Taking their name and their religion and then doing as you please.
Who gets to decide what Christianity is supposed to be? You?
....
Turn in your atheist card at the door. I don't want people like you to be in any way associated with people like me. I don't think I'm alone in that either.
So you can ask someone to turn in their Atheist card for trying to judge what Christianity is, but you can judge what Atheism is? You sound like one of them.
My parents bought their first apartment for 6000 pounds back in 1966. Today, the same property is worth around 200,000 pounds. Salaries followed a similar path. $6/hour then would be like $20/hour now.
Actually, I think the sad answer really is because you'd only need to replace the one you fire and its hard to find good teachers.
Probably there are also a lot of complaints from students who are actually not good and blame the teacher, so its a question of who judges the situation right?
I'm not surprised you were marked down as Troll. Don't expect to have a meaningful discussion on this on Slashdot, because a lot of the people here have lost their sense of morality on this subject.
The usual rule of thumb is that a film needs to make 2.5-3 times it's budget before it's profitable - that allows for everyone in the chain, cinemas etc to get their cut. As such, Watchman needs to make around $300m before it makes the studio happy.
Huh? That figure never made sense to me. If they need to make 2.5 times what they say is their budget before they say they can make a profit, then doesn't that make their budget $250 million instead of $100 million? Or is this funny accounting?

Its funny because the same feeling people get about using Linux (will it run what I need to), I now get when I boot into Windows. I sit there in front of windows and wonder, what can I do with this? I'm not sure its going to run the applications I need it to. The tables have turned.
Cool. And I'm fine with that. If you know what you are doing and you know the difference between right and wrong and accept responsibility for your actions, then I'm ok with that.
But as you said, its people who don't think its wrong that worries me. This whole piracy thing has gotten to the point where people seem to be having trouble telling the difference between right and wrong. I've had heated discussions with a colleague who thinks the same way as the person I originally replied to in this thread. And every time we had one of those discussions, I could tell that he was convinced that he was right and that he thinks that everything is his just because you can download it freely.
Ok, encouraging is not the right word so let me use one that is stronger and will get the idea into your thick skull. Facilitating. They are facilitating piracy. Do you understand what the means? It means that if their site and all the others like it didn't exist, there would be far less piracy. Sure, there wouldn't be 0 piracy, but there would be a lot less.
Piracy exists because it is easier than buying something and easier than doing the work to make the money to buy something. And since people want the easy way out, when piracy is easier, it happens more often. Before the Internet, you had to know someone who could make you a copy or something. But now you can just sit at home knowing nobody and search for what you want. It seems to have led people to believe that its ok. But it really isn't. Its kinda like how people believe something is true because they see it on TV.
What it comes down to is that there is quite simply a difference in motives. Thepiratebay.org is obviously a site for piracy, I mean, its in their name. Duh! The movtive is obvious when you go there and they have categories for top 100 movies, tv shows, music, etc. However the motive behind BitTorrent itself was more for solving issues of distributing large files on the internet to reduce bandwidth usage. This has been a huge benefit to many other legitimate things like distributing free Linux DVDs.
No the real bummer is that so many people like you think that they are not criminals. Last time I checked, its illegal to take something that is not yours and you didn't pay for. And it has been that way for thousands of years.
And to any response saying "But they are only providing the links". Give me a fucking break. You fully well know what they are trying to accomplish with their site. Don't pretend like its something its not. It is for encouraging piracy plain and simple.
Not sure why I was marked down as Troll. From what I've seen over the past 12 years, this is pretty much what happens. I haven't written software that this has happened to, so I'm not talking about myself. But I've seen it happen to loads of other software.
Don't you know, everything is free noadays. Or it should be. If I can't get services, software and media for free or via illegal methods, then you are dumb. *sarc*
The critics in open source world are the young ones that get a big head one day and call your project stupid because it uses language X instead of their favorite language. Then they fork the code, write their own crappy software, get some distribution to decide to use it and then the original project gets dumped one day.
They didn't rapidly adopt it. Wikipedia's article on CDs is misleading because from what I remember, it didn't really catch on until the end of the 80s or early 90s. Most people where still buying cassette tapes at the end of the 80s. And even at that, cars with CD players in them where not standard until the late 90s or so. Even then, you'd find some new cars with tape decks and no cd player.
There is a whole episode of Everybody Loves Raymond that talks about this. Ray buys a cd player for his father (in the late 90s) because he broke his record player or something and his father doesn't like the way CDs sound. He wants the warm gritty sound with some skips in it.

Customers have done a fine job of criminalizing themselves by thinking that stealing is ok and normal.

200000/6000 != 20/6

For more information, read the last 10 years of Slashdot comments.
You sir, might have just made one the funniest comment ever made on Slashdot.
Why don't you get involved in the project then and tell them that.
...what they did to make it secure.
They changed the EULA to the GPL.

The problem is that they don't care if you warned them. They just want to keep making money.
The only thing that could make this story more entertaining is if that Roland Pepperfuqerqueue guy submitted it.
I'm sure this will create a nice marketing myth for AMD that will sell a bunch of chips.
You mean bootlegging DVDs? Never heard of that before. Especially here. Nope. People here have morals.

But boy is it safe to drive in Denver now. That's the problem with cities getting greedy, they don't see the positive side of their efforts.
