DISQUS

Kindle... another reason to stick with traditional paper books! :)

The ASCAP is crazy! Even I would assume ringtones are in fair use. Most people do not let their phones ring and ring and ring in public and even if they do, most phones won't use a ringtone that's larger than 30 seconds and/or a certain file size so often times the song isn't even distinguishable by people who are around, if they're even paying attention!

I'm glad you threw in "if it assumed that every pirated copy is a lost sale." I know people who, for example, own MS Office pirated but if that were unavailable to them they still wouldn't buy it because of the price tag. They'd be using Open Office or something instead. I'd take a gander that were piracy impossible, the money lost that would be made up would be much much less than the $50.2 billion the study is guessing. From what I see around here, most piracy occurs (with the people I know) because the software prices are what they consider to be too high. Thankfully for me, though, I own legally due to academic pricing. :)

No problem, that's what it was sounding like. Thanks for clarifying :)

What does this mean, that Microsoft dismissed the lawsuit? Just that they're blowing it off and not caring about it, or something more technical/legal? :)

All I can say is, what is Re/Max smoking!? And can I have some??

Will be praying for you!

We tried to get the same coupon last week and were told it was only valid if you bought a large pizza or something first, then you could get the P'zone for $1. We passed it up, since we'd already ordered 3 medium pizzas on another deal. Husband was disappointed, he wanted the P'zone for his lunch the following day. I'm not sure, though, why it wouldn't give you that option or tell you it wasn't valid unless....

Cool! I download my email and didn't know Gmail had that new feature!

Yay, congratulations!!

I love your unique bouquets, too!

Jonathan: Go rent The Jerk now!

Hehehehehe :)

Ooh looks even better! :)

Oooh it looks great! Love how you have the comments form laid out, too!
Good luck with the header image - I'm not so great in that area myself (designer). But I think yours looks good, though!

"Ford: Car owners are pirates if they distribute pictures of their own cars"

All I have to say is.. .WTF?!

Thanks, Jonathan! Great info!

Sorry, I missed your reply earlier! Hi again :)

BlogRush is okay I guess. I am not sure I've seen any real benefit from it yet and the widgets are kind of huge and ugly. I'll give it some time, though, before I give up on it! :)

Wow, just wow... I don't have anything to add to the conversation, but I'm subscribing ;-)

The WHOIS service is certainly abused! Ahem, "services" like aboutus.org, etc., ahem. I hope that a more reasonable solution can be reached, however. For one, maybe the service should only be available at the ICANN website...

I prefer to be remembered from the start and I get frustrated with sites on which I click "remember me" and they just refuse to. I also use my laptop most of the time and stay logged in to just about everything other than secure sites. When someone else uses my laptop, they know they have to log out of my stuff first or use IE (since I use Firefox). If a site doesn't have a "remember me" I expect that it WILL remember me.

I feel like most people want to be remembered, except on shared computers, of course, and those people know to log out. Even my most computer illiterate of friends understand this. The only people I run in to anymore that worry about cookies are people who are living in 1997 and just don't get it. I got some funny friends. :)

But all in all, at least in the various circles I run in, I feel like "remember me" is unnecessary.

Ahhh :)
Thank you! I will check out the links!

Jonathan, I'm sorry I seem to have missed this but can't find it anywhere. Can you tell me about where the "Adblocking becomes a copyright issue" part is located?
Thanks :)

That is really interesting, indeed.
I hope that your wife's company does indeed investigate that situation.

Really makes you think, too, if when you're viewing someone's resume if it's all true or not. I think if I were an employer, I'd be a bit paranoid. Glad I'm not in that position :)

It's not about the link, it's about being really curious as to the right answer, LOL. Here's another guess. #1 does not have the phrase "I declare under the perjury laws of the United States of America that this notification is true and correct." or anything like it... closer? :-D

Interesting! I thought that could have been it because when I first contacted a host a couple of months ago and ended up doing a DMCA, I was told to make sure it was in that format, with correct numbering!

I'll have to keep thinking :)

This is probably a lame-o answer but I'm going to say #2 is correct because it's the only one with the "numbered points."
