Slashdot Mirror

1. Governments and schools adopting Free Software and/or other competitive solutions, which must include the US government
2. AOL and other ISPs bundling, supporting, and advertising non-MS operating systems
3. Superior competing software (minor compared to the above factors)

No offense, but the word piracy in the non-violent theft sense has been around for a while now... at least as far back as pirated radio.

While that use of "piracy" originated from an allusion to historical piracy, in its present form it can be used either way.

Words evolve, and you can't use a word's etymological history to prove or disprove the "real" meaning of a word.

Many words that are commonplace nowadays had completely different meanings in the past.

When people started calling the copying of software and music "piracy", it was more in reference to pirate radio, pirated cable, etc. It just followed that convention.

Note this:

piracy
n. pl. piracies
1. a. Robbery committed at sea.
b. A similar act of robbery, as the hijacking of an airplane.
2. The unauthorized use or reproduction of copyrighted or patented material: software piracy.
3. The operation of an unlicensed, illegal radio or television station.

You can try to increase the popularity of an alternative word in an attempt to reduce the use of "piracy" to describe illegal copying, but you can't just claim the word is incorrect.

Just like "surf" and "chat" gained new meanings, so did "piracy".

Hey, alright, ACs throwing around plagiarism insults. What, don't have the balls to post with your account? Did it occur to you that the parent actually wrote the article?

No? That's what I thought. Oh, And while you're still feeling smug about your intellectual superiority, I think you need some spelling lessons

While you may be correct in your nitpicking of the previous posters use of terminology, didn't you know there is no such word as virii?


http://www.linuxmafia.com/~rick/faq/

Clearly states
`By the way, the ill-informed lucubrations of a Slashdot writer to the contrary, there is no such word as "virii". The plural of this English word is "viruses". (The word was borrowed and redefined from the Latin word virus = slime, poison, or venom. In Latin, that is a 2nd declension neuter noun, whose nominative plural form is now unclear, since it seems that nobody ever used one -- and it doesn't appear to work like either a standard "-us" or "-um" noun, whose plural behaviours are known. In other words, it doesn't have a Latin plural, possibly because it was a mass noun rather than a countable one.)'

Corroborating information is available

here

Even though the plural of virus is viruses, I could understand you saying viri instead (since the plural of cactus is either cactuses or cacti and the plural of octopus is either octopuses or octopi). But virii? Thats just waaaay to many 'i's.

I would rather throw out Windows out of the computer...

Now that's what I call defenestration!

Please, learn the proper English plural of the word 'virus.'

There's no need to be making up words in hopes of sounding smarter. You only end up looking silly.

That's a lot of i's for the end of a word that looks a lot like cactus or octopus or rebus or syllabus in it's singular form. Oddly enough, like those others, the plural of virus doesn't have all those i's at the end. It's just plain "viruses", man.

I could see where it might be "viri", maybe; catci and octopi both set that precedent. But not "virii". That's just nasty. Can you imagine someone using "rebii" or "cactii"? Or maybe even "trojii" and "worii", while we're adding i's to everything that can infect your PC.

Anyway, I don't mean to harp on you, necessarily. It's just that "virii" is the literary equivalent of fingernails on a blackboard. I'm not the only one with this hangup either, although I have mixed feelings about being in the same boat as Tom Christiansen on any issue...

You Matt, are a Moron.

Please consider consulting here before your next post.

And I so loved the Matt Dance , you broke my heart.

bimonthly (b-mnthl)
adj.

1. Happening every two months.
2. Happening twice a month; semimonthly.

adv.

1. Once every two months.
2. Twice a month; semimonthly.

However, it also says:

"Usage Note: Bimonthly and biweekly mean "once every two months" and "once every two weeks." For "twice a month" and "twice a week," the words semimonthly and semiweekly should be used. Since there is a great deal of confusion over the distinction, a writer is well advised to substitute expressions like every two months or twice a month where possible. However, each noun form has only one sense in the publishing world. Thus, a bimonthly is published every two months, and a biweekly every two weeks."

Bitmapped formats represent an image as a series of pixels, whereas vector formats represent an image as a series of mathematical formulas. Photographs are generally best used in bitmapped formats, whereas graphics such as a line drawing are generally best used in vector formats. The biggest advantage to vector formats is that they are "scaleable." This means that if you need to print the image either very large or very small, it will automatically resize. If you were to try and do this with a bitmapped format, you would see jagged edges and would loose the detail of the image. For further information of formats go to http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/~mxr/gfx/2d-hi.html. Bitmapped Formats: BMP: Windows Bitmaps. This is the standard bitmap format supported by Microsoft Windows. The standard VGA driver does not properly decompress 8-bit compressed BMP files; for best color viewing, you should load a 256-color or higher Windows video driver, which should eliminate this problem. GIF: CompuServe GIF. CompuServe, an on-line service, developed the GIF format to provide good file compression and relatively fast decompression speed. GIF is a very popular format for online services, but is limited to a maximum of 256 colors. JPG, JPE, JPEG: JPEG (JFIF) Files. The JPEG format was developed to provide a high degree of compression for images. It is a "lossy" compression method, meaning that some color information from the original is lost. JPEG is generally appropriate for photographed or scanned images, and works best for 24-bit sources. JPEG is generally inappropriate for any type of line-drawn art.

The standard VGA driver does not properly decompress 8-bit compressed BMP files; for best color viewing, you should load a 256-color or higher Windows video driver, which should eliminate this problem. GIF: CompuServe GIF. CompuServe, an on-line service, developed the GIF format to provide good file compression and relatively fast decompression speed. GIF is a very popular format for online services, but is limited to a maximum of 256 colors. JPG, JPE, JPEG: JPEG (JFIF) Files. The JPEG format was developed to provide a high degree of compression for images. It is a "lossy" compression method, meaning that some color information from the original is lost. JPEG is generally appropriate for photographed or scanned images, and works best for 24-bit sources. JPEG is generally inappropriate for any type of line-drawn art.

What is the mission of Bayonet.Net? Bayonet.Net provides clipart, digital images, video, and sound files relevant to the United States Army for sale. Samples of the clipart and digital images are available free of charge on the world wide web. These materials are intended for general use to include web-design and military briefings, publications, and training material. How do I copy images from the web site to my computer? To save an image to your computer, right click on the thumbnail and select "Save Target As..." (Exact command may vary depending on which browser you are using.) Ensure that you save the target of the thumbnail and not the actual thumbnail itself. The thumbnails are small, low-quality representations of the actual file. Thumbnails are designed to load quickly and allow you to browse all images. However, they are low quality and will not display well in presentations or printed material. By single clicking on a thumbnail, you will generally be able to see the actual image. However this only works with GIF and JPG files. This technique will not work with WMF, CGM, and other types of files. The only way to view these actual images is to save them to your computer using the right click technique above. After you have saved them to your computer, you can use other software such as Microsoft Power Point to view the files. See the section on What software do I need to view the files? for more information. Are the images on the site or CD copyrighted? Bayonet.Net copyrights this web site design and layout and the compilation of files. Individual image files are collected from the public domain.

This site and the CD contain graphic files in the formats listed below. Formats are divided into bitmapped, vector, and movie and sound formats. Bitmapped formats represent an image as a series of pixels, whereas vector formats represent an image as a series of mathematical formulas. Photographs are generally best used in bitmapped formats, whereas graphics such as a line drawing are generally best used in vector formats. The biggest advantage to vector formats is that they are "scaleable." This means that if you need to print the image either very large or very small, it will automatically resize. If you were to try and do this with a bitmapped format, you would see jagged edges and would loose the detail of the image. For further information of formats go to http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/~mxr/gfx/2d-hi.html. Bitmapped Formats: BMP: Windows Bitmaps. This is the standard bitmap format supported by Microsoft Windows.
