Heck, make equal numbers of combat and non-combat UAVs (which will hopefully be even cheaper) to make the enemy air force waste money chasing something useless for all but reconnaissance.
But that would mean virtually all funding going to the popular organizations in government.
My brother used to think that 25%-50% of the government's overall budget went to NASA. He certainly wouldn't give them any more money.
Or you can copy it from your/tmp/ folder. Or your ~/.mozilla/firefox/randomgibberishhere.default/Cache/ folder.
Although your link notes that his method yeilds a higher-quality video than coping from cache.
With grammar like that, he could easily be mistaken for an adult. Someone quadruple his age would type something that gives English teachers heart attacks.
but the migration fails, we'll be out a lot of time and money and I'll be out on the street").
How so? Worst case scenario I can imagine is a small school has to buy a second ex-gaming rig, doubling their server capacity when they don't need it. A handful of computers can be converted in the library. If they work, the rest are converted in a few weeks. If they don't work, the admins can just reimage them. Same policy for the office and computer-lab-classrooms, but have a smaller control group (1-3) and a slower migration rate. If at any time the administration decides to call it off, pull out the disc images.
Where is the extra expense here? The only other thing I can think of is some productivity loss because the IT guy is a little more busy and is slower to respond to regular IT requests.
The idea is to discourage such exchanges in the first place. At the very least, since it is DRM-free you can strip out the personal data re-encoding it to another format.
If it was your own music, you obviously have (or had) a non-watermarked (for lack of a better term at the moment) version of the file. If it has permissive copying, surely you can find it somewhere other than iTunes?

Does Weimar have oil?
the network still hasn't obtained an ip-address
Well, with NetworkManager on a wifi connection, you don't obtain an IP address until after login anyways.
If it boots in less that 1/3 to 1/6 as much time as ext3... Surely there will be an improvement in overall performance?
Not enough time to backup my /home and install before class starts...
900 billion pennies.

I think he is saying it might cost $500K to port 1.0 to the current platform of choice.

What I'd really like to see is a common password storage.
It's called a .txt file. In the ~/.secretstuff/ directory.
"Hi, I am Conan. I am 4."

I offer proof of his emotional scarring:
He is on Slashdot.
Maybe they restored from backup.
Or maybe they need a competent administrator. I'm sure you know just the person for the job, right?
What are you talking about? My camera is on top of my desk.
nothing is impossible with linux
Of course not. Just this morning I got my computer to calculate the last digit of pi.

I second that recommendation.
And then what do the kids use at home?
OpenOffice, Firefox, Armagetron Advanced, Battle for Wesnoth, BZFlag, KDE 4...
Since this watermark must be fairly easy to modify, I can't really see how useful it would be in tracking piracy.
It'll slow it down for a while. Much easier to insert a user's name in the data than to write a program removing it.

Agreed. This is a fairly reasonable compromise on Apple's part.
No dpkg?
Textbook publishers aren't supporting Linux (yet)
Everybody knows that textbooks run on DeadTree OS.
MS is the original 'give it away for free or close to free' people.
Actually, I am pretty sure that was Gilette. He gave away razor handles but people would need to buy replacement blades.
