Space elevator for teh win!

The problem with the space elevator, though, is that you still have to get supplies from the elevator to the moon (or mars, or whatever).

DVD Copy Control licence so badly written it's invalid

Copy protection lawyers shoot selves in foot

By Andrew Thomas: Friday 30 March 2007, 11:28
US LAWYERS HAVE SCREWED UP the licensing specifications designed to protect movies from being copied, reports EETimes. A California court ruled yesterday that a Silicon Valley company isn't violating the technology used to protect DVDs because the licence and specifications for the technology are so badly written.

The judge found against the DVD Copy Control Association (CCA) which was attempting to stop startup company Kaleidescape from selling a media server product that stores DVD movies on disk. He ruled that an entire section of the CCA's specification for the Content Scramble System was not part of the licence agreement.

"This is a product of a committee of lawyers," said the judge.

The CCA believed its licence stated that a movie could only be stored on disk if the DVD remained in the player and that if this were not the case, there would be nothing to stop borrowed DVDs from being illegally copied. Unfortunately for them, the judge thought otherwise.

Community Sues To Oust 3-Year-Old

Child With Drug-Addict Mom Lives With Grandparents

LARGO, Fla. -- A Florida homeowners group wants 3-year-old Kimberly Broffman to take her Big Wheel and hit the road.

They've banded together to oust the toddler from their Tampa-area community, which bans residents under 18.

The child's grandparents, Judie and Jimmy Stottler, admit Kimberly's been living there in violation of homeowners' association rules for three years. They said her mother has a drug problem, and isn't capable of caring for the child.

The grandparents said they live on a fixed income and can't afford to move until they sell their house. So far, there have been no takers to buy their house, even after they lowered the $189,000 asking price by $10,000 six months ago.

They also said they can't afford to hire an attorney.

Judie Stottler supports the family with her $18,000-per year dishwashing job because Jimmy Stottler is disabled and is unable to work.

Judie Stottler's friends told the St. Petersburg Times that they are worried.

"It is so ridiculous that this has gone so far," said Keith Tinsley, a cook who works with her. "She's trying her best to sell her house. It's like they are trying to force her to put Kimberly in foster care.

"These people keep batting her down and batting her down. They're just mean."

Judie Stottler said she is scared that she wil lose her house before she is able to sell it.

"We don't have any family to take us in," Judie Stottler said.

The Lakes homeowners association filed suit to oust Kimberly last month.


Utterly and patently ridiculous.
