No matter what you put in, you get a file back instantly, some of which are some kind of pornbots or something, and i have had a few where they are a virus, i believe. It seems to change the names of its files on the fly. Its kinda neat, in a way, i wonder who it is.
THis is an EXAMPLE. What im saying is, more and more patents are being granted for a general idea, rather than a specific wording. Think of patenting the concept one click shopping, vs patenting their particular program to enable it. Using my example, you wouldnt be able to "get off their lazy ass and write a new fucking 'happy birthday' song and use that instead" because the CONCEPT of singing someone A happy birthday is patented, even if you write your own song.
Spider robinson has a short story based around this. When you can perpetually copyright an idea, not just a particular sequencing of words or notes, you run into trouble. FOr instance, patenting the song happy birthday, versus patenting the IDEA of singing a song for someones birthday, which is sort of what we are doing now. When that copyright is preserved in perpetuity, then no one can ever use that idea again. THe same is true of individual songs and artwork. Eventually, you will run out of non copyrighted sequences of notes and words, and then people are unable to produce art anymore, and the culture dies, stagnating. I think this is what we are facing. We are strangling our own culture and art in laws that stifle creation, and therefore, we are going to fall behind other cultures that dont have such a thing. That is what the U.S. is founded on, seeing something, coming up with a better way of doing it, improving it, and doing it again. This process of stifiling forever copyrigting is killing off innovation, and its only going to get worse. If we keep doing this, we will be destroyed from within. If the US controlls all other countries copyrights, then the entire world is going to stagnante and die.
in Discover, or scientific american a while back. It was a bout a man who had been given sight back after losing it as an infant. He went form being blind, to having decent vison at teh age of 40? or so. IT was fascinating reading. Depth perception for him was something he had to think about, optical illusions didnt work. Catching a ball was a new experience. He learned to ski while blind, so skiing with vision was actually harder in ways, he had to lear to interpret what his eyes were telling him, versus what his legs were telling him.
I would be willing to pay say, 1-2 dollars for an e-book. If one of the current best sellers was available, hey, that a good price for me, seems reasonable. THe last plce i saw that was selling this sort of thing was peanutpress.com, and they were charging cover price (6.99) for books in palm and various formats. Not their fault, its the publishers. THe seem to run a pretty decent organization. I WILL NOT pay cover price for an e-book that i dont get a dead tree copy of. I love being able to read e-books off my palm/compaq, etc. I have a huge e-book library, and once something hits paperback, it will be avaliibel as an e-book. But not availible legally. I cant BUY the book for a reaonalb e price, but they are available free, if you know whwere to look. THis bothers me. I want to give my favrite authors money. But their publishers wont let me pay them legally, at a reasonable rate. I dont understand this. I have the same problem with music,only this e-book problem is not as well known. ANd yes, i know about fairtunes and the like .

Dude, if you try to replace Sharon at nanny obriens with a fucking piece of electronic crap(granted, it nifty crap), you have to go through me to do it. ANd youll lose my business. SOme people happen to like human interaction when theyre having a beer.
Fine. As soon as software companies have to meet certain basic requiremnts when the sell the software. Like, yes, they may be liable if their poorly written crap shreds my hard drive. If youre gonna start hastling the poor bastard working in the back room of uncle bobs shop, you damn well better be hastling microsoft first.
Would anyone EVER start any kind of busisness, if when it failed, or had an accident, they could be sued barefoot and out of thier own house? With corporations, there is less personal risk involved. If they did away with corporations, something else identical with a different name would pop up, or the entire worlds economy would die in about a day.

That stuff will grow on anything. Just feed it a steady diet of chlorox and water.

I have had 2 drives fail well within the warranty period, and did not return them for just this reason.

They can have a sample of the chlorox resistant mildew in my shower. I think its started feeding on the bleach, rather than being harmed by it.
