"Violators will be forced to watch 100 hours of Lawrence Welk."

That's a punishment? I watch it every week -- for enjoyment. Rock would be
punishment, with its distorted instruments and distorted voices.

Let it be known that any violators shall be forced to read
every word ever written by Florrian Mueller for 100 hours,
and then will be required to recite it from memory, in it's
entirety. Any mistakes will require another 100 hours, and
will repeat until they recite it perfectly.

ACTA Back From the Dead - Zombie Canada Complies
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, March 02 2013 @ 01:41 PM EST
Major announcements from the US and Canada today give a clear indication that the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is coming back with a vengeance.

ACTA is an agreement negotiated and signed by 11 countries, carrying intellectual property (IP) provisions that would negatively impact digital rights and innovation by ratcheting up IP enforcement measures beyond existing international standards. It will not take effect until six countries ratify the agreement, and Japan is so far the only country to have done so.

The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) posted its 2013 Trade Policy Agenda and 2012 Trade Policy Report, which covers all of its ongoing negotiations over trade agreements. It reports that the US is working with Japan and other negotiating parties “to ensure that ACTA can come into force as soon as possible,” and encourages Canada “to meet its [ACTA] obligations.”

Canada did not miss a beat to satisfy this demand.

Orlowski admits to expressing an opinion
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, March 03 2013 @ 12:05 AM EST
To be brutally frank, Samsung's "innovation culture" is mostly about following trends rather than acting as a "first mover", in your humble writer's opinion
The Register

The article hints that Samsung will have to start copying Huawei if it wants to stay with the front runners. If you're worried they'll copy the Chinese backdoors too, then try this kitchen and bathroom model.

Alternative Dispute Resolution Gone Wrong - Very, Very Wrong
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, March 03 2013 @ 12:39 PM EST
When combined with a closed secretive pseudo process and the higher interest in protecting the institution things go from bad to worse.
Last month, former University of North Carolina assistant dean of students Melinda Manning, three students and one former student filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights on behalf of themselves and 64 other unnamed sexual assault survivors, alleging that university officials pressured Manning into underreporting cases and violated the Campus Sexual Assault Victims' Bill of Rights, the Clery Act and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and equal opportunity mandates under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Now sophomore Landen Gambill, one of the students named in the case, says she's being punished by the Office of Student Conduct for "intimidating" her rapist by speaking to the press about her sexual assault.

"Copyright lawyer" sues defence lawyers, bloggers
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, March 04 2013 @ 09:22 AM EST
Prenda Law has commenced three defamation, libel and conspiracy suits against
the same people: defence lawyers, defendants and all the blogger and
commentators at "Die Troll Die" and "Fight Copyright
Trolls". The suits, in different state courts, each attempt to identify
anyone who has criticized Prenda, fine them $200,000 each for stating their
opinions, and prohibit them from ever criticizing Prenda again. [from Slashdot]

If Bradley Manning and WikiLeaks are guilty, then so is the New York Times
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, March 04 2013 @ 12:56 PM EST
Keeping in mind that a military court never went after the NYT...
Summary:

Harvard law professor Yochai Benkler says that WikiLeaks clearly qualifies as a media entity, and argues that by pursuing Bradley Manning for aiding the enemy, the government is putting journalism at risk as well as whistle-blowing.

[...]

The First Amendment would seem to protect the NYT in a case like this, and I’ve argued before that it should protect WikiLeaks as well — an argument that former Times‘ executive editor Bill Keller has said he agrees with. But the U.S. government continues to pursue WikiLeaks for its role in publicizing the documents that Manning leaked, and some U.S. legislators have mused aloud about whether espionage charges could be laid against other media entities like the New York Times as well.
