Martha Stewart committed what most would consider a minor fraud. She was a very rich woman at the head of a very large corporation. She still went to jail.
In case you didn't notice, criminal charges are still pending in this HP case.
I don't think Sun stands to gain much from destroying Linux at this point. The damage that Linux did to Sun is done, destroying it won't help matters now.
I'd believe you more if this story was about a company that really wants to destroy Linux, like Novell or MS.
Unless they change Russian law to make it illegal, which hasn't happened yet, it'll be there. As it stands right now, it's 100% legal.
Besides, my point is the labels need to emulate allofmp3, sell the tracks cheap and sell a lot more of them, DRM free. Then people won't mind buying the same stuff over and over if their hard disk crashes or whatever.
I guess that would be the most consistant view for an anarcho-capitalist Christian. Could get a little dicey though. Would you report someone who committed a crime against you, knowing that it would result in their imprisonment?
What part of it would one believe? There's a lot of verses that contradict other verses. That's what happens when people have changed something over hundreds of years to serve their own purposes.
They are trying to comply with monopolistic "intellectual property" laws. If the US hadn't been pressuring them to start complying I doubt they would even be attempting this.
I'm not one of those "defend business above all else" libertarians.
Government is just a monopoly on coercive violence. Therefore most libertarians want to reduce monopoly power, whether they admit or believe it or not!
There's no need for all that crap. Just sell the download for what it's worth, about 10 cents per song.
I don't have any problem buying music I've already bought over again on allofmp3. Hell sometimes it's easier to buy it again than to remember to burn a copy of it to listen to at work.
Gone are the actual video games. Those were too violent with the shooting and the killing, apparently.
They have been replaced with what amount to casino gambling machines. The last arcade I went to, there were very few games that didn't have a very large element of chance, with the payout either being in more tokens, or hundreds of tickets.

In the US at least, there is no marketshare threshold for being a monopoly. To be an illegal monopoly you only have to have the power to distort the market, and be using that power in a way that has been deemed abusive.
This switch was overkill. It was a huge Catalyst that cost way too much. I replaced it with 5 netgear 48 port switches and everything's been fine since.
What the hell is a PIX for, if it's not for routing? I seriously don't know, I just use whatever Cisco crap the corporate office sends down for routing the VPN.
On a LAN? Why not? There's no reason for it. We have 10 gig technology.
Why would anyone ever purchase a huge catalyst that has gigs and gigs of backplane bandwidth if there wasn't demand for a scalable way to avoid overscription?
I was forced to take many useless math classes. Multivariable calc was just the one that stuck out as pretty useless.
If you want to learn skills which will allow you to get an entry-level programming job today, go to the trade school.
I didn't want or need to learn anything. I didn't go to school to learn, I went to school because I felt like I had to. I can learn by reading the Internet.
I dropped out after a few years, I've got 6 years of professional programming experience now. I do wish I hadn't wasted those years in school.
Your major assumption is that university is useful. That assumption is incorrect. Universities only exist to stroke the egos of the professors, and provide them a place to dick around and get paid for doing it.
That's great. When I need advanced math I'll hire a consultant with your qualifications.
There's no reason for everyone to know it. It's like teaching people how to make pencils in a creative writing class, it's useless information that has been made irrelevant by this thing we call "specialization".

You really think some assistant biology professor (with an obvious tilt toward anthropology) and a few grad students are going to cure AIDS?
To PETA, the human race continuing and being prosperous isn't a good thing.
The debate really isn't whether there is warming or higher CO2, the debate is whether it is human caused or not, and if it even matters really.
Your post is a pure straw man.
A terabyte takes days (well, a good chunk of one) to read/write even with hard disks.
Avoid the temptation to double post like this. It makes people that read nested very annoyed.

That logic is flawed.
Same logic: Per capita, more black people commit crimes than white people, therefore, black people are more dangerous to hire.

You don't have to give up your guns to be a pacifist. You can reject the initiation of force while reserving the right to defense.

Wages for Americans are not Taxed [losthorizons.com]
Do you think anyone is going to take you seriously with a link to a tax resistor scam book in your sig?
You might as well have an ad for "V1AGRRA" down there, it's on the same level.
If you change insurance without a gap in coverage, you won't have to wait for any pre-existing condition period to lapse.
There's also COBRA.
Have you been to an arcade lately?

Our PIX is indeed routing, and doing VPN.
So they can route, apparently just not very well.
Jumbo frame doesn't work well on a heterogeneous network.
Not necessarily all dumb switches, just not the highest end stuff.
