2 problems. 1. Software and media is easily copied, but did it become free? Could it someday become free? Possibly. We will go through years, of a battle much worse than RIAA could even dream of over rights to copy physical items. 2. Lets say number 1 gets worked out. And everything becomes easy to produce. And you can mine the minerals yourself. Land prices will go through the roof, literly. I don't even want to try and think about how expensive land will be. And of course all the rich will then be buying up all the lands so that they can mine it and sell it back to you, and rent you use of property on the land.
Wtf does the size of the earth in relation to the suns output have to do with the amount of time the earth has existed? As you saying that the earths mass should equal the suns output of energy onto the earth??? Why???
*Currently* the hot swap doesn't work so well, as attested by the article. But that is not a problem with the standard but most likly a problem with either XP or the current motherboard it was tested on.
I'm confused, all this research shows that people use the back button VERY frequently. I personally almost never use the back button. So what is it that people are doing that require the back button, maybe solving the need for one would be a better idea. Are people trying to visit list of links? How about a more obvious tabbed browsing UI. What are the other uses for back? Can anyone tell me. Personally long before tabbed browsing was available I always opened in new window. So I really am guinuinly confused as I havn't used the back button in years.
Read the article it states that there are different levels of trademark protection. Quote from the article. Trademark law affords the greatest protection to words that are fanciful or arbitrary, like Apple. Next in line for legal protection are names that are suggestive of what a product does, like Huggies. Next comes a descriptive term, which describes an attribute of a product, and last come names that are generic, or widely understood to mean a category of products. Generic terms cannot be trademarked. So Apple has it clearly, as the word Apple has nothing to do with computers, same with Armada, Expedition is use suggestive and Perl is arbitrary. Anyways, taking away the Windows trademark wouldn't nessesarly keep microsoft from calling it that. And "Microsoft Windows" would still be trademarkd, as well as "Windows XP" as the XP makes it unique.
Na, my first DVD coaster was a few months ago with my first DVD writer. Ordered a pack of generic DVD-Rs half ended up being coasters, now I just buy opertron (cheapest non generic and recommended by pioneer). Ask Slashdot: What DVD-R DVD-RW media brands do you recommend?
Most colleges pay different amounts in their site licenses. Mainly based on how long the college has been dealing with the company. For example FSU pays $5.56 per computer per year for SPSS (generally half a major version behind) While most colleges pay 50-100 bucks per year for it.
Yes, and that is how most 2 legged robots work. Its just that. 1. A bit more complicated. 2. Some kid can easily shove it over (they can probably shove this four legged thing over too, but it would require much more effort I would imagine) 3. 2 Legged dinosaur.. hmm raptor? Cool!

It has support to boot into multiple MS operating systems. I don't believe (could be wrong, someone please correct if I am) it can be used to boot into any non MS OS.
Well "closing" napster didn't but people leaving napster (first because of the filtering and the knowledge that they would be shut down, then the actual shutdown) to use other programs, kazaa etc. Did actually significantly change the p2p world. Napsters chat rooms where filled with people discusing music and its software was all about recommending new music to others. kazaa and the like are simply about searching for music you know of and downloading it. The community feel is completly removed. Its not longer about sharing with others the music you love, and simply about getting free music the quickest way possible.
Millions of dollars? That chump change, if licensing the spectrum made them in the hundred billions of dollards I'd understand your argument but millions of dollars is often left in a couch cushions of the American budget.
My parents put me on a low sugar diet when I was a kid (very ADHD) for me it helped my attention span but I didn't run around like a normal kid anymore, so they eventually quit without bothering to try and find a good balance. My step-child on the otherhand was very ADHD also when I entered the picture, we dropped the sugar level significantly and she was very sluggesh at first but as her body adgusted she got more energy but wasn't completly herself so we increased her carbs till she had energy but could still pay attention. It really helped a lot.
Had to comment, If its not true, not believing in it doesn't make it any less true either!:) So his statement was factually correct, it doesn't matter how you belief, the truth isn't going to change just for you.
In most states its perfectly legal to have lockpicks (unless you are a convicted felon) But get caught using those lockpicks to commit a crime and your really busted. My dad used to be a locksmith I remember it was always a huge argument amoung locksmith weither they should presure the state the regulate the industry (require license to have lock tools) The large locksmith shops were all for it, and te small ones were all against it (having to get a license is a barrier to entry obviously) Anyways the state didn't pass any law as their wasn't a concensous. But thats just Florida, your millage may vary.
Though then again when they arrest the little guys of organized crime don't they have to catch them doing something??

Of course one would have to know what the real commodity price is, the price the government wants to set, the rules for setting price, and the current going price that they they base their payments on. This info wasn't given so I'm not going to assume anything based purly on compain contribution numbers.
But he was an employee. Ok lets take this in reverse. Remember when yahoo was charged with selling nazi stuff in france. If a american employee of Yahoo went to france on a visit and got arrested? What would we all be saying? now descision making executives of a coperation can be criminally arrested for thieir discisions. But this guy didn't make the discision to sell his program in American he simply produced an legal program in his country, and his employer made a discision to skirt the law and try selling it in the US.
You also seemed to have missed the point that Sklyarov was initially charged with this crime and spent a few weeks in jail for it, I hope he gets some sort of compensation.

Just incase your curious about the overheating thing, deisal gas doesn't explode by a spark like petro does it exploded when heated to a certain temperature (though this temperature is pretty high so its not goig to just accidently explode) If you know some about physics the more you compress a gas or liquid the lower its temperature and the freezing and burning temperatures are. So deisal is compressed in the cylinder till the heat of the engine (or hot plugs) makes them explode. Anyways an old deisel does not need electricity and I assume the way they are turned off is shutting off the gas flow but I guess the old ones that didn't shut off simply decreased the compression ratio till it didn't run anymore.

Thats actually not true. Diesel engines don't spill any more junk that petro engines do its just that the pieces are larger so they are more visible. This is actually a environmental plus as they fall to the ground while petro exaust doesn't and hangs out in the air for a long time.
Though of course console systems have been implementing the security from users by hardware for years. And guess what they still never got it right. Oh well, good luck microsoft.
