that is the point. in case everyone forgot, the DMCA made copyright infringement and "piracy" a crime. copyright infringement is no longer a civil matter in the USA.
Microsoft doesn't control DVD encryption or which markets they're released in. Microsoft has nothing to do with my DVD player not being able to play DVDs I bought from Asia. Microsoft has nothing to do with the new (current pop star) CD being crippled from playing in my computer (linux).
FL has the lowest salaries in the country as far as IT goes. Especially south FL. one recent job posting asked for a linux support tech with pay of $7 per hour. Pc technicians with 4 years of experience can expect $10 hourly. Forget health benefits.
laser weapons nothing. you can accomplish this with a $300 motorized telescope and a slightly powerful green laser pointer/module something about 8mW would easily go 10000 feet.
is it reasonable to expect americans to pay a premium for the exact same product just because of where they live?
I believe that is unethical. If a product can be sold for $10 in a foreign country, it should be sold for $10 in the USA. Charging us $50 just because some people can afford it seems like making everything a luxury item.
this sort of zone pricing is what the oil companies use for gasoline. they charge more in affluential neighborhoods for the same product. Of course we are left with the option of driving to poorer neighborhoods to pay less for our gasoline.
I'm certainly not in defense of piracy. Just think about the ethics of zone pricing.
sadly, you are all forgetting the aim of dean kamen's research in the first place. It's mostly for medical mobility. anyone remember the ibot? http://www.dekaresearch.com/ibot.html

it is impossible for two men to reproduce. a female chromosome is necessary for reproduction.
South Florida is a horrible place to work in this field. salary.com reports 60% higher than actual salaries.
when /. is the first site I see report this news, something is going awry

they're not to blame for the abuses of DRM.
yes we should all fear the explosives that ignite at 145f
I wonder how big energy will get away with charging premiums for the most plentiful stuff in the universe.
cedaga 4.2.1 supports 3d games and even HL2 through steam. get with the times man!

they didn't lose money either, cause he would have used paint shop pro instead had photoshop not been "readily available"

we use touch screens. They run win2k.
the blu-hairs running the polling places don't really know the first thing to do should they break.

I wouldn't want to fly in an aircraft made by a company called "BOING"
sounds unsafe!
and sadly sounds safe at the same time!
sure humans are taller, heavier and more agile.
but not stronger.

you forgot a really inexpensive portable reader device with a 16 hour battery life.
my guess would be a hybrid pda running linux with the e-book reader.
it would have to be less than $60 too
they're insulating a capsule against an external heat source. their ram isn't running at 4GHz either.
the same way you tell if an egg is cooked or raw.
if it's raw, it has an orbital motion when it spins.
if it's cooked, it doesn't
