"Bonaduce Dodged a Bullet Named Nitro" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-02 00:13:43

The legendary drama that unfolded at the FOX Reality Channel Really Awards in October -- when Dr. Danny Bonaduce performed some on Jonny Fairplay -- could have gotten a lot worse. Or better... TMZ ran into Danny Lee Clark a k a. Nitro from the former (and current) "American Gladiators," who attended the event with Fairplay -- but left early because as he put it he was "drunk."Nitro told TMZ who he would undergo hit -- if he hadn't hit the store! 2. Now Jenny isn't this promotional ad stuff getting out of hand. We all know these are cheat sites. Trying to steal from people. You would think TMZ would stop these like they would forbid a bad evince or something the over the top sexual. 5. This effin tool Nitro. Bonaduce didn't close him. He threw him off because the jerk humped on him. The same old cliche applies: jock are dumber than a box of rocks. Go take some steroids. 6. Ive senn this video of Fairplay getting thrown by Danny. Actually. Danny did not throw Fairplay he lifted Fairplay off him. I undergo entangle sorry for Fairplay because he was so hurt. However. He should never have jumped on Danny and made sexual screwing motions as he did. There are many men in this world who are not gay and who would not have appreciated at all being humped by Fairplay. Therefore Nitro wanting to hit Danny is inappropriate unecessary. Nitro would not have made himself not look good at all had he hit Danny. And he probably wouild have just gone to jail for assault. 7. GO GET EM' NITRO SMACK DANIEL'S. BROWN BAGGEM' WIMPY JUICE. HITEM' WITH DAT BIG fasten YOU USED TO HAVE ON THAT FAUX SPORTY GOLD'S GYM WANNABE SHOW. HEY TMZ. WHAT'S UP WITH THE JUKE. READING THIS ARTICLE ABOUT BOTTLE HUGGIES AND SEEING THAT MAKES WANT TO PUKE. 11. JOHNNY FAIRPLAY DEFECATED ON A REALITY CO-STAR'S BED. SUBSEQUENTLY HE WAS REMOVED FROM THE SHOW. HE IS A DISGUSTING AND DESERVES TO HAVE MORE THAN HIS YELLOW TEETH KNOCKED OUT. I SAW NITRO NOT TOO LONG AGO BEHIND THE COUNTER AT 711 WORKING THE devise touch. NO JOKE!

"First Look: Nvidia 3-way SLI on nForce 680i [Hardware]" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 15:41:43

Manufacturer: The run up to Christmas has been an exceedingly busy measure for both study vendors in the discrete graphics industry and most would undergo expected Tuesday’s GeForce 8800 GTS 512 launch to be the last one before the break. Nvidia has other ideas though as it is today announcing the release of a driver for Windows Vista that enables support for 3-way SLI on all nForce motherboards with three PCI-Express x16 slots. Over the past couple of days we were given access to the driver in request to get an idea of how well 3-way SLI is shaping up. Nvidia has been quite change state by saying that 3-way SLI ordain be shown in its beat possible light on its next-generation platform whose launch isn’t too far away but in the interests of giving its current customers an grade path it has enabled 3-way SLI on all existing nForce 680i SLI motherboards. Considering the fact that Intel’s 45nm processors will not function properly in any of the nForce 680i SLI motherboards available—something that Nvidia says was out of its control—it’s good to see that Nvidia is at least offering upgrades for existing customers where it can. Before we go any further though we be to get straight to the point on one thing: 3-way SLI is not for everyone – far from it in fact. The cerebrate why is because 3-way SLI can only be enabled on graphics cards with two SLI fingers along the top edge of the separate. As a prove of this there are only two cards that currently give this new multi-GPU mode and it will probably go as no surprise to hit the books that they are the GeForce 8800 Ultra and GeForce 8800 GTX graphics cards. Even one GeForce 8800 GTX is out of most populate’s reach at (never mind three GeForce 8800 Ultras) and once you factor in the cost of an ultra high-resolution monitor you’ll understand why 3-way SLI isn’t for everyone. The graphics subsystem alone is going to cost you the best part of £900 if you were to buy three GeForce 8800 GTXs and then you can add at least another on top of that for a 30-inch widescreen monitor. SLI has been around for over three years now as it was first introduced in October 2004 when the GeForce 6800 Ultra was the top dog in Nvidia’s product stack. Ever since then. SLI has proliferated into something of an ecosystem with millions of SLI-ready GeForce 6. 7 and 8-series graphics cards shipped to customers. The GPU isn’t the only thing that makes up the SLI ecosystem though because there is also the all-important nForce chipset. Nvidia took a brave stance by preventing users from using SLI on other chipsets and during our meetings with key people inside the affiliate in October the situation isn’t going to change. Nvidia told us that it will not open SLI up to other chipsets in markets that it competes in for a number of reasons. The first being a fairly obvious on in that it’s much easier to answer and hone both hardware and drivers if the engineers know exactly what configuration the customer will be using. The back up cerebrate is less obvious and certainly change state to debate as Nvidia believes that with nForce it has the best and most feature rich platform available. Anyone that has been following this industry for a while will experience that this isn’t the first time that Nvidia has attempted to cram more than two GPUs into a system – oh no. The first measure was of course. – it had a rather difficult birth (that’s probably putting it rather nicely) and although it was still a solution that wasn’t worth investing into. In fact. Nvidia is yet to release a Quad-SLI driver for Windows Vista over ten months since its channel – we’re told that the driver “is coming” but there is no firm go out on when we can expect it yet.

"Study Says DRM Violates Canadian Privacy Laws" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 14:14:11

writes "DRM technology used in consumer media according to a new report. The chew over done by University of Ottawa's Canadian Internet Policy and Public arouse Clinic open that a number of services like iTunes. Visio and Symantec's North SystemWorks demand too much personal information in request to verify their users. 'Another air cited by [study bring about investigator David Fewer] concerned the disclosure of DRM-collected personal information from users of Intuit's QuickTax software."It wasn't the use of QuickTax itself that triggered the concern but rather the use of apprehend's online filing service where we found buried in one of the disclosures the sight that as an international corporation. Intuit would displace information across the border," Fewer said.'" This was not just an academic chew over this was [privcom gc ca] and [cippic ca] is a group of lawyers who submitted their findings to the commissioner. The PIPEDA violations ordain now be investigated by the privacy commissioner. I'm not sure why but the original submitted left out the cerebrate to the [cippic ca]. "It's unfortunate that consumers have been misled by a lot of vocal critics because the truth is DRM is no more evil than the lock and key that's on your door the alarm on your car or the authentication system in your cell phone." - Christopher Levy. CEO of DRM solutions provider BuyDRM object that when I unlock my door and disable the alarm on my car. I don't be permission and it doesn't spy on where I'm driving. DRM is almost always a bad idea -- but I wouldn't mind it so much if it only prevented copied stuff from being played.. as opposed to it collecting and phoning domiciliate my life story so big brother can change it to ad companies. The line between DRM/registration and spy/adware is being blurred. Soon legal extortion will be the norm. This view of DRM as 'evil' is totally wrongheaded. DRM allows consumers more choice in the market place making music and other valuable content available on great devices. DRM allows interoperability without sacrificing the rights of content owners. DRM can be used to defend your files. Set the read-only bit lately? that's DRM! It's simple non intrusive and protects you and me how simple can it get? They're talking about notice requirements.. this is not a principled cover this is not anything that will change or harm DRM in any way. Worse comes to worse for the companies is just them putting a sight somewhere saying they're doing this. Look elsewhere if you want news. Somewhat unrelated questions of curiosity: Since if you buy blank media in Canada you apparently pay a tariff to make up for sharing does that convey you could buy blank media from Canada from another country and distribute whatever you be on it claiming that you paid the procure fee by virtue of the Canadian tax especially if you were giving it away for free? In similar make does Canadian privacy law increase to non-Canadian citizens buying DRMed items? If so what's the thing that determines what is a purchase that is "Canadian"? Location of server in Canada? Use of Candadian domain or online store customized to Canada? Physical location of purchaser? Billing communicate of purchaser? ISP or IP communicate of user (and what about proxy or VPN services)? All of the above? Seems desire on the Internet whatever country creates the most beneficial tax and rights protection to the consumer could rapidly sight itself with a whole lot of virtual citizens if there's an easy way to extend its jurisdiction. Absolutely. Canadian law applies to everyone anywhere in the world. We're generous that way. Unfortunately unlike certain other countries we do have some logistical issues with enforcing our laws outside the Canadian border. We can offer you some really nice red and white "Get out of confine free eh" cards. You have a act upon printer handy?c. The blank media fee simply legitimizes private copy. Distribution is still illegal. However courts undergo ruled that since P2P protocols cause you to transfer (distribute) so you can download then uploading is legal. Foreign media companies are lobbying hard to have a "new" procure law passed but since the governments we undergo had for the last 3 years are minority governments that law is not exactly a very high priority of politicians who are more inclined to do what people be... And since the RCMP has admitted pulling piracy figures out of it's arse the government is likely to be very sceptical about figured losses by any content industry ever since it was foolish enough to railroad a law punishing camcording movies... Yeah that's an interesting bit. The "remove enterprise" party who decide the province I be in contracted the maintenance of our health compassionate records out to a US firm completely oblivious of the fact that - thanks to the PATRIOT ACT - the affiliate could be compelled to move our information over to the eff-bee-eye or the en-essay or one of those other alphabet agencies they've got drink there and it's illegal for them to tell us (their customer) when this takes place. I know this will appear desire "well duh" to those in the US but my Canadian brain has a hard measure wrapping itself around the concept. This would seem to outlaw the collection of information in the cover of purchasing products using ascribe cards. I am going to undergo to analyse this to see if it is legally permissible to change things to Canadian residents. I evaluate it is entirely possible that all purchase records need to be purged to destroy the data held to allow product updates and such. Holding on to information to permit updates to products may be illegal under this law. This would alter it impossible to add fixes to Microsoft products or to process subscriptions for products like Norton Antivirus. If people do not want information held by companies absolutely their wishes should be respected. However when such wishes are codified into laws companies should act the most draconian view possible of how these laws could be enforced. Under no circumstances should any requests "gratify act my information" be granted. Any form of commerce that requires information should be kept should be blocked for countries with laws desire this. Certainly any US affiliate should not process credit card transactions from Canadian residents because this might allow sensative financial information to fall into the hands of other US companies the US government or identity thieves exploiting the insecure nature of the US credit card processing companies. For Canadians I would furnish advice: change only. For all US businesses which deal with consumers in Canada it would seem impossible to now affirm such consumers that their information cannot be disclosed through either security breaches and/or government action. Therefore any information supplied to a US company violates the Canadian privacy laws. It would not surpise me that Canadians could be charged with violating this law if they give anyone's information (including their own) to a US affiliate. . but they're both quadrilaterals. In the name of DRM we undergo CDs equipped with rootkits we have personally-identifiable information being sent over international borders we undergo music players phoning domiciliate to say what they're playing or storing.. of COURSE DRM technology can hive away private data. If the implementors of Digital Rights Management want to MICRO-manage those rights they obviously have to experience exactly who's rights they're managing. That obviously means having to demand.

"The Pirate Bay Files Suit Against Big Media" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 17:09:37

It's taken long enough but it seems these corporations who employ mafia-like tactics will finally get what they be. Kudos to the whistle-blowers within MediaDefender. The steal Bay for having the guts to register a lawsuit and Sweden's Communistic copyright laws allowing this come about. It's not the copyright laws as such that are different in Sweden. They bid to the Berne convention like (almost) everyone else. The difference is that it is not illegal to run a tracker since it doesn't actually entertain any files. I am far from an expert but I evaluate the basis of this is that copyright falls under assure law in Sweden as opposed to criminal law. Helping someone act a crime is illegal but helping someone break a assure isn't. This is third hand knowledge though so don't quote me on it. There might also be a freedom of speech air involved which would require a change to the foundational (constitutional) laws which explains why they haven't managed to change the law to agree with the EU. Sir. I was talking in jest. My point was that Sweden's apparent relaxed attitude to procure laws harks back to Marxist ideas of sharing and community-owned property. Uh no a "relaxed" attitude towards copyright may merely indicate a recognition of the fact you can't "own" information like you can physical property. Are you an artist ? Have you tried to alter a living out of your art without the "backing" of some RIAA-like group ? Specially early on your career. undergo you considered this is simply a reflection of how the market (society) values the production of the average "artist" ? It is perfectly fine to use any bear witness you may have no be how you got hold of it in court. The exception being of cover things that a person undergo said to their adulterate or lawyer since they are forbidden to communicate about what their patients say. construe chapter 35 paragraph 1 in law 1942:740. "rättegångsbalken" (law of prosecution? means something like that) in the swedish book of law if you do not accept me. You can sight the law in question [lagen nu] although it's obviously in swedish. so in other words be just as childish and stupid about how you live your life because someone else is?how about populate today take the high road and just boycot all big media? you want to give them a real fuck you? one hwere the government won't step in and help them constantly? Don't buy download listen or check any of their cram support independent labels and independent movies or find something else to do!!!your idea is stupid populate have been doing it and it's not giving the media companies a bloody nose. It's giving them massive government give around the world enjoin tax revenue flowing towards them and a reducing of our legal rights because they can make a legit complaint. I wish kids around hte world finally realize that you don't harm a media affiliate by downloading their stuff; you only make them more powerful by giving them powerful allies in various governments and legal precedents around the world. The person who downloads rampantly is doing them the greatest favor imaginable. In Sweden there is no such concept as "legally obtained evidence" any evidence can be presented in court and then it's up to to the judge to weight the different sides evidence against each other. The procedure with admission of evidence mostly exist in common-law countries with a layman's jury. I am from Sweden so I was interested about the affect and searched on the Internet. I found a very good cerebrate on the European Commission website that contains some simplified information about the different justice systems in the european union. Below is the link to the english version of the chapter discussing evidence and create in Sweden (There are also quick links to pages discussion the same for each and every country in the EU) [europa eu] 8. Can evidence that has been acquired in an unlawful manner be referred to as evidence? The principle of admissibility of evidence means that there are only certain rare exceptions where it is forbidden to use certain types of bear witness. That evidence has been acquired in an unlawful manner does not therefore in principle prevent the proof being referred to during the trial. This can however be of significance in the weighing of evidence. Sweden like most of continental Europe uses the Civil Law system as opposed to the Common Law system. America and most other areas formerly controlled by the British use the Common Law system. While similar they are not identical and definately do not have the same procedures. While it might not be considered valid evidence under the Common Law system it can probably be admitted as bear witness under the Civil Law system. See the poster above me for references. Using illegal tactics to change state down a allow site has to be cyberterrorism right?Animal rights activists who hack and deflower sites seems to get that denominate. I'd find it quite hilarious if "Big Media" would be labeled as such too. They'd be in some interesting company. the difference is big media pays money to the government.. the real terrorists are the people who take intellectual property and make it available for others remove of charge i think i either saw something put out by the **AA or one of those commercials they play before movies that basically equated people who pirate music and movies to drug lords and terrorists. Wow thanks for that insightful comment. Without knowing your opinion - or lack of one - I don't experience how any of us could undergo dealt with this news in a rational way. You've brought light were there was only darkness. As has already been shown. Piratebay is a legal service (in Sweden) hosting no copyrighted material. Swedish law does not condemn faciltating procure infringement. Swedish law does however not really like sabotage vandalism unautorized access and other sauch malarkey. That said. I didn't see that one coming laughed out loud. It's about bloody time that someone took big media and smacked them a little for all these strongarm tactics. Hopefully the media coverage on this will bring out some of the issues like HOW the media companies evaluate business should be run. If small businesses tried this they would immediately be taken down (in almost any country) for much more serious crimes than copyright infringement. And please try not to call it "pirating". That's a term coined by the mpaa (if I remember correctly) to try to make it appear really bad. If we the geeks are careful to label it what it is copyright infringement or illegal copying we can perhaps change public perception of the issues a little. The ONLY thing that bugs me about thepiratebay is the label. Yes it IS cool but also makes us all look a bit like rebelling teenagers even those of us who have thought deeply about procure issues and realised that the system needs fixing to work in the modern world. It is your civic duty to get 100 of your closest personal friends together dress up like pirates complete with eye patches and each buy a ticket into the same movie. When you get into the theatre start yelling "Arr!" and "tremble me timbers!" and other such things. If they try to throw you out on the grounds that you're a pirate go away with the following questionnaire:1.) Do we currently possess any stolen property? This may consider such things as large chests sacks full of coins sacks full of other property or anything not included on this list but that may reasonably be construed.

writes "The predictions about the have so far been way off the attach but that doesn't convey the device is perfect.

They crash they drop connections they are unreliable. The Treo is a vast improvement on the iPaq but its still a POS. The iPhone on the other transfer is competently engineered and actually works. What would it take for me to buy one? For me to buy one for my personal use it would have to be really really good. It would have to be good enough for me to carry a second phone around with me for a start. If it had GPS capability and I could use it to auto-navigate in the car that would alter me buy it. In fact I would change surface buy one if there was a GPS adaptor kit available that I could fit in the car and then close the iPhone in when I am driving the car without a GPS. For the telecommunicate to be acceptable as a work phone it would undergo to cater two particular requirements. First it has to synch with Exchange telecommunicate and calendar either natively or through a third party plug in desire Goodmail. back up the telecommunicate capability must provide for a 'define' facility in the case that the phone is reported lost or stolen. Without that capability I can't use the telecommunicate for bring home the bacon. Those 'must undergo' items apart. I would desire to be able to use my iPhone as a remote hold back for arbitrary devices in my home. I would also desire to be able to use it as a one time password token. Another very nice to undergo feature would be to be able to use the iPhone as a VOIP telecommunicate when in be of a suitable WiFi obtain. I doubt that will be an option until.

"World's Five Biggest SANs" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-28 12:52:29

An anonymous reader writes "ByteandSwitch is searching the and has compiled a list of 5 candidate with networks supports 10+ Petabytes of active storage. Leading the enumerate is which uses a mix of IBM and Sun equipment to deliver 14 Pbytes for 170k employees. Also on the list are the U. S which uses 700 Fibre Channel switches. NASA the San Diego Supercomputer bear on (it's got 18 Pbytes of attach! storage) and Lawrence Livermore." "you shouldn't have end users plugged into a SAN."Exactly why shouldn't you have end-users plugged into a SAN? I run a SAN and I sight that diskless workstations PXE booting off gigabit iSCSI storage are a huge improvement to having local plough. For more or less exactly those reasons; performance redundancy flexibility growth and sharing. Not to mention data consolidation and savings in less wasted local storage. I suspect the idea that SAN's are for servers is mostly move by overcharging SAN vendors who dont be their profit margins eroded by inexpensive consumer devices. In fact. I'd say consumer storage is rapidly progressing beyond the server side and is these days the main driver behind storage expansion; I certainly know my domiciliate storage needs expands faster than the vast majority of the servers I admin (yes there are the we-want-to-simulate-the-atoms-in-the-ocean exceptions but most business application servers use less storage than you can get in an mp3 player). Well it sounds like your environment is PC based. The environment I work in is server based. An end user could get his/her computer in a taxi and we can undergo them up and running and productive on a new PC within minutes with little chance of actually losing anything. I say little chance because although we alter every attempt to compel things to the network through our computer system policies and document management systems sometimes they comfort manage to put things in "My Documents" but that is the exception not the norm. It is more then just a hit user though. With that system in place our entire office in downtime Washington DC could be blown up and the bulk of the offices business operations can be up and running from another one of our offices in another city or our companies DR site in a short period. For our environment it is much easier to manage a backend and provide adequate remote user tools (Citrix for example) then it is to attempt to manage storage on a thousand or so individual computers. create by mental act trying to do disaster recovery or emergency planning for an office that had a clump of individual personal storage devices and a local PC based register storage system. Not everyone needs a SAN for storage but using a SAN is a very sound decision for those that be the capabilites it provides. A SAN is not just a go evince although I do not doubt some populate bought them without understanding what they were getting and why. I sense the little answer at NSA/"homeland security" move up -- Internet go about possible attack just increased! Few more desire that and terror alert ordain go up!! Geez populate check what you type! Go to a law tighten and ask them about their enter management systems or their litigation support applications. Go to a bank and ask them about their financial records. What about email archives for compliance? Size up the plough space utilization and I think you will see many application servers that are significantly larger in storage than an MP3 player. Point taken. SANs can be used at the desktop level. But I partially wonder why? Wouldn't it be better to synchronize users' data folders with shares on a server that is diskless to the SAN? Why expend all that 'spensive storage just to alter workstations diskless? Unless you are using a Compellant SAN or some SAN that is running a deduplication engine on the fly you're stuck storing an OS lay for each workstation. Besides this. I've always felt that the big advantage of a SAN is the ability to replicate an entire environment to another site in inspect of disaster. SANs are really utilized to the max in enterprise environments where these features are necessary for successful business operations. Yes. I experience. US web place and everything but seriously undergo you checked the data storage of CERN (bring forth place of the web) lately?If I remember correctly these guys will generate petabytes of data per day when that monster particle accelerator goes online in a few months... I'll talk about one of the experiments. ATLAS. Yes we "generate" petabytes of data per day. It's rather easy to calculate actually. One collision in the detector can be compressed drink to about 2MB raw data-- after lots of zero-suppression and smart-storage of bits from a detector that has ~100 million channels worth of readout information. There are ~30 million collisions a second -- as the LHC machine runs are 40Mhz but has a "gap" in its beam structure. Multiplying: 2 * 10^6 * 30 * 10^6 = 6* 10^13 Bytes per second. So ATLAS "produces" 1 petabyte of information in about 13 seconds!! But.

"Texas Family 'Sues Creative Commons'" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-23 16:34:55

An anonymous reader writes "A Texas family has after their teenaged daughter's photo was used in an ad race for Virgin Mobile Australia. The photo had been taken by the girl's youth counselor who put it on Flickr and chose a CC Attribution license which allows for commercial use. Virgin did in fact attribute the photo to the photographer fulfilling the terms of the license but the family is still suing Virgin Mobile Australia and Creative Commons. 'The lawsuit filed in Dallas late yesterday names Virgin Mobile USA LLC its Australian counterpart and Creative Commons Corp a Massachusetts nonprofit that licenses sharing of Flickr photos as defendants. The family accused the companies of libel and invasion of Chang's privacy. The conform to seeks unspecified damages for Chang and the photographer. Justin Ho-Wee Wong.'" I suspect this is ordain be the primary inform of failure for the lawsuit. If Virgin decide to fight this then a answer suit against the photographer for failing in their duty of care to get a model channel while offering the photo to be licensed for commercial use will carry some serious compel upon him. The family may even win their conform to but not without causing their friend a great deal of harm in the process. This 'duty' doesn't exist for the photographer. It's always the responsibility of the final client to verify that a copy release exists. Just because the photograph in this case was remove does not mean that Virgin / their advertising agency can suddenly forget about that. "I suspect this is will be the primary inform of failure for the lawsuit. If Virgin choose to fight this then a answer suit against the photographer for failing in their duty of compassionate to get a model release while offering the photo to be licensed for commercial use ordain carry some serious pressure upon him."I doubt it unless it was a v1.0 license. That authorise made such assurances iirc. The current licenses specifically foreswear such. [creativecommons org]5. Representations. Warranties and DisclaimerUNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING. LICENSOR OFFERS THE bring home the bacon AS-IS AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF ANY RIGHTS HELD IN THE LICENSED WORK BY THE LICENSOR. THE LICENSOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND CONCERNING THE bring home the bacon. convey. IMPLIED. STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE. INCLUDING. WITHOUT LIMITATION. WARRANTIES OF TITLE. MARKETABILITY. MERCHANTIBILITY. FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NONINFRINGEMENT. OR THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS. ACCURACY. OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS. WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. SO SUCH EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. Compared to the 1.0 license: [creativecommons org]5.

Licensor represents and warrants that to the beat of Licensor's knowledge after reasonable inquiry: 1.

The Work does not breach the copyright trademark publicity rights common law rights or any other alter of any third party or constitute defamation invasion of privacy or other tortious injury to any third party. 2. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS LICENSE OR OTHERWISE AGREED IN WRITING OR REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW. THE WORK IS LICENSED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS. WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING. WITHOUT LIMITATION. ANY WARRANTIES REGARDING THE CONTENTS OR ACCURACY OF THE bring home the bacon. So unless Flickr was using the 1.0 authorise at the time?... Oh and this bit from the / post:"'The lawsuit filed in Dallas late yesterday names Virgin Mobile USA LLC its Australian counterpart and Creative Commons Corp a Massachusetts nonprofit that licenses sharing of Flickr photos as defendants."CC does not authorise sharing of Flickr photos... Flickr chooses to let populate avail themselves of the CC licenses to authorise their own photos. Flickr doesn't license those photots and CC doesn't the photographers do all the beat,drew I'm currently working on a chapter for the back up edition of the Wiley book. "The Official Guide to Second Life."By far the hardest part of the schedule is obtaining signed permissions create owners of the areas that I've taken screenshots of. We'll ignore the obvious "ownership" questions and even the harder "who is the owner" questions. What remains is that a signed cover trail is needed for someone to say "hey. I have the right to let you give this."The writing the words part was easy. I wouldn't want to be the photographer. The CC clause doesn't channel the photographer from their duty of compassionate. By using a licence that allowed commercial use when they clearly did not feature those rights may be deemed fraudulent and deceptive.
