The reason why they are targeting colleges is because it is that
1. college students make up the majority of their profit 2. college students make up the majority of P2P users
They would LOVE to target non students as well, but last time I checked there was no university for young people that aren't students.
I believe the P2P crackdown is analogous to when you have to make room on your hard drive. You start by deleting your 650+mb Divx files before you delete your configuration files.
Hmm...I bet doing the latter is what has messed up my computer;)
Though I haven't read the article and don't really understand a lot about computers 4.7 is more than twice my 2.0 ghz so I must get one to browse the web twice as fast.
My favorite complaint of the movie! No he is not mexican he is Maori as in from New Zealand.
Then they usually respond,"well he looks mexican."
Again, DUH! Mexicans (natives, as there are Mexicans of all backgrounds) like New Zealanders are part of the mongoloid race.
Ever notice that East Asians, Native Americans and Eskimos all look similar? It is not a coincidence!
For Linux to lose to Windows it would have to have been eroding % wise. By all accounts Linux is gaining!
Just because you are losing does not mean you have lost.

At all of this has come within the year (there are other notable milestones for Linux projects I just can't think of some of them)
Everything is going in favor of linux. Red Hat is becoming profitable, IBM is selling Linux servers, and other buisness are more open to Linux than ever before.
Desktop linux will become a reality (some will argue that it already has), the only question is when will it(on a large scale)?
Hell you can get a Linux computer at Walmart or Compustore.com (see below or sig) for cheap!
Some people have jokingly said That it is not a waste of time as long as we are annoying M$.
It is more than that! As with every product for consumers the way people hear about them is through advertising...pure and simple.
So every time Microsoft says they don't want linux being run on their hardware, it not only "bugs" M$ but it also gives Linux free publicity. Hell, if I were IBM, Red Hat et al. I would being running linux on anything and everything Microsoft just for the propaganada value alone!
No such thing as bad press, and this only makes Microsoft seem like a corrupt organization bent on making computing their way or the highway. Let 'em, to paraphrase Leia "The more they tighten their grip the more [operating] systems will slip through their grasp"
Out of curiosity, how do you know what you do? I am an american student that is interested in Learning Norwegian. My very limited vocabulary would not have been able to throughly translate, but I wasn't too far off:-)
I go to USF in Tampa, Florida. USF stands for University of South Florida (yes the school with the terrorist instructor who became leader of the islamic jihad). Anyway, USF.edu is our website, but USF.com is Universal Studios Florida.
We should sue them, I bet they have deep pockets and could help me lower tuition costs.

Beneath the veil is a special on CNN. It shows just what an oppresive regime the Taliban is. It airs at 11:00pm eastern tonight and I think 7:00 tomorrow.
Okay... and what is the point? If students can just "look up the answer" during test time, shouldn't they be able to do the same in real life? If you can't remember an equation what difference does that make, remembering is a bad idea. You should be learning concepts not intake/output facts.
Trust me our public education system has much larger problems than "Some kids might beam information."
China gets military secrets from the clinton administration. These have progressed their arm capabilities leaps and bounds over what would have naturally occured.
However we are worried that they will understand how DVDs work?
Do you ever want to shake your head in cocky superiority?
How can this be? This goes against the spirit of free speech.I thought Totalitarian China fully supported open source and the open expression of ideas.::rolling eyes::
Remember the rumors that Lucas would release an "untouched DVD" meaning you would get TPM in all its blue screen glory.
Not only would this have been interesting...
but now that the phantom edit is making the rounds, Lucas knows the capabilities of the fans would be greatly improved to swap out effects (such as Jar Jar) and change back grounds.
Title says all! Maybe napster is the reason GE just layed off a few thousand workers. Damn them, damn napster! Level headed thinking is in short supply over at DMCA perpetuators hq.

If knowing about a technology is illegal(according to the DMCA) the people who submitted the instructions on how to crack it, as well as the people reviewing it(on behalf of the SDMI proponents(mostly the riaa)) would be in violation.
Copyrights, as they stand now are 90 years if held by a corporation(ie, movies) or 70 years plus 35 past the life of the owner, if held by an individual.
Any movie whose copyright expired, did not get it back. For example, many movies in the 50s did not renew before the time they needed to, they are public domain. However, the script, film techniques, music and etc. may still be under copyright. That is why you don't see full length movies online.
If you do want to see movies, in MPeg2 or DivX format that are legal,
The RIAA is complaining that there IP is being used inappropriately. Isn't that website design and logos the ripoff of Napster's IP. Sure that is their fair use, but they want to deny us fair use. Was Napster fairly compensated for the use of their design and trademark?
More hyprocrisy from the psycho lesbian bitch, Hillary Rosen.

Good point, but I assume they know that.
They are mostly interested stopping P2P that they are worried about and ideological shift.
It is hard for them to win a "but..we worked hard and you are stealing from us " style argument.
Especially since their treatment of the artists is well known.

If you check out the site, they refer to a program initiative called Lunex, which if I am not mistaken is what Steve Forbes called Linux.
