Then you'll see a S#!T load of grumpy people rise from their couches. Old and young viewers will protest.
FYI: My 65+ father in-law has no opinion on anything but you should see him swear and bitch when his TV is threated by the cable/satelite companies.
1- Remember that Hollywood is supposedly afraid of Microsoft
2- Royalties jack up the price of things
3- There is still plenty of time for bickering and delay to kill this a-la-Digital-Audio-Tape.
This is the real Hippocratic issue:
If you "own it", as the adds say, then you can do what you please. Backup, copy, mix, etc. (minus making $ from copies)
If you actually "license it", then saying "Own it today" is false advertising. AND you should still be able to get replacement media.
The RIAA/MPAA/CRIA all want the same thing: The advantages from both and no disadvantages from either. Also, they want this to work on hardware that you paid for. This is just plain Greed and hypocrisy
Hint: The FCC Code tends to be etched on the PCB and not on a component.
By Law, All devices that transmit electronic signals (or interference) must have a FCC code.
Something like that except imagine it for EVERY single application that Joe-six-pack launches he gets:
You have been in an administrator account for more than 30 minutes. This account is for system maintenance only. Please use a User account for for day-in day-out use.
To make it even more anoying, add a long delay for the OK button to show if the user been in there for more than a day!
The context menu doesn't show "paste as unformatted text", however, what's really needed is something like this:
Shift+Ctrl+V = "paste as unformatted text"
M$ should make the Admin account anoying to use

The only way to make joe user NOT want to use an Administrator account is to make it anoying to use.
IE:
-Display a NAG window everytime the user launches an application. (Maybe only if the user spends more than 30 minutes in the account)
Maybe even make it easy to do some admin tasks easily as a Limited user by prompting for the administrator pw when required like Linux distros do today.
WP has a right-click feature called "Paste without Fonts/attribute". You right click anywhere in the document and you an paste cleanly.
I wish OpenOffice.org would consider such a feature since that is what I use at home.
Translation for the FUD-impared:
"It saddens us to see that yet more tools of a Fair Use are allowed to be released to the public. We (the RIAA) should be the only ones allowed to steal the food from artists' tables."
That is incorrect. Nursing is not a remote control industry. In the 1980s the Nursing industry was flooded with cheap foreigners.
That's my point. The computer work CAN BE a remote control industry. Even if we had a union, the PHBs would just circumvent it using India and the Internet.
The flip-side is that much of our work can be done via remote control and you do not need physical presence to perform the task. If Tele-sugery and Tele-Dentistry existed, those unions and associations would be useless, even if it's against the law.
If we techs ALL didn't show up for work one day, the PHBs would just call head-hunters in India...
Interviewer to Candidate:... You should also be aware that one of the conditions of your employment is for you to take a Work2Death pill daily and sign this waiver to absolve SlaveTech from any responsibility for issues resulting from you taking Work2Death pills. Oh and BTW, You are responsible to purchasing the Work2Death pills.
Finally something that makes sense. This is the best argument against Software Patents that I have seen. Now, will someone forward it to the FSF (gnu.org)?
The Stone Masson Association of America will not stand for such a thing.
They will soon lobby for a DMCA-like legislation to outlaw progress like this.
While this is true, I read a book the other day where the author describes how to extract your RRSP (that's Canada's 401k but not tied to your job) by moving to another country (and becoming a full "resident") later in your life and transfering your retirement with only a %15 tax hit. The book then goes on to describ how to setup a corporation in the Camen island and have it "help" you out...
NOTE: Our Prime Minister owns a shipping company that has all of its ships chartered under the Flag in the Camen island to avoid paying corp taxed! If it's good enough for him, everybody should do this!
In Ottawa, we have this place known as Computer Recyclers. They only take computer parts though. No fax or cell phones. They sell the stuff for scrap metal but you wouldn't know it from there site.
Let's says a Cracker uses an IE exploit to change the Hosts file to override the DNS lookup for Mozilla.org? This could be used to fool the WhiteList.
Not likely, you say? The Cracker create a IE-Only accessible pr0n site to have Joe-user to launch IE just to see a nudy-pic. Then he creates a MOZ-only page to force Joe-user to switch again to MOZ to DL the XPI Cracker-ware.
It might not be done as obvious as this but the possibility is there.

The "Leave as FIXED" doesn't help though

Slashdotters should at least VOTE for the Bug.

It's open source and everything

You have a point there.
Too bad Nasa can't create a new module for the ISS to connect to Hubble to. Politicians just don't have enough imagination or will power...
Couldn't they just send a bunch of missiles to break the wave before it hits?
Can one patent a way of solving a mathematical equation? Or any other operation in mathematics?
Yes, it's called a Software Patent
Patents are gonna have to get worse before it gets better.
They lost me as a reader too.
Finally something that makes sense.
This is the best argument against Software Patents that I have seen.
Now, will someone forward it to the FSF (gnu.org)?
You forgot the real alternative choice. And it works in Mozilla 1.7.1 for windows.

I've seen these from another company.
You must program each individual joint one by one, trial and erre style.
No feedback, no sensors, no remote control!
