Why not just recast TOS? No need for old fogeys (with all due respect to the elderly gentlemen in question) to play the parts of Kirk and Spock. What the world needs now more than ever is a movie with a plentyful supply of attractive alien ladies in skimpy sixties fashions. A young James T. Kirk is just the man to give us such a movie.
How are you going to enforce collective ownership among humans? In "the real world" every communist state has been authoritarian. All collective ownership does is concentrate all the power in the hands of whoever is making the decisions. If Marx couldn't see that then he was a fool.
Not very many I would imagine. Most sites work with firefox, and pretending to be IE is usually just done on a site by site basis for the limited number of people who installed the extension anyway.
Software may be a tool, but it isn't a tool like any other. It's the embodiment of your business process to a greater or lesser degree depending on the business in question. If you don't control your software you don't control your business.
Y'know I've read the analysis of starwars vs dune, but really all the resemblances are just "well I guess you could say that" type of things. In reality, Dune the novel and movie are nothing like starwars at all.
Please explain why it is in any way unusual that people tend to prefer the music from the cultures that more closely resemble their own? (i.e. that of their neighbours)
I think you missed the point of the question. What if there are dozens of torrents for the "same" file (e.g. britney.mov) Can the different torrent swarms somehow know about each other or does each torrent divide the potential members of the swarm into non-communicating groups with lower bandwidth?
He's saying the time has never been better to start a business, keep your costs low and make better technology your advantage, and he's entirely encouraging with his style of presentation.
He's saying that, but he's the one that sold out during the tech bubble, not during the last year or something.
Why don't they just let people do what they are interested in, instead of trying to somehow trick or bribe people into doing what they are not interested in?

If I didn't know better, I'd believe it was written with Software patents in mind.

You just don't get it do you?
The UI doesn't suck, it's just not designed with handholding for unknowledgeable people in mind. There's a difference.

That would presumably be why he constantly refers to WinTel in his article, no?

What if you give him a copy and say "Here, this is great", (or as is more likely in the whole bittorrent thing, don't say anything at all)?
But all the atoms in your body are replaced in a little over a year anyway. What gives you any more legitimacy than a copy made 1 year ago?

No better than break even for Apple. Apple is just a retailer. You can bet that someone is making money from it.
What's wrong with pretty pictures of the universe for the people? (serious question)
The military doesn't pay for anything. They are spongers. You pay for everything.

You would be well within your rights to contact a locksmith. Does the same apply to software?
So C was broken by accident, whereas Pascal was broken by design?
If the OS crashes, it's a kernel fault :)
Yeah, everything except the FTL travel, and the getting far enough away from earth to meet sexy aliens is feasable.
