Should we be sending someone over to India to point out that Europe doesn't have software patents, all that software patents so is allow US companies to boss you around so why should you adopt software patents?
Droping software patents seems to be the best solution to this ?problem?
Will you be able to burn DVDs with Home Basic, or does that functionality only come with Premium and Ultimate?
You could always buy third party tools to do the job, I expect that the basic editions meet with the EU ruling about stripping down windows and don't come with media player or anything else bundled giving the user/OEM the chance to install their player, burner, web browser, text editor or whatever.
CD's by the Beatles will have been remastered so their copyright starts from the date they were remastered, but if you own an origional recording on the Beatles then your free to copy it because it's copyright will have expired. (this is probably the reason they always remaster CDs)
Also there is no need for being so offensive; rudeness is a weak man's imitation of strength. I know what you mean... "So shove your misplaced moral indignation up your arse."
Perhaps there is a cultural misunderstanding here, or you just didn't read what I wrote. You were complaining that taxes would go to 'money grabbers' so that they could have a TV. Again I hope you have to live on £60 a week, maybe you would change you mind. Living on the dole isn't an option anyone who had any other choice would make. I hope you get a horrible illness even more than before, maybe that would bring you back down to earth.
That doesn't make it property So the government have licensed something they don't own? Gees, your thinking head really isn't on today is it.
"I want to own red and no-one else is allowed to use it but me." Well, that wasn't the point of the post you originally replied to, I kinda expected you to be on topic.
Why can't we just pay one Federal Tax, one State Tax, and one Local Tax?
Because some things are taxed to 'discourage' use, e.g. Fuel and Alcohol and some things are taxed by usage e.g. VAT/ sales tax, too many people would kick up a fuss if all tax was income based.
Possibly the wost thought out comment I've read today...
Yeah well I don't use a TV at the moment and I'm quite happy not having to pay the BBC for a service I don't use.
I don't have a car, I don't have children, I'm in good health but I pay for roads, schools and hospitals. Also I don't have a TV either, but I still pay for the advertising costs whenever I purchase a product from a company that advertises on TV and so do you. I expect the per annum cost is much higher that the cost of a TV license.
Oh but of course, those of us that go out and work hard at making ourselves more employable, get the high value jobs and become successful should pay for those lazy good-for-nothing layabouts that sit on the dole.
I hope you get a horrible illness and have to live on £60 incapacity benefit for the rest of your life.
Since when did frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum become property?
Christianity, Judaism and Islam all have the same roots (Abraham) so you would expect them to have the same kind of teachings. Try a non Abrahamic religion like Hinduism?
(OT) It's reasonable to assume that whatever created the Universe had the same amount of energy as the Universe, ergo the Universe created itself without any God fiddling with things.
Why not display a full search page and not the 'I'm feeling lucky', that's even more usefull if I've typed in cars or something instead of a company name. The new system would take you to MG or VW or foobar inc but not give you the option which.
and how would the new system improve on that? Sure you lucky you have a kormoc.com but what happens when someone else registers kormoc, your even more screwed.
Look what happenes when there's a shuttle accident....
We wait for the next accident, even though they throw a tonne of money trying to fix it. I think the old SU (and to a greater extent the new one) are just as bogged down because of politics and beauocracy, rather than callousness and unconcern. Put it this way millions of people and many countries were compleatly against the Iraq war, so was Bush, mallicious and unconcern or was it all politics. It doesn't take much searching to come up with a conspiricy theory in any country or with any government.
but isn't one of the benifits of running multiple threas per CPU that while one thread is waiting for memory another can be executing, helping redress the ballence without NUMA
What's wrong with doing a google for slashdot if the user doesn't type in the TLD? It would help out loads by being able list a companies web site even if they don't own their prefered domain name.

What's wrong with sleeping with little boys, my parents slept with me, and I'm sure that's true about many other people.

"Of the four Beatles, Starr did the least songwriting. The Beatles explained that when he would present a song as a contender for an album cut, the song would sound (to the other three Beatles) like a knockoff of another popular song, but Starr did not recognize the similarities until they pointed it out. He did, however, write "Don't Pass Me By" (on The White Album) and "Octopus's Garden" on the album Abbey Road, albeit with quite a bit of help from Harrison. The White Album continued to show Starr's taste for country music that he had brought into the band earlier, such as on the Rubber Soul' album track "What Goes On", which was co-written by Lennon, McCartney and Starr. Starr also wrote "Taking a Trip to Carolina" (on the second CD of the Let It Be... Naked release), and received joint writing credits with the other three Beatles for "Flying", "Dig It", "12-Bar Original", "Los Paranoias", "Christmas Time (Is Here Again)", and The Beatles' version of "Free As A Bird", while "Maggie Mae" was credited as being "Traditional arr. Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starkey"."

I know what you mean...
"So shove your misplaced moral indignation up your arse."
That's all fine and well until they convince the good? people we vote for that the conditions are already equivalent to licensing.
Which is fine until it goes out of release and then your screwed (or end up having to use p2p networks as your backup!!)

I doubt the overall cost is very high though compared to other forms of taxation
I think it's quite high at around 5%

Since the time that the Government though people would pay for it. BTW, feel free to use as much red as you want.
Taken in context, all that tells us is that Matthew was a bit of a perve and had problems dealing with it.
Christianity, Judaism and Islam all have the same roots (Abraham) so you would expect them to have the same kind of teachings. Try a non Abrahamic religion like Hinduism?
"but very often their software stays around"
but it is eventually replaced with a re-write.
In 5 years the technology will have moved on, all software is disposable.
What is induction
And that's why they invented DRM.
The question remains, were there any quality movies this year?

You can already do that in the UK, it's called spoiling the ballot and it doesn't do anyting pratical.
and how would the new system improve on that? Sure you lucky you have a kormoc.com but what happens when someone else registers kormoc, your even more screwed.
