But what is the ethical reason one should expect to be paid for, say, a movie?
Pure self interest. Paying encourages the people involved to do it again.
Otherwise, you'd just get freshman/amateur work with the ocaisional OCD writer.
Although, strictly, you shouldn't pay them as well every time. Much like mice, people work harder when rewarded semi-frequently but in an irregular fashion.
Ray Beckerman (/.'s NYCL) is a copyright lawyer, and he doesn't think [deleted] that record companies should have the right to sue people into poverty because of a few kilobytes of uploads. In fact he fights them tooth and nail.
Unless one road is a higher grade of road, then the primary road becomes continous and the crossroad is just screwed.
Happened to the main road outside my plat last hurricane. Couldn't get out unless you want to get t-boned by someone enjoying the new lack of stops/cops, I had to take the back way out and play 4-way stop for 5 miles. Should've biked.
I don't know about your camera, but mine is cleverly hidden inside my cell phone. Doesn't take much savvy to get one of those, and before long, almost everyone will have a 3+ megapixel camera in their pocket -- if we're not there already.
And not long after that, every phone will have photoshop on it.

And if you suggest cheapo film cameras, what stops me from taking a picture of my phone's screen while badly out of focus? Besides a beating, anyway...
The law is effectively saying "Everything's written on the equivalent of postcards that anyone can see as they handle it, anyway - so why should we grant it any legal privacy rights?")
That's exactly why I don't care. When I send an unencrypted email, my mail server sees it, my router sees it, my ISP can see it, and 10 or 20 other servers between me and the destination mailerserver can probably see it too.
If someone sends unencrypted mail, I don't feel in the least bit bad when it gets read. If you wouldn't send it on a postcard, you shouldn't email it unencrypted. If whomever you are sending it to can't deal with that, contact them by another method.
Seeing as water vapor is the largest greenhouse gas(by volume, mass, and % of warming caused), could one say that this is like opening the fridge to cool the kitchen?
The human brain is wired to experience pleasure when you learn or become better at a task, but isn't as well wired to discriminate on the usefulness of the task or knowledge(since it can be hard to know "usefullness" beforehand).
Since people like to feel good and the brain will reward them regardless, they find it is easiest to become good at something trivial than something hard.
I can't really look down on farmville players too much, as I've wasted entire nights on tvtropes.org
I don't care what your study says, it is well known that reality has a liberal bias.

You do know that the wave protocol is open and designed to run on multiple servers, same as email/irc? Apparently you are unaware that there already exist other non-google wave servers.
If you're not a troll, then you are just ignorant.
If the set of symbols you need is less than the number of keys on your keyboard, set up an alternate keymap/charset, or a bunch of macros in the editer of your choice.
Yah, when a relative of mine retired and went to live out in the woods, he put a router up a tree in the middle of his property with a solar panel and a car battery, all in a 5 gallon bucket. It lasted for years until the tree got blown over and the battery casing cracked from the fall.
I was just wondering if there was anything premade and tiny with room in the casing for a gel cell or a pack of D cells.
While there may be an ever-increasing number of places to put advertising, there is still a limited number of eyeball hours and thus a limited number of places anyone would want to buy space from.
Eyeballs is the market, and people still pay mostly for quantity, excepting niche markets with high individual value(and those don't advertise in the same fashion).
If you're in a group, it'd be handy if you didn't all have connections already. Also, I could see it be handy if you had a camera with one of those SD cards that uses wifi to transmit photos saved to network storage.
Are there any standalone(not cellular) battery-powered routers? I haven't gone on a family car trip in ages, but if I did, I'd want some networking:)
Plus, one of the holy grails of mesh networking is a cheap battery powered wifi router.
You must live someplace with decent healthcare or something. There have been half a dozen H1N1 deaths in my metro area in the last month, mostly children.
On the other hand, I know, or know the parents of, nearly 20 people who got it and haven't died yet.
For once I don't feel bad about buying early and getting a 7** eee, as I haven't had any problems with its SSD, although I do most of my writes to SD cards.

No profit in it. Just get a sufficiently round mouse, stick it in a sock and sew it shut. Tadah.
The knockoffs would blow them away.

You can cook and do web pages. But are you a professional chef and a web designer with a proficiency equivalent to an MS?
I can build a decent cabinet from scratch or make a liquid filled chocolate covered cherry, but I'm not a professional joiner or confectioner.
Where are you getting Smartq7s for $170? That sounds cheap.
Actually, I'm suprised that blood costs more than the 3M coolant.
I was given to understand that my employer would forcibly repossess a volume of blood equal to the coolant I spilled if I ever did it again:)

I just got an oven that has more oomph than my first computer. Possibly more than my second, although much less disk.

You just need somebody to port GPSdrive or one of the other linux GPS programs and precache the maps along your route.
I don't have a linux-based phone, but I've done that on my EEE for all the regions in nearby that have crappy signal.
You've clearly never been rear-ended by a cop after he knocked over his coffee while trying to run your plates on his laptop.
Very awkward, all around.
