Yes, because capitolism can occur naturally in a system of people if left to their own devices. Communism takes a bit of effort (unless in very very small groups and capitolistic trading almost always still needs to occur between groups) to occur and weither true marxism is even possible is highly debatable as it doesn't take in humans natural tendencies while capitolism does.
What he means is capitalism is really what naturally happends when you give people things to trade with.
As yes while all of us can remember some time in their lives when they made a short-sighted decision when it came to trading. It really isn't the trading itself that is short-sighted. Like would be kinda like saying breathing is short-sighted. You can't argue it either way, execpt to say umm uhhh hu what?
Hold on, did you just say you have AT&T Broadband? http://www.tivo.com/2.0.asp They are apparently now selling a version just for AT&T for only $199 dollar
Tivo For DirectTV? Yes all the things you've heard are true, because its the same box. Basically you can get from DirectTV a tuner that has TiVo features. I believe you don't even have to pay for the Tivo Schedule Serivce either as it uses the DirectTV schedule feed. Anyways the downside though, I believe it does have some restrictions on recording payperview and some other stuff, but thats pretty understandable as its sold by the same guys.
Thats gotta suck. Here in Tallahassee, FL comcast will let us do self install. I guess it is all about laws, never thought that state laws could prohibit a cable company from allowing you to mess with your own stuff.

Ebay vs. Musician

Actually looks to me as if ebay made a simple mistake then was very confused by this guy and got tired to playing with him. As the guy started out selling a CD and got a notice from ebay saying they were taking it down. Instead of emailing them about it, he decided to relist it in some weird different way (selling the cover art and including the music for free) This would be something a real pirate would do, obviously trying to get off on technicalities. While he should have just sent a email to ebay explaining that he was the copywrite holder. He tried to trick ebay into listing the auction a different way. So Ebay obviously assumed the guy was trying to get around their anti piracy issue. So they shut down the auction. The guy finally emailed ebay, and in responce ebay immediently put the weird auction back up. So what does this guy do, but up some even weirder auctions, charging for shipping of nothing. (As someone could easily launder money through a nothing auction) ebay closed this down too. So this guy if furious as ebay and goes on a rant which gets ignored by ebay for being idiotic and his story get posted on slashdot???
Whats really sad, is when I read it, I thought he meant evolution as in the theory, not the program. And didn't get the joke for the entire other reason till I read some of the comments.
Not sure if is he a marketer, but there does appear to be a Don Funk with the email address donfu@microsoft.com.
But more importantly, if you search microsofts website, you will see many tech documents that use the name Don Funk as a generic name, so it may have just been the generic name that many MS people are used to using. So there is quite a good chance that whoever created this picture did atleast work for MS, and probably a tech.
Yes, of course this is mostly due to the fact that they stopped releasing good products, which the average consumer cares about. And not because people are worried about their monopolistic practicies.
Well you have to contact the manufacturer everytime you do this, because I'm sure they would be smart enough to make it so the code you enter is specific to the new computer, (you probably have to send the new computers codes in as well) This way yes, it could be duplicated but at a significant time price for each duplication. But some manufacturer is going to get lazy someday and put a form on the web to do this, so you can do it automatically. Though you may be forced to enter a credit card number or something, but it may be hacked. And down down we go!
Microsoft has already made it clear that all existing software will still run. Its simply a matter of that new software/content can be purpusefully made to not run without palladium.
Yes, but you have to remember legislation or monopolies in the content industry, can easily override the concept of a free market. So sure, if there isn't legislation, someone will create free OS media, you can bet on it. But it won't be comming out of the large media houses. And unless some strange unknown market force takes over, this won't hurt the large media houses any, and the average consumer won't notice the difference. So you joe concerned consumer will have to either be satisfied running MS or not have any access to widespread media.
I don't know if they can really say, that. A company can't spend that much money, and say to investors, oh we just wanted to be nice. They need to give investors a reason. Now PR may be the best reason they can come up with, which is often a good reason. Then hopefully they question can be followed up with a question giving some stats to show how many people don't want it, and how it is negative PR. If this is done properly and investors find out, they will be eatten alive!! HAHAHA!:) sorry -grin-
One of the DVD music formats will play on almost all DVD players, its just the dolby digital 5.1 sound stream with no video. And your old player will play your CDs too, so no forced change really. I could see this taking off if the sound quality is supporior. The other one marketed by sony, plays only a special devices, which do play DVD movies and CD audio, but WON'T play this simple DVD music format (not quite sure how it recognizes it versus a standard DVD but I'm sure it wouldn't be that tricky to say if video DNE don't play) Anyways, Which do you think will catch on?

We're talking onboard technology. The O rings could have in no way been saved by modern navigation systems.
They are hand written notes, typed in by hand. (Though I bet he cheats sometimes and makes much of the IP packet human readable)
Do you compile the software on that machine? Or do you just test and write code on that machine?
I think what he is asking if advice on creating a good UI for a program thats as complex as AutoCAD, and hopefully with a better UI.
Yes, of course this is mostly due to the fact that they stopped releasing good products, which the average consumer cares about. And not because people are worried about their monopolistic practicies.
They also state it can be turned on and off at will.

So the Xbox will run a homebrewed game not licensed by Microsoft to run without the mod chip?
No rights should be broad, powers should be narrow, and laws should be narrow, and allow for jury nulification if they don't make sense anymore.
Actually this agreement appears in the EULA when you are installing the player software. Not for Civ itself.
Yea, but these devices are intended to make several trips up and down.
