They don't always start over. The BSD projects share a lot of code with each other.
If by start over you mean not use GPL code, thats just because they want to use a truly free license, not a restrictive one that tries to pretend its free.
Also, many places where you can get "100Mbps Ethernet," you are getting a 100Mbps shared connection to an oversold (which is not the bad word you probably think it is) transit point. How is that any worse than broadband cable where you are sharing the 5 or 7Mbps they are advertising with your whole neighborhood?
I'd rather 5% of 100Mbps than 5% of 7Mbps.
The problem isn't the 295 obscure linux distros that are all forks of the half-dozen or so mainstream one, but the fact that the mainstream ones are incompatible.
kde/gnome, multiple rc.d systems, multiple shell syntax (eg environment variable setting in sh/csh), multiple package mangers. The multiple choices in distros wouldn't be an issue if they could all pick a single interface.
Even easier, somebody can just modify the policeware to report to them instead of police. If the police and installing this on hacker computers, sooner or later a hacker will find it and exploit it.
If I was the artist, I wouldn't be happy to settle for a percentage of the sale. As the owner of a copyrighted work, I'm entitled to the full sale price regardless of what Microsoft and others may believe. No you aren't. You think the artists now get all the money from a CD sale? At best they get a tiny % and the rest goes to the RIAA.
Even the riaa doesn't get the whole sale price, the store selling it gets their chunk too.
MS is just acting as a middle man and taking their cut as any would -- and they happen to be offering a chunk to the person who referred the sale.
with a percentage going to the person who provided the song How long 'till we start getting music spammed over bluetooth in the hope we will buy it and the spammer will get their cut.
I could see it be a significant problem if its poorly implemented.
mod parent up.
Too bad I don't have mod points, that describes the problems with Linux very well. If only the community would do something about it instead of deny those problems.
I don't see why people get so upset about this. It really isn't a big deal.
If the radio stations don't want pay the extortion rates (or shutdown because they can't afford them) all they have to do is move to another country. IANAL, but its not that hard to incorporate in another country. All they have to do is start a Canadian corporation or something and run it from there. If they can afford the old rates they can afford the few thousand to incorporate in another country.
There is no reason this should have any effect other than hurting the US economy a bit since they will now be getting no royalties instead of the smaller ones.
As someone who worked for the parent company of MDI, I can confirm this.
I was around when they were setting this up. Every time they tried to activate it it pretty much broke their whole network, but I assume they have it up and running full strength by now.

Just use the Chicken language
Most run Windows mobile, Palm OS, or Symbian OS. I don't think any reasonably feature rich ones nowdays are written from scratch.
The iPhone part of that turned out to be made up.
And the kids
Thats what tables are for. CSS decreases the need for tables, its not designed to eliminate them completely.

Just wait 'till the mafiaa partner with the AV companies to detect copyright material.

You bet, I was about to post one.

Good luck building your own motherboard when the tivoization stuff is built into the chipset.
Or your own high performance x86 compatible CPU when the signing enforcements get right into the CPU.

find /mount/cdrom > cd_name.txt
/s /b e:\ > cd_name.txt
wrap it in a shell script if you want to be prompted.
or under windows: dir
It's not that hard, you don't really need any special software.
