Always easier to change the system from within:) How else do you think you reach all the idiots who think this is living??? Certainly can't do it in person anymore, everybody is in a love affair with their little robots.
btw, we use renewable hydro electric here... still ruins the environment though, just mainly before production:(
Sometimes it's almost futile to fight the flow, but there's always hope, that like a montreal street crossing, you'll gather enough people going in the same direction to change the tide.
Show me the animal who is stupid enough to think they should plant a flag on the moon. It requires living in disharmony and destroying your living environment. Don't confuse human stupidity for intelligence.
Deep down, you know your argument is a wash. This is Disney we're talking about. It's not like they haven't made any new characters or new movies. They make money off of selling characters to be stamped onto anything that can be sold to children. Allowing others to use those characters to sell exactly the same crap isn't innovating anything, it's just helping the dumb people who can't come up with ideas on their own.
I think you would be extremely hard pressed to find any intelligent innovative person saying that the only thing holding them back is copyright. Copyright protects you only from people who don't have a product themselves.
Now, if you redefine innovation to mean 'distribution of wealth to those lacking the means to come up with a novel idea' then yes, copyright is hurting innovation.
Well, if you're stupid enough to not comprehend more than one level of grouping, stupid enough to not enable parens matching and automatic insertion in your editor, stupid enough to think the handcuffs your language puts on you is a feature, stupid enough to not realize there is no syntax to get in your way, well, then you're just to stupid to grok Lisp and it's apparent why, with your limited intelligence and vision, you cannot see how Lisp is pertinent to the discussion.
Like I said, when programmers aren't as infantile in their mental capabilities like you, then we won't have this problem. Until then, we'll have a small group of individuals creating their own systems in lisp that just work, and the vast majority of programmers exchanging little bits of scaffolding trying to overcome the restrictions that their language of choice imposes because the language creator understood something about the vast majority of programmers:)
They have parental controls, quite a slew of them, all available as options. Your reasoning is stupid and wouldn't survive a court of law. It's called broadcasting. Whether or not someone at Nintendo misunderstood the broadcasting laws from Germany and that they shouldn't apply to digital downloads, or to all of the EU, is another story. Perhaps videos are multi-casted to preserve bandwidth, or games torrented, in which case the broadcast laws do apply and they are legally obliged to implement this strategy. Perhaps they're only implementing a blanket ban in the EU to get the WiiU to conform to the laws to have a successful launch. Perhaps, they'll later divide the EU into smaller restrictive sets, or fix it so it only applies to child accounts (it may or may not already, there seems to be confusion around this).
If you have to wonder why, you're obviously not very good at wondering.
Yes, let's all ban it because Nintendo was being so silly for applying (albeit in a questionable manner) a EU restriction. Let's not give them a chance to fix it, instead let's go with a company that is known to flaunt government regulations in almost every country.
Nice to know such intelligent people have stayed behind on slashdot.
Except that parents offload their responsabilities to Gov't and then gov't enacts stupid laws, and then some companies, like Nintendo, choose to follow these laws. You know, almost as if they're following the wishes of the parents.
It's actually simple to change, just have parents act like parents.

If a normal person suddenly becomes unhinged which do you think they'll be able to do immediately, buy a gun or build some sort of explosive?
Our society is directly under our control. If you don't think improving the human race is worth doing, then you aren't much of a human.
Gosh no, they tend to steal free will... not so much in Canada though.
If that's in any way appealing then you don't have to worry about the end of the world because your life is already over.
Look it up, you're wrong. Avoid implies volition. 'Narrowly avoided' is an idiom.

Context! If you stop thinking about other people's dicks, you might have noticed this was a discussion about SERVERS!

Only partially correct.
Social psychology disagrees with you.
Nope, you're just an animal. Why do you have to bring your belief system into this?

The inability to copy previously copyrighted items is strangling INNOVATION? Perhaps they don't understand the word innovation.

Problems don't exist in reality, they exist in points of view.
If you have to wonder why, you're obviously not very good at wondering.
No, I cannot seem to imagine Sony or Apple following government guidelines, that's just absurd!
Nice to know such intelligent people have stayed behind on slashdot.

Yes, I'm sure the government will allow you to sue them for trying to comply with government regulations.
Or put another way, have you ever known of Sony, Microsoft, or Valve, respecting government laws without being forced to?
I'd be tempted to ask whether you even live in the EU but my confidence in peoples reading comprehension abilities is plummeting.
Perhaps you wouldn't be wondering why they're doing it if you had an ability to read and comprehend the summary.
is whether he's already written the book. Perfect money making scheme.
Do you live in one of those places that people call milk products with dead bacteria yogurt?
