People own copyright on their own code unless they specifically assign it to someone else. A owns his code, B owns his code. C's code is illegal and C is in a world of hurt because he committed infringement and is liable for the damages. A and B could strip out C's code once they found out and no harm can come to them.
Posting this from my mac mini. While most of your arguments are sound you forget one thing: A PC won't run Mac OS X.
If you want a computer that runs OS X that doesn't come with a built in display (say, for instance, because you already have a 21" trinitron) then you have 2 options, a mini, or a powermac G5. The mini costs $500, the powermac G5 costs $1500.
With three mods the mini can be speced to be a pretty speedy machine. 1. Clock it up to 1.5+ghz (free), 2. Give it atleast 512MB of RAM (you do have RAM lying around don't you? I know I do! So this was again free for me) 3. (optional) Replace the hard drive.
I have PCs already, I wanted a mac without breaking the bank, for $500 I have a 1.5ghz G4 mac with 512MB of ram and a 5400rpm HD. As it is right now the HD doesn't seem to be giving me any problems unless I try to do something stupid like play world of warcraft. The mini has pretty much relegated my PCs to server work or games, OS X is just too beautiful and nice to work with.
If they're both included in the same program you do, ie: if the binary compiled by your source includes both functions then the source to both functions must be released.
Why are you not treating email as public now? Don't you realise it's not private nor confidential in any way? Why are you sending sensitive information over email presumably unencrypted?
AOL is only really big in the US, every other country it's in only has a token number of subscribers. Therefore the segment of internet users who get regular AOL email is not very large.
Apparently someone has never heard of malware which, I don't care how hardend your IE settings are, unless you're blocking everything from getting to IE it's still going to get infested.
The acting, yes, is not the best however is on par with most of anikin/amidala from Ep1/Ep2. I thought Liam Neeson in Ep1 really brought it out there and Ewan McGregor was great support for Neeson but in Ep2 there was.. nothing.
Anyways, the lightsaber scene between the two chicks was horribly choreographed, why would a jedi whip out a second light saber only to swing them both in unison? I thought the one male jedis fight was pretty good, but it seemed like the only one, and it was too short.
These jedi seemed to have a lot of emotions including love between jedi? Did these guys who wrote this thing ever watch any of the movies at all? The only sane guy out of the "good" crew was the one who wasn't a jedi. Being a jedi, wouldn't the two be able to sense the general alignment of the other? The whole trust fight at the beginning is odd. If my sister, who was a seer jedi, knew another jedi and trusted him, why would I, also being a jedi, not trust him, especially if I could just sense his feelings? It makes no sense. Plot = swiss cheese.
1. Yes I disagree for two reasons. The first is because the person in question may not have advanced knowledge of Tridge listening to the traffic. The second is because even if the EULA was violated I believe that part to be unenforcable as reverse engineering rights are protected even by the draconian DMCA.
2. Yes, I would condone it. The internet is a public network and you should assume at all times that you are being listened to. This is not bank account information he's listening to, this is the protocol that (most of) the linux kernel maintainers used to keep track of their code changes.
That's only one argument, the second is that you don't actually get to see the agreement until after you buy it and open it, at which point most stores will not take it back. The third argument is that many restrictions inside EULAs are unenforcable and run counter with the law, ie: reverse engineering rights are protected.
I disagree that the software being free to download would in some way cause me looking at its network output to be any more or less restricted or under certain terms than a Free or even a proprietary commercial software package. It makes no difference.

IANAL.
Until the copy you've been using (because you keep the original in a safe place, right?) becomes damaged and you need to burn another copy.
Or find it in a bowl of chili.

A DoS via wget? The most inefficient way to DoS a site? Yeah, I don't think so. More like people trying to mirror it.
I will belive they were DoS'd only if and when I see the logs, not one nanosecond before.

Most onboard audio chipsets don't even support multiple audio streams in hardware. Onboard audio is not good.
Uhm, topless chick on Cake on a Lake.
I had always thought of the Kingons as more Japanese, Ferengi as capitalism run amok, Romulans as Russians and Vulcans as Brittish, heh.
No, that's what Fox news says about themselves, everyone knows they're right wing.
She reports for a communist paper dude, she's a communist.

Dude, we're talking about microsoft here, not The Church of Scientology. I can see how you could be confused though.

I would think your in a minority. I would be willing to bet a large segment of the internet population gets regular email from AOL users.
The internet is more than just the US, thank you.

Why would it affect fark? They just link to em...
OMG F1R57 P057!
130mm isn't very thin, that's 13cm, so the whole thing is 261.5mm or just over 26cm which is roughly 10.24 inches thick, that's not "very thin".
You're wrong, the physical network has nothing to do with the logical network and never has.

Could have been better, had potential, blew it.
Prove me wrong or you shut up first.
