If it works, and works well enough, that will make up for the tangled web of code, so long as it is not too horribly mangled. Sometimes the perfectly designed and combed over implementation loses to the patched together monstrosity because the first one is never released, or is released late, and the second one is out early enough. Sometimes economics trumps an implementation whose code could be read as poetry.
They said the same thing when the first steam engine powered the first factory. Human greed will never go away, and that is the engine of capitalism, not money, not labor. We will find other unmet wants to work on.
And the truck drivers to get those parts, the ship captains and crew to get them across the ocean, the people to train the technicians, salesmen, and maybe even more people to harvest the raw materials required for the robots. This is ignoring the potential for more farms or for those who were farmers to create their own other line of work.
On the other hand, the DMCA basically assumes guilt and demands that a DMCA takedown notice be obeyed without consideration. Plus, it makes it easier to lose a copyright case.
What he was, however, was a fighter against mercantilism and a supporter of free trade. There is plenty in our current governments he would dislike (especially the more militarized ones; IIRC he said something to the effect of "farmers benefit a country more than soldiers"), and probably plenty he would like.
I doubt it; such a level of planning and forethought is likely beyond their grasp. This is a group of people who think suing potential customers is a good thing.
He only dropped it because of this judge. With any other, he would have plodded along just as he before. He is doing the right thing in spite of himself.
Not that this is at a federal level; individual states have enacted their own copyright extensions in some cases. Adding that in makes it more of a legal minefield.
Your rights end when you do, or at least that's what reasonable people would conclude (if they include IP rights as rights at all; there is some debate there). Modern copyright is life + 99 years, making it so that it could end up taking near 2 centuries for works to leave copyright in some cases.
It doesn't seem to like the 6to4 address that my router advertises, and it refuses to use it for some reason. All other hosts on my network that are ipv6 capable work just fine.
It's not just providers. There're enterprises who have some quite expensive routers that don't do v6. Not all home gear does v6; my iPhone 3G doesn't, and I'm pretty sure some of the consoles I have don't do it either. My printer doesn't. There are solutions to this, but that's still more work.
There is no logic, not really, other than screaming "Theft!" to gullible and technologically illiterate judges and juries. They also cannot differentiate between theft and copyright violation.
Allow me to be the first: Copyright violation and theft are two totally different acts. Copyright violation is not theft; the party that has supposedly been stolen from, at the end of the day, still has all of their physical property, and not only that, but this property is in the same exact condition as before the act. You can't even claim lost sales; if I torrent something, there is no guarantee I would pay for it, even if it were merely a penny.
I would never pay to watch a TV show that has been broadcast to me for free, and I would consider downloading a copy to be in the same league of evil as if I had just DVR'd the show in the first place (or put it on tape, for older shows).
Most businesses may be small, but what is their slice of the economic pie? I don't know, but just because there are more of them it doesn't necessarily mean they are as lucrative a market.
My own system runs in about 600 MB on boot, but I also have stuff running in the background, such as for sharing files, music, etc. (I need several things running in the background to share music to the 360 and other devices)
There's also the sales of the first Android devices; the T-mobile G1 sold 1.5 million devices it sold before even being released. The same article mentions the iPhone 3G selling 1 million devices in 3 days. Both of these phones are comparable to WP7; it's not like they are leagues apart. They are roughly comparable.
You think those amendments really count anymore? I got stopped by a drunk driving checkpoint without any probable cause beyond "he was in a vehicle." Eminent domain lets them take whatever they want, especially in light of the latest ruling on it, for any purpose. Just compensation is whatever the government says it is.
As a daily KDE user, the only crashes I experience are from Amarok, and then because I am using the VLC Phonon backend (which isn't fully stable, but is getting there). It makes Amarok crash on exit and somewhat rarely when changing songs.

Why invent all these special-case laws? Jjust charge them with negligence or something. Maybe invent a distracted driving law?

The Marshall Islands, IIRC, have no copyright laws. Perhaps they could set up shop there.

But, but, my great-grandchildren will be stolen from if copyright is less than life + 99 years!

There's ipv6.facebook.com, and that's a pretty major site.

Have you not yet upgraded to classless routing protocols? Now just might be the time to do so

Because someone, somewhere, finds them useful? People like all kinds of crazy things, or even different things.
Depending on the setup, you can get GNOME and KDE in under 500 MB of RAM, so they're not too bloated.
