I should think that ocean currents move faster than that. In Pentland Firth off northern Scotland tidal currents exceed 10 knots. (That's 18,520 meters an hour.)
You give me one good reason why anyone has a natural right not to have their music/words/ideas copied. This isn't food or medicine where you could argue they need it to survive. No one needs to make music for a living.
Please. You're comparing a ninety percent virtually monolithic install vs a fragmented 10%. I'm sure every virus writer is thinking to himself "Well that last worm worked out well, but I've written 96% of my viruses for Windows. I better go after OSX next to keep it in line." They are gonna go for the biggest target, every time.
Strangely enough I do exactly the same thing, no exaggeration. No days off, some days I'll only work 12 hours if I'm tired. On the other hand I generally only work 6 months a year in one to four month blocks.
or just a new section. If you assume that most breaks in the cable occur in fairly localized areas due to increased environmental stresses, increased ship traffic or what have you then you may be able to replace a 50 mile section of cable with say 4 or 5 breaks in it and the new section would have 2 breaks. Of course that assumption may not play out though it seems reasonable to me. Also it would still be a stopgap as you would then see further breaks in that same section over time.
Ok. You're right. And it doesn't matter. Remember they can change the terms of your contract at will. They'll just make using bit torrent against the TOS and then cut it off and there isn't shit you can do about it.
How do you abandon backwards compatibility without severely risking your installed base? Deciding if you want to code your new software for linux, osx, windows or all of the above becomes a very different question when you will have to learn new apis etc. any way you go.
You can know a whole lot about selling advertising without learning anything about branding. Googles area would lead to expertise in the pricing and logistics of advertising. It doesn't necessarily mean they have any idea how to create and use it effectively.
I heard good things about SoaSE on Penny Arcade and went out and bought a copy. I had a lot of fun with it and took it to a friends house. I had noticed that it didn't even ask for the cd key during install so we installed it on his system and played on the lan for a couple days. Then we wanted to play online and he bought two more copies, one for him and his wife. Of course this is only anecdotal evidence but I suspect that it may be a fairly common scenario leading to higher sales on the game.
If dialup is really your only option then I feel sorry for you. However complaining that you can't play a game on an online distribution system because of your slow internet connection is like complaining that you can't play Crysis on a Voodoo Banshee.
Does the school care if you can't download a 5 Gigabyte game? Should they? I'm not gonna argue it one way or the other. I will say though that I've been in situations of limited bandwidth before and it just changes your usage pattern. When I'm downloading the latest episode of Half Life I don't use my cell phone net connection. I go out to someplace with wifi and hang out for an hour while it downloads there.
The driver ALREADY HAS a choice. Just because your phone rings doesn't in any way obligate you to pick it up. Many of my friends don't answer their phones while driving. They just call me back when they get a chance.
Why one or the other? Why couldn't I be dictating an email to my system while using hand gestures to simultaneously do something else? Perhaps web navigation. People often see a new input method and try to envision it as a primary input device when it could be perfectly serviceable alongside something else. I wasn't around so does anyone remember if when the mouse was just coming out of research people saying it would never work?

I've started reserving my modpoints almost entirely to rate causation comments redundant.

What you say is true.
Those rights were created so that society would benefit, not so the individuals would benefit.
The point of those rights was to encourage the creation of new works.
The rights have been expanded to the point that they now frequently prevent the creation of new works.
I think we should respect those rights as far as they promote new works and not any further.
I am particularly against paying money to encourage artists who are dead to make new works.

It doesn't HAVE to be a conspiracy... I mean if YOU were from Nebraska would you tell anyone?

Well if you want to sue yourself having to register first may be the least of your worries.

Of course butter flies! Now how high and far depends on what exactly you use to launch it. ::}

I think it depends on what you mean by price. I can't think of anything off the top of my head that I wouldn't do under the right circumstances.
