I was trying to avoid having to nitpick every bit of it, which is why I gave references. How many people have only sung "Happy Birthday" at home, but never in a restaurant or any other public place?

Here's the rest of your quote, starting right after that "no" -

"Royalties are due, of course, for commercial uses of the song, such as playing or singing it for profit, using it in movies, television programs, and stage shows, or incorporating it into musical products such as watches and greeting cards; as well, royalties are due for public performance, defined by copyright law as performances which occur "at a place open to the public, or at any place where a substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances is gathered." So, crooning "Happy Birthday to You" to family members and friends at home is fine, but performing a copyrighted work in a public setting such as a restaurant or a sports arena technically requires a license from ASCAP or the Harry Fox Agency (although such infringements are rarely prosecuted)."
Hm, sounds like the most reasonable thing to do. Thanks!

Since they are doing this big change, is there a way to make it more secure on the user side, too? Like encrypt the traffic and make it impossible for RIAA to track IP's?

Also since they say that it's like every user would have the TPB site on their computer, does it mean blocking the site would be completely useless? And since they are just links, and links are pretty much speech, I figure it would be impossible to turn it into law as well, to specifically target magnet based sites like TPB.
If you're still giving them away, i'd love to give your how-to a try. I've made 10 apps so far, they're all handy utilities i thought would be useful, and when i speak to people about them most people agree they sound useful, but i struggle to do marketing and as such make very few sales.

If your how-to is successful, i'd be thrilled.

I would go with Fastmail if you want someone else to host it - but if your email is very important to you, you should be running your own server, or hosting with someone you know and trust on a personal basis. Anything else is susceptible to the "scary letter" attack where they threaten your service provider with something awful, and the service provider shuts you down because it's easier to lose a non-paying (or $10/month) customer than it is to deal with some pissed-off law firm or transnational corp.
I think you need to explain a bit more. I can guess where you're going, but a cursory glance at the article does not say what I thought it would say. The title is pure linkbait. This seems nothing more than a public effort to galvanize the private sector into accomplishing what OpenID, Open Social, etc, tried to do. Now of course, the article is very lacking on technical details, so it could be much, much more malicious. But you haven't given any credible information to help explain why.

People telling you to just throw up your own server are only giving you half the story. Just installing the software isn't even half the work to creating a setup that actually gets your outbound mail delivered reliably, then monitoring the RBL status of your server. It's a full time job, pay someone a few bucks to do it.
The install base is what matters, not sales numbers for a short time period.

They say a friendly reminder would have been enough, which implies they didn't get any notice except a DMCA take down.

It's inappropriate response from the Bitcoin developers.

My understanding of Bing's "success" is that much of it has been in contracted search -- setting up Bing as the default search service for specific sites and/or online services, or something like that. No, I don't know specifics, but it's similar to earlier games MSFT played with IIS numbers -- setting up IIS as the default "parking" domain for some large domain registrars.

Deliverability will be terrible. EC2 is a haven for spam so it's constantly turning up in blacklists. Running an SMTP server on a cloud provider is not smart.
That was my reaction too. I mean, no one likes to die but if we look at it objectively - death is one of the very effective ways in which society changes from old ideas to new ideas. In a hypothetical scenario where every generation lives till 120, I would assume that current US congress will probably continue with the same members for so long (if you notice, most of them keep getting re-elected so many times). And that would mean no infusion of new ideas. It would also means abolishing of social prejudices like slavery, child marriages etc would have taken a lot longer.
InfoCentral: Mayweather v Pacquiao
Bill Gates: Better Than Batman? [infographic]
Actually my original algorithm did exactly that. The problem with that approach is the amount of energy required to change the cell voltage by 0.1V goes up exponentially once it's below 3.5V, where the charge curve flattens out. An example would be a 40% state of charge battery could be 3.30V and a 60% state of charge battery would be 3.33V. When the batteries are usually about 1-3% difference in SoC, it become very difficult to balance them based on just looking at the voltage alone. The measuring error is probably more than the actual voltage difference. That why I decided to not bother balancing the battery once they are below 3.5V.

The numbers I'm getting is for LiFePo4. There are many other chemistry of Li-on variant, and LiFePo4 so far is the safest. It does not burn up like the ones in your laptop, but at the cost of slightly less energy density.

For every flight I've been on, the gate agent checks your ID against your ticket.

As long as you control the domain, that's really not very scary. Use IMAP so you always have a copy of your own mail on a computer somewhere, even if you also choose to access it over webmail/Gmail/whatever. If some provider shuts you down, open up somewhere else and you're back as fast as DNS caches expire. Running your own POP/IMAP server is simple, running your own SMTP server and keeping delivery reliable creates a bunch of extra work.
I don't know about the US, but this definitely doesn't work in Canada.

The the gate agents definitely always check ID with the boarding pass.

You absolutely do not have enough context to make that judgement. I doubt his company is curing cancer or colonizing mars, but do you really think poor intellectual property assignment policies alone make any company, bad? It is one of many, many axes and it doesn't override everything else.
FWIW, I have been on two flights today and on neither of them did the gate agent check my ID. This tactic would've worked fine.
This is easy to fix. Only terrorists use DOM editors, so we simply need to check all laptops when going through security.

The first time someone pointed this out, the FBI raided his house[1] and sparked a Senate investigation. This was four years ago. I did this to one of my Southwest tickets recently, though didn't use the forged copy.

I've not run into that in any of my recent flights. I've seen it happen for international travellers but not for any of the domestic ones. It may also have to do with the fact that my flights were completely full and took nearly an hour to finish boarding.
because part of that site talks about compatibility with different devices.

the phone on the left is a nexus s, which has the (now) older style of dedicated hardware buttons. the nexus prime on the right is apparently what newer devices are supposed to have, which are software buttons that are actually just part of the main lcd and the operating system reserves a section of the screen to draw them in software.

the big benefits of the newer style are that they can be hidden while playing movies or in other situations where they are not needed, they can be rotated when the device is rotated, and, maybe most importantly, the operating system now gets to control which buttons are there and in what order they're in. an annoying thing about the hundreds of different android phones prior to this was that every manufacturer seemed to put the 3 or 4 hardware buttons in a random order that made them inconsistent.
Second that -- my gf and I were actually shocked, when on a recent trip to the States (took about 7 flights in total) where the person at the gate only checked the boarding passes and not photo ID! We have added security up here because of the States, it seems like a lapse to not do this themselves. For example, when you board a flight to/from Canada, you have to show the boarding pass and photo ID, the person at the gate scans the ticket to see if everything checks out.
My point is that many engineers I meet seem to have this attitude that since they're an engineer, it's evidence that they're logical and rational in all aspects of life. A recent case in point is an old friend who told me that he liked the chances of his startup because they were all engineers and so made rational decisions about their business. I threw back at him that there are also tons of engineers I've met who fall in love with their technology and make blind stupid decisions because of it.

More cases in point. Many an engineer crashes and burns if ever promoted to management because he doesn't know how to communicate with people. Any quality manager would be able to resolve conflicts easily, and the required people skills can be justified quite logically. This isn't to say that all engineers are idiotic non-people people. This is saying that there's a selection bias that just because someone was good at something, they must be good at other things.

I see many more cases in situations of crisis, deadlines looming, etc. Bet if you up it to a situation of war, no engineer's brain would be able to survive and continue to think logically; only those who are properly trained for thinking will getting continuously mortared would be able to continue functioning. Still more examples out there in areas like marriage relationships, anything that involves dogma (whether political, religious, or scientific), etc.

My point is not that other people are smarter or more logical about the rest of life than engineers. My point is that engineers are not automatically smarter or more logical about the rest of life than other people.
You have absolutely no idea just how many internal enterprise applications are developed in C#. You don't see them, being that they are internal enterprise applications, but they do exist. And it's a huge market.
It is just for demonstration. My point is that you can do away with the header and still showing useful info for that section with this control.

Maybe something like alternate background color for sections and use the widget to display the section name.

The entire design of Bittorrent is predicated on clients advertising to each other which torrents they're seeding and which pieces are available. You can encrypt your traffic to get it past your ISP's deep packet inspection, but the peer at the other end has to be able to decrypt it. And you have no way of knowing what nefarious organization controls that peer.
In the days not long after 9/11, they used to check the ID both at the screening checkpoint and the gate, but in the last several (5+), they don't check at the gate. I'd assume it's a time-saving measure, but it does totally defeat the point of checking.
And wealthy. Don't forget the wealth.
Not only is my ID almost never checked at the gate, the agent hardly even compares the name on the paper to their flight information. So really, you could just print out the forged copy with your name on it and use it the whole way through.

And you believe it? Why? Google for solidcoin copyright. You can see the posts on bitcoin talk _months ago_ talking about this.

Looking for myself, it appears that they still haven't fixed the copyright notices. The file cited on the github page still has the mentioned code with nothing but a copyright notice by solidcoin.

And if there is no issue they could simply file a DMCA counternotice and get everything put back up.

DHS is a giant convoluted bureaucracy and it was designed to be such from the beginning. They don't actually have to, or really desire to make anybody safer at all. That's not the point of DHS at all. It's all just a series of checklists, and forms, and initiatives... and reports... all the way down. All anybody needs to do is go down the new checklist that somebody higher up gave them to fill out.
I'm interested in going to this - perhaps even giving a presentation. The website said it will be updated shortly. Do you have any information for this event?

In the US you are not required to have id to fly.

I hope it'd be illegal in the US to require it, not sure though.
That's not the point... John Doe buys a plane ticket and gets an electronic boarding pass — John uses Chrome Developer Tools or Firebug to change John Doe to Jane Terrorist. John Doe's name is checked against terrorism watch lists, but Jane Terrorist's name isn't. Jane Terrorist then presents a boarding pass with her actual name and she has an ID showing her name is Jane Terrorist. The TSA agents don't check terrorism watch lists at the checkpoint.

tl;dr: You can alter a boarding pass and circumvent the entire watch list process.

You must be a bitcoin developer because I can't see any reasonable person would suggest your first action in handling a situation like this is firing off a SOPA/DMCA claim for a missing mention in a text file. It's an open source project.
I agree. Please get rid of the way the back button currently works, Google. It should only go back within the app, and that's it. Just like your browser back button on your PC, doesn't affect any other app in the system.

And while you're at it, pretty consider getting rid of all the buttons altogether, and just use screen gestures, kind of like in N9's Meego. I keep getting this feeling that being there all the time, they are just wasting precious space.
> when you board a flight to/from Canada, you have
> to show the boarding pass and photo ID

They are looking to make sure that you have your passport more than looking for 'photo ID.' I flew into Canada over Xmas and they were specifically looking for your passport. Probably to make sure that there won't be any obvious gaffs once you land.

That said, on the domestic flight I took the TSA was at the boarding gate 'randomly' checking people as they were getting on the flight. So not everyone got checked for photo ID, but some people did.

This.

I worked in DC at a PAC for 3 years, and I can confirm that, without a doubt, lawmakers in Washington vote where either a) the money leads or b) the most ruckus gets stirred up, at least 90% of the time. Every congressperson has their pet causes (the other 10%) but for the rest, they're voting in large part based on those two factors. How could they not? There's simply too much going on to really learn about every issue that comes across their desk.

The ruckus matters.

That's exactly the problem. The user should intuitively understand an action. Since they don't, that means it's Google's fault for implementing it poorly.
