You've got to be kidding. No one with a lot of money simply sits on their money and doesn't have it invested in some way/shape/form. Those with the most money pay a MAJORITY of the taxes in the U.S. To insinuate that people with a lot of money simply sit on their resources and don't earn more and therefore don't pay taxes just isn't true.
This has nothing to do with government corruption.
It's an issue of the squeaky wheel gets the grease. If a group made more noise about keeping the information free and available than the group wanting it taken down, then it would stay available.
Exactly true. POPfile isn't just about filtering spam. It's about sorting email. Slightly different. One could think of the nuance this way - out of all the email you get you could teach POPfile to filter out the GOOD email and delete everything else. I've found POPfile extremely useful for bringing order to the clutter of my inbox. I have buckets for spam, fantasyfootball, personal, and several work related subject matters. I just pull up the web interface, classify the messages properly and POPfile works it's magic.
If they price the DVDs competitively, people will buy the DVD. If they put a high price on the DVD, no one will buy them and people will try and make copies.
I'd switch from my win2k machine to an Apple if they were priced competitively. Apple seems to produce some awesome products, but the mark-up is even more than Microsoft.
They announced this on the radio during the stock market news on my drive in this morning. The guy doing the reporting said: "Sun goes through executives faster than french pastries at a Weighwatcher's convention."

I agree entirely.
So let's get this straight: The RIAA wants us to think they can write a worm like the one mentioned, but can't secure their own webservers?

Hoover vacuums suck.

You've obviously never driven a BMW Z3 (or any other car with good power/weight ratio) on something other than busy city streets.
Why else do they want big engines with lots of power? Freedom. Choice. Not unlike the open software movement.

France in particular has a mandatory 35-hour week.
That explains quite a bit.

Doh!
the average slashdot user would be screaming bloody murder about how evil and money hungry they were.
Where's the outrage?
