What's the legal definition of "film student"?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What's the legal definition of "film student"?
The ruling just says "Educational uses by college and university professors and by college and university film and media studies students". I'd be really surprised if it ever actually got interpreted by a court, but I suspect that in practice it'll be treated as "students doing coursework for film/video/media studies classes" rather than something like "you must be enrolled in a capital-F Film School and no other kind."
(It'll also be fairly easy to use the non-commercial remix exception for work in other kinds of classes, so the restriction isn't really much. But it's a matter of wonky ranty educational philosophy for me that audio and visual media should be treated like print, which isn't treated differently depending on whether it's a literature class or not; it's generally recognized that reading applies to all disciplines.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, are there not many 1TB harddrives available for the MacBook Pro? Is this a good one? [link]

The 1 TB drives are pretty new in laptop size. I don't believe Seagate is making one yet which is what I'm waiting for to use in my machines.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Now that I've upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard (er...a few months ago), I'm getting around to setting up Time Machine. I'm backing up to an external HD that's plugged into my Airport Extreme base station. I've downloaded TimeMachineEditor to change the backup interval, because doing it hourly is crazy. Anyone have any other useful Time Machine suggestions?

All is well that ends in pizza.
-- allow computer owners to bypass the need for external security devices called dongles if the dongle no longer works and cannot be replaced.
All praise LOC, LOC is wise.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Apple has new iMacs, a 27" display, the Magic Trackpad, (which I will probably end up getting), and, finally, new Mac Pros (available in August).

the Magic Trackpad
Oh man, I want that for my work machine! Except it's an old G5 with no bluetooth. BOO.

I wonder if you can use a bluetooth USB dongle?

Wouldn't help - Snow Leopard only runs on Intel.
