"That warning implies that the potential for Copilot to produce copyrighted code was not unanticipated."

No, that warning means you cannot claim copyright on the code it generates from open sources, which almost always have GPL's of their own.

Most U.S. public libraries offer free loans of DVDs, which pirates use to make copies of... I wonder if that AG has tried to punish his local libraries for loaning out DVDs?

Google doesn't want to censor its search results at all, because if they do, then they become liable for anything they miss.

Well, Bing is a horrible search engine... it can't even index and find stuff on microsoft.com, the site of its owner!

Try it yourself... go to a page on their support site, say, support.microsoft.com/kb/2509997

swipe across the title of the page to select the first 7 words, in this case

"Unable to install updates in Windows Vista"

(so you can see it's a rather old page, not something they haven't had TIME to crawl and index)... copy and paste that phrase into the search bar (provided by Bing) at the top of the page there.

That support.microsoft.com page won't show up at all on the first page of bing results.

Now go to google.com and paste that same string into the search bar and click the button. Guess what site turns up as the top result?

WTF are "boffins"?

So, turning off collection of license plate data by cameras that are watching traffic will also be disabled immediately, right?

Sounds like just another reason to avoid facebork at all costs.

All about 'the' Benjamin

Those who would sacrifice liberty for *promises* of security deserve neither liberty NOR security.

Pluto's not a planet, remember?

They can't be moons, 'cause when illegitimate planets get things orbiting around them, they have the power to just shut that whole thing down.

Are you implying that root privileges somehow bypass DRM restrictions on content?

No kidding, ROTF...

Anyone that has bought anything from sony or had anything to do with them since the early 2000's, when sony decided it was a good idea to install rootkits on their customers' computers because they bought a CD from an artist signed by sony, deserves anything bad that befalls them.

When you go bareback with whores you should *expect* to get herpes.

Selective prosecution

He hardly "hacked" into her account... they kept track of their secure passwords the same way I do... writing them down in a note book kept next to the computer (theirs was a laptop HE bought and they both used, by the way).

Anyway, to get around to my Subject/Title... check out these links:

The female prosecutor has refused to charge the wayward wife with the felony count of adultery. How convenient.

Is "Delicious"

actually referring to the delicio.us domain name?

5+Mbps???

They better be glad ATT's choking their speeds or they would use up their monthly 2GB limit in less than an hour at 5+Mbps.

So, how long before you break the story

that apple employees are developing these exploits, on the clock, using code obtained under non-disclosure agreements?

"Oh, we didn't disclose their source code, so we didn't violate the agreement."

Poor comprehension levels

Read it again. XP SP2 and higher (current is SP3) has the required Direct2D support.

If you're really running the original XP or XP SP1, then you don't have the ability to do WiFi or WPA2, either.
