Since ATI and NVidia don't seem to be listening, couldn't this be included in something like the open source Noveau drivers? I know the 3D is still seriously lacking, but hopefully, some day, they will be up to speed and then adding something like what you suggested should be relatively simple, right?

It seems CETA was written sometime in february when ACTA looked like a done deal, so it is natural that it contains the same language. But it is true that we can expect the European commission to try to bring ACTA in through the back door, so we should keep our eyes open.
multitouch and more precise screen, perhaps capacitive
The N900 has a much preciser screen than any capacitive I've yet to try. Though I admit, I have never used a capacitive screen with a stylus. To me, the N900 resistive screen is way better, precisely because it can correctly interpreting me pointing with a nail, which is orders of magnitude more precise than if I would have to use my fingertip.
The other things I can agree on, most of them natural since the N900 is already many years old.
If you have a street full of limonade sellers who sell it at 99 cents per cup, and you have a limited amount that you can sell at 50 cents, you won't do so. There's not enough of your product to have an effect on the market price. So your price will converge towards the common price.
This is only true if the market absorbes all the lemonade you are collectively able to produce. If not, then you lower your prices in order to attract the customers (and thus not have to take your unsold lemonade back home when the day is over), which creates competition on price.
Of course, the oil market absorbs all it is given, so in this context, you are right.
Absolutely. I'm a finn and I intend to submit my idea for an intellectual property tax (that I linked to in another story a few weeks ago) once this project is online
Thank you! This is almost exactly my idea, with only some small variations in how to ensure companies report an honest value for their IP. Nice to know someone else has been into the same lines of thought. And someone from Berkeley, no less!
Now on to getting the idea into law. Should be a small matter...
It most definitely is sarcastic, but is still a problem because some people, most notably the **AA executives, will not understand it and think it's a good idea.
I've written a proposal for a copyright tax which I think would alleviate lots of the problems that are caused by the copyright laws of today, without requiring hard-to-get changes to copyright law itself. Please leave a comment:
No, you just misread what I say. You can teach your children anything you want at home, for example after they come home from school. That is in no way forbidden. What is forbidden is you keeping them from going to school in the first place.
Like the other poster said; It's not forbidden to educate your child at home, but it is forbidden to deprive them of the education provided by the state. And I for one am all on the side of the state in this. Too many children would have to suffer because they happened to be born to nutty parents otherwise.
Actually you would probably find a higher incidence of Windows in Indonesia compared to America/Europe. People in developing countries use products that are good, not on the basis of open-source vs. monopoly arguments.
That there is the problem. A lot of what's turned out to be incredibly influential work wasn't liked at that time, much of it was outright banned for being offensive to portions of the population.
And the authors of those books hardly wrote them expecting any kind of economic payback.
Or maybe the site is in english and otherwise americans are more concerned about it, so they leak more. Or maybe the Afghan War Diary has been a top news all over the world and so drawn a lot of attention? Or maybe everyone is just picking on the good old chaps in the US of A. I don't know.

And to discourage anyone else thinging of starting a leak site.

You are right. You have to wait 10 turns before you can declare war again after making peace.

Name a better way. I'm all ears.
Usually I'm not a fan of taxation, but in this particular case I think some government regulation is just what the doctor prescribed.

That must be why nobody cares to steal them... Oh, wait!

Sinonauts? (What DOES China call their space explorers? Sinonaut sounds like a nasal problem!)
They're called Taikonauts, at least in the english language newspapers in China.

while it is often faster to nuke it isn't the only way to get the job done
But it's the only way to be sure.
I would have a pretty doppler signature.
Nothing personal, but I really doubt that.
It even got an episode on House "The Jerk".
That was shrooms.

Then why would they use Windows?

Because we all know both birds and dinosaurs "give birth". Right?
