Assuming they get a clue and stop spiking their own (and otherwise high quality) products with intrustive DRM and proprietary formats, there is no reason to assume they will be hated any more.
Are you talking about Apple, I thought they were doing quite well with their intrustive DRM and proprietary formats / technology. (Though I won't buy Apple because of their naty law suits, propriotray everything and tonne of DRM)
So they didn't leave the sea for the land becaue of the resources, they must have left so some other reason. (well unless the resources were plants on a river bank)
Primes are basically the non-harmonic points on a integer scale, electrons fall into troughs that are a multiple of there wavelength creating harmonic patterns. So both will form patterns related to harmonics.
I don't know what the energy fluctuations are but by the looks of things they would be electrons 'popping' to disharmonic states.
You should still have the master disk, unless.....
You lost the disk then you no longer own a copy. It was stolen then you technically still own a copy, but don't you have insurance and ebay for things like that, do you want to make a backup of you car too? Your house burnt down then re insurance, ebay and backup your house next time.
I think that if the copyright holder refuses to sell you a copy at a reasonable price (and that starts at next to nothing + a little bit) then screw them, why should they have a copy right when as a commercial company they seem to abuse it by not wanting to make any money.
Anyhow, do third world countries (and many Asian countries) have draconian copyright laws? if not then there residents are doing nothing wrong.
a) download a trail of dreameweaver and write a simple web page, test your page with firefox.
b) Pop in a dos disk, fire up debug and write a text editor to write your web page, then write a GUI and web browser in ASM to test your web page, hand write all your browser tests too don't use the automated ones on the web.
There's been a lot of change in the way people write software, ever used a punch card and waited a day or two to get your debug results back?
The poor can survive just fine without music or movies. Why should they have to? it costs next to nothing to make a copy so selling it at next to nothing + a little bit and you'll get more money back than the poor buying a pirated copy for the same price.
(PS I would say they shouldn't see them because the're crap and a huge waste of $$$Million that could be spent on.... umm.... contraception.. to help reduce the number of poor)
Give each PS3 a unique magic number. When making a backup encrypt the copy so that it can only be accessed with the unique magic number.
The backup will be tied to one machine and it doesn't stop people passing around the master disk and their mates making backup coppies of the game to play, but it does stop people making loads of coppies and selling them / passing them on.
The backup could also prevent online games or multiplayer games from being run on more than on machine at once, to add greater protection the ps3 could be required to 'dial up' whenever you wanted to play a game from a backup.
News of this has been kicking around for ages, but you have to read the 'left' wing press since the right wing press don't think you need to know. Read theregister.co.uk a bit more often, they have almost daily updates on the ID card and all the other crap, or maybe try some civial liverties web sites.
I think they've taken a few choice points from Hitlers ideas, 1: Get your self into power. 2: Get rid of Guns so that the population can't fight back 3: 'Reform' the only body keeping you in check (the Lords) oh, and don't forget to slip any nasties into you 'manifest' because the people really want them if they vote for you. (what's wrong with a referendom instead of the parlement act) 4: Start monitoring the popultion with ID cards. 5: Pass a law allowing the government to pass any laws it want's without going to parlument. 6: Kill all the left handed people and slap asbos on all children whos parents claim benifits.
Oh, and don't forget whenever any of your chums fuckup always say that you fully support them.
Poverty doesn't enter into it when you're talking about the problem. Since when is poverty an excuse to be immoral, especially when we're talking about non-essentials like music? Bring it on brother, it's about time we stopped overcharging the poor for digital copies that cost next to nothing to reproduce.
According to colper's compleat herbal and medical too much garlic can worsen any melancholy that you have. I'm not sure if there's any modern research into those kind of side effects though.
"If anyone has ever seen the next big thing, Bill Gates certainly would be a candidate."
Didn't he completely miss the internet and then to claw his way back intergrate something called ie? into windows which ended in his company almost being slit in two but eventually ended in a similar way to George Bushes war crimes are going to be tried. Or did I miss something?
Bill just buys up the companies making the most proffits assuming that they are onto the next big thing.
Somehow I think the genes that cause serious physical and mental diseases aren't going to be the ones we need in the future. e.g. spina bifida or Alzheimer's, both are genetic so both could be eradicated using eugenics.
cystic fibrosis is vaguely usefull since people with cystic fibrosis are more resistant to tuberculosis.
You could also keep a pool of people who's sole purpose was to provide genes just in case the eugenics cocked up as a safeguard, hopefully after a few tens of generations they wouldn't be needed because we would be smart enough to engineer our own genes in such emergencies.
Eugenics is great, you just haven't thought it through properly.
"Evolution doesn't spontaneously happen. In your two camps of dumb and smart people, unless there is an environmental pressure on either group they will stagnate and there will be no "progression"."
Ok, let me spell it out for you (are you sure your not stupid).
Take a population of people, split it into smarter people and dumber people, keep kicking the dumb people down from the smart population and the smart people up from the dumb population and what do you get?
The environmental pressure is self imposed by internal selection not by any external source. This internal selection is pretty much rich kids go to private school so get good jobs meet and marry other rich kids poor kids go to public school get shit jobs so meet and marry poor kids.
Now I'll show why poor == more stupid and rich == less stupid and how evolution works.
some of the smart poor kids will make money and be able to send their kids to private school. Some of the stupid rich kids will drop out of school / work before they find a life partner or will loose their money or fail to send their kids to private school.
See, easy...
"and I seem to be capable of string correctly spelled words with proper grammar...unlike a certain individual that I am replying to right now..." but failing to get a simple argument. I call too busy with your head in a Nazi dictionary that you can't even see you dumb ass.
Anyhow, I've just rechecked my 3 ways and there correct, they result in your "more suited genes outbreeding the less suited genes" since a suited gene is one that goes on to reproduce and an unsuited gene is one that doesn't, e.g. sickly cell anemia is common in places that have high levels of malaria, go google it and find out why.
p.s. Sorry if you already knew you were stupid, I didn't want to rub it in I just thought you hadn't realized yet(probably because your too stupid).
p.p.s. Seeing as you so stupid, I thought I'd better point out that you started the personal stupid insults, BTW just spell checked my post, and their (sic) were know(sic) spelling errors.
I have to work for someone else doing a job I don't really like (or one that's not too inspiring), not because I don't have good ideas and implement them but because if I enjoy doing something I just too much of a commie to want or even like to be given money for doing it.
I've also had paid jobs that I found just too inspiring and spent all day dreaming about helping people out and fixing their problems (as in this product will really make their lives better) and couldn't keep working there.
Good ideas: ten a penny. Getting off your ass : $10. Actually wanting to get paid : priceless.

No - thats the way Apple works (taking people by surprise with cool new stuff)
FreeBSD has been around for years, apple works by taking old stuff and putting it in a pretty box so that it looks like cool new stuff.
I'm sure you'll find something intersting here
What about the limited number if write cycles in flash memory?
(You could always buy recycled HHDs)
They phrase it to make you feel like a winner, so you come back to win some more.
Everyone likes to win.

Ehrlich wrote The Population Bomb in 1968, in which he claimed that overpopulation would lead to mass starvation.
I give you Africa.
the obvious answer is that land represented a huge unexploited ecological niche, with tons of food and no predators
How did they know they were there then? That's almost as obvious as God told them to.
So, how do I create a device that zaps every ID card in the locality?
I always thought that a prime number is devisble by 1 and it's self, because the exclusion is in the definition of a prime then 1 can be prime.
Google doesn't quite know, some people say a prime must be >1 and some people don't.
Primes are basically the non-harmonic points on a integer scale, electrons fall into troughs that are a multiple of there wavelength creating harmonic patterns. So both will form patterns related to harmonics.
I don't know what the energy fluctuations are but by the looks of things they would be electrons 'popping' to disharmonic states.
