Privacy isn't expressly listed in the Constitution either.
From the US Constitution:
Article the fifth [Amendment III]
No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
Article the sixth [Amendment IV]
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Linus's original reason for writing Linux was to learn about the 386. Much of the original linux code was x86 assembly, and he knew the chip very well. Transmeta needed people who knew the x86 platform very well in order to write emulation software for it.
They'll apparently pay for the shipping through FedEx as well,
Yeah, I had a good experience when my Cube started giving disc read errors. They gave me info, I packed it up and shipped it out. I wasn't aware of Nintendo's return policy...I should've checked it out earlier (I've had my SP for over a year now;( )
These so-called radicals always want to throw stones at the government and big business and so on and apply the term "evil" but they never take any responsibility for what they do, only credit.
If you exchanged "radicals" and "government and big business", would the statement be any less true?
Free will doesn't work that way. Your actions have consequences and speech requires action to convey it.
I thought "free will" was more of a philosophical/religious argument, but whatever fuels your fires...
He and his fellow poseurs lack the courage of their supposed convictions.
I like how you make this statement with (most likely) no knowledge of this person's situation. Maybe he has a family, or other important people in his life that need his support. If you piss off the FBI, you stand a good chance of not being able to support these people as well anymore. You will also not be able to support your cause very much after they restrict your freedoms as they see fit.
I'm convinced that having unwavering belief that a certain philosophy is a sign of mental ilness and/or completely wrong is extremely prejudiced and the sure sign of someone who can't accept others' beliefs.
Maybe for a nice piece of furniture. I sure as hell won't pay ~500 dollars for a software license that will be forceably obsoleted by the same company 3-5 years later. I'll use some random text editor and save my files in RTF of text, thanks very much.
At the end of the day though, the government should decide on what gets the job done with the least amount of money.... I really don't need my tax dollars going to fund an(other) ideology,...
The problem here is that no matter what the government spends money on, it is implicitly supporting one ideology or another. If Microsoft/Apple/Linux/Wal-Mart is the cheapest, is that not supporting a certain type of business ideology, no matter which vendor it is?
A few years ago, when I was in high school, I was talking with my principal about school violence. She was talking about how in the past, before the whole "zero-tolerance" stuff came about, kids would get in fights and beat the crap out of each other. Then, dudes A and B that had fought earlier in the day, would be joking and talking with each other after school.
I think that getting agression out of people is a good thing, and maybe sparring/sports/video games help kids do that. I think that this link is at least as plausable as one that says videogames turn innocent Timmy into a murdering psychopath.
With DVD sales of TV shows, there's "unauthorized" distribution too. I, an untrusted entity, must be trusted to not infringe by copying and giving away or selling the copies.
The question is not whether p2p'ing shows will be legal (it won't)
This is one thing that botherse me. If I'm allowed to make VCR copies of shows to time-shift, what's the difference if I download it from p2p? I usually am busy or forget to watch the 1 or 2 TV shows that I want to, and p2p is the only way I'm able to catch up on them.
Have you ever played videogames? After playing Super Metroid for 1 minute, I knew that it would be great. It's an intuition thing. Also, Lumines is a puzzle game, so 1 minute can give you the feel of the whole game.
Come to Minnesota. Target is based here. Every town bigger than ~8,000 people has one.
Sony has done a horrible job of mismarketing/undermarketing.
I don't think so. I saw 2-3 ads for it tonight during the NCAA games. The same thing could've been said about the DS, but that seemed to be pretty well-known at launch, too.
a friend of mine who works in a game store says its the most returned gaming console in history
Most returned console in history? And it's been out for, what, less than a week? I'm reserving judgment til' later, and no, I'm not a big Sony fan by any means.
Hey look, the "average slashdot" scarecrow! I'm sure you polled every person who visits slashdot on this and other related questions. Thanks for saving me the time!

I can see the ads for it now:
Automator, the best scripting environment for middle-aged spammers who like to have a stylish OS!
And for good reason! I don't think many mission-critical servers should be upgraded the moment a new system version comes out (ex: linux kernel 2.6.0)

MEPIS, Ubuntu, Xandros? All three are based on Debian and a bit easier to use.

Oh yeah and remember he's BREATHING AIR, and some governments HAVE STATE PARKS THAT MAKE AIR.
6. No more dead pixels.
So you're never going to buy a laptop? It's also worth noting that my GBA SP has a dead pixel, but I just sorta accept that...

$479.95 isn't that much in USA.

2) 15 hours?
E-mail doesn't take that long to pull of the server...
Don't they already do this for schools in the US? I never thought it was about profit, but about mindshare.

They seem to be lumping together the technology used to produce P2P software, and the businesses that use P2P to make profit
And I dearly hope the defense understands this. (I'm pretty sure they do, with the EFF and such helping out)

What is readily available on FM that is not commerical includes the following:
* NPR News
* NPR Programming
* Jazz
* Classical
So...these are in the public domain?
