So basically you want to be allowed to steal the book. I think that's being an asshole to other people who also want to rent it, not something logical that should be allowed. You don't deserve that control at all.
Yes, I do. We all do.
What about books written over 100 years ago, they are out of copyright now, right?
Why do we have to wait 100 years for it to happen? So the publisher's great-grand-children don't have to work for living?
What about kids from poor families? You are denying their right for intellectual development because they cannot afford to pay for electronic copy, that costs you nothing to create? What about middle-class kids? As far as I am concerned, they should be PAID to read books, not the other way around.
some of the largest Android game developers have boycott the Android Market.
Your linked article basically states that they tried to exercise their option of not using the android market and failed miserably. This is hardly the evidence against Android, as you are trying to present it.
Since this is a very obvious case of political persecution, I would say that the "victims" represent those covering up acts of war crimes. So, you are wrong here.
I think Intel is at war with Nvidia, with Intel invading graphics market, while Nvidia eyeballing CPU market. They even threw some lawsuits at each other recently.
Remember to skip the water-wasting lawn. White pebbles are the way to go if you want to save the Earth. I was born with almost no sense of style whatsoever, and even I hate looking at pebble lawns, although I do respect the choice........ We used artificial grass in the side and back of the house, which is great for playing, while leaving a small patch of natural grass in the front for appearance.
That sounds like the opposite of "green", by definition.
In July, according to BBC News, British farmer David Lucas will be forced by European Commission rules to give up his lucrative sideline of building gallows for Zimbabwe and other governments that still employ hangings. Lucas's single gallows sells for the equivalent of $22,000, and the Multi-Hanging Execution System, mounted on a trailer, goes for about $185,000.
I used to like Stallman and the FSF when I thought they're basically Linux advocacy.
Linux was created with GNU tools, licensed under FSF, and generally got to what it is today because FSF philosophy works, which was not obvious say, 20 years ago. They are not just an "advocacy", Linux is more like the product of their creation.
Corel World Perfect: at some point the best editor for Linux, but once the company decided to kill the project, it went completely dead. Had it been open-sourced, nothing of the kind would happen. Victims: those who created 1000' of documents, counting on it to be around. Those open-source zealots have a point, you know.
FCC analysis shows that the median actual speed consumers experienced in the first half of 2009 was roughly 3 Mbps, while the average (mean) actual speed was approximately 4 Mbps
FCC has not been mandated with controlling the internet yet, they have no business measuring the speeds. They want to show that there is a problem to get this piece of pie: something important to regulate.
In Nigeria a bus driver with full load of mental patients stopped by a bar to get a drink. When he returned to the bus, all the patients were gone.
So he stopped by a regular bus stop and loaded it up with passengers. When delivering new "patients" to the hospital he warned that they will be agitated. It took three days to uncover the plot.

me thinks this is no longer relevant, unfortunately.
Usually cars are sold when they start to break down frequently or have a problem. I don't want to drive 70-80 mph on something less than reliable. These things are scary when out of control. Also it not starting in the morning when need to drive to work is unnerving.
What Schmidt actually meant was "True transparency and anonymity on the Internet will become a thing of the past because we here at Google can make a bundle by eliminating it. Advertisers, governments, you want it, we got it!"
... because your government, both elected by you and employed by you, can (and already does) require us to do it in order to grab more power for itself. And now that you have been made aware of what is going on, you have only yourself to blame if/when your internets is nationalized.
idea that there's the existiance of extraterrestrial life
We still don't know that, so the idea could be premature. UFO's are merely unidentified, they could come, say, from a parallel universe. Big Foot does not seem to be equipped for interstellar travel either.
- A book Copyright exists, because the book is OPEN, anyone can copy it after the copyright expires.
- An invention Patent exists to keep the invention OPEN, yet compensate the inventor.
- A software patent is a bogus idea that achieves NOTHING, except for generating bogus lawsuits, because most software is CLOSED, there is nothing patentable there.
- Source Code should be patentable/copy protectable, not the software. This way the intellectual capital is preserved after the company is dead, and can be easily ported when the hardware becomes obsolete. Patent (copyright) will ensure that software creators get compensated, in exchange for public access to their work, and permission to copy once the copyright is up.
Wouldn't Linux et all going mainstream and replacing Windows/OSX mean that the botnets (and their owners) and scriptkiddies would then change their tactics
Yes, they would, but with two orders of magnitude less success. You see, windows is a crapware operating system built on the cheap, somewhat based on with DOS. Redmond's strong point is marketing, not quality. With closed source code you are guaranteed that security holes will be found perpetually, because not as many people can review the code.
On the other hand, Linux is based on UNIX, where even file system had built-in security system, while DOS was happily crashing the whole OS when your current app went down.
you could continue to use Linux without fear
A little beside the point, but being a nerd, i will move on to the next fledging technology when Linux (or another GNU OS) becomes dominant, and I don't doubt that it will happen.
Without Wikipedia, how will we know that FBI seal looks like? If all references to the seal are removed everywhere, an evil super villain can forge ANY seal to pass off as an FBI seal, making forgery even easier.
I had the same problem. Then tried 2 months later and not only did it install, but new Atheroes wifi card magically started working, while it did not work under 9.10. They are working on it, don't dismiss it just yet.

The crushing of the strike imparted a clear enough lesson: keep your head down.

1. Make a dumb movie. No plot or script required.
2. Leak it to the internet
3. Profit.

When the time came to discuss radio pollution of 200 feet radius with the FCC, they said:
"we will provide wifi to everyone!"
No-one will be able to use the service that drives away from you, but its a nice strategy to "sell" the externalities to the city officials.
