Movie warez is a drop in the bucket. Right or wrong, warez is not costing the MPAA anything. The MPAA spends more on marketing than list at retail every movie downloaded.
The true and measurale loss is the actual theft and bootlegging of movies. The guys standing the street corner selling movies are the real criminals here. Stop that, and you ought to see a reflection in sales figures.
Most people are taught it is good to share. When we had a a hurricane pass through here and some trees came down, our neighbor came over with his chainsaw and helped fell the trees.
When I read a good book or play a great game or hear some good music, I tell my frieds about it. I want them to experience the same things that gave me pleasure. I will loan them a book or make a copy of a cd.
GTK is LGPL so they could use without risk. Anyimprovements to GTK would need to be open, but that is to thier ultimate benefit anyways. They are not into making GUI toolkits but application software.
They could also use QT and pay Trolltech for licenses.
I think Adobe is more likely to be looking at porting thier Desktop Publishing stuff and server products. The ports would probably go-
Server Products- Document server and Collaboration and other backend server stuff (some runs on Solaris and others are Windows only) Acrobat Printing Framemaker Illstrator then maybe Photoshop, Premiere and other AV stuff.
By not using it to connect to the internet. Linux really is better for that sort of stuff. My parents have a Linux box I built for them to browse the web and such. It works great for them. When they need to buy some peripheral they ask me on what I advise and I tell them. If they were running Win32 or MacOS they would still ask for my opinion. Sometimes I will search on the internet like check the list of scanners that work with SANE, or I will just tell them buy an HP or an Epson printer.
I just upgraded my mobo to a K8T800 Pro and it has only 2 SATA ports. Which would you rather have- 2 SATA hard drives with the option for RAID and some PATA optical drives or a couple of PATA hard drives?
Until mobos come with 4-6 SATA ports, noone is going to be real interested in SATA Optical drives.
Liebeck placed the cup between her knees and attempted to remove the plastic lid from the cup. As she removed the lid, the entire contents of the cup spilled into her lap.
Emphasis added. She wasn't driving no, but she was in the car. The claim is that the car was stopped. It could verily easily be that the car was in motion. The jury also found that she was 20% at fault.
Except that you are not aware of warranty coverage untill after the purchase. It is reasonable to expect an electronic device to have a 1 year warranty (and may be required by law depending locale).
Besides, you wouldn't sue a car manufacturer if there was a design flaw?
WTF? How do you get away with trademarking a cube? Thank goodness Ford didn't trademark the appearance of his car, else we would all still be driving model T's.
In practice it means you can exclude healthy straight non-old males. Anyone else you better be arresting them for theft or they need to be causing an extreme disturbance.
America is the only Superpower left in the world. American English is the default for pilots throughout the world. America invented the Internet. Slashdot is located in the US.
It is only to be expected that the American dialect of English would be "spoken" here at Slashdot. To expect anything else is a particularly offensive form of arrogance. I will not be browbeaten to be ashamed of my nationality.

Except that Linux is now the default *nix. There is a reason why IBM designed there mainframes to run Linux. IBM didn't setup there mainframes to run virtual machines of BSD. There is a reason why Solaris and FreBSD have linux emulation layers. There is a reason why Sun sells Linux machines.
There are more Linux than Mac servers. Depending on whose numbers you use, there are more Linux Desktops than Macs. Even the conservative numbers put Linux about equal with Macs.
I have a dual boot box that I recently upgraded the mainboard and video on. For Linux, connect PS2 keyboard and pop in distro cd when prompted. That was it. It booted up and ran fine.
For win2k- BSOD. Had to reinstall windows, load drivers, load updates, and finally completed it many , many hours and reboots later.
A lot of corps are replaceing machines of similiar specs. The company I work for just replace 600 PIII 500mhz machines and selling them for $35. No keyboard, mouse, modem,or cdrom, but does have onboard nic 10/100, VGA and Sound.
Looking on pricewatch and a no os sytem can be had for $86.
It is easy to return software. Repeat after me, "I do not accept the terms of the End User License Agreement. You will need to speak with the Store manager, but he should understand the legal issue involved.

Safely as in it will cause toxic effects in humans.
You can use on any sort of garden, but it will cause any plants sprayed that are not resistant or overly large* to die.
*I have sprayed some large bushes on accident before and the bushes did not die. They did look a bit sick for a while but did come back.
If there was no carmack then either there would not be a PS2 or else they would have licensed D3D.

Do you complain when people ask to borrow a book?

I have had spyware viruses and whatnot- How?

Wrong. We make EULA's illegal and then none of these hijinks will be allowed.

I meant to put in white but, that is what you get for not previewing.
However, many places will bend over backwards to avoid upsetting minorities just because of discrimantion lawsuites.
Dr Seuss, Football team, style of play of football.
Crawl out for m under your rock and try living a little. I don care to watch sports, but even I know who the Green Bay Packers are.
Liar.

Found complete systems without OS for $86 before shipping, I think after shipping it was $114. It can be done but requires a bit of digging.
Amen.

It depends on whether you think that the IP laws have been taken too far.
Add an order of ten and you might see some sag. Some really old glass windows in usually cathedrals have thicker bottoms than tops.
Where does, err, one volunteer? :)
