Humans and Neanderthals are both sub-species of a parent species rather then distinct species (the normal test, although AFAIK by no means definitive is if humans and neanderthals could have fertile offspring then they were both sub-species of a parent species, if they couldn't then while they evolved from a particular species, they were separate species themselves. Much like humans and chimpanzees evolved from a common ancestor but are in fact different species).
If you can afford whatever this will cost once its patented you can afford a hooker to simply jack you off once an hour, every hour for the rest of your life.
Because when Gmail was first launched there was a big privacy outcry and Google came out assuring us it was all about nothing. They made it sound like they didn't harvest e-mails.
The problem is Google doesn't spell out how they use your data. I believed that Google only displayed ads based on what was on the page when I opened an e-mail. They MIGHT do this, or they might scour the e-mail for information and attach it to my username. I don't know. When Gmail was first launched Google made it sound like they did the former, only after reading the privacy policy did I realize they left themselves open to do the latter.
You'd still be able to extort quite a bit of money from people first. Although it has to involve the internet or it won't get approved. I wish I was kidding.
What I've heard is that it was considered by many and rejected as a security risk. Back then having to enter in your CC number and details was considered a security feature. If Amazon managed to store this data securely in an innovative way that part should have been patented, not the whole thing.
If that was the case Chinese workers would be paid minimum wage by American companies. They're not, so I think you've got your wires crossed (I've never heard of a pedophile being arrested and charged in America solely on what he did in another country).
Again why does the American government care? If it cared about the end result it would impose sanctions on China rather then punish companies for complying with local law. The American government has done nothing to stop the Chinese government, so this committee is a non-starter.
Because it aided them in increasing their finances.
Now is this committee a bunch of commies or is it going to realize this is a perfectly valid reason? After all, an American company operating in China in the first place is reasonable because of the pursuit of money.
If they officially abstained the format would be approved (or denied approval). By abstaining by not voting, they're able to protest much more effectively.
Of course it is. What they did was embraced it (asked to be approved as an open standard), extended it (put a whole lot of countries onto it). Now all that's left is for them to extinguish it (wait in the coming weeks for Microsoft's FUD about ISO).
Piracy is based upon "lack of permission". The big one's have a big stick and lots of padding that the small guy doesn't. And yet its the big ones that don't allow distribution via p2p and bittorrent while the small ones do. It seems like this big stick and padding only lets them bully their fans.
If an author decided to go into another line of work due to piracy? How many times has this happened to musicians? I'd certainly love to hear it.
Because musicians are hurt so much by piracy. Oh wait, no they're not. The small ones freely allow others to copy and distribute their music while the big ones are still making more then enough to support their coke habits. Guess authors don't have so much to worry about then.
Almost everything is in a repository, and if not then it's in a.deb or an.rpm. I can't think of any program at all, let alone one a cli-afraid n00b would use A mud client. MUDs are alive and well and much more approachable for your average user then cli.
I guess people have a mental block to typing commands. Every time someone has to go into the terminal Linux has failed. It was realized long ago that GUI are superior to the average user then command line, but try to tell this to your average Linux fanboy and they'll argue with you until they're blue in the face.
Also, fining someone $1 per song isn't by any means a punishment or a deterrent. The fine needs to be higher than the going rate of 99 cents a song, otherwise people will have no qualms about illegally downloading songs and only paying up if they get caught. This is a civil matter. In civil matters you can only pay actual damages. It would be a prosecutors job to make sure she didn't do this again.
If she actually did share a song with someone, there's no way to tell how many times she made that song available. Let's say she only shared 1 song with 10 people, but then those 10 people shared that song with another 10 people, and so on and so forth. That isn't how copyright infringement works. If I sell a pirated CD to one person and that person then goes on to sell several copies to other people, I'm only responsible for the first sale.
Yes, it is not the 3-click install procedure that Windows users are used to, but that fact has saved me a lot of headaches in terms of helping people who use Linux. Yes I'm sure being unable to install legitimate software that someone wants causes you a great deal less stress. It also frustrates the end user and causes them to move back to something usable.
The truth is that it is a trade-off: convenience is traded for security. Linux would be even more secure if it got rid of a GUI. It'd be a lot less convenient, but then again being unable to install legitimate software is damn inconvenient too.

Unless I'm getting a discount there's no way I'd allow my fat to be turned into soap.

How is this a troll? The AC is 100% correct.
It might be in a repository for Ubuntu, but not openSUSE. If something isn't in your distro's repository, you're SOL.

Considering this is the land of the goatse posts and I've never heard of commtech before, how do I know this isn't a virus PDF?
What about people who don't own computers connected to the internet? Can they get their license fee lower?

How do I do install Synaptic? I tried a google search and nothing came up for openSUSE.
Damn, that's handy. Thanks.
