this isn't nearly as revolutionary as the article spins it as..Net will continue to gain ground solely because of microsoft's promotional dollars, regardless of its merits as a language.
Of course. This is the ideal distribution model for maximum public benefit. It enforces low price, high volume. The end result is that users pay the same amount of money, producers get the same amount of money, but the users get more software. Public benefit has been served at no detriment to the producers.
Privacy doesn't mean freedom to break the law.
If you pirate movies the MPAA is not violating your rights by making your ISP hand over your IP address.
The real issue is that IP laws haven't quite caught up with the idea of zero reproduction cost. In soviet russia, if all the bread was split equally between all the poor, then everyone had a very small amount of bread. However, if all the software were distributed socialistically, everyone would have a fully functional copy of every piece of software they could ever want. Big difference.
You don't need laws for that, you can just sue them. You can sue anyone for any reason.
There are already plenty of ways ISP could nail a company for paying offshore spammers. One is that they are directly complicit in abusing their network against the policies of the ISP. That's good enough to at least get a restraining order, and then nail them for big $$$ if they do it again.
what the hell? Name a Compact flash based storage device that ISN'T solid state!

Some products have insanely high profit margins if you don't know where to shop around. For example your local WorstBuy routinely charges twice as much for generic ram as what it would cost to get better ram from a reputable website.

Although if you want it shipped from a very well-known and reputable website, it's $179 from Newegg.com, shipped fedex express saver.

wrong, a 2gb compact flash card is down to $155 shipped, so 4gb is worth $300 not $1100.
I'm actually suprised that apple has decent prices for the first time since the original iMac.
It won't stop anyone from using the old mp3 format, much less from distributing old mp3s.
And then any music that can be played can be ripped to standard mp3 with simple tools.
This will have absolutely ZERO effect on piracy.

Joe User uses windows. To get Joe User to use Linux you would have to make an installer that doesn't require a HOWTO.
No, but here's what God has to say about slackware, you Debian-hating infidel: thus spake GOD to the Debian Infidels

if a transaction is illegal, how can only one party to it be at fault? If it's illegal to be a hoe, shouldn't it be illegal to buy a hoe too?

It will never work until program encapsulation is implemented in the ISA. These silly software switches will be easily circumvented.
Sorry your little goatse redirect link doesn't work because goatse.cx has been offline for 4 MONTHS you idiot.
That was the most pathetic troll i've seen in a while. In fact, CNET posted an article about how dumb you are here.
Suck it down, GNAA! Second Post!
Not really. Any rip of a movie is going to be lower quality than the original. Especially if it's a cam of a new movie, that is utter shit quality.
You don't need laws for that, you can just sue them. You can sue anyone for any reason. There are already plenty of ways ISP could nail a company for paying offshore spammers.

He's one of those trolls from the Korean branch of GNAA. His grammar sounds a lot like the virus emails I've gotten lately.
Thank you, that troll was truly well-crafted and inspiring.
it's called a poser-post. Lots of trolls claim to be someone with insider knowledge of just about every article.
is the mini ipod even solid state?
what the hell? Name a Compact flash based storage device that ISN'T solid state!
