RE: why do I have to pay full price to get a replacement CD/DVD, my content license has already been paid.
'cause they can. They paid for a law to protect profits from their outdated business model. Unless you can find a congress critter who doesn't take bribes, we are stuck with laws that kill progress and the public domain.
I confirm this, however, it's hit and miss. Either way, Experts-Exchange should not get listed if they hide the answers from the public but not the Google bot.
Corps will see the inside of a court room only if your name is the title of a song and the personal info gets posted! (MediaSentry will "Find it")
Currently in the US, Corps have more rights than you or I even though they are considered "A Person". Corps that inadvertently/intentionally kill people at most must pay a fine. If you or I do this, we don't even get the option to pay our way out.
"this sounds like they're re-inventing the radio license fee, but without having to provide extra programming paid for by that fee"
Which sound like net neutrality for music. IOW: They want you to pay at both ends but here they want you to pay over and over.
-You pay to buy the CD or DL for music that you like. -You pay your ISP for the music that you may (not) like. -You pay ??? the Blank CD tax for the music that you may (not) like.
In Canada we have that Blank CD tax. Millions of $ have been collected. NOBODY, artist-wise, has gotten a penny. Even Avril Lavigne hasn't gotten her check yet.
Even if this Music Tax, collected via ISPs, was enacted, Artists would still get $0.
It would eventually turn anybody signed by a record label to be on music-tax-welfare! Imagine the quality music coming out then. It's bad enough as it is!
I don't know about Rogers' webmail (it's outsourced to Yahoo) but their DNS servers are still vulnerable to the DNS security issue that was plastered in the news a few weeks ago.
The sun is sending lots of energy (E) to the earth. where does all that energy go? radiated heat, sure. Maybe, just maybe, some of it is converted to Mass.
However, like the "expanding earth" theory people, I have no real proof this energy to mass conversion exists.
I usually hate following the Olympic because it's such a bore. This year, all the stuff "around" the competition is WAY more interesting: -How many people will be arrested for silly things? -Will the athletes choke on the smog? -Will anything be allowed to be broadcasted out of China? -How many Chinese will try to defect? -And of course: The badly translated sign of the day.
I don't think leaders of China will be able to stand have a spot light on them for the full 2 weeks. Imagine the fallout from regular Chinese people getting unfiltered news from the mouths of so many non-controlled people!
That's only good if people leave the machines on all the time. I turn off my 2 PCs every night. and twice a week, SAV owns them for the better part of the morning.

Either you do or it's advertisement fraud
"Own it Today" the TV ads say.
I wish I had mod point for you.
Chances are that internal policies prevent the use of "hacker" tools to secure the network.
Again, the PHBs are idiots!

Until this changes corps can do what they want.
Where are my mod points when I need them!
It cost $ to fake news on Fox.
This is where it could come from.

-you pay for the MP3 version because you go to jail for ripping CDs (Coming soon to Canada)
-You pay for replacing the MP3 versions when they seize your MP3 player while crossing the border (Coming soon via ACTA)

Nice to see that the price for ISO members was high enough to prevent appeals from going through.

Act now before the prices go up.

Customers had to choose their OS.
Windows or Windows is not a choice.
Windows or Nothing would be a start.
The only way the maker of PCMark can EVER get their credibility back is if their future releases are open source.

If Scrabble IS public domain, The Scrabulous people should sue Hasbro for copyright infringement for creating a similar online game.
With all these electric cars, when will they put in something really useful instead of this flaky electronic shit, especially from MS?
They should televise it, too!

I agree with you but now I'll have to find a new sig! Damn!
Apparently, US Telcos can snoop all they want and it's perfectly legal, now!
