Copyright question! This video was shot by junior high students (I think it was 1991) and shown on a local access State Cable television channel. There were no issues with using the music because it fell under educational use- and still should. YouTube is warning me that the songs are owned by UMG, Breeze, and EMI. What's the wording I need to send to you YouTube in case they give me poo poo?

I'm trying to find a webpage I registered for months ago that allowed you to create random lists of text in bullet form that allowed for extreme nesting and categorization. It was fairly basic in its look and feel, but the technology behind it seemed fairly advanced. They claimed their web application was designed to function "the way your brain works". Seems like a bold statement, but it was a cool app. I'm not even sure I received an email when I signed up, and I haven't used it in a while, but I'd love to get back into it, if I could only find it!

Well you got me baffled. The United States requires all people visiting or reentering to have a passport. Canada does not require passports to enter, however they will not allow someone to enter who does not have the proper documentation to return, so by default they require visitors to have a passport. The US issues special passport cards that are only valid for land crossings between Canada and Mexico. I imagine a cruise would count as a land crossing. If you are flying there you will still need to present a regular one. I’m originally from Northern Vermont about 20 miles from the border, and it was a pretty big deal when the passport law went into effect. A lot of people there go back and forth a lot and most of them didn’t have passports. Border state politicians put some pressure on to delay implementation to give people like that more time to get them, but eventually they had to.

Mostly wanting to be able to quickly use them with copy/paste. I'm also worried about key loggers and while it seems like they might be able to read the clipboard too, I still feel like its better the typing things out. That may be BS and its impossible or maybe c/p gives no extra protection.

There were no issues with using the music because it fell under educational use- and still should. Fair use doesn't really work that way. It's not enough that the copyrighted works are being used in educational material, the use of the work itself has to be educational. For instance, if you were examining the chord structure of the song you could reproduce some of it. But you couldn't (say) have a still frame educationally stating "2 + 2 = 4" with 15 minutes of Metallica playing in the background. I'd just claim fair use anyway. The worst-case scenario is getting a DMCA notice posted, and if that happens you can just pull the video or edit the offending parts.

What is this cake called that I see sometimes at Chinese buffets? I've asked and "Chinese cake" was the answer I got. That did not google so well. It's kind of a whipped frosting like layer on top and in the middle and it kind of has a coffee taste to it. Reminds me of tiramisu for some reason but it's been many years since I've had that.

A google search for "Chinese buffet cake" suggests it may be "Mocha-flavored sheet cake". I don't know if that's specific enough for your needs, though. Edit: If it's not, you might be able to get a more in-depth description from this cake maker in A/T.

TetsuoTW posted:YouTube isn't an educational organization. Educational use doesn't apply to YouTube videos. Negative. Fair use doctrine isn't decided purely on who's claiming it. An entirely non-profit university can't photocopy and distribute a copyrighted textbook even if it's 100% for legitimate educational purposes, and the most profit-oriented hedge fund can quote a line of that same textbook in their research if they want. Fair use, educational or otherwise, is a multi-prong test: 17 USC 107 posted:...the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include: Does that sound kind of vague? It is. Copyright law is a relatively incoherent mess. But it is what it is, and simply because something is on Youtube doesn't mean it can't be fair use. Conversely, invoking "education" as a magic word doesn't mean it is fair use. I'm not a lawyer, but it seems unlikely that use of copyrighted music as an incidental soundtrack to a video - even an educational one - would hold up in a hypothetical lawsuit.

Thank you very much for the responses. I won't go the "Well they're using the song too!" route, don't want to poo poo on anyone's parade. I'll try the fair use angle and if they insist, I guess I can try to reedit the videos at some point.

I don't know if it's the same for licenses in other states, but the bar where it says the state name at the top of a Florida driver's license comes in a few different colors. Mine is green, apparently the most common, but I've seen blue and red and even yellow. What do these different colors mean?

Is anyone here up on their Norse mythology? I'm translating a book and in it they talk about Ymir. In it they say that Ymir was (non-specifically) born from the ginnungagap. Then because he was all alone for so long he let out a loud roar* which made lots of pools in the ginnungagap creating other frost giants. However I can't find any reference for this version in English, has anyone heard of this? According to stuff like wikipedia the frost giants are made from the sweat of Ymir. *Just FYI I know Ymir means roar, but in the text they specifically call him 'Ymir' but use another word for roar, so I'm fairly certain I'm not mis-translating it.

I have a question about tipping. While I usually tip when I go to restaurants or when I order delivery or something like that. There are places that usually have tip jars where I never knew you traditionally tipped. For example, coffee shops like Starbucks or some carryout places will have a blank on the receipt for tips. I usually tip if I have any extra money left over at these places, but sometimes I don't because I can barely afford stuff as it is. It always makes me feel like an rear end in a top hat, but is it usually customary to tip at those sorts of places?

I never tip at places like starbucks unless I have change or something. Tipping, in my experience (on both sides), is for the continuous service you get. A waiter/waitress spends 30+ minutes bringing you food, drinks, checking up on you, delegating with the kitchen if stuff needs to be fixed, bussing/cleaning the tables/clearing dishes. I also waitressed in the midwest where you got two bucks an hour because they expected you to get tips, barista's still got standard minimum wage.

The book is in Japanese  It's not a direct translation, (and they don't give any sources), but just a kind of summary to explain some aspects of the Norse creation myth which they use as part of their setting.

It always makes me feel like an rear end in a top hat, but is it usually customary to tip at those sorts of places? My feeling on it is... in a restaurant, you pay a pre-determined price for the food. The cook's performance is thus irrelevant - unless it's quite horrible and you can talk out of not paying, you're paying exactly that price. The wait staff's performance is very relevant, as they can go above and beyond the baseline price of the food. I might order a $10 dish and get amazing service that goes above and beyond her cut of that $10, and I want to recognize that. It is quite rare, though, that the quality of the food of a $10 dish would be awesome enough to want to recognize it. A good wait staff can really improve a mediocre meal (especially by communicating your concerns to the kitchen and management), whereas a bad wait staff can ruin a great one. So, a barista. In this situation, he is primarily the cook, because he is not waiting on you. He makes the coffee. He delivers the coffee to you. You pay for the coffee, not the service, especially since there was no service - had he not brought the coffee to you (his only service) then you wouldn't even be receiving what you paid the baseline for. I see no reason to tip in this situation, as not only has there been nothing warranting any 'above and beyond' payment, but there's no possibility for it whatsoever. And, personally: If you want to screw your wait staff out of a great tip, force a certain percentage. I can assure you they will not receive a single penny above it. If you're going to make tipping optional (i.e. not built in to the price), then live up to that. If you're afraid they aren't going to get tipped, and it matters that much, then be honest and raise the rates for food for a large party. I've never been one but I have a feeling the wait staff would rather get stiffed on a single eight-top than eight singles.

Tipping is something you're never going to get a consensus on, especially here. I tip at Starbucks and places like that because I know what it's like to work in customer service. They get treated like poo poo for maybe a little over minimum wage. The least you can do is throw a dollar in their tip jar. Especially if it's a place you go to a lot. I never get charged full price for my coffee anymore, though, so it evens out.

Not really, it's more the same feeling I get when I sit still for too long or settle into a new job. I love what I have but an annoying part of me craves variety. I tend to get caught up in "What Ifs" a lot.

I always fantasize a bit, but I seem to have a longing feeling for the women around me that isn't as prevalent when I'm single. The feeling goes from "Oh that would be nice" to "She belongs on my balls". This doesn't occur during non-relationship sex, just when I'm actually "with" somebody.

I tip if the person behind the counter is especially friendly and interested in the inane poo poo I like to say. Compare the vivacity of a grocery store clerk to a barista some time.
