    Well Apple invented nothing just like how ford didn't invent anything with Model T.

    Enough with that already.... its obvious.... and also obviously off topic.

    For your info Google, Samsung both formally backed Apple on this to prevent Qualcomm from further abusing their monopoly to raise prices further.

    They definitely have lots of resources.

    Many people have no idea about "P2P". So they go to a place and buy a disk that comes from a factory[1] much like those used to make the originals. And they stick it in their DVD/Bluray player, and it works. No need for all that fancy master key stuff. If it doesn't work, they return to the seller and get it swapped for another disk - doesn't even have to be the same movie!

    So there certainly are counterfeit Bluray disks out there, with sleeves, packaging etc. Strangely many of them don't copy the original packaging but make their own with "Engrish" descriptions etc.

    This HDCP bullshit and other crap (region restrictions) hurts the legit purchasers far more than the pirates.

    Starting the students on Vista is more like training gladiators with swords made out of aluminum foil.

    In swordfighting, the parry movement means when the enemy is about to stab you, you use your own sword to push his sword away quickly.

    With Windows Vista, you get this pop-up in the middle of combat:

    "Windows needs your permission to continue

    you haven't been reading the right sources. try this search and read the first few links.

    that said, anyone who's read the silmarillion and missed the obvious paradise lost influence in the ainulindale is a moron. moreover, the whole world is massively influenced by the medieval "everything was perfect, then there was the Fall, now it's all going to pieces" worldview.
