"Anyone, feasibly, given enough time and enough resources, could hack into any system."--Brad Hill, CIO of Dealerskins, a Tennessee firm that hosts websites for car dealerships, confessing in September that the company had exposed 1,000 customers' car-loan applications on an unprotected website.

Nice to know that my internet financial transactions are safe since they're being handled by professionals. (Professional idiots, apparently.)
Disney's whole business model is based upon "stripmine the public domain, rape the folklore of the world's cultures, and give nothing back, locking the results up until the end of time".
That, and bad, direct to video sequels destroying any emotional value we placed on the original.
Their shit would be worth nothing if it didn't capture the imagination of the public. Once a story has an audience, to a degree, it belongs to them.
Here's the key : Copyright is a legislated exception to the natural state of affairs.
The astronauts knew that they had had a foam strike on the orbiter.
The informed mission control, who would look into it.
Mission control decided to roll the dice and take a calcualted risk WITH SOMEBODY ELSE'S LIVES and told the astronauts that there was nothing to worry about.
The astronauts believed them.
The shuttle broke apart.
The astronauts died.
The fault for taking an unneccessary risk lies not with the astronauts, but by on-ground management.
Your analogy is "people die in car wrecks every day, but still they chose to die". But you overlook that "the mechanic didn't bother to check the brakes after he fixed them".
IBM could protect themselves from others abusing such patents by patenting the process (this is legally possible?!!!) and then ASSIGNING THE PATENT TO THE FSF which will steward it for the public good. or something.
Dammit, I've already paid my $8 to see your goddamned movie! I'm not the one you need to be winning the hearts and minds of!
The people you really need to go after are those that AREN'T already in your damn theater and AREN'T buying/renting your DVDs. Maybe you should take out some magazine ads or something. I bet those damn gamers have PCs and DSL... hmmmm....
As an engineer, I find wasted effort to be offensive. STOP annoying your paying customercers!
Oh, come on! How can you be certain she's a *BSD supporter? Devil costumes, unlike penguin suits, are a common fetish item. That whole "I'm a baaaad girl" thang.
Lord knows, I wouldn't waste my time jerking off to her unless I was sure she supported *BSD!
"The word SCO is in danger of becoming a synonym for " frivolously sue with absolutely no basis in reality, and then crater so hard that the Morlocks pound on their floor, yelling at you to keep quiet down there.
"This holds chilling implications for anonymous political speech -- handouts and small posters tacked up on telephone poles. I used to think it was only the bad countries that registered copy machines."
And what logical conclusion do you draw from this?

Dropping a load of superballs from 30,000 feet would resolve the problem immediatly!!!

Howard Dean's 'smart ID' plan
Are all you hip digirati still down with Dean?!!!
Can Sbaitso write prescriptions?!!!
Yeah, but will it be compatible with my current BeastChip2003 ?!!! I don't want to have to pay $120 for an upgrade!

You had fathers?!!!
And suddenly, thirty thousand advertising execs pop a raging boner.

Anything invented by OOG the OpenSouce Caveman is allright by me!
That is, to maliciously waste one's time.
Or more succinctly, just FAIL IT.
Yeah, I'd like to know about that, too.
I haev your magic beans!

Maybe THE SYSTEM correctly diagnosed him as having a propensity towards crime and hence signed him up for the advanced course.
Who says things are set up to prevent crime?!!!
As my grandma was wont to say : "Never let a robot open your pillbottle for you."
They'll steal your medicine!
So open source proponents should start strongly supporting Xerox!
