When I wrote "lack of support from the open source community" I was thinking on lack of alternative clients for Skype. Unless in the meantime someone has created any I'm not aware of.
Hold your horses... don't you see this is marketing stuff? They will go higher on the 'space' on next Nexus version release, hoping more people will buy it thinking "this one flies higher than the other, so I'll go ahead and buy it!".
Exactly. This way I can tell my real friends to use Ekiga and the other, boring friends to look for me on Skype - like if I was there:D.
As well I created my own social network ( http://n.irc.su/ ) where I meet the real friends, and use Facebook for the other 'friends':D
Providers offer free and unlimited use of Skype because 'it's what everyone uses', in the same that almost all computers on the stores come wit Windows because 'it's what everyone uses'.
If everyone starts using SIP, I'm sure Skype will die. If everyone starts using Linux or FreeBSD, I'm sure the monopoly over Microsoft and Apple will fall. The problem is, 'everyone' is not starting to use SIP/Ekiga, nor Linux or FreeBSD instead of Windows and Mac. So these monopolies will most likely never fall until something better than, in this case Skype - and I don't think SIP/Ekiga is better than Skype in the present.
To be honest, all I don't like in Skype is the fact of not using a standard and open protocol (SIP) but their own closed protocol: this breaks the support from the open source community.
My Ekiga account which uses the much more "open" and widely supported Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is still up and running. By "widely supported" I mean that many more applications support it (while Skype is a proprietary form of VoIP), not that more people use it.
Time to laugh of all my friends that are now trying to use Skype! (soon I'll be receiving messages through MSN - not IRC or GTalk - asking why Skype stopped working)
Assuming it was really accidental, I think it should have happened because the P2P client was configured by default to share some common folder like/home/user or C:\Documents and Settings\User therefore sharing the music files (and everything else in the subfolders!) to everyone... so, what can we learn? "Take a look at the settings of the apps before using. Default is not synonym of optimal." ...however I would naturally say it was not accidental...
But now thinking on the real philosophic roots of the subject... why does she need to pay $27,750 now? Because of information technologies...
Finally I just hope they let her listen to the 37 "stolen" tracks for every times as she wish... let's say the licensing price of the tracks was not very cheap, hehe.
And this is why I stopped using eMule, then stopped using Songr, then switched to Linux and now I use YouTube plus its great feature of putting the temporary video file on the/tmp folder. "Oh, looks like I did an accidental copy of the file from the/tmp folder into my (Rockbox'ed) iPod! Oh god!"
Jailbreaking your mice is officially not recommended by Cheese, Inc.
Doing so will void your warranty and you will loose right to customer care provided by Cheese Inc., as well as you won't be able to use the CheeseStore!

Q: When we will be able to dump and decrypt the firmware of a mice in order to install some Linux or OSS firmware there, or put mice to browse the web and tweet for us?
A: When scientists discover the gene that is locking Bluetooth and WiFi communication, as well as cable networking using the tail of mice. (just wondering, how to put a RJ45 connector on a tail?)

...overclocking the device's CPU! It was so cold in the "space" that they could push the new Nexus to the limits... without cooking it :)

You can always overclock the CPU and then put it in the fridge... oh, wait...
