this is just an ingenius and way-stealth method of making private medical records really really really really easy to get into.
I can't wait to learn the medical histories of Ballmer and Gates, maybe view the ex-rays that show exactly how far up his ass Darl McBride's head actually is.
>> Again, the music industry seems to think that 80%+ of illegal copies are made directly from CD sharing, not P2P nets. Kazaa is the important element in the trial; music sales in digital formats are the important element in modern trading overall.
Curious, I don't see or hear of the RIAA suing anyone for this massive theft of sharing CD's. I don't even hear them talking about it.
This is an industry plan to wipe out Fair Use, plain and simple. everyone should be opposed to it in whatever form it shifts to and this splitting of hairs over digital copies being "perfect" vs analog tape copying "degrading". hell, I bet a tape would have to be copied more than a couple times before it's got as much loss as the typical "pristine copy" of an MP3.
and if I spoke like the RIAA, everything above this line would be an absolute truth.
the government needs to enforce Fair Use, and if recording industry wants to nail copiers, let em find a CD swapper, at least a CD hasn't yet been degraded into a virtually worthless mp3
what's hilarious about all this is that the best music is already free. anyone ever heard of archive.org ?
the BSD license is completely open, why would they want to hamstring it with GPL? BSD doesn't prevent you from doing anything, other than mucking with the BSD licensing, right?
I think MS just likes to stick it's finger in it's users eyes every now and again to give self assurance that their user base will literally put up with anything. like moe did with curly. curly hung around.
kind of a crude and sadistic loyalty test....that or MS is preparing to release a new and improved "Bug-Free Windows (TM)", making such sites as these obsolete. yeah, that's it...

man, what's the world come to when you can't redistribute free sh*t?
I love the abuse of language. yes, it's free and you STOLE it. now pay up.
maybe that predicting the unpredictable computer came up with this....
probably redundant, didn't bother to read comments to find out
gives it time to "blow over"
seems there were some shenanigans at HP that Fiona might have to answer for. Did that all go away?

in seattle there is a coffee shop that does not charge, they accept payment based on what you think you should pay or want to pay.
what's sad is this will not stop this administration.
they do what they want, when they want, how they want
they will tell you.
"stop laughing, please. We're secure, really, why are you laughing harder, stop that."
I guess they just need to say it 9 more times for it to stick
cause saying means more than doing.
any many many other things that are perfectly reliable
yep, the entire insides of a plane are highly toxic when burned.
that's why you have to get down low on the floor when exiting a burning place, so the toxic smoke doesn't kill you
the 87 is gonna be safe, what a BS story from a pissed off crank ex-employee.
he wanted 15 minutes, Dan Rather complied.

they are not losing a billion, they are not faslely charging that billion.
all this time Darl and friends have been saying
SCO=UNIX
SCO=LINUX
SCO=$$$
when really it was
SCO=RIP
spell check is your friend
yeah, we all know how that goes.
not sure how it goes once it gets long past twice
does losing NBC content mean anything to the typical ipod user?
I've had one for years and this is the first I'd heard of NBC ever having content on itunes.
the news is the same, the sitcoms are the same, the reality shows are the same (as any other channel)

why?
religous reasons?
I hope Theo tears them a new one on this one....
having read the article, I find Stallman to a) speak clearly about the issues b) make sense
question to you linuxers out there
without Stallman's GNU project, how would your linux work?
what have YOU done to help stop the cancer from redmond?
you know it won't support other distros. there will be "technical roadblocks".
meet the new novell, same as the old novell. deaf, dumb and blind.

Franco is dead
I just made that up so you would waste more time on this non-event
the industry has abused this word to the point it's meaningless bullshit meant to obscure the fact that no, there are no new ideas here.
and here they told us we won the cold war

maybe a few hundred billion tossed at the carriers will solve this, wait, we already did that didn't we.
