US cell phones are really fucked up. I was (probably am) going to get a sprint lg 5250 cell phone. It has most of the features I was looking for. Then Verizon comes out with a new set of plans that allow you to use you phone nation wide with out roaming, which was on of the main reasons for choosing sprint. But, and this is the really crappy part I don’t like any of the verizon phones on there web site. The Lg 5250 is really small and dare I say it cute. I wouldn’t mind a nokia 3360 or 8260 but those are only available on att and voicestream.

Why can’t I get the phone I like on the provider I like

This is on Slashdot at the moment
An anonymous reader submits: “According to an article from law.com, yesterday’s decision by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (U.S.) will have far-reaching effects on web publishing. From the article: ‘… The court found that reproducing photographs to create thumbnail images is a fair use of the material, but displaying full-sized images violates the copyright owner’s exclusive right to publicly display his works….But the court found that displaying the full-sized images through linking and framing was not transformative and harmed the market for the original photographs.’ One lawyer is quoted as saying, ‘It’s basically going to do away with linking or framing without permission.'”

Bollocks, my email @dirk.demon.co.uk is down. Seems they don’t like my credit card. I will update my livejournal email to go to another account until I can sort this out tomorrow morning.
