My old HP digital camera lasted for three years until I found that the battery life was substandard so we needed a new camera. So, instead of $2, you can put $4 dollars/month and it is still a bargain.
The RIAA sues or threatens to sue ==> the guy fights back (unexpected outcome of events, the incongruity [quality of disagreeing; being unsuitable and inappropriate] of this??)
I was 14 in december 1984, and I got a real job. Something in the area of US$ 6K/year. Bought my first computer that way (a Brasilian version of the TRS-CoCo) and I always had movie money.:-)
This seems mostly uneffective...

GPLv2 Vs. GPLv3

This only means that DRM will need to be implemented in the way that DRM should have been implemented all along (to the extent that DRM should exist, anyway): it will need to make use of PKI to ensure that each consumer has his own key with which to unlock his licensed content. This key, not being part of the source code, means that the implementation can be open while the DRM can be bullet proof right up until the final conversion to analog. -- And just before that you pipe the (digital) inputs of the DACs to your recording machine and Profit!!! Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
You can find a copy of Linux 0.01 on the Net. But it may be harder to find than a copy of Linux 2.6.20.6. I bet some earlier versions of GNU or other free software software _may_ be lost by now. And, anyway, Linux 0.01 would not drive that SATA drive you have. The license for Linux 0.01 is (AFAIK) different than the license for Linux 2.6.20.6. Got it? If you wait, like, five years to exercise your voucher, it may be difficult to find GPLv2d-2007-vintage versions of the software you want to use -- and it may be that only the GPLv3-2012-vintage versions have the support for the hardware/features you want.
A court might very well rule that the expiration date is irrelevant and that MS is bound to the legal conditions at the time the deal was made, not the time that the vouchers were exercised. A court might, but it most certainly should not, because the product being distributed (conveyed) at the time of the exercise of the voucher may not be available from the original authors under the old license, and it may be a very _different_ product from the one with the old license.
Yeah and I doubt the jamming works on all frequencies. If someone was determined enough to do it they'd wait with a sniper rifle on the grassy knoll. Yeah, or... I don't know,... make your bomb activated by the proximity of a cell phone jammer???
Hardly anyone (besides Microsoft and some die-hard idiots) believes in activation numbers or dongles anymore -- many shareware sellers do not care, want, or have the resources to try to go after serial number sites (hasta-la-vista, anyone?) and ALL software shops I have worked do not try anything to impede you from copying the software (but you cannot use it anyway without some six-figures spend on customization and deployment)
This is the only real way to CYA: do what you're told, document it (video/sound recordings should do, depending on your jurisdiction) and call the cops. IANAL and TINLA.
some of us (me, for instance) have, my friend -- some of us even have already procreated and we're passing our twisted ways to the next generations...
This is actually my HOPE for the future

The more Microsoft pushes Treacherous Computing, more quickly everything will be screwed up and more quickly this whole DRM fad will go away. People should understand: (1) Alice cannot send a message to Bob without Eve listening to it if Bob and Eve are the same person and (2) I [and many others] want to be free to tinker with every single appliance I buy with my own personal blood-sweat-and-tears hard earned cash. Obviously, the liability is on me if I screw up something that belongs to other people.
If any client asks for more than its fair share of resources, DENY them to it. Then, and only then, this is a client's bug. If you ask for more and more of my resources and I keep giving them to you until I myself starve, it's MY problem, not yours.
they replaced my twin-set (one 5-years-old Win98 Itautec, one white-tower Edgy) with a brand new Itautec. I had to reinstall everything. I installed Edgy and all the stuff I need in 30 minutes; in a VirtualBox machine, I installed XP, Oracle client, BlackBox (bblean), vim, 7zip, Delphi, Indy, ReportBuilder, QuickReport, and other stuff I need to do my Windows in-house systems maintenance. Took me 4 hours: 35 minutes to install XP and 3:25 to install and tweak the rest (all previously downloaded/imaged).
(put my waging money on it) People who did not see Firefly tend to forget that it already had cult status and recognition... Browncoats bought so many Firefly DVDs that they convinced Fox (or whomever) to produce Serenity in the first place!
that some people need to run the WHOLE shebang and on top of it simulate traffic/load conditions on the db server OR on the app server OR on the client and simluate hundreds/thousands of clients and that this requires immense amounts of RAM but is otherwise feasible to obtain more reliable results using virtualization? And that the same person might want to do it on the road (AKA: using the clients' tools, but away from the clients' control -- so (s)he can tweak the conditions at will) and that if you have 30-50 different enterprisey clients you don't want to have to connect remotely to your datacenter in other state -- you just want to load the whole thing in your laptop and see where is the fscking problem that makes an inventory entry take 5 minutes instead of 20 seconds, so the client will shell out the big bucks that this person deserves? (been there, done that, but in my consultant time I was hitting the road with 3-4 server-class machines in the luggage -- hotels probably hated me when the electrical bill came and yes, I carried some full-sized fire extinguishers with me also)

I am using a cotton t-shirt right now (as I do everyday to work). It's 1/4 of a milimeter thick. 5mm = 20 t-shirts.
No, just Perens. He already has eloquence that surpasses RMS and nobody really likes ego-driven people. ;-) [Respectfully, ok, Mr. Raymond??]

at least 15 thousand software packages do exactly this: provide the source and let others filter out the differences.

No kernel panic, no system hosing here, ok?

Read the GPL. Things are not black and white as you are construing them to be.
If found this to be really good explaining what it does and, in the end of the article, one example of how it does it.
