I agree 100%. They always say that they're losing money, but a majority of people who pirate the stuff only do so because they want to play around with it. Photoshop, for example. As it stands today, I'm 18 years old with a barely-above minimum wage job and could never afford to purchase a copy of it. I don't need to. However, I enjoy playing with it, so I pirate it and voila, now I have something to play with. They didn't lose any money; I wasn't ever going to pay for it. Now later on down the road, I realize I liked it and can get into some work doing it. I will purchase it then, since I'm making money from it and I don't want to run into problems with my images being produced from a pirated software. In this case, they MADE money from piracy. Same with music, if I absolutely never pirated music, I still wouldn't buy CDs. 13 bucks for the cheaper ones is outrageous, the CDs cost mere cents to produce, and MAYBE a dollar to cover advertisements, then another dollar or 2 for the artist, and the rest goes right into the pockets of the Record Labels. Absolutely not, I'll just download it thank you. And even if I wasn't going to download it, I'd just listen to internet radio stations. Fuck you RIAA/MPAA/Universal.
Those ones that roll up and are made of mostly rubber seem like they could get washed with a sponge while still in use, though I've never seen them in person, only online.

If you think about it, it's probably not how they meant it to come out. When I program things with error display, I normally have the error stored in a variable, then later displayed with generic advice afterward. They probably had it so it would display whatever error you came across, be it this one or any other, then the generic advice to fix such an error would be to go into SETUP and change something.
*prepares to be stoned*
There should be a rule. If the cop doesn't think you're breaking the law, you don't think you're breaking the law, and I don't think you're breaking the law, then you aren't breaking the law.
I wouldn't have the first clue how, but someone should turn the theoretical into actual. It wouldn't work for all types of web systems, such as those that are dynamic, but static data such as video would work great.
A good way to serve it would be using the technology that TPB is known for; BitTorrent. Have the server be the main seed, then once people download it they can help with the distribution of the videos. If you could incorporate the BT protocol into a web browser, you could substantially lift the load off of the server.
You're forgetting the variable. There may perhaps be a dog. The dog would then chase the cat, making the cat not there to hear the big bang. If no one is in the forest to hear the tree drop, the big bang doesn't happen.
You don't even need to do that. It's simple, whenever you get gas, reset your trip odometer (I've never seen a car without one).
Next time, take the number of gallons you just put in to your car, divide it into the number of miles you went, and boom, average MPG.
Not quite as informative if you're looking at city vs. highway, but I generally fill up once every week or 2, and I think about how fast I've averaged. If I went over 3 cities a few times, I'd say it's leaning towards highway speeds.
Pay me all the money that would be dumped into this otherwise:D
It's the first instantiation that matters.. Applets are so uncommon that the average user will only come across them once per reboot.
The same goes for normal webpages, the first time you load it it obviously takes longer. The only difference is, the web page has considerably less information (and usability) to send you. With more interactivity and flashiness, you need to download more. This is why the speed of internet constantly speeds up, because more and more websites take up more and more bandwidth. This is just a cycle, think back when images were considered way too large and no one thought that they could be used without driving the user away; what they actually did was lead to faster connection, which meant audio was served, faster connection, ect.
I'm pretty sure I've seen this exact suggestion, and even on/.
I distinctly remember someone making the point of "who gets to decide what a bank is. And what about things like paypal, who specifically say they aren't a bank, but we still use them like a bank".
The first amendment can be interpreted many ways. Personally, I think that they mean "freedom of speech, so long as it doesn't harm others". Yelling Fire in a crowded movie theater is a very likely way to get someone hurt. Other than something like this, however, I feel freedom of speech means anything. This includes slander. I should be able to say "George Bush had sex with 15 men last night, no doubt about it" and not catch any shit for it.
There's no way it can really have protection. It's a random-seeming combination of letters and numbers. Under US copyright law ect. you can't copyright a generic phrase or non-unique idea, such as trying to copyright the word "fish". It already exists, and you didn't make it. Same with this key, it already existed, they just chose that particular one. Otherwise, I could claim I copyright all possible hex keys by posting the whole list on my website, then AACS is in violation of using my hex key. Have they actually sued anyone? I don't think they can, or would even bother, knowing full well they can't copyright a hex code, especially since it's been around since hex was invented, far before they chose it as their key.
So basically what they're saying is if I make a song and tell anyone anywhere that they can play my song on the radio any time they want for free, the RIAA can still charge them to playing my song, that has nothing to do with the RIAA? This is absolute crap, and I'm absolutely amazed that the RIAA is still in existence with tactics like these.
They could just say "It's all Microsoft's" fault. Everyone else seems to be too lazy to come up with their own ideas as to what causes what, and MS seems to be the scapegoat for everything simply because they make a good product. Blow me if you disagree.
Well doesn't light travel at a constant speed? Though thinking about it, the speed itself is measured based on time and the perspective of time changes outside of Earth.
My head hurts.

...in which case we would compare against the AVERAGE price of Windows, not the highest.

I'm so confuzzled.
Or just spend the $180 on a better processor. Look, better performance, and far better than the USB key provides.

Not to mention the billions of other websites with black text on dark blue background or vice versa. My eyes hurt just thinking about them.
They're already this high, the execs will just see it as "more money for them".
You hated it from the beginning, got paid next to nothing, and came home smelling like grease every night?

After which, without investigating whatsoever, the AACS will promptly sue them, for *puts pinky to mouth* one billion dollars!
They have this already, it's called "Slashdot". No one reads the articles here, and as for moderating the posts we all do that is it stands.

The second I saw the word Russia in the headline I knew a Soviet Russia joke would be in the comments somewhere...
ROFL he said a funny word. "begets" lol...
