Guys
Didn't I recently post a warning about calculating Pi in binary? Therefore a
discussion group like this could also constitute some form of conspiracy to
infringe copyright, Which due to the fact that we post internationally would
also bring US federal law into play? An transporting 'code' which we geeks
refer
to in the feminine would also bring the Mann Act into play....:-)
But seriously (not) this whole copyright thing is a dinosaur, did anyone see
the "Insider" where the laywer stated "If he lies [in a 60 minutes TV
interview] then
we are in the clear, but if they prove he's telling the truth then we could
be liable"
