You forget that a $100 hard rive will get Joe all the movies in the last decade and Joe does not have to bother with internet. They have to figure out a new business model.
That does not make sense... even though I often engage in this piracy business. I can dilute the value of an item by flooding the market with counterfeit. Society does not appreciated that even though I did not deprive anybody of any product. Society protects a business in return for the services rendered to society. Piracy undoes one of those things. Is it morally wrong ?... a tricky question. Is it legally wrong ?... not quite as tricky, but still not absolutely clear. In my books, the world is changing and things are being re-evaluated. It takes some a little longer than others to adjust.
I would hope in slashdot, if not everywhere in the world we could address Carl Sagan as if we know him, not as "By a man called Carl Sagan". It makes me special to be able to put a face upon hearing this name.

That is if Google was making money on selling hardware... but they are not...
Some questions:
1. Why not make this box a GoogleTV
2. Why not make this an Nexus Android phone in a Box ?
3. Why not make this a Chrome box ?
The answers to the above three and looking at the trend of the products as a whole that Google is perusing might indicate their motives

If you pretend that only Nexus devices exist, we have close to what we are asking for.
The manufacturers will only make Nexus equivalent devices if it makes economic sence to do so.
No need for contracts/laws to force manufacturers. If the Nexus devices start selling at significant numbers,
the manufactureres will get a lot of pressure.The whole ecosystem will evolve on merit, much like open source.
Pressure on Google, pressure on manufactureres.
The iOS method of organising the ecosystem has other issues. They restrict flexibility to ensure consistancy.
I think we have the better scenario.
Geez is there any reason not to address him that way, his legacy is becoming that of some evil villain that has triggered a doomsday device full of lawers.
It strikes me that the US is becoming less and less relevant... as the Google IO showed, it is the third world countries that is where most of the action is happening.
The most simple way to stomp a considerate fundie is ring species.

Irrefutable evidence in favor of evolution, or at least speciation which is just as good.
If we have an easy way of knowing that a site is censored,. very simply... we can automatically run a proxy request every time you hit a censored site and it can be done transparently such that the user no longer has to worry. I am sure the next version of all the browsers will have that as a feature. They would interprets censorship as damage and route around it.. gee that is a novel idea !!
The last paragraph simply states "similar decisions have been implemented by other member states that protect intellectual rights without restricting user rights "
In any event, it is simply an arms war... any child in primary/high school knows how to get around blocking Facebook and other sites. So effectively the message is
"Good luck with that"
In fact the funniest part of the whole thing is that it appears that the public with their vote is actually pressuring governments to let them pirate, hence the last bit in that sentence. I wonder how the various RIAA will fight that ? Any wins are very short term.
The most bizarre thing that comes from America is clothing, and especially T-Shirts where the logo is oversize to the point that it dominates the whole item. It looks to me like those guys that walk around with billboards on their front and back... why ?
This does not make sense... why didn't you write up the patent and then publicly publish it to all the... "internets" It would have been much cheaper and nobody can patent your idea. If somebody already had the idea before you, getting a patent granted would not protect you.
Some major companies require that presentations are done in plain text. There is no point in fancy fonts and wipes... they in fact negate from the message by adding information to a slide that will distract.
If you invent something, and you keep it a secret and sombody else invents it as well, then you might have a hard time proving that your invemtion is novel.
Once you publish it, the next inventor will have a hard time proving that they did not copy you.
I am all for this secret business. If nobody else comes up with your idea in the two years following your invention, then you have invented somthing novel.
This was a great episode. I highly recommend it, if you can find it see it.
In it a student simply uncovers that fusion is a trivial to access. It is simply asymmetric. Power corrupts, what will happen if more power is easily available. As geeks we see that in the power given to us by computers such that kids can conceivably launch denial of service attacks.
God would be Omniscience, i.e. all knowing in space and time. That would mean he is not playing with Plado seeing what happens when he breathes life. He would know what happens. I am not sure what Gods motives would be.

Where does one go to study Java online with feedback from an instructor.
One course I have found so far is the following:

I can see it now ... from MTV to TTV as in Teen TV. Then people will read that as Titty TV and that is what it will become

... gives a new meaning to the classic accident horror story where people get electrocuted as they come to save an electrocuted person
Gee "upstream"
You buy stuff on ebay to avoid taxes.
... so it seems that taxes has some issues
Google deals in more money so it sounds more in absolute numbers.
Simply put the government has to figure out a way to sells protection (taxes) to a company for its services to a society.
Its like patents, but that is broken

Publishing is fundamental in how patents work.
If you invent something, and you keep it a secret and sombody else invents it as well,
then you might have a hard time proving that your invemtion is novel.
Once you publish it, the next inventor will have a hard time proving that they did not copy you.
I am all for this secret business. If nobody else comes up with your idea in the two years following your invention,
then you have invented somthing novel.
BRILLIANT, we have fixed the patent system.
What if you have a method to make your process superuser no matter what ?

and many of us learn more from these publishers than from a Comp Sci curriculum
All you have to do is ask one question
Do you know what a Laplace transform is. You end up with two groups, both can be crap or brilliant, but on has a wall they will never cross.
Now that's what I would call "HOT" women !!!
