Leaving money on the table or in your Xbox Live account makes most of us a bit uncomfortable
But having to create such an account would not make us feel uncomfortable then? Having to pay up over the internet to play a game would not make us uncomfortable either? So since when does that matter?
Or better: buy something realy user-friendly instead of the pimped version of the 1960's teletype terminal. Integrate a keyboard into a monitor and point on your screen. Mount that screen slightly tilted from horizontal in front of you. This way, you actually look where you work, which gives you a way better position. Looking front, typing down and mousing sideways is just a worsening of the 1960 situation (which was never meant to be used all day long).
I find the fact that VS crashes about 3 times a day for more annoying. And the fact that upgrading VS does not change the crashing behaviour one bit. For other-than-.NET work I use PSPad, and I did not find a good alternative on Linux (other than PSPad on Wine).
Easy. Those security people know that they have to report to upper management, who's nature is to think in money. So the only way to get a serious message passed is to talk money.
I once saw (on TV) a record player that was shaped like a van. You would put the record on a table, and the van would drive over it in circles, playing the record. That was way cool, but I never saw it again...
I wish I could mod you up. Copyright Thief is probably quite an insightful job description. I am already robbed if I record my own music as a musician on my own CD.
In the video, you a see a lady who gestures a lot with her hands while talking. I kind of expected a subtitling of what her hands said while you heard her talking.
Which will cost you money. There you have it. You would have to file these SIRs world-wide (or the patent comes in through the backdoor via treaties with other countries). Just publicizing would not help either, as patent offices do not read all publications. So this is just another way of making the small inventors powerless and handing their imaginary properties to the big IP-warriors.
I agree with the original poster that there should be a real "anti-patent". I mean, you just do the work of the patent office by avoiding their need to look through all publications and have to pay for it? What is this nonsense?
There is a nice story about that in the "Science of Discworld" series. Contrary to what you would expect from the title, these books are about our real science. The Discworld is just used as an outsider standpoint to look at our science.
Off course not. Especially if wind energy is only seen as a green excuse. When wind turbines have to run in sync with the "real" energy on the grid. As long as we do not take "alternative" energy serious, it wont be serious.
Holland has had an entire industrial period based on wind energy. In a time that aerodynamics were far less developed than now. If you see what can be done and has been done in the past, the "wind energy is allowed as long as we can plug in in without any effort" attitude is a real shame.
Alas there is a tendency for real shops to stop supporting anything special. "But it online" is the answer to any question for a retailer nowadays. And if you buy it online, usually you will have to use some sort of electronic payment. In the Netherlands, this was taken up by banks by setting up "iDeal", which was sold to be convenient but was really introduced because the conditions transferred all the responsibilities to the buyer. So there you have it. Shops don't sell it, and on the net you're screwed.
Yes, the copyright act of 1790 was already unthinkable in the Middle Ages, where the works themselves were important, and not the artist. That is why the artists did not even think of signing their work. The "copyright" extortion laws of today are as just unthinkable in 1790.
... , thus reducing the ability of publishers to profit from the books they did not write
There, fixed that for you. Off course, blocking those sites also blocks the authors who want their work copied because they want to reach an audience. But as there is no money involved in that it is not important. Because it isn't culture if it isn't paid for. Did it ever occurred to you that the free authors, the real bringers of culture, could stop as well if they are bluntly censored by the hollywood pulp industry?

I'll just copy some illegal software a million times and I will be known as the worst thief on the planet!

No. It's quite simple: Jews like laws and Belgians like to evade taxes.

Because it is conveniently backed up by Echelon?

I think the original poster was afraid that NZ was copyrighted.
Yup.
Frirefox Green is made from people!
To make sure that these things are not done at all?

I think the article gives a few nice examples of the opposite.

Off course. Never heard of a "Grab the money and run" tactic?
At least you can track your money with Google Earth now!

No, that is for politicians.
