Please forgive my naivety and ignorance. From this point on, and for all points before, assume that any reference I make to "Linux" is in fact an all-encompassing reference to Linux, Unix, *BSD, or any other opensource / "Free" operating system.
I frankly don't give a fuck which one they support, as long as they support one more OS other than Windows. Invest in training "Linux" techs, "Linux" adult education courses, "Linux" uptake in primary and secondary education.
I'm so very glad that your pedantry didn't get in the way of the point I was trying to prove.
You can't lend a DVD to your neighbour. That's "lending" which you'll see is forbidden in the same phrase as "copying, leasing, public performance, distribution..." etc when you start up your DVD.
You know, the bit VNC Media Player allows you to skip totally,
You're comparing the physical world with the non-physical, and you're doing it completely wrong.
To follow your analogy, a more accurate comparison would be if you:
Duplicated every music CD you own,
Put your copied CD collection in your garage
Opened your garage door,
Put a sign at the end of your driveway saying "All CDs in my garage are free!"
Had a MediaSentry employee come to your garage sale and take some of your CDs,
Then had a court summons for selling copyrighted media against license terms.
Your house may not be "public" but in the eyes of the law, the CDs in the open garage (songs in the shared folder) and the sign at the end of the drive saying the CDs are for others to take (invitation to download files by being on the Gnutella Network) make the CDs in your garage (songs in shared folder) "in the public."
Browsing at +2 helps me filter out all of the racist / pornographic trolling which sets off the word filter where I work.
I'd love to help by meta-moderating, but I can't afford the risk. Until/. gets a better filter for spam comments, I'm staying well into the high mod bracket.
How about Europe just prevent sale within the EU until it complies with the EU directive? How about instead of paying Microsoft Tax, EU subsidises educational and support forums for common Linux distributions? Spends the money MS gave them giving similar incentives as Intel was accused of to PC manufacturers to include and support Linux by default?
Globalisation is all about the customer, and their position with regard to the market.
For an example, take a capital letter L, invert it, and place it next to a lower-case o. The customers is the L. For added realism, put a capital F behind the inverted L and keep adding and deleting a single space between them.
I had the RC the day after release:) I'm very happy with the product, but not £189.99 happy. Especially not if the very same product is £60 - £70 cheaper in the US.
Or are MS suggesting that it costs that much to spell words like "colour" and "flavour" correctly and swap the primary definition for "Hood" and "Bonnet" around?;-)
Then I'm glad I'm not a US citizen for my (future) childrens' sake, and for the sake of any person who was not a medical professional who thought they could strip my child.

No, they need reporting to the police, arresting, tried for child abuse, put in prison for a minimum of 5 years (serving), and then on the sex offenders register for the rest of their lives.

That kid looks like William Murderface's son.

Yeah, it could be called "Doom Movie."

You can if 10,000 other people who think just like you only need to be told where and when to be to stop them.
Either the tanks stop, or the next place the people meet is outside Mahmoud Ahmadinejads' house with brick and chain.

I'm just a country lawyer that wound up in a big city.
Keanu?
Do they have much "teal" on the moon?
Your ideas may or may not intrigue me, I would like to maybe subscribe to your newsletter.

Flamebait? Mods must have used up all their "senseofhumour" quote over the weekend.
I'm not leaving Slashdot, I'm not boycotting US products in general, and taking it as a person insult if I did is just stoopid.

You think the US can hold MS afloat by itself?

I won't buy it, then.
Really, fuck US products. I don't need your music, software, cars, or internet.
In fact, that includes Slas[NO CARRIER]
Ever heard of the phrase "If you want a puppy, ask for a horse?"
You've created the puppy.
Why would you do that? Just sell your page to an advertising farm for a few thousand dollars.
Best way to fix the system is to profit from it at the expense of those who screwed it up in the first place. They don't like that at all.

So make sure you're good with a bayonet yourself.
Best outcome; You best their leader and earn their respect.
Worst outcome; You lose and die much more quickly.
Either way, less suffering for you. If you think like a Westerner, you'll fall hard living somewhere so unstable.
A tip on being a pedant... Oh, you've already got that sorted.
Seen it. Not that good. Thankfully it was on Two for One day.
The names of the teachers at the school I work at are published on the website.
Is there a question of whether the parents will allow this case to stand? Something tells me there will be massive protests over this.
No, they need reporting to the police, arresting, tried for child abuse, put in prison for a minimum of 5 years (serving), and then on the sex offenders register for the rest of their lives.
