Your argument doesn't make any sense. You are basically suggesting that Microsoft should be forced to use Fraunhofer's codec and if they don't they are using monopolistic powers. It's their OS, they have no obligation to include ANY mp3 ripping software. In fact by ripping at 56kbps they are actually encouraging competition... if the OS allowed you to rip at 192kbps built-in they would put companies that make mp3 encoding software in serious trouble, it would be Netscape all over again.
Is it possible to make the program as safe in Real Life as the alogrithm is mathematically?"
Hrmm, let's see, the algoritihim was designed by an extremely intelligent person and verified by other extremely intelligent persons whereas the average enduser is a total moron... so the answer to your question is obviously yes.
Yeah, what would we do without all those wonderful hamburger recipes on the web? I'd be lost without the instructions, hamburgers being a complex food to make and all...
As I recall they actually create incredible amounts of methane pollution but unless a few billion people give up eating meat there's not really much we can do about it...

The problem was that Florida has an incredibly outdated system. Here in Arizona we have an optical system which is extremely accurate and there is no dispute as to the intent of the voter. If the entire country were to use this system (as I'm sure some other states already do), there would be no problem.
The irony behind this whole situation is that the regions are supposed to stop DVD piracy but what sort of pirate is not going to know how to modify their player to play all regions? Meanwhile people who actually buy DVDs and DVD players get screwed with higher prices and an unnecessary annoyance.
I'm glad the government of a large country is starting to at least think about standing up to these media companies. We all know the US Congress is owned and paid for by these companies so don't expect any help from over here...
No, you have no chance. That's my girlfriend and the only reason she seems interested is because I have her get losers to give her gifts and then I sell them and make a tidy profit.

Replace all instances of ripping with encoding :P

Funny you mention that, I had to do the opposite... I could never work the mouse with my left hand so I had to train the left to do the actual work.
So he created the world wide web, big deal... I wrote a currency conversion program in BASIC one time.
Actually I wrote VisiCalc, maybe you've heard of it?
I think we all know HCL will do a lot more good with this technology than that stupid kid would...
gopher? such a thing has never existed, i think you mean the world wide web, or internet, as i call it.
Who watches the watchers, my friend? Consider that for a moment and then tell me I'm paranoid!
Do you sugest I should use telnet and plain X11 instead?!?
No, but I have heard of a new technology called XOR, I suggest you try it.

With all the backdoors in PGP put in by Micro$oft and the NSA what's the point anyways?

No, actually I posted cause I'm an idiot.
Yoda is from Babylon 5 not Star Trek. I wish people would do more research before posting things like this.

He was obviously talking about building a tunnel of air from their home planet to Earth and then communicating using sound waves.
""...connected to the Net use 1,000 watts of power, which is as much electricity used by 10 100-watt light bulbs.""
Glad they did the math for me cause God knows I could never have figured that out for myself...

I love receiving AOL CDs because I know the money they wasted could have been used for more TV ads which I find more annoying...
