Monty Python's: The Meaning of life (1983)

MR. BLACKITT: No, no. I mean, because we are members of the Protestant
Reformed Church, which successfully challenged the autocratic power of the
Papacy in the mid- sixteenth century, we can wear little rubber devices to
prevent issue.

MR. BLACKITT: That's what being a Protestant's all about. That's why it's
the church for me. That's why it's the church for anyone who respects the
individual and the individual's right to decide for him or herself. When
Martin Luther nailed his protest up to the church door in fifteen-
seventeen, he may not have realised the full significance of what he was
doing, but four hundred years later, thanks to him, my dear, I can wear
whatever I want on my John Thomas,... [sniff] ...and, Protestantism doesn't
stop at the simple condom! Oh, no! I can wear French Ticklers if I want.

I dunno, there are some very serious vulnerabilities in MSIE that have
turned up recently

You "dunno" what? That's my point. Web surfing is in itself a "dangerous"
activity. A script in a WMV file is only truly dangerous if your browser
has a vulnerability (and of course, if you've enabled running scripts in
your media player), and if that's the case, then you have the same exact
risk just surfing the web.

The only ones that play for me are the spitfire and the low pass. She
spit
I saved, the low pass didn't work.

Anyone else having trouble running them?

The gist is as follows: It was to be an introduction to a Discovery
program, if I remember right, and is about two years old. The
"talent" is supposed to introduce the piece and he's supposed to
finish his introduction in time for the Spitfire to zoom past.

The announcer is Alain de Cadenet from Speed TV. They used to have
aviation programs before Fox bought the network.

Thats what their patent claims, so far, some of the biggest companies, Hustler,
wicked, Vivid, lodge net, and others, have signed their license agreement. After
our attorney reviewed the patents, we signed it also. Its no joke, they are
going after everyone, they have had the courts shut down alot of sites that
refused to pay licensing fee's.
A few places are litigating it, I am sure the out come of the trial will
invalidate the patents, but as of now, they are enforcing them.

BTW they havnt been standing in any lines, they have been pushing their way to
the front of it

This is the same company who in 2000, claimed they held the patent on the V-chip
technology, alot of companies paid up, a few went to court. after 2 years,
acacia lost. But as Rob Berman said in a radio interview "we made 200 million
dollars, so did we really lose"

They are asking that people pay them huge amounts of money to license
their DMT
patents. How do I know about this, because we got a letter from them
asking us
to pay them $10k to license their patents. They are not playing around,
they
even sent these letters to universities, online radio stations and so
forth.

They claim a patent on ALL streaming media? Wow -- that's arrogance of
Microsoftian proportions.

Well, I suppose if they want to stop our fun, they can have a whack at me.

But they'll have to stand in line to do it. ;-)

Works great (WinXP-Pro Windows media player V8.0), although I had to down
load it or it was too choppy streaming, I am using a SAT connection.

Question to the pilots experienced in this type of airplane...What is the
chances out of 100, this guy would be dead. I thought I saw the wings
bobble.

Can't run it in Netscape (which I use for usenet). I can cut the URL that Peter
posted into an IE window and get it to run.

A patent relating to "Digital Media Transmission" (DMT). Actually,
they have 5 such U.S. Patents. You can see them from he

How long ago was this? Your attorney could have easily requested a
stay on the court date until the current lawsuit against Acacia is
settled (which will more than likley invalidate their patents).

Which is misleading, and almost makes it sound like Acacia acutally
presented a case in their favor, which is not the case.
The only time Acacia has won anything in court, was when the defendant
refused to appear.... and is not "a lot" of sites, just a handful run
by a few select companies.

If their pantent held *any* weight, companies like Yahoo, MS, AOL, etc
would be the targets.

Acacia definitely seems to be pros in this area... milking a puchased
pantent for all they can before the courts deem them invalid.

Aren't patents issued for the purpose of generating law suits? :-)
