The penialty would only apply to ditital books that have some copy protection scheme, such as a password login to open the book.
Still, it's a buttload of crap.
But professor, this book contains material that supports my arguements. However, you'll need to pay $399.95 inorder to read it.
I could let you read it, but then I'd have to have you arrested.
What I find interesting is that this bug doesn't appear in the http header support for cookies. This means the http header group and the JavaScript group used different approaches and code to the same problem.
Why is that interesting? Because, MS is arguing that consumers need MS to remain one company so the OS side and software side can work close together and provide us with more powerful software, and breaking them up would stiffle "innovations" in future products - resulting in less powerful and less user-friendly tools for consumers.
MS expects people to believe that, when they can't even effectively share algorithms, programming procedures, and code within the same software product?
I'm going to start a company called RadioPD and track down every person who tapes songs off the radio. Then I'll start up CDPD and bust anyone buring CDs. That way the RIAA will pay me millions for being anal-retentive.

How about if i came to your place of employment and copied every bit of work you did. For doing such, i was paid a salary similiar to yours. I "latch" on to you, one can not be fired without the other. But after a while, the boss stops seeing the purpose of paying so much for the little work that we do. He then fires you (us).
Is that really the same as what I described? I described making a copy of something. Your describing taking a copy of something and passing it off as your own work or creation. Did I rename 1999 Mustang Cobra SVT to the Lord Skippy GT and try to sale it as my own work? No. I just made a copy and used it. Did Ford lose any money? That depends on whether or not I sell the car I copied.
"But what about the loss of the sale for the car you copied?" Well, if I'm the type of person who copies something without giving the creater his/her dues, then I wouldn't have paid for any car if I could copy one. And thus, there wouldn't have been a sale either.
Also, speaking as someone who has managed people in the past, it isn't difficult to figure out who knows what they're doing and who doesn't. If the boss fired me over you, in your scenario, then that was a boss that couldn't tell the real value of an employee - and I would prefer to work elsewhere.
Also, under the situation you described, I fail to see where you could not be fired without my firing and I would have to be fired if you were. Your employement would depend on my employement. I however, would have no such dependencies on your employement, since I can do my own work. Just because a leech is an animal, doesn't mean an animal is a leech.
BTW, my CD collection is much larger than the average persons. Plus, my rate of CD purchases has increased since using first using IRC to find MP3s. All of the CDs I've purchased in the last year were due to downloaded MP3 files. Under your definitions, that would be like a thief stealing a spoon and then returning an entire silverware set.
Do you think someone who tapes a song off the radio is stealing? What about if you turn down the volume on the radio when a commerical is playing? Do you ever fast foward through commericals on shows you've taped? Or switched channels during commericals? Wouldn't that be stealing as well?
I mean, is stealing cars going to make Ford lower their prices?
Let's say I have a magic wand. I take this magic wand of mine and point it a 1999 Mustang Cobra SVT. Then I point it at an empty space. Suddenly, an exact copy of the 1999 Mustang Cobra SVT appears - leaving the orginal in place.
Now, did I really just steal a Ford? The owner of the car didn't lose anything. A 1999 Mustang Cobra SVT didn't disappear out of Ford's inventory.
When Captian Picard orders his replacator to make him a tea, earl gray, hot, is he violating Lipton's (or some other tea maker's) copyright? Should the Tea Manufactor's Association sue Picard? Or demand that all tea be removed from all of Starfleet's replacators? Or demand Starfleet ban Picard from replactor use?

I think Jenny's idea of a prison life sim is actually pretty cool! Just imagine controlling your bitches in a riot, fights in the yard, avoiding gang rapes in the shower, stockpiling cigs to use for barter, breaking in new prisoners, and trying to escape. Become the big dog in the yard!
Is this something to do with male competitiveness? Wanting the best and fastest? Is this like having the most powerful and fastest car?
I think the apparent lack of female overclockers has more to do with the relative low number of women "geeks." After all, there are all X-Chromosome gear/motor-heads out there. Hopefully, as the number of women that choose computers as a hobby increase, we'll see some Overclocker Chicks. Or would that be "Over-chicks", or how about "Uber-chicks"...
Has anyone at Pinkerton seen Brazil? "Don't suspect a friend, Report them!" Too bad the world doesn't have a reset button. I hope nobody reports me to WAVE for that last comment.
I don't mind the extra coasters. But, I'm sorry, what is so hard about returning a disc or tape to the rental store?? Usually, they're right next to your local grocery store or on your way to/from work. Are people just that lazy? Or do they have defective memory chips?

The real question here is: "Do marketing guys actually think at all?"
I for one, believe that they only mimic and don't actually think on their own.
