Not always. They have legal uses. Like <insert car/gun/ect analogy>.
Take for an example, the The Pirate Bay, they have otherwise censored documents about Scientology.
Other positive uses include: Sampling Content that the makers no longer profit from Spreading legal material Getting around technical DRM issues(ahem Spore)
The patent system is broken.
That's understandable.
But really, based on the sheer stupidity of patents pass though, it seems like all the people approving them are either drunk, apathetic or working on revolutionary theories about physics.
No, 20TW of microwave energy does not make people sick, it kills them right on the spot.
The weapon abuse is small, since turning a massive satellite takes time. That and you can always hit the solar panels with a nuke.
With or without excessive copyright, artists will lose.
With copyright, they don't own their work and just feed off the crap their publisher feeds them.
Without it, they can't own their work, and get money primarily though donations and events that don't rely on intellectual property being owned.
WW3 is an external problem.
A misconfigured machine is an internal problem.
The internet can survive cut cables, provided that there are other routes.
But if it can't find said routes, then there is a problem.
The problem, according to the article is writing small files over and over again, like the journal in journaling file systems, so would not using a journaling file system reduce the problem?
Slashdot Mirror
If Alice and Eve are the same person.
Because of the possibility of the score going over 65535.
But that's the good part!
"I would like blues eyes, blond hair and at least 6 feet."
"Okay. Would you like wings with her?"
"Sure"
"That will be 10K. Please drive to the checkout window."
That kind of commodity?
So basically explain the pros and the cons of the choice like:

Then anything that causes increased level of brain activity.
The first thing any good dictator needs to prevent is critical thinking.
Err...
Yeah...
I'm sorry about that whole mess.
Or just patent n!=1-click purchases.
I own the gene that creates that kind of critical thinking.
So delete that comment.
It's my property.

The amount of users?
Or perhaps the amount of "bonuses"/"punishments" that Microsoft gives to companies.
Tin foil hats don't shield from gamma ray bursts.
Their unique properties deflect only mind control rays.
Everyone knows that.
To deflect gamma rays, you really need these magnetic bracelets! Only 19.99! They use the power of magnets to deflect the bad stuff in your body!
Actually, most botnets tend to use existing technology, like how the Storm botnet uses Overnet. This system seems like a wifi mesh network.
make people sick and or kill them

It might not let you...
Also, what is preventing a malicious app from calling it self a "copy-protected" program?
WW3 is an external problem.
A misconfigured machine is an internal problem.

Isn't like they had anything better to do.
Web cams?
But seriously, I'm certain that they just look up the player's real name in some sort of other data base(medical).
All they find is Santa returning from a strip club...
Then use something that evolves faster than them.
Look closer:
