Regardless, they are doing it the right way now. But no, this is slashdot. Instead, lets think of highly unlikely situations where someone is sharing their internet connection over wifi, and some neighbor, who has a virus, downloaded a song...
Geesh folks. If you think copyright is wrong, go to court, try to convince them that you are in the right to download copyrighted material. Try to convince the lawmakers to void copyright. Try to convince the RIAA that you are actually making more sales by downloading. Try taking responsibility for your actions.
Some friends and I lived together at one point and we had a "dishes" issue one time. Someone left dishes in the sink full of water and leftovers. So, after a couple days it began to really stink. My solution after about a week was to move all the dishes into the bathtub. By the time I got home from work that day all the dishes and the kitchen and bathrooms were cleaned. All you have to do is make sure it is a priority and the dishes will get done.
Perhaps he was hoping his daughter might be smart enough how to act in public. Evidently he was wrong. If someone cannot figure out that there are expected and acceptable behaviours where they are, perhaps they shouldn't be making any choices on their own.
Ah, there is that thing called parenting. Sometimes kids don't get to make the choices, the parent does. Until you can pay your own bills and move your butt out, you live by your parents rules. That alone is a lesson everyone needs to learn.
In the US we have stupid people suing for spilling coffee on their laps.
In the US we have smokers suing tobacco producers.
In the US we have anti-gun nuts trying to make gun manufacturers liable for how the weapons are used.
If I were a company that worked on high end image manipulation software or high end printing devices, yes, I would put anti-counterfitting into my products. Negligence does not mean what it used to. At one point negligence required the consumer of the product to take a certain amount of personal responsibility, evidently that is not a trait well liked by many folks out there now.
Well, I have done a large amount of research at home with working with a vacuum. It really does not seem that difficult. My test subjects were my cats, Millie and Callie.
Required supplies: vacuum, floor, two cats. Millie hates the vacuum and runs and hides in the closet. Callie loves the vaccum and runs around like a wild beast when the vacuum is running (I think cause she hates Millie and its the time she has to run around without being bothered by Millie).
So, all we need in space is closets. Closets will protect us from the vacuum.
I would think that RMS would show up as John the Baptist, minus his aquaphobia... However, he does look like someone who would eat locust and wear camels hair.
Herod would have to be someone who hated RMS, er John, enough to have his head chopped off.
Assuming you make $85000 US (Michgan) or $85000 CN (Ontario):
From doing quick back of a napkin work:
Paying in US: $18270 (21%) Paying in CN: $24740 (29%)
Also, keep in mind I did not figure for deductions at all (even standard deductions in US)(or Canadian since I do not know their tax system well enough).
But looking at this, the first 12.6 minutes of each hour is spent working for the government in the US, the first 17.4 minutes are working for the Canadian government. I know which one I prefer.
I also know my taxes in the US will be lower, since I did not do any deductions (even standard deduction, and also charity, mortgage interest, etc...). I would assume Canadian would have similar deductions though.
Hey, if they do not provide a service better than google, why would I switch to slower search results?
Yahoo used to provide a service better than most search engines, yet after google came out with better a better search engine, I switched. Now yahoo uses google, why do I not switch back? Because google is just as good, so there is no reason to leave the status quo.
I tried this earlier (around noon) when I saw the article. One of my big complaints is that the searches seem to take too long. Google usually is sub-second searches, this seemed to take about 3-5 seconds (this was well before slashdot posted the article, so it wasn't slashdot effect either).
Also, I already do not like the search results showing up in the sidebar with search engines (with mozilla), as that is one of the features I kill as soon as I install mozilla. So, I guess, this search engine has a ways to go before I prefer it.
The searches didn't seem too bad over all, I tried looking for "linux kodak 4530" and its results were not any better or worse than googles. I tried a couple other searches and they seem to be on target about as well as google though.
That's why I always have on eye in the digital camera viewfinder when I am driving... So I can get a picture of the idiot with the cell phone plastered to his ear if he causes me to get into an accident.
Setting it up under gentoo was childs play with CUPS. Just read their documentation. My wife does the church bulletins (50 pages a week double sided (we have to manually flip them)) and we have been using the printer for since last may. In that time we have had to replace the toner once at about $70 for the "big" toner cartriage. I'll need to send out the old cart for refill somewhere.
If you do not want to limit yourself to just a measely little red planet hoever, you might want to pick up this book, often considered the definitive work on the universe.
Dr. Adams may well be most remembered for this work detailing not only travel through the universe in the heart of gold, but also covers travel through time also. There are lessons within this excellent tome that could even help you fly without the assistance of any mechanical devices. This is a must have book especially if you have ever pondered the secret of life, the universe, and everything.
Actually the 3.2.8 drivers seem to work pretty decently for me. I actually get better performace in ET under linux than in windows with their cat 3.8 drivers.
Also, ATI has promised (not fulfilled yet) their bi-monthy release of linux drivers. However, I have a hunch this time around they were waiting for 2.6 release of the kernel and are now probably waiting for the xfree86 4.4 release before releasing. Give or take a couple days after xfree86 4.4 for testing would be wise too, since they probably do not want this nvidia fiasco of games not working.
Here's the deal. You make money, you spend it how you want.
If he wants to throw away his money on lights, energy, and entertainment, so be it. Consider that someone needs to work the Christmas light making plants and power facilities to create and power those lights. It seems to me by spending his money he is allowing others to work to make those products, which is far better than simpley handing out money to someone holding a sign saying, "Poor, need money."
All the orc actors ate the sheep. Do you know many many sheep it takes to feed thousands and thousands of orcs and goblins? Why do you think they were going to eat hobbits, cause they were out of sheep!

Its called slashcode I think...
Um, flashcode... No.. that's not it...
Um, lashdot... No, that't not quite right...
Hmmm... try this: http://www.slashcode.com/

Comparing a flat number... would you like me to redo it with a conversion between US and CN dollars? It will make the CN tax rate higher, not lower.

I'll take 20 letter words for 100 Alex...
What word is the fifth letter in the acronym VASIMR?
2 is simple:
Sing this while you are beating down the street vendors:
Bad boys, bad boys. Whacha gonna do?
Whacha gonna do when they come for you?
Oh yeah, um, (c) someone else who owns the rights to the song.
Developers! Developers! Developers!
I don't watch much TV, so I have not seen the comercial. But did the "little boy" look like an over weight middle aged man?

What are you doing, treating your colds with bacardi 151? Or are you weighing in at 50 pounds?
That's why I always have on eye in the digital camera viewfinder when I am driving... So I can get a picture of the idiot with the cell phone plastered to his ear if he causes me to get into an accident.
Yes, we now know birds are not all that intelligent, hence why we call people like (lets pick a random actor) Uma Thurman a bird brain.
Wind turbines kill birds because of bird error, your point?
I'll put my ditto behind the HL-1440 also.
