"but the family is still suing Virgin Mobile Australia and Creative Commons."
Yeah, go for it... because that will NOT (or at least should not) do anything against those companies. The person of focus should be the photographer, as that was the sole person who initiated the chain of events. The companies using the photos have apparently followed all copyright laws whilst obtaining the picture. Is America this backwards that they will sue just for the sake of suing? Haha, yeah, don't answer that, because it's definitely true.
Also, the end of the article, they are wanting compensation FOR the photographer!!! Shouldn't that family be angered at what he did, I mean it was his fluckin fault after all.
Either that or everything I read is backwards.
Better how? Less-CPU intensive (ie: Linux, etc). There are lots of other things better with other OS', but, as it stands, the developers stick with Windows as that is currently the most user friendly OR most well known OS. Enterprises are the ones that would help make the change to any other OS, but that is a long hill to climb.
Vista is supposed to be a very feature-rich OS. This hinders performance greatly if you wanted to watch some HD-DVDs. You now cannot even encode your own videos in WMV (HD) unless you don't mind the down-scaling. I still don't have Vista myself, but this would be another reason, albeit a small one currently, to not get it. The x264 codec is kick-ass codec for viewing high-res videos. I am betting Microsoft will release a patch or update early 2008 to remove this said "feature".
This article makes perfect sense on every aspect noted. This is exactly why MP3s are so heavily pirated. I must be honest though, I still purchase CDs when I find new music that I like, but I will never ever purchase MP3s with DRM protection.
I think this is a great idea actually. Keep the pool warm, even at night when temperatures drop and the body of water is large enough to continuously stay cool enough to help the temperatures for the computers. But, if corrosion is a problem, you just need to pay attention to the tubing. Once it gets noticeably weaker, just replace them. Wouldn't be a problem for someone with a pool that nice, haha.

So get the 64-bit Windows XP/Vista OS. Then you won't "lose" your precious "minerals".
