FL-122 discusses copyrights in regards to recipes. (I have no idea what FL stands for.)

For further information about copyright, see Circular 1, Copyright Basics. Note that if your recipe has secret ingredients that you do not want to reveal, you may not want to submit it for registration, because applications and deposit copies are public records.

Deposit requirements depend on whether a work has been published at the time of registration:

• If the work is unpublished, one complete copy
• If the work was first published in the United States on or after January 1, 1978, two complete copies of the best edition
• If the work was first published outside the United States, one complete copy of the work as first published
• If the work is a contribution to a collective work and was published after January 1, 1978, one complete copy of the best edition of the collective work or a photocopy of the contribution itself as it was published in the collective work

Dash, my Rav told me that’s enough.

But he was talking about Kashering off the factory seasoning which is applied as a liquid and not heated directly on a flame. For such an application Libbun Kal is enough.

So is it a good thing or a bad thing if the sheitel covers the knees?

It depends if it just covers the knees or reaches 4 inches past the knees.

I’d be extremely hesitant to do business if the only payment method accepted is bitcoin.

He’s currently in Brazil but you can call his Shul at 718-782-4553 to make an appointment.

Cell phones in the US work on a different frequency range than in Israel so it also needs to be a world phone, eliminating the cheap phones.

He never memorized the speed of light, his reasoning being that it was a waste of effort for something printed in every physics book.

Actually, the way WP works is that the site name is a setting.

There is a big difference between how sites should be coded and how they actually are coded.

I’ve seen enough programs that look for “C:Windows” when they should be looking for “%SystemRoot%”

EDIT: “a” is apparently not for linking, as at least links to YWN pages are linked automatically.

If you type a full URL such as http://www.theyeshivaworld.com it will turn into a link but if you want it displayed like Yeshiva World News – Frum Jewish News you need “a” tags.

Some are paper.

The likelihood of them being paper depends on what region it is manufactured in. Asian hats are likely to be made of paper (toyo or shantung) while American (North or South) hats are likely straw.

Assuming that the content was “demeaning Torah, halacha and gedolim” I was just quoting the aforementioned Rabbi’s response to R’ Ovadia Yosef’s psak.

If the quote is what I think it is, it just shows Bar-Hayim’s narrow-mindedness. While I usually don’t quote the Forward on YWN, I think they got this one right:

What if someone gets ideas from the hoax?

An idea isn’t enough, they’d have to get a drug that’s powerful enough to knock someone out but still be able to handle it without hazmat gear.

I Thought it was Tikun Middos HaNefesh, not Mivchar HaPeninim. As far as the wording goes, the Hebrew translations came later.

The Rambam is quoting Ibn Gabirol. The work known today as Orchos Tzadikim is primarily based on Ibn Gabirol.

I do worry about items that come from tzedaka campaigns – am I obligated to pay for the book – even if I didn’t want it, and my budget doesn’t include books.

(b) Any merchandise mailed in violation of subsection (a) of this section, or within the exceptions contained therein, may be treated as a gift by the recipient, who shall have the right to retain, use, discard, or dispose of it in any manner he sees fit without any obligation whatsoever to the sender. All such merchandise shall have attached to it a clear and conspicuous statement informing the recipient that he may treat the merchandise as a gift to him and has the right to retain, use, discard, or dispose of it in any manner he sees fit without any obligation whatsoever to the sender.

It doesn’t bother me that they have overhead, but if someone else can do the same job with less overhead, that’s where my money will go.

How do the international sports work do they all speak spanish (brasil)or english?

Why would they speak Spanish in Brazil? Just about any international sport has rules regarding language.

Official languages

1. English, Spanish, French and German are the official languages of FIFA. English is the official language for minutes,

correspondence and announcements.

2. Members are responsible for translations into the language of their Ccountry.

3. English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Arabic and Portuguese are the official languages at the Congress.

Qualified interpreters shall translate into these languages. Delegates may speak in their mother tongue if they ensure

interpretation into one of the official Congress languages by a qualified interpreter.

4. The Statutes, Regulations Governing the Application of the Statutes, the Standing Orders of the Congress,

decisions and announcements of FIFA shall be published in the four official languages. If there is any divergence in the

wording, the English text is authoritative.

The majority of children will not be eligible.

I don’t have the numbers but find this hard to believe. In most of the country schools are located in the residential neighborhoods they serve but in Lakewood many schools are located in industrial zones or other municipalities.

And many of those who are will have intolerably long rides,

I don’t believe that either. What makes bus rides long is the number of stops, not the distance traveled. Even with reduced bussing, Lakewood will still have much more eligible students per square mile than the national average.

The only letter I saw has no letterhead and no signatures. Are there any other letters out there?

Also, being that the letter encourages all students to be transported by car it can’t be an accurate reflection of what will happen if some children are denied bussing.

Where are we up to now?

What’s an oicture?

Sorry, we’re still not letting it through. Moderator-100

What am I missing? Don’t unapproved threads simply disappear?

That depends on whether the moderator deletes it or approves and edits it. -100

The way to accurately tell time at night is with star charts, almanac, and astrolabe. I don’t think the general population had easy access to these items.

My earlier post on the importance of towels didn’t make it through. Maybe due to copyright issues but I can’t be certain.

I’m assuming you cut and pasted or you wouldn’t be wondering – 29

the rule that Rav vs. R’ Yochanan halacha keR’ Yochanan would pasken that maariv is in fact a chov

The rule only applies when the gemara brings down the disagreement.
