I think it was my first thought after waking up this morning that I used to date Julia Roberts a long time ago.
I also have these unexplained thoughts that I was a fighter pilot in the U.S. military, although I'm not sure which service, but I may have been in two different branches over time. I am also confused about thoughts that I may have been a helicopter pilot. What's next? A space shuttle pilot? Seems like a lot for someone that is only 40. And, while I am not sure when this divergence happened, I am reasonably certain it was before I turned 33. So I must have been a pretty busy guy. Especially because I have thoughts that I was some kind of mathmetician too. I have these thoughts too that I was captured by enemy forces at some point and tortured while in captivity.

[Cochrane's home]
KIRK: You seem to think this Companion of yours can do almost anything.
COCHRANE: I said it was very powerful.
KIRK: Could it cure her?
COCHRANE: I don't know.
KIRK: How do you communicate with it?
COCHRANE: It's on a non-verbal level, but I usually get my message across.
KIRK: We've got to try. We're helpless. See if it can do something.
[Outside Cochrane's home]
KIRK: How do you do it?
COCHRANE: I just sort of clear my mind and it comes.
(He walks to the edge of the garden then stands with his eyes closed. The Companion appears, then moves to envelope him.)
KIRK: Bones, what do you make of that?
MCCOY: Almost a symbiosis of some kind, a sort of joining.
KIRK: Exactly what I think. Not exactly like a pet owner speaking to a beloved animal, would you say?
MCCOY: No, it's more than that.
KIRK: Agreed. More like love.
(The Companion vanishes, so Kirk and McCoy go over to Cochrane.)
MCCOY: Are you all right?
COCHRANE: Yes. It kind of drains me a little, but I'm all right.

Copyright Act of 1976
From Wikipedia [ retrieved by me, Kerry Burgess, 04/07/2022, excerpts ]
The Copyright Act of 1976 is a United States copyright law and remains the primary basis of copyright law in the United States, as amended by several later enacted copyright provisions.[citation needed] The Act spells out the basic rights of copyright holders, codified the doctrine of "fair use", and for most new copyrights adopted a unitary term based on the date of the author's death rather than the prior scheme of fixed initial and renewal terms. It became Public Law number 94-553 on October 19, 1976
Before the 1976 Act, the last major revision to statutory copyright law in the United States occurred in 1909.[citation needed] In deliberating the Act, Congress noted that extensive technological advances had occurred since the adoption of the 1909 Act. Television, motion pictures, sound recordings, and radio were cited as examples. The Act was designed in part to address intellectual property questions raised by these new forms of communication.
Subject matter of copyright
Under section 102 of the Act, copyright protection extends to "original works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression, now known or later developed, from which they can be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated, either directly or with the aid of a machine or device". The Act defines "works of authorship" as any of the following:
literary works,
musical works, including any accompanying words,
dramatic works, including any accompanying music,
pantomimes and choreographic works,
pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works,
motion pictures and other audiovisual works, and sound recordings.
An eighth category, architectural works, was added in 1990.
Exclusive rights
Section 106 granted five exclusive rights to copyright holders, all of which are subject to the remaining sections in chapter 1 (currently, sections 107–122):
the right to reproduce (copy) the work into copies and phonorecords,
the right to create derivative works of the original work,
the right to distribute copies and phonorecords of the work to the public by sale, lease, or rental,
the right to perform the work publicly (if the work is a literary, musical, dramatic, choreographic, pantomime, motion picture, or other audiovisual work), and
the right to display the work publicly (if the work is a literary, musical, dramatic, choreographic, pantomime, pictorial, graphic, sculptural, motion picture, or other audiovisual work).
A sixth exclusive right was later included in 1995 by the Digital Performance Right in Sound Recordings Act: the right to perform a sound recording by means of digital audio.
Fair use
Main article: Fair use
Additionally, the fair use defense to copyright infringement was codified for the first time in section 107 of the 1976 Act. Fair use was not a novel proposition in 1976, however, as federal courts had been using a common law form of the doctrine since the 1840s (an English version of fair use appeared much earlier). The Act codified this common law doctrine with little modification. Under section 107, the fair use of a copyrighted work is not copyright infringement, even if such use technically violates section 106. While fair use explicitly applies to use of copyrighted work for criticism, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research purposes, the defense is not limited to these areas. The Act gives four factors to be considered to determine whether a particular use is a fair use:
the purpose and character of the use (commercial or educational, trans-formative or reproductive, political);
the nature of the copyrighted work (fictional or factual, the degree of creativity);
the amount and substantiality of the portion of the original work used; and
the effect of the use upon the market (or potential market) for the original work.
The Act was later amended to extend the fair use defense to unpublished works.

`Melissa' Crashes, Swamps E-Mails -- An Estimated 100,000 Computers Infected By Virus
The AP
PITTSBURGH - E-mail systems crashed or were swamped at hundreds of companies of all sizes by the "Melissa" computer virus, a computer expert estimated today.
Jeff Carpenter, a team leader for the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, estimated that more than 100,000 computers and hundreds of companies had been infected by the virus.
CERT first learned of the virus Friday afternoon, and its members worked through the night to analyze it, Katherine Fithen, CERT manager, said. She said the full reach of the virus might become clear today when millions of people sit down at their computer terminals for the first time since Melissa emerged.
Fithen declined to say if any government's security was breached and wouldn't name anyone whose files had been damaged. The New York Times reported today that files at Charles Schwab, Lucent Technologies and Intel had been affected.
The Melissa virus spreads via infected e-mail and attacks computers loaded with Microsoft's widely used Word 97 or Word 2000 programs, according to CERT.

'ILOVEYOU' computer bug bites hard, spreads fast
May 4, 2000
Web posted at: 5:57 p.m. EDT (2157 GMT)
By D. Ian Hopper
CNN Interactive Technology Editor
(CNN) -- By midday Thursday, the self-propagating and destructive "ILOVEYOU" virus had already wrought hundreds of millions of dollars in software damage and lost commerce, analysts said.
The virus was first reported in Hong Kong and spread gradually west as a new day dawned, infecting government and business computers. Anti-virus companies in the United States fielded thousands of calls from corporate customers reporting widespread infections.
Two anti-virus companies, Symantec, which makes Norton Anti-Virus, and F-Secure, have developed posted "virus definition" files for the "ILOVEYOU" virus, which is currently known to spread through the Microsoft Outlook e-mail program and through a popular Internet Relay Chat program. Those files have so-called "fingerprints" for the virus, allowing those programs to detect and eliminate it.
"This is fairly big time," said computer security expert Peter Tibbett, who works for ICSA.net of Reston, Virginia, which measures the frequency and cost of viruses on 1 million machines per year.
'LOVE' already costing much
He estimated $100 million in software damage and lost commerce had been caused by 9 a.m. Thursday in North America alone and predicted the price tag would exceed $1 billion by Monday morning.
ICSA.net has 200,000 clients, among them financial institutions, government agencies and corporations, Tibbett said. The Department of Justice used the company's estimates for damage caused by last year's Melissa virus, he said.
"This beats Melissa hands down," Tibbett said.
