It's quotes like that which make me want to kill every proponent of copyright in this country. Fix copyright or die. I only wish things were so simple.
Actually, your numbers are off. The backlog is 700k+ now and expected to reach 800k by next year. This is according to an interview I heard on NPR the other day.
It is widely accepted that the Hebrew version of the Torah is the original. One of the earliest complete translations that is available to us is the Aramaic translation that is usually printed along-side the Hebrew in the Chumash. It is also documented that there was a Greek translation made by the Rabbis in the Talmudic era. Neither translation is literal. Why would you think the KJV version, done over a thousand years later, to a language that is not nearly as similar to Hebrew as the above-mentioned languages would be at all accurate in comparison?
Considering that the KJV of the Bible is a translation of a text that was known to have been editted many times in history, it would be foolish to take it literally. In the case of the Torah, it was known to Talmudic scholars that the exact text had changed over the years. No copyist is perfect, and mistakes were introduced. It is also possible, though perhaps not very likely, that intentional changes were made. I think it's not likely because many different copies existed to be compared. Intentional changes tend to stand out.
You fail to realize that the "someone else" would be Cheney. I think Americans are more afraid for Bush's life right now than Bush himself could possibly be.
BSD code included in a proprietary product with no source availability is no longer open source. Even taking the directive of "remove all open source software" literally, there would be zero effect on Windows software, including the OS.
On the other hand, I think you are literally an idiot.
So using a counterfeit copy of an OS in a situation that allows the OS to kill someone (let them die) will get me life in prison, but using a legitimate copy of the same OS not getting the publisher of the OS fined, much less any jail time, is somehow OK?
We do not need a new law to cover negligence with respect to death. Such an act is called manslaughter and is already legal. This part of the bill is nothing more than an attempt to make copyright violation literally worse than killing someone.
There is no longer a value placed on human life. Only your potential to increase profits has any meaning. You don't see anything wrong with this?
Not even 250 years ago, the founders of this country willingly committed treason and went to war over laws such as this. Life imprisonment sounds a lot worse than taxation without representation to me. The general population of the United States are not served by this law. We are not being represented. Now, we can't even get the offenders voted out of office. Never mind trying to incite a revolution.
employees. The only answer to greedy, immoral shit like this is to behead those that participate. There is no valid reason these people should be alive. The day corporal punishment became taboo is the day that Western civilization ended. No one has to take any responsibility and every single child is taught that nothing is their fault. Is it any wonder that more and more crap like this happens every moment?
Not only do I hope she wins, I hope the Jury/Judge slaps the University with several million in punitive damages.
It wasn't all that many years ago that drinking at any age was acceptable and normal. Only since clean drinking water and pasteurized milk has been available (200 or so years?) has alcohol NOT been the normal drink.
If you cannot understand the difference between a physical object and information, there is no hope for you. Noone is claiming that stealing a physical representation of information is legal. But arranging for a physical representation of the same information, using my own resources, is not stealing. It is only illegal because of copyright law.
My own opinion is that copyright law only exists to make the creation of new works economically feasible. So long as I do not harm anyone's ability to make a living (and you don't need upteen millions of dollars to live), I feel no qualms about violating copyright. I pay for anything I in turn use to make money. Anything else is pretty much fair game to me.
You have the mentality of a piece of shit. Anyone who feels that a/. uid means anything other than they have a/. account is a meaningless waste and should simply be eliminated.

I think the point is that having a super-secure OS w.r.t to remote vulnerabilities is very easy when there is no remote access. If (open)ssh was the only service enabled on a Windows box*, it would be just as secure from a remote-exploit point of view, would it not? That's why it's embarrassing. When you learn that there are no remote services enabled in the default install, it makes the whole idea totally pointless.
* To my knowledge, the NT kernel has never had a remote-exploit found. Only services above that level.
If Obama didn't want to buy it, that would have been a non-story. However, he also stole the profile, and thus indirectly, the site from its owner. Like every other politician, Obama deserves torture and death.

People have watched movies for decades on screens worse than CGA. You might have heard of them. I think they are called televisions.

Unless you are currently involved in such research, you are just a hypocritical fuck.

The only one that can fire him is more evil and corrupt. It won't happen until after the 2008 elections.

Basically, you are wrong on every count, except the (c) on Canadian money. I don't have any to check, so it's possible you are wrong about that too.

Huh? I think you are dumb. Or ignorant. But probably both.
Slurpees have pensions? Wow, everyone is saving these days!

I don't watch movies or TV, and the games I play make money from subscriptions. Please feel free to abolish copyright.

I think it's fairly clear that the officials involved should just be be locked up forever. They are an incredible danger to the citizens of Houston.
