I don't agree. I think it's a very sane decision by the comittee. The water companies want to make people think they have to drink 'the purest water' in big quantities. Which is nonsense: every drink has plenty of water in it and your body is perfectly capable of recognizong the water molecules. It doesn't really matter what you drink. Besides, most of the water you buy in bottles is just tap water but then 1000 times more expensive. There are two bottled water companies in Holland who have admitted that they just put tap water in bottles and people still buy their stuff.
I think it's best to not pay for music and films at all and watch that whole industry go belly-up. They deserve it. The only people who benefit from the MAFIAA are the ones in the top of those organisations.
One SMS equals one second of voice data. Because one SMS is normally as expensive as one minute talking, SMS is 60 times more expensive than talking. I think that is the biggest ripoff in the history of mankind. Even the music inductry has never been able to pull that off.
It's a matter of definition. An idiot is someone who is not entirely correctly wired in the head. Someone who is ignorant doesn't know something. And a fool is someone who willingly and knowingly does stupid things. At least, that is how I see it. So in practice there is not much difference.
They're not medieval idiots, they're ignorant fools who think they know better than the doctor, even when the doctor tells them that antibiotics will not work against viruses.
I think the result of things like this will be that there is another Great Firewall built, and people in the free world shake their heads and say "tut tut tut."
Yes the piece in ITWorld seemed like an introduction instead of a real article. Ridiculous! It was also written by some dyslectic teenager: read the last sentence! I can't take ITWorld seriously after having read that piece of trash.
If this Austrian guy is coming to the US to talk about this, will he not be arrested immediately because of the DMCA? And is the DMCA the reason that hacks like this seem to always come from Europe? Or am I paranoid?
And another thing: English is not my native language and I know a lot of English words I have never heard. Yet I can read them no problem. Another fact in favor of the theory in the article.
That is all true, but how do you get to something as simple as a ruler from there? The problem with the stretched piece of gut or hair is that it bends as soon as you touch it.
It's not that absurd. Here in the Netherlands we had many people abusing 112, as 911 is called here. This can cost lives, so t's now punished severely.

For those of you who, like me, have no idea what MWI means.

Raytheon. Not Raythorn. *smacks head against wall* But the link is correct.
I've never heard of Raythorn BBN Technologies and I bet you haven't either. So here.

Klebsiella pneumoniae. But you're right, /. editors should know how to write a blurp.
They're not medieval idiots, they're ignorant fools who think they know better than the doctor, even when the doctor tells them that antibiotics will not work against viruses.
Of course it does. The fact that these soaps haven't been banned yet shows how serious the EU takes this problem.
So according to your post what he did is illegal in the US.

I thought the tech industry already owned Hollywood. Have you never seen a James Bond movie?

I always suspected that I read like that. I only have to spell words I don't know, or chop them up into syllables.
The USA is more and more a Land of the Free Corporations since 2000 or so :(.
I'd love to come to the US one day, but I think that as long as the TSA exists I will have to go there by boat.
Despite everything, I think the EU is still the best place to live in the world.
The blurp made it seem that the Fire has no positive things, that's all. That's why I asked the question.
The blurp looks like an advertisement for the iPad, or at least a 'do not buy a Kindle Fire' ad. Is this really worthy of /.?
You can not punish individual people differently for the same crime.
That is all true, but how do you get to something as simple as a ruler from there? The problem with the stretched piece of gut or hair is that it bends as soon as you touch it.
