Also, P2P sharing loses no money since no money has changed hands, whereas someone definitely paid for the proprietary app and that money rightly belongs to the GPL programmer(s) that made the actual product.
So exactly like how Rapidshare gets tons of people to buy premium accounts that is probably majority used by people downloading copyright-infringing content? Thus they are making money that should rightfully be going to the copyright owners. Otherwise, if you are going to disrespect their copyrights, why should anyone respect the copyrights to GPL code?
Yes, I was wrong about the summary, but the article made no mention of it at all. The article was talking about all hypersonic vehicles in general. The summary writer added that in superflously.
Those torrents are for versions broadcasted on TV. These Blu-Rays will feature all sorts of new tweaks and bullshit that will make even the nerd raging fans, despite proclaiming how they now hate Lucas and how he's ruined the series, lap it up and give Lucas billions more.
The Ghostbusters Blu-Ray had a BD-Live feature were you could chat with others online while watching the movie. Not sure why anyone would actually want to do that, though.
Congratulations, you just proved the point. Intel DID face monopoly investigations for x86 instruction sets. That's why AMD exists, because Intel was forced to license the i386 instruction set.
Wrong, that had nothing to do with a monopoly investigation or anything to do with such. It had to do with the fact that Intel broke an agreement made with AMD to provide them the technical details of their CPUs because IBM required all chips put into their PCs to be made by two sources. In the end, Intel wasn't forced to license anything and in fact due to the legal uncertainty over implementing the Intel microcodes, AMD was forced to do a clean-room implementation.
And how exactly can it be "sneaky" when Intel makes all this information about this technology public. They even have a webpage all about it. This is about as far from "sneaky" as one can be.
it would mean that only those who use Intel's very latest Sandy Bridge CPUs would be able to stream movies. Not only would those using older Intel chips that don't support the technology be cut off from the service, but those on systems featuring CPUs from rival manufacturers such as AMD and low-power specialist VIA would also be excluded."
Duh? Of course if you are using a CPU that doesn't implement the technology that the service is based on you wouldn't be able to use it. This is like saying that "Intel Faces Monopoly Investigation" because x86 code only runs on... x86 processors.
The same thing that makes it "immoral" to use GPL code in a for-profit proprietary application. Or at least that's what is being pushed by the open source people.
Once these come out, Lusas will make another billion and then start talking about going back and doing 3D versions.
That's because the only money pit more bottomless than the Fed is Star Wars fans. Lucas knows he can dredge that well of money for billions entirely at his whim.
There to date has been no game or MMO that has gone the route of Fully voiced.
OH EMM GEEEEEEEEE! If there was anything that people were complaining about a feature lacking from all MMOs was that it FULLY VOICED!!! zOMG TEH WOW KILLING SECRET FORMULA HAS FINALLY BEEN FOUND!!!

And this article wasn't talking about the space shuttle. In fact the word "shuttle" doesn't exist in either the summary or the article.
You assume that the demographics of MySpace and Facebook are exactly the same. This is not the case.

Because Lenovo doesn't have the marketshare sway that IBM did to make such demands?

Why? Because the blogger says so?

Isn't a bit early to already dupe this story? You're supposed to wait at least a week or two before duping something, Taco.
Since when has any kid gotten 30 vaccines in a single day? MMR consists of 2 doses spaced out by like 3-4 years.
Slashdot has actual editors? Since when? (And no the people purporting to be "editors" is not the same thing).

There have been more than a dozen major power outages in the US since the 1960s. That's far from having even a single 9.

So basically from the beginning? Or did you forget that SOE was part of the development process from the start?
Increased sales of a console are meaningless to these companies without an accompanying high attachment rate on buying games.
