Im sure there is evidence to support the disassociation between piracy and sales. You just have to compare multiplatform games (games on ps3 and xbox360). When you get games that sell equally well on both consoles, yet one of them (the xbox360) has been "cracked" for a very long time, that says to me that piracy makes such a small dent in sales.

Wow, the RDF is in full effect. You know that big apple logo that lights up on the lids of apple laptops? What purpose does that serve besides you showing everyone you have a apple product?
As a software user, I prefer to buy and use software that is under GPL. What benefits do I as a software user get when I buy software that is under BSD?
"It amazes me that people can take one small piece of data and extrapolate so much from it."
This is called a survey or statistics.
"If it really was news, it would be at all campuses around the US (or North America, or the world for that matter)."
This is called a census and takes much more work.

No way to share an algorithm? No way to run a key generator?
But now spyware and related software can now cripple your cpu without pegging your cpu at 100% usage.
It is criminal court, he can have a 'free' lawyer.
They mean physical jobs where this can prevent injury.
I thought regenerative breaking is used in a hybrid car, where energy is stored in the battery.
By that logic, you admit sales people are just as important as the engineers?
So why hasn't Sony restored the OtherOS function now? Sony is to blame for the removal of the feature, don't try to pass the blame.
What leak? I thought we were talking about rape.
Or they are uninformed buyers. They get most of their information from advertising.

Did you ask Steve before trying out flash on your Android device? Why do you think it is ok to deny you the option of running flash on a apple device.
So what happened to AppleTV? Why has the WDTV and ASUS O!Play dominated?

Or get a real GPS device that can get a signal from off state in under 30seconds.
If this exploit is so dangerous, why did Apple not fix the flaw in older devices?
Which is a nice way of saying, the people that pay the bills do not care about missing people.
I think you mean between any state and the solved state. Not any two states.
Why can't the end user decide if they want to run flash or not. Why does Steve have to decide?

Hey, why don't I just disguise my video data with some voip headers ...
Hate the game, not the player. If you don't like it, change the laws.
