My brother has a white ex-cop Crown Vic, and it's extremely interesting how much attention such a car draws and how it affects the behavior of other drivers. People spend quite a bit of time sizing you up even as you leave the car, trying to assess whether you might be an undercover cop or something.
If you seek attention, an ex-cop car gets way more of it while costing way less than something like a Corvette.
That conjecture is interesting and simple enough to be understandable without being a math person. I looked at the wiki article for the above mentioned Riemann Hypothesis, and that's a bit too complex for me.
The small size of lossy audio was an important factor when storage capacity was limited. This is no longer an issue, so there's not much reason to bother with lossy music when dealing with the storage capacity of current devices. 100GB of music would be an absolutely massive collection, yet that would only occupy less than 10% of a US$100 1TB drive. The 16GB common is portable devices is enough for more FLAC than you would listen to for even a fairly lengthy journey. It's certainly still of use in streaming media, but the bar for quality isn't usually set very high in that area. Full CD quality FLAC streams should be usable on home broadband within 5 years, I would hope...
The reasons to argue against FLAC just aren't that relevant anymore. Bits are cheap, who cares if you save a few?
China has made huge leaps in the military sector recently by working with Russian design bureaus who desperately need a strong export market to stay afloat. In the past, the USSR sold "monkey model" versions of their tanks and planes for export, but these days, Russian companies like Sukhoi work closely with clients such as China, India, Pakistan, and Venezuela (even Israel is in negotiations) to produce customized versions of their wares tailored to the needs of each client. The export program for the Su-3X series of fighters and strike aircraft, for example, has been a great success with license production happening alongside the original Russian assembly.
There is a huge market of willing buyers for the technology that powered the former Soviet war machine.
Shouldn't this same line of logic apply to corporations and copyrights? Because right now, I would say the system is definitely breaking this "rule against perpetuities"...
Much of the modern legal systems in both Germany and Japan still contains elements that were dictated to them by the Allies after WWII. They did not choose this viewpoint entirely of their own accord, but accepted it as part of the peace agreements.
Any serious student of history sees their can be no moral high ground to look down on other civilizations. Each one has done terrible things in the past. Acceptance and understanding are what will prevent past travesties from being repeated.

fuck you in the neck.
Only works if OP has had his larynx removed.
Actually,the threat level has never been lowered to Low (Green) or Guarded (Blue).
It's little more than fear mongering.
it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
Indeed, Sony must think the same way.
Of course, corporations can do this, but you're evil if you do it, citizen.
Most Americans have never heard of Ron Paul, let alone anyone who isn't from the USA.
Assuming your local police use Crown Vics.

I noticed that too... LOL.

What makes you think the Linux method takes more cycles? Unlike Windows or OS X, you can see your GUI up to be as heavy or as light as you wish.
Even with subsidies, Isn't there a more cost effective Cell solution?
No... IBM Cell blades are basically the only other choice, and they are a wee bit expensive.
Available on Enterprise and Ultimate versions only, I believe.
Actually, they DO know the difference between the two semantically... they just can't be bothered to proofread carefully.
Admit it... even when mistyped, you still understand the actual content of what is being said. That's what is important.

/. denizens are more likely to have FPS training than actual firearms training, and in FPS, it's all about the headshot... :)
Sissy stuff... how about this?
If it's good enough for Agent Smith, it's good enough for me!

Don't feed the trolls, dude.
Your point still stands... obviously they have chosen to wait this long to act in order to get a bigger settlement out of Microsoft.
I understood the joke without knowing Italian, you insensitive clod!
So you like your computers old, but your women young, eh? :)
BeOS did this with file "attributes", which were designed to be usable by the entire system and all applications.
I mean, the forefathers put copyright into the Constitution for a reason.
Times have changed a bit since then... how much did the founders know about digital technology?
It should be more like "OMG, plz seed!!!11one"
The ending of that episode with Fry's dog in front of the pizza place was actually a tearjerker... dog ages, lays down, closes eyes, The End. How sad!
...and with the way inflation works, your 4.3 billion dollars will buy you half a slice of bread once you've been thawed.
