Copyright Awareness Program...
Visit the "Max. your download speed" course!
Seriously... Put a bunch of people who have been torrenting/downloading in a room, und guess what will happen...
I am looking forward to see the results of these brainstormings!
As you made your Photoshop point pretty clear...
For me Gimp IS pretty close to Photoshop.
Of course I am not doing professional image editing, but so is the majority of people who use Photoshop as a replacement for MS Paint.
They use it because a friend gave them this wonderful editing software where they can use this magic wand and edit contrast and brightness.
You are right, Gimp is probably not even close to Photoshop for a professional user, but it is for Joe Sixpack.
A lot of people here are writing things like
"He did something illegal, so no shit he got fired"
or
"He downloaded and watched the whole movie..."
For me the important point is the freedom of press!
A chinese writer reporting about the problems in tibet is also acting against the law - chinese law of course. But isnt a good journalist supposed to report about "delicate" events?
Dont get me wrong, I am not going to equate a hollywood movie with the problems in tibet, but a journalist should report about things the authorities dont want to hear.
And I for one will prefere medias who appreciate such behavior.
Many years ago it was the first player (the first I knew of course) that could playback about anything without crying about missing codecs.
Since this time its one of the first things I install when setting up a new computer.
Maybe there are better players out there, but VLC is lightweight and simple, and I dont care about the UI anymore when watching fullscreen.
It's useful to know that this will also pause your terminal!
When I startet to use linux I sometimes hit Ctrl-S by mistake when I tried to end a session with Ctrl-D, and was wondering why the terminal "died"
Each time we have a question, instead of thinking we could access the net of minds. Instead of thinking...
That's some point I am worried about, as it is something we are facing too often already.

Aah, forget the blackjack...
I knew what XKCD you are posting before even opening the link... Damn, I am to often here on slashdot...
I am a little disappointed of the slashdot community... I just checked somegobbledygook@mailinator.com, and not a single response :-(
