I note that you used the word "budget". A budget is meant to be spent. Only in the consumer classes does this happen. When you reach the upper classes, men are more successful at creating a profit, whereas women are still happy to spend it, feathering the nest.
This is why women are poor and submissive, and men are wealthy and powerful. Women are poor at math relative to men, which is why men rule the world.
They probably didn't want the support burden of bundling the PC with a Linux distribution.
This is subtle linux bashing at its best... or perhaps FreeDOS is the cheapest alternative for an OS; which is able to verify the working state of the hardware.
Copyright is NOT an absolute monopoly on the duplication of a published work -- no matter how they whine, the copyright cartels cannot deny you your LEGAL fair use rights.
This case is taking place in Australia. There are no "fair use" rules in Australia. The lack of "fair use" rules in Australia is wrong.
Sorry, but that article looks like SPAM. Especially with christmas closing in on us all. Advertising on slashdot? Who'd have thought it? I don't need junk mail in my slashdot news articles.
Stock represents ownership of a company. Good companies have tangiable assets, and some actually have a good profit.
Cash is reliant on the government. The value of cash is tied to many different "tangiable" assets and enables their liquidity without the need for a complex barter/trade system. The theory behind Intellectual Property allows the exchange of one non-tangiable asset with another. This is where cash and IP differ.
Yes, these systems all rely on governments and their laws to work. If the governments ability to enforce its' laws crumble, then you are out of luck. The gorvernment is unable to enforce IP laws to any great extent.

No. What is so destructive is when an economy comes to rely on Intellectual Property laws to create wealth. Intellectual Property laws are laws, which, create an artificial protective bubble around an economy. This protected economy has negligable physically tangiable assets. As soon as the laws become unenforceable the economy crumbles.
Intellectual Property is to Property as Fools Gold is to Gold.
Then the new spec would be worthless as long as the old spec continued to stop spam. The licence allows you to sub-licence as many times as you wish. You can pass it onto yourself an infinite ammount of times, which should allow you to distribute as many versions of your software that incorporates the spec.
That is why I warn you all to watch his moves carefully. Why does that get moderated as a troll? If I was warning the world to watch out for Bill Gates 15 years ago then I would have been modded insightful. blahh...
I, for one, will call this a success. Rupert Murdoch is running this operation. Any Australians who know the history of Rupert and his Media Empire know that he makes the correct decision more often than not. With the full listing of News Corp on the NYSE and the re-incorporation of the company to the US only just having taken place it is to be expected that some very positive news will start to flow about the fox group and its related companies. Expect a barrage of good news after the company is listed in the S&P-500. You Americans would do well to watch his moves carefully... Rupert is the king.

If you're so keen on giving away information then you develop something, pay with it out of your own pocket and give it away. We'll see how long you survive.
no its a mythical place where cats chase dogs, water flows up stream and software is free and open and yet consumers, companies and the economy all benifit from it.
Dude! What are you smoking and where can I get some of it!?!?!?!?
I was flipping around one day on MTV, and there she was. OMFG - she can't sing any better than I can! Yet she is supposedly popular. It seems like a big joke, kind of like that movie "Trading Places". Someone is just proving a point, that they can take a nobody with no talent and turn them into a star.
I think the real problem is that some of these so called "artists" have large sums of money to begin with and just want to spend it on making themselves popular. They think they are investing in themselves and their new career. They live in some fantasy world. The sales marketing "in your face" MTV approach only works for so long. When reality bites and they are not selling CDs because they lack talent, they are not able to look at themselves and admit to themselves that they lack talent. They blame everyone and everything except themselves, they are in denial about their lack of talent. This is what the non-US world refers to as "self absorbed americans".
Real talent is squashed by the RIAA business method.
The only way to prevent that is what you are talking about, which would require a replacement of *all* CD players.
This is what the special bonus section of these DRM CDs will enable. You will only be able to play DRM CDs on longhorn and other DRM enabled devices. There will be a gradual "phase out/phase in" of these technologies. CDs will be made with more and more DRM "bonus" sections... Eventually (if things go to plan for the RIAA & MS) new CD/WMA players will be made with DRM and *without* backward compatability. Combine this with CDs that only have "bonus" sections and you have the DRM solution that the RIAA is looking for.
Well, this is the plan that I see MS is proposing to the RIAA. Of course DVD-John showed us all how easy it is to crack DVDs. I also forsee a load of new IP laws being introduced to enforce these hardware DRM solutions. FUCK THE RIAA AND OTHER IP CARTELS.

All of luke skywalkers fears have come true. The evil that is the MPAA is really the father of p2p...
