They bneed [sic] to look no further than Students being FORCED to buy all their books on DVD at NYU to see the obvious far [sic] use implications.
I'm an NYU student, and I wasn't forced to buy and books on DVD. Hell, I wasn't forced to buy any books at all. I remember in one class lending my book to other people because they weren't forced to buy it either, and they obviously didn't. Feel free to elaborate.
If you're a programmer, you should care. One of the biggest thingees about this case is whether or not source code counts as free speech, and the courts have basically ruled against us. In the words of that comic strip kids, "Why is it legal for us to publish plans for an atomic bomb but illegal to publish plans to decrypt dvds?"
Yes, but you weren't using anyone else's valuable resources, and if God forbid everything went to hell, millions of dollars wouldn't have been spent trying to rescue you from the dept. store where you purchased your socks.
You can't possibly expect people to not get addicted to moderating now that it's gone haywire and no one seems interested in fixing it... Moderate away, whee! And everyone moderating means less people contributing, even better...
Interesting, another guy was moderated high for saying "game color commentary *shudder*, yet you seem in favor of pro commentators. Any reason in particular?
It's an engineering nightmare! My guess is, it was proposed by an engineer who was bored with 'easy' projects. Another guess is, whoever wins (won?) the contract will bring in the absolute best. But will it work?
Do you think China has the technical know-how to pull it off? Do you think we (U.S.A.) have *any* of the necessary components to pull it off? When was our last great engineering marvel? ISS doesn't count, it's an international effort.

How is Jabber making money? Other than hoping people will invest in them, what do they have to sell that people *want* to buy?
What I'm trying to say is, why will Jabber.com not become a fucked company?
