On that somewhat-popular alternate universe called "Star Trek" TNG/DS9/&c, piracy is how everything works. People work and produce goods, and everyone else just takes them for free. They don't even use money anymore. That culture seems to make out okay so perhaps piracy is the answer - the path towards Roddenberry's utopia.
If you ever watched Star Trek, you'd know that they use a currency system for any purchases. Sure, they are called "credits" instead of dollars or guilders, but for the latest holo-novel or fashion clothing, they still use money.
Is this problem with traditional newspaper a US-only phenomenon? I heard yesterday of a recent study of newspapers in Canada which actually showed growth in their industry.
What do others see in their country?
To be honest, I prefer the way Netbeans does code completion over Visual Studio. Yes, sometimes you want it to remember the last variable/function you used starting with that letter, but when you have different variables starting with the same characters and you are going through each of them, it becomes a pain. I never could find a way to change it so that it completes what it can, up until the point that the different variations change spelling, then let me type the first letter of the variation I want, then continue completing the word from there.
Actually, it used to be NewsForge up until a few years ago when it redirected to linux.com. It was one of the sites I'd visit daily for news and useful editorials. I didn't even know they had forums until the end of the 2008 when they stopped posting new articles and instead defaulted to the forum page.

And don't forget your kevlar umbrella, in case it rains.
When I logged in, I was greeted with "Did you know subscribers can see articles in the future?"
"For the Pre-verts out there, here's some Palm Pre dismantling pictures."
Yes, but does it blend?

There may be a new law: DCMA
"Don't Capture Me, Aye!" (especially since he's Canadian...)
I think you mean the DMCE, eh. Unless he's French Canadian, then it's "Oeil, Don't Capture Me!"
