Simple. Give Wikipedia a 200x300 JPEG picture at medium quality, keep the full size RAW for yourself. You can't make a poster from a 200x300 picture unless you really like horrible image artifacts blown up to the size of your hand and pixelated to boot, which means that probably nobody would bother making or buying one anyway. No self-serving person/media outlet will use a 200x300 picture if they want to print anything of substantial size.
It's a lot like people like Fir0002 who license pretty good-sized pictures to WP and keep better-bitrate pictures so that they can sell them. (The guy in question also gets plenty of nice shiny stars for his work.:P)
It seems that the *AAs are trying to catch a butterfly in a coffee mug here. It's impossible, and everyone knows it, but they still prefer to flail around like this than give up and acknowledge that the market has changed.
Lemme try a car analogy. It's the difference between a Ford with a bent bumper, and an Apollo capsule replica "car" (actually, the owner uses it as a trash can) with two and a half wheels. One's broken, the other isn't even that.
Pandora is very heavy on the CPU. I have to run it in a Google Chrome tab (point being, it's faster) just to keep FF responsive enough to post to Slashdot in.
These laws were made back when you needed an entire CD-pressing criminal racket to distribute songs in such numbers. Such law is not necessarily applicable to the current situation, though the RIAA is pursuing wishful thinking as if it wanted to net butterflies using a coffee mug.
It also happens to be just as impossible as catching butterflies using a coffee mug.
And if it *is* a server, what else would you do with it? Small business requires streaming video feed so that manager can check up on store performance, we do that through webcams and VNC and thus need the computer. Yes, there's better solutions but this one's the cheapest.
Since said computer must be always on, we thus set Folding@Home to run on it so we may as well use the spare CPU cycles.
Some gradebook program my school used to use ("used to" is the operative word here) broke backwards *and* forwards compatibility. When incrementing from 3.2 to 3.4.1. Thus, there were two incompatible gradebook programs under the same brand with the same version number.
Thankfully we have since moved to server apps hosted on the school's local appserver (and accessed through a browser, of course).
Well, all of them so far seem to come from Subfamily Pantherinae for some reason... may be time for them to expand outwards and start using Ocelot, Serval, and Lynx? (OK, maybe not Lynx, but Bobcat isn't taken I think...)
But the interface is made of massively bloated Flash. Just firing it up takes ten percent of my (admitedly tiny, 1.66 GHz, stock) processor, and don't tell me about the memory usage...
I use my Twitter account to keep up with other people and those other people use Twitter to keep up with me. Simple really. No, I do not follow celebrities or shills, it's a waste of my time to wade through those loads of sh* to get to said actual friends.
More like the question: Is this the end of Live365? Because I like this one particular community-run station (not naming names here to avoid inviting a lawsuit) that runs on there, and requiring $25,000 will be the death of it unless we can unearth enough money to save it.

Yes, that's 7.5 in miniature. Believe me, you don't want to be in that building during the shaking...
While you were on the Internet, you should have noticed that his name was spelled Gandhi, not Ghandi.

The British police aren't heaven anymore. Seen the news coming from there recently?

You need to do that non-anonymously, btw :P
But remember, some of us browse at -1 so you don't have to.
Be grateful.

TrueSwitch (you might've used it to move email from an old account to a new one) sells your addresses too.
It's that or aces (asexuals). Straight single men do not do well when cooped up for long periods of time.

Yes, but then we'd have more WHOOSH moments, you insensitive clod :P

All I play is flash games, so this doesn't matter to me at all.
On the other hand, they aren't really immersive gaming environments, so YPMV (your preferences may vary).
OK. Let me try again.

Isn't that what FOSS is for?
I can eat fresh bread. I can't eat Exchange gateways. Try another simile.
Until then, put in only one earbud and leave the other open. Low tech solutions FTW.
There's a difference between the circumstances under which it's legal and the circumstances where it's perfectly legal? Come again?
MyCyberTwin, Second Life and their creators will make money now, but everyone else loses.
FTFY.
Seriously, though, MyCyberTwin is a business enterprise. I know, because I cruised past their website a while ago.
