How is this seemingly unreconcilable contradiction of the control of copying and the demand to make others copy explained by you?
I think you fail to understand what constitutes sacraments in a religion. The act of greeting someone is not a holy sacrament in kopimism, nor in any other religion that I'm aware of. Sacraments are well defined ritualistic acts that hold a significant meaning and are at the core of a religion. Like for example baptism, communion, confession and marriage in catholicism.
The holiest act of kopimism is the sacrament of copying and spreading information.
Then there is the kopimist sacrament of the confession, which entails, indeed obligates, the holy secrecy of the confession
How is this seemingly unreconcilable contradiction between two of the holiest of their sacraments explained by kopimists?
Kind of curious, would you be willing to post a link to some of your music?
Sorry about the late reply - not used to getting any feedback or even mod points in here...:/ The band's name was Tumbleweed Trail and it existed during the latter part of the nineties. I put up a couple of our tunes for posterity in a playlist on Soundcloud, you're very welcome to have a listen!
Aww - those were the days! Mp3.com actually PAID indie artists to have their stuff on the site. Sent me cheques all the way to Sweden. The fees for cashing them in were greater than their value though... But at least we were PAID. Mr Robertson is for real and I wish him good luck in his future endeavors.
(I eventually brought our expired cheques with me on a trip to California, and the staff at mp3.com HQ happily exchanged them for a fresh one that I was able to cash in.)
Not having the user be aware that filtering is taking place is not filtering in my world. That's information dichotomy and censorship. Preference filtering should be implemented by means of sorting algorithms and highlighting or the like. Secretly suppressing information "for your own best interest" is subversive and counteracts democracy.
From TFA: "Computers able to perform at such high speeds can be used in a variety of ways, including scientific research, image manipulation, engineering modeling or for medical purposes."
Medical purposes? Really? OK, so I vote this is a better solution than a shot in the arm against the pig sniffles. Give them away for free, government sponsored!
At least where I'm at, users have not reached a maturity level to match whatever Web 2.0 has to offer. I'm not even admin on my own mail/internet machine, and that's fine with me, although I'm one of my company's leading software arhitechts.
I wonder what the speed of that little thing is. I noticed that the moon just about doubled in apparent size in the space of twenty minutes, according to the comments under the photos.
"Anyway, if radio stations can't avoid paying ASCAP and BMI then how successful would they be in fighting off the RIAA?"
Very. The radio stations already pay the immaterial rights holder for the use of their work. The RIAA holds the distribution rights solely, and also originally these rights were limited to the medium only. The plastic. Legal bandying seems over the years to have caused these rights to somewhat bleed into the content as well. That's mainly what sets RIAA apart from their sister organisations in different parts of the world. That's the wedge they're attempting to use here.
Well, actually not. That would be more like ASCAP or BMI billing the radio stations. Or licensing the use of commercial music, on the behalf of the composers. Um... wich they actually do. The Swedish equivalent to RIAA is something called GLF (The Swedish Recording Industry Association).

"Clearly, anybody who can resolve these problems has a bright future in science but may also end up tearing modern cosmology apart."
But what? Real scientists love it when their models blow apart.
So the accelerated expansion of the universe is fueled by Lithium. Thant's what I always figured. Shrunken minds => expanded space.

Its not "windows" it does not support the same APIs as windows. Its kernel is perhaps similar, but the userland is nothing like it.
"nothing like it" as in "Android is nothing like Slackware"?

"There is no two ways of looking at it...." :)
What's Bing?
It's the sound of a machine in a Monty Python movie, I believe.
Mr Robinson - please define the term "value".
"'front-end' of your hard disk"?
What does that even mean?

"It would be like me going out and punching random people in the face just because I can."
No - people don't do that. They do however throw rocks, eggs or rotten tomatoes at cars from the highway overpass. There's your analogy.
Sounds like a job for Dr David SandstrÃm of NORBAC.

Reality check: Your handle is "hobo sapiens", is it not?

Did anybody also notice the irony of the SunFire ad at the top?
I thought it made sense. AdSense.
Let's not forget. The peace prize is awarded by *norwegians*, not, like the rest of the categories, by swedes.

That's elaborate...
So what's the point in fixing up and editing your photos with regards to details that no human eye can ever appreciate?
