Is all about advertising. The costs are high. It's much cheaper to advertise for one blockbuster than several regular movies.
Therefore the movie industry go for blockbusters.
The problem for the movie industry is that a failed blockbuster are very costly so they try to appeal too as large group of people as possible. This often lead to that the blockbusters loose its edge and often become dull and boring and noone will see it.
The movie industry seam to have forgotten that large profits can often come from a smaller movie that becomes an unexpected hot item.
IBM make more than 1 000 000 000 dollars per year in licencing fees from patents. Its a huge income source for IBM.
IBM has for a long time been known as a big patent bully who forces companies to pay licenses för patents they probably do not need and/or which are invalid.
Well I was always under the impression that its quite possible to get a higher quality work of a book by copying it. Most paperbacks usually have cheap paper and cheap ink.
Not in a photocopier but say by photosetting it and printing it out in high quality paper on a high quality laser printer.
Use it for any article who does not deserve its rating in any way - be it that its just are factual incorrect or just argumentative without any relevant facts whatsoever.
Actually even more than that since Windows XP costs some - while FreeBSD cost nothing.
So correctly priced the FreeBSD computer would cost something like $50 less.
With 100 miljoner sold items per year you get $5 billion per year. Add to it the cost of the other software and the $10 billion figure look like a very good estimate.
I am fairly certain that if the police came to sealand it would be repelled by sealands military force - it may be small but enough. And getting the army to help in a civilian matter is not something that easily can be done.

Sigh!

Word 97 cant load Open Document document.
There's no doubt he committed a ton of crimes, including computer tampering, pornography, identity theft, etc

Of course the courts looks at intent.
You mean that a wannabe murderer who stabs a knife into someone are given the same sentence as a surgeon who does the same ?
One with the intent to kill me and the other with the intent to save my life ?
CSquare and CRectangle should be the same type of object. There is no need to separate them into separate objects.

Yes why not - someone write a Firefox plugin who does this please!
Every time you get one scam message flag it as junk - after a while Thunderbird will learn to recongnize it as such.
I.e. you need to train the spam filter in Thunderbord - after som time it will get better.
Well, unless you have - by mistake - told it to not learn from messages flagged as spam ?
