Surely, a game using the Quake 2 engine is a derived work of that engine. So if you want to release such a game you either do it under the GPL or you pay id for a commercial license of the engine.
BTW, that is the same trick that Borland used for Kylix. You can use the free version of Kylix, but if you do, you can only distribute your programs under the GPL. If you pay for Kylix, you can distribute your programs any way you like.
That may mean losing your house when the RIAA sues you into oblivion. Too bad- you're engaged in civil disobedience, and that has consquences.
So whose side are you on? If a black guy gets thrown into prison for daring to sit on a seat reserved for whites, will you shrug your shoulders and say "Too bad, he engaged in civil disobedience and that has consequences. Don't like this policy? Then don't drive in their bus!"
You are so right. Itunes Music shop users, are you listening? Your money is used by the RIAA to pay all those lawyers blackmailing common people. Stop supporting the RIAA.
So I did RTFA and the starforce guy repeatedly claims that many starforce protected games have not been cracked so far. I suspect he is lying. Does anyone know of any games that are starforce protected?
Now, that is not true. If d is the chance of failure in a given time interval for a single disk then the chance of failure in the same time interval for a two-disk RAID-0 is 2d - d^2. For small d, this is roughly equal to 2d (or, more generally, nd for n drives). Thus, the chance of failure goes up (at most) linearly.
This is like MS deciding they want a piece of the Linux cake and coming out with their own distro but making it so that you can only install programs in a special MS-approved format.
It does have an onboard RAID controller and enough space for two hard drives (three if you don't require a floppy).
...which proves the old saying

Just because you're paranoid it doesn't mean they're not after you.
Fischer is definitely paranoid. For example, he said he believes that all of today's chess matches are rigged (the players have agreed on the sequence of moves beforehand). On a wider scale, he thinks the Jews are after him and his family, that the holocaust did not happen etc.
On the other hand, jailing a person because he played in a chess tournament? Have we all become mad?
Just combine a CeCILL program with something GPL'ed (e.g. a one-line patch you write yourself), then the licence permits you to publish the result under the GPL. If the combined product is under the GPL, then so is every part of it, in particular the original CeCILL program itself.
From this I conclude that CeCILL programs can always be redistributed under the GPL.
Excuse me but it was Bill Clinton that ordered a similar bombing campaign against Yugoslavia some years ago. The same international laws were broken then as well. Only many more nations had interests at stake then, so the joyfully backed up that endeavor.
No, I won't excuse you there, the situation was very different. Yugoslavia suffered from an ongoing genocide. The war had already been going on for years. NATO had not started it; NATO went in to stop it. All western democracies agreed that this needed to be done. If Clinton is to blame here, then it is for hesitating, not for acting.
How can a program notify you of anything before it even loads itself into RAM?
Nearly every game or application CD for Windows loads a program into RAM the moment you put it in the drive. I never heard of any company being sued for this.
Iirc, The entire senate also voted for the patriot act, didn't it?
Maybe you should think a bit harder about what it means when some country's parliament unanimously votes for a law that really should have been highly controversial.
And why are you calling Michael Moore a kind fish?
On the other hand, this method saves HD space. If you start a download of a 1GB file with some other programs, such as emule, a 1 GB temp file is created immediately. Shareaza's method requires only as many bytes of HD space as have been downloaded so far.
machine that hand-burns each of the screener copies with the name of the recipient in about four thousand random places in the movie -- some very subtly and some very obviously
A measure that can be defeated easily by combining two copies from different recipients.
As a matter of fact, the word "theory" does not at all imply an element of uncertainty and doubt, but simply that the statement(s) in question were arrived at by deduction rather than direct observation.
Number theory, for example, is simply a body of facts about numbers. Of course, in mathematics, empirical observation is never necessary to deduce facts.

60,000 movies (at 700 MB) or 10 million songs (at 4 MB) correspond to 40 Terabytes. Still a lot for a home user.
One has to wonder, are there even as many distinct movies and songs?

Except that it would just fall through the floor, eventually come to rest at the center of the earth (or moon) and then eat it up from the inside.

And I wish you weren't making up blatant lies to make your argument more appealing. Plus 5 Insightful, indeed.
If you want us to believe such tall stories then post a link to some evidence. And don't post as anonymous coward, either.
Should that be open-sourced too, so that everybody can make their own?
Control + mouse wheel makes the problem go away.
but unfortunately it was censored by the Slashdot lameness filter.

And don't forget 'Yes, Minister', a true gem of british comedy the like of which patriotism-blinded America could never do.
But I will admit there is one american comedy series I really did appreciate for its often-times absurd humour - Ally McBeal.

Here is a report of international crime statistics which shows that there is, in fact, far more violent crime in the US than in Western Europe.
The following are average numbers of homicides per 100,000 inhabitants per year from 1997 to 1999
US : 6.26
England : 1.45
Germany : 1.28
France : 1.63
Norway : 0.85
Russia : 20.52
S.Africa: 56.49
Interestingly, the land of the free also has the extremely high prison population (from the same source, again per 100.000 inhabitants)
US : 682
England : 125
Germany : 97
France : 91
Norway : 56
Russia : 729
S.Africa: 327
