But to what degree do the law books say too much is too much? Where is the line as far as the books are concerned?
Well the first amendment says:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
It doesnt say but no advocating harm to someone else, or your inciting a riot, or your yelling fire in a crowded building, or peaceably assembling without a permit or in defiance of the police. Yet you can be arrested for every one of those things. Why? Because judges thought these infringements on the 1st amendment were reasonable. The constitution is amendable for a reason, and amending it is supposed to be the only way to change it. For that reason I would say these things are technically legal despite what any judge says, the framers of the Constitution certainly thought so, and so do I.
It's like Canada, the UK, Australia, and the USA are in a race to reach full Orwellian Status before anyone else does. I don't get it either; these are all supposed to be FREE countries.
What was wrong with 1884? Slavery was over, prohibition hadnt happened yet. Great scientific strides where being made.
That might be the dumbest thing I've read in a long time.
The short answer is NO.
The logic that led to you think that Mac & Linux sales should have doubled due to doubling PC market will likely inhibit you from understanding this...but here it goes anyway.
The only (legitimate) way to get windows is to buy it - so sales == (legitimate) distribution.
Linux, on the other hand is freely available, download from anywhere -- there are no sales figures!!...or were you thinking of support contracts?
Disclaimer: I use Linux. I would be a Mac fanboy - in fact I want to be - except that I can't afford one, or ideally three.
Well I guess I should have said "Should Linux and Mac use have also doubled?" Not all Linux is freely available, see RedHat Enterprise Linux.
Yeah, sure it can. Let's see it play back an HD file (i.e., 720p or 1080i) without hiccups or spending hours re-encoding TS files.
XBMC is great (I retired my own XBMC once I got a 1080p TV), but get your fanboy head out of your ass and accept the fact that it has limitations once you move up into real HD.
Well I guess I will just have to wait for XBMC 360 for HDTV.
Microsoft will be closing its video-sharing site, Soapbox, to new users for up to two months so it can create better safeguards against pirated content.
They are going to solve the problem of people uploading copyrighted video in 2 months? I cant wait.
What are they worried about anyway? A Billion Dollar lawsuit is nothing to them.

1: Build Space port for $33 Million
2: Lease to Richard Branson for $27.5 million for 20 years.
3: Raise taxes!
despite the fact that he's the only blogger that focuses solely on Nortel.
While I suppose it could be true, but its like saying your the only one who does anything. Its a big world out there.
HP was in the media center business?

I dont know about the Internet being a war zone. But I though programmers were more rational than to be making death threats on the internet.
$300 isnt too bad. Seems like phones have been getting too close to PS3 price territory.
There is always live performances, piracy will never kill that for the artists. I wonder if record labels get a cut of that.

If this keeps up where am I going to go when the USA is a police state? Canada? No good, Britain same over there. How about France?

If Windows sales have doubled because the PC market has doubled. Should Linux and Mac sales have also doubled?
Switch to a paper only office, and an air-tube network.
They must mean New York, USSR. Americans would never allow this type of stuff.
Maybe they can get more efficient solar panels out of this, now that would be a disruptive technology.

Finally someone solved this problem. Index fingers rejoice!

If your book was a cheap paper back, say $1.99, I bet you could get the #1 spot for a lot less.
my guess is that it will start with a 'G'
Gnarly Gnome, Gestating Grinch, Glad Gestapo, Gooey Goonie, Garish German, Garnished Goat, Global Geese....
Well does being able to write "Amazon.com Bestselling Author" on your book actually sell books?
Impressive, but I wonder if this interest among PS3 owners will drop off. Especially when GTA IV comes out, or they get next months power bill.
Maybe they will call the next one Dogged Doe, or Bold Bunny, or Expert Elephant, or Leaping Lemar, or Fire Fox, or....
Right now my Xbox with Xbox Media Center is more functional than this. It will play just about anything. Including realmedia files inside of a rar.
