It is the greed that never ends... It just goes on and on my friends... One day the recording industry started doing it... and now they'll forever continue doing it because...
Ahh, but thats the sexy thing. Being that they're using a unix based system its fairly trivial to port between the hardware systems, and if they've known about it for a while and been working on it becomes a matter of just merging the code in. More so than apple moving to a x86 arch, i'd expect that OSx will be made to support x86 arch. Shrug we'll see shortly neh?
... how about donating to popular projects which accept donations on sourceforge? Donate some to apache, gaim, azureus, the linux kernel... slews of place could use it. Pay a well renouned open source programmer or two for a year to do nothing but work on a specific project... donate it to the fsf or eff to help protect opensource. Donate to google for next years opensource scholarship program so open source gets more quality projects and programmers in the long run... there are slews of good ideas, pick one and roll with it, don't let it rot in an account! Make an opensource programming contest, top project as voted by slashdot community gets 30,000... next gets 15,000... next gets 7,500. Run it every six months till the cash runs out, maybe see if other people are willing to donate money back into the project to fund it on a perpetual basis! Slews of possibilites!
Do you *know* and how do you *know* that they wouldn't buy it if it was reasonably priced?
Most of the people who pirate that i know only do so because they want ONE song off the cd and aren't willing to pay 15$ for it... or $19... oh and then theres the cds that cost 21.95$
More and more people are unwilling to go buy a cd in the store. There's a reason most new cd players support mp3 cds... and its not becuase most people are buying cds in stores.
Personally, I've sent checks to artists, i've bought shareware (zmud, pkzip 204g, alcohol 120%, cd-r win, winrar, mirc, debian linux, redhat linux, etc) and I've even donated to a few projects on sourceforge, etc... but I have a real problem with the prices of some software and cd/dvds. Especially if i'm not sure they're *worth* paying for. I gladly play for things I feel are worth using or that I wish to support.
... what I've been saying for years, everytime a new generation of consoles come out.
No. When they hit the market they'll be slightly superior to or on par with the current extremely high end pc. After a year they'll be about equal to a midrange pc. Long before the next generation comes out they will be totally obsolete comparative to current pc technology.
Until they put consoles in a 2-3 year upgrade cycle (which will really piss people off) the console will never be able to keep up with or kill off pc gaming.
If you're steve jackson by chance... and your 3 movies cost $300 million to make total... and you made $2.91 billion dollars in just movie sales... not to mention dvd sales (Which aren't a number the movie industry discloses... curiously enough)... do I think it's greedy to charge 24.95/dvd?

If more and more people are pirating music instead of paying for it and cd prices remain at $15/ea... is the market willing to bear it? No.
I'd pay pretty well for regular episodes of foreign countries television. It's a good way to improve your speaking and translating abilities if you don't have the money to get there.
... a nec/mitsubishi 2070sb-bk, and honestly can't find anything that compares to it at all. It really is a superior monitor compared to any and all lcds.
For gaming, graphics design, etc... lcd's just can't compare to high end crts. When they can I'll gladly upgrade, I enjoy working on them for text applications and webbrowsing... refresh is to slow for gaming (even on the best ones at about 8-10ms) and for graphics work, unless you've sat them side by side with a crt, you really have no authority to compare. lcds arent in the same world, yet.

Three Editors for the macintosh-kings under a great g u i,
;)
Seven for the Unix-lords in their interface of lines,
Nine for the Windowed Men doomed to a bad g u i,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne,
In the Land of Mordor where everything is vi.
One Editor to rule them all, One Editor to find them,
One Editor to bring them all and in the darkness bind them,
In the Land of Mordor where everything is vi.
is my final answer
Only if you move to Canada.
You are wise and your kung-fu is good.
Thats it pretty much, need to replace the mouse... it sorta sucks. It's nice to aim with in FPS though.
Your emacs style is good... however my vim style is better.
Real men use sed for their editing needs. Cat displays, echo creates, sed edits. Your unix is weak mortal.

Cuz I saw more in 2-3 days than I normally see in a week?
... my thousand a day or so was bad.
I can't even imagine getting that much, i'm already spamfiltering on at least 3 levels (bay server, bay client, manual client).
Spammers should die. If i had to pay for line charges, id just kill my accounts.
maybe... but linux is as big a threat to mac os.
Its the proverbial, who eats who... someones gonna get chowed on...
I'd have to agree with the other people... part of the qualifications of being a politician is being buyable.
> This is fucking obvious. Why don't people see it?
They *DO* see it, however they don't have billions of dollars to lobby with.

It is the greed that never ends...
It just goes on and on my friends...
One day the recording industry started doing it...
and now they'll forever continue doing it because...
whoops... now im gonna get sued.

... seems to be an unusual ammount of them lately. Wonder what's going on?
bounty for desired features is a good idea.
"10k for winner"
"5k for runner up"
place 8 projects using that format. have slashdot or sourceforge or where ever vote on the favorite.

The answer is: No, real innovation ended in videogames around the time doom2 hit the scene.
