"...program that sniffs out movie and music files on a user's computer as well as any installed file sharing programs..."
This program must have access to a master list of movie names for comparison to your filenames that is either installed locally or accessible online. Couldn't an enterprising individual just "back into" those reference names and rename his files to something that then won't trigger a flag?
Dell's Inspiron laptops come with somewhat beefy graphics chips with their own dedicated RAM. In fact, the graphics chips/VRAM are on their own daughterboard card which is upgradeable.
Monopolistic - no, plenty of competition (consoles & PCs)
Against free software - making a business decision to sell software (because you're a business) does not mean a company (which is essentially "legal software on paper" itself) is against free software.
BeOS was UNIX-ish. It was working towards POSIX compliance IIRC and has a Bash shell and Unix-like file permissions system set up. It had the ability to become multi-user if it was developed further.
A constiutional republic will work just fine as long as the citizens have some balls to use their rights. Unfortunately, I think in the US we've been wading in cold water for the last 40 years.
If you think that's bad, check this out...when I was in college I was writing a program called Napster. I must have fallen asleep or something, because my roommate, Shawn Fanning, swiped my only copy of the code which was on a floppy disk sticking out of my PC!
Boy do I hear that! You don't know how much of a godsend Season Pass is until you use Comcast's POS DVR...oh and they charge you $10 a month to use it, so TiVo is very competitive in terms of pricing. I'm saving my pennies for a new TiVo (currently have a Series 2) that offers:
CableCard to eliminate the need for a Comcast box HDTV Built-in DVD Burner
My dog is deathly scared of the vacuum cleaner, even if it is turned off. Ironically, he *loves* to run around the lawn mower when it's running. It was probably a bad idea to name him Darwin.*
* His name isn't really Darwin, but it will help with teh "Funny" modpoints:)
I think the Creative player's battery is "removable" in the sense that you just pop a little cover open and the battery comes out. The iPod battery is "removable" in the same sense that my internal organs are "removable."
This is made to compete with the iPod Mini, which only has 4Gb of storage space...so it's actually larger in terms of storage space. Both products cost $250 and come in similar sizes.
You know, I waited 28 years for Lucas to finish all 6 episodes so I could watch them in order and here you come blabbing about the surprise ending! Damn you to hell!!!!

I would like to add a follow-up question, if I may. How does such a pale-skinned man like Mr. Caruso *not* get burned to a crisp in Miami?

That reminds me of an old Microsoft joke:
They'll stop making things that suck when they begin making vacuum cleaners!

Courts usually see through that kind of nonsense when a corporation isn't organized for a bona fide business purpose.
The grandparent post was referring to the reason for business method patents, not patents for real things.
Hey, I'll pay ya $5 for your Rhapsody disk! Gmail account is Valuation.

No one is saying that copyright violation isn't wrong...the point is that it is just that, "copyright violation/infringement," and not "theft."

Don't you first have to be an attorney to be an Attorney General?
And I wager they'll get fixed a lot faster.

For 20 Pounds however, it's what I'd expect to get.
I have an earlier model. The biggest change is that instead of shooting discs, it howls and then poops on the carpet.
Not since Ted Turner divorced Hanoi Jane, IIRC.

I Googled for some screenshots...think Japanese dating sim (Google if you don't know what that is) meets iPod commercial.
