MITM eavesdropping for non-PFS ciphers.

This is all kind of pointless for my silly personal blog, so you could view it as a symbolic way of registering my displeasure with StartCom ;-) To answer your question, suppose I think my key has been compromised. Then I don’t want to cont

I went through ssls.com, which for some reason is cheaper than Namecheap even though they’re owned by Namecheap.

I think some people are exaggerating how aware Class 1 customers were of the revocation policy. It’s in the FAQ, but the site also advertises “100% Free”. I think the expectation is that free services have automated infrastructure, and that

The $24.90 fee also applies to paying Class 2 customers. Only EV certificates get free revocation from StartCom. My own personal blog (not very critical) has a Class 2 certificate, and I decided to switch to a Comodo PositiveSSL ($5/ye

I am a paid StartCom customer with a Class 2 certificate, and they’re charging us the fee too.

Paying Class 2 customers, like myself, are also charged the fee. Their basic free Class 1 certificates are advertised on their website as “No Charge, Unlimited + 100 % Free” and “No Kidding 100% FREE”. It wasn’t hard for me to find the prov

From the customer’s point of view there’s not much to complain about. If you’re maintaining a CA trust store, it might be a little different. The CA can adopt any pricing structure they want, but the one they’ve chosen will lead some custom

There are multiple ways of looking at a company’s value. What you describe is usually called “enterprise value”. Other measures of value are the market value of equity and the book value of equity. All are valid and useful for different thi

I use ledger as the treasurer of a small nonprofit with similar cash flow, and it works great. I keep the files in a git repository. Next I am going to automate some of the bookkeeping based on PayPal and Stripe transactions.

This may not change your view of whether their salary is high or low, but keep in mind that like most public sector workers, they are not eligible for Social Security benefits, and don’t pay Social Security taxes.

Does it matter how much the charge is? Personally I would appreciate a reminder of a $100+ charge, but I don’t want 2 emails (reminder + receipt) for every $5 recurring charge.
