Well, you buy a console with X functionalities, and then Sony decides to remove some of them. If you paid for a console which can install other OS, will they return the money to you?
Figure that they want all consumers to buy the new PS3 and in the next update, they close the functionallity of playing games. Would it be acceptable?
Is it acceptable to have functionlities removed after you paid for them? Come on!
Idiot is thinking that because some people abuse something, you can remove it from legal users.
Moors weren't nigger, as in that time, black tribes of South and Central Africa hadn't merge with them. Many of the moors in this time had red of blonde hair.
Spaniards are a mixture of a lot of races (iberian, celts, berbers, roman, visigoths, arabian, sirian,...), so sure we have "nigger genes". What's the deal. Anyway, mankind was possibly originated, so all of us come from Africa.
False.
p2p of not copyrighted material is legal everywhere, I think.
Also, p2p downloading of copyrighted material is legal not only in Spain, but in many countries, as France. In reality, private copy is extended on developed countries, except for anglosaxon ones.
Well, it isn't exactly as good as it sounds.
First of all, private copy is quite old. I think it comes when all people recorded tapes to his friends. Legislators thought that it would be easier to provide a legal way of doing this, than turn half of the citizens into criminals.
So, copy of copyrighted products is legal in Spain (and many other countries as France) provided two conditions: don't make money with it, and don't publish it. In exchange, a canon was applied: for every tape bought, copyright holders would receive a little compensation.
What judges say with this sentence is first, that p2p is a way of private copy, as it works peer to peer, and second, publishing links to a work, is not publishing the work.
But the panorama isn't good at all in Spain. The author organizations still try to criminalize the copy, and lobby aggressively for it. Government is quite near this position, and last legal reforms hardens things a little. Also, government tried to legalize a way of closing websites without judges intervention (so a sentence like this one cannot prevent the closure). In mass media, this powers spread continually the message that copying and downloading is immoral and illegal (which is not true), comparable to terrorism or person traffic.
US government is also making high pressure to make countries adopt a stronger copyright police. And no one wants to say no to Obama.
Users I know don't open options. Other open it only if they want to change something, but not to see it.
Also, many of them don't understand that you are sending info to Google. They think of it just as a feature embedded in the program.
It doesn't explain why cutscenes, as static as movies, are equally bad dubbed. At least in spanish dubs, I am not usually able to distinguish an English bad dubs.
It's impossible to know if Google misuses or no the info that harvest from his users.
And yes, spyware features can be disabled, but a big majority of users don't know that.
I heart that at an RMS conference years ago. Software patents mean nothing to big companies, who have enough patents to do patent-crossing (I think that was name). Little developers, on the other side, can't take advantage of them, since they have no patents to trade.
Actually, it is a translation of a troll comment that was pasted again and again on different news on the spanish Slashdot mirror "Barrapunto".
People is so bored.
Seriously? Do you think that Balmer has half the charisma as Jobs? Telling apart the Oracle guy, far less known.
A big portion of the Apple success is about image. And the image is a bit linked to Jobs (but not so much, I think).
I'd say Microsoft success happens in spite of their image.

Tell that to European representatives (from Berlusconi to Zapatero), who are desperate not to disturb him.
Ah, now I recall (I didn't see it in the original version).
Still, I don't think "niggers" invaded Sicily, but I am not sure.
That's awful! Actors should be able to see the cutscene, as they see a movie or cartoon when dubbing it.

You can always copy literally and then change Wikipedia.

I think the answer comes with the question.
I heart that at an RMS conference years ago. Software patents mean nothing to big companies, who have enough patents to do patent-crossing (I think that was name). Little developers, on the other side, can't take advantage of them, since they have no patents to trade.
So, it feels more or less like Damocles, right?
Of course. But the great cost of switch must be payed once. In the long term, the savings are huge.
This weapon is intended to annihilate underground bunkers and other hardened sites (read: long-range missile or underground nuke development)
Or civilian refuges, given the case.
