Don't you mean that when Napster was flying, the economy was good, and when it got shut down, the economy went down the drain? That's what I read into it.;-)
Not if they don't have authorization. Here, if the phone isn't billed in your name, you can't change any of the plans. Otherwise, they could phone up your four-year-old, tell her they'll give her a popsicle if she switches carriers, and slam you. Obviously, your AI phone machine can't commit to any financial plans without your approval. It's not that smart.
I can't remember the last time I went into a major bookstore that wasn't playing crappy music over the P.A. I don't know about you, but listening to Britney wail about her love life doesn't exactly make me want to buy books.
If you actually read the instructions and help, the Debian install is quite simple, and insanely flexible.
Nobody wants to read instructions. They want to slap a disc in, come back in twenty minutes, and log in.
Perhaps the Debian developers need to work on a "I'm a newbie and I need help with this type approach".
Absolutely. Don't get me wrong - I think there's lots of room for a variety of distros providing different solutions, but they're dreaming if they think they're going to convert a new Linux user with a tough installation. People will just give up. That's the beauty of Mandrake - the first hit is free. When you get them hooked, then they can fool around with Debian, Slack, and LFS.
Nah, you'd email Katz and he could phone the police.

Maybe he's from an alternate universe created by Universal - a monstrosity where you don't own the CDs you buy, and you can't make backup copies, so he came back in time, and ventured into our universe, but he's ALMOST TOO LATE, so he's building another time machine to go back even further, to a better day, like 1995, before copy-protection existed, but after the only CDs to copy were the New Kids on the Block and Milli Vanilli.

For most of his career, however, Mallett kept secret that his desire for time travel had drawn him to become a physicist. It wasn't until a few years ago, when he began researching a book on the topic, that he arrived at his idea of how to build a time machine.
Seems to me that's a great reason to become a physicist. Imagine what kind of creativity we could produce if the reply to something like that was "Cool! Here's some books to help you," rather than "You're crazy. That can't happen, so go do something else."
IE5 has the same problem. I don't know about 6, but it's annoying as hell. I don't want to use gifs, but since IE renders colours differently than the image, you can't even do the ol' coloured background hack.
Really what we want is to have any top-level domain you can think of. Having just.coms is stupid - it was fine at the time, but now that everybody and their dog has a site, it's like trying to find a new hotmail address - there's none left. I don't accept thisismynewwebpagenamebecausealltheothersaretaken. com as a valid solution.
I remember at the end of the NFL season, John Madden was going on and on about cankles. They'd zoom in on some guy's cankles, and he'd circle 'em. Pretty funny stuff.
According to a spokeswoman for Sony Music Entertainment, it is clearly stated on the front of the booklet and on the back of the jewel box that the CD "will not play on a PC or a Mac" in the language of the country in which it is sold. Besides those notices, which the spokeswoman said were readable before purchase, the disc itself bears the same warning.
It's a logo that's licensed from Philips, with the expectation that a disc with that logo conforms to standards. These don't. Ergo, they shouldn't have the logo.

Well, then you can sue them, and buy an even better AI to do all your work, and retire to your winter home on the coast of Spain!
Well then it's an even better name to use, since he's dead.

Does not move your cursor focus to a new window as it opens.
I'll tell you, that's the single biggest thing that's been pissing me off lately. Sounds like it's time for an upgrade...
Except buying books is legal (for now); copyright infringement ain't (yet). ;-)

This IBM you mention, this is the same IBM that got 3500 patents in 2001, bringing their total to over 34,000? That IBM?
Why have any restrictions at all? If somebody wants www.this-site.sucksass, why not give it to them?

Whereas if someone got their computer crashed due to the uber-virus, they wouldn't really have a recourse (They didn't own the files, after all).
What if they did? I've downloaded songs because it was faster than going into the other room and trying to find the CD it's on. Illegal?
Sure, it's illegial to copy, but apply the same protection to ALL of your artists.
I'm sure it's only a matter of time.
Why? Because of this:

Heck no! How could we spout flaming rhetoric if we knew that? Slashdot would collapse!
Sure. Use your right hand, and look in a mirror. Or find a friend to do it.
