You mean like how Mozilla corp would benefit from better OpenGL drivers, you mean? Google, too, probably, and Opera ?
The problem is, however, that those companies profit from better OpenGL support in general and can't be expected to work on drivers for individual cards - even though some help with just the top ten cards would be majorly good.
No, the problem is that the company that benefits most from good drivers for a particular card, is that card's manufacturer. Now if only they could be bothered to give a damn.
> The apostrophe is never used to form a plural. Not ever. No, not even then.
Actually, it can. Just not in english:-) In my native dutch, apostrophe-s is a plural, while attached s is a possessive. OP has still made a mistake, but he might be a non-native speaker.
And, yes, we get the same shit here because of english contamination:-)
Then you'll still have illegaly entered my house, and probably violated quite a number of patents from the TV manufacturer's. I'll be none the poorer, true, but I'll still sue you for invasion of my privacy if I know you did it. You have no business seeing how I tie up my porn midgets before I leave the house.
That is off-topic, however, your original question was "Is having a copy of a key circumvention of copy protection".
Seen as my front door was protecting my TV from being copied by you, your posession of a copy of the key is a circumvention, yes.
As a small sidenote, sex is also perfectly possible with only one gender present, it's only procreation that's going to be a bit of a challenge.
Also, how long have people been on the ISS ? It seems a bit, well, naieve to think the 100-mile high club hasn't been founded by now. Well, 220 mile, really, but, you know.
The iPone plays in his little fantasy in that Android has been out-selling them since quite some time, and has recently also surpassed them in total number of units in service.
Said 20$ per 20 or so musics is not going to go off the price of said musics, though - it's just going to add a bit of extra lining to some already fat pockets.
While having a copy of a key in and of itself isn't illegal in any way, how you obtained that copy may be (did you steal the original from my pocket ?); and so is what you with it.
Even if you *gave* me a copy of your house key, I'm quite sure you'll sue me to bits if I nick your TV.
While what you say is perfectly accurate, of course (in the US, at least, may vary in other places) what it pretty much amounts to is thought police: your acts' legality depends on what you were thinking when you performed them.
Bah, this keeps popping up. While they have removed software emulation from newer models, those models' boxes also did not advertise emulation capability. To the best of my knowledge they have not removed software emulation from models that had it when bought, nor somehow disabled the use of the PS2 hardware in the first generation.
I've no problem with burning Sony at the stake - preferably with wet wood - but do it for what they've done, no need to discredit our side by inventing stories.
I agree, and yet, I don't. I can hardly imagine anyone sitting in a boardroom, cackling madly over his plans for subjugating the plebs. Well, outside of a few Larry and Steves.
No, corporate is "the enemy" alright, but not "the people who man the boardroom" per se. The problem lies in the management by committee that happens both there and on the legal, marketing and probably some other floors; in the shape of commonly deciding what is the optimal course for more profit, one step into the unthinkable at a time, while at the same time drowning the occasional voice of reason that would crop up in a din of newspeak argumentation. Not one person would stand for it, but the consolidated effect of all the small steps is a lemming's march into the abyss.
Think about it. Not two decades ago, no business would have thought of even asking their customers for something as anonymous as a postal code if they didn't need it for shipping. These days people turn over pretty much every aspect of their private lives to the likes of Zuckerberg simply because there's a shiny thing on screen that asks them to, so they can plant another patch of virtual salad, and companies believe it is their god-given right to harvest that data both directly, through subterfuge and through analysis of data already in their posession. Hell, some companies even believe they still own the full rights on physical products they sold you fair and square.
I'll one-up you: friends of mine HAVE found two plants in a corner of their garden, this year. A corner right next to the neighbour's bird cage, so presumably it was Cannabis Indica, not Sativa (the recreational one); but you are quite right: it does simply grow, no particular care needed.
The advantage to providing the platform and letting other people bother about the hardware, is that it is exactly the same strategy that made the PC market boom: MS provided DOS, and later Windows, an ubiquitous OS that ran on most cheap-enough-for-the-home hardware you could find; and in return everyone and their dog started throwing together cheap-enough-for-the-home hardware to run the OS.
It's a shame that it's unlikely to play out in the same way, though - imagine having the ability to rig up your own phone from off-the-shelf components to do exactly what you want. I don't want no damn GPS in my phone, I'll just put in some more storage instead.
I'm not an expert, being a Nokia user, but could GP possibly mean "for local searches" ? As in, searches across your adress book, messages, files and whatnot ?
While I'm convinced that there is such a thing as American cheese, I understood that the generic term "american cheese" tends to refer to those cheese-colored slices of plastic Kraft et al provide. Am I wrong ?
In that case, I propose we excise the whole slavery and racism thing from history. That way there's no more need to remove words like nigger from books.

Why oh why did I just spend my last modpoint on a funny post about salty bacteria ?
I'm sorry, dude, I know how porn works, but I for one don't pull out. It's gonna be in you, regardless of the opening I'm currently using.
Also, condoms. Saves lots of cleanup.

So all I need to do is convince a judge that you intend to kill me to get you locked up ? Wonderful.
Call me when you found a 100% accurate way to figure out what any given person was thinking at any given time in the past.

It's no so much the times, as the amount of lawyers that's changed.

If I remember to, I'll check tonight, though.
> Sony could actually hurt their own case by allowing a judge to rule against them.
This is Sony we're talking about. Notice the similarity in name to Sony, the record label, part of the MAFIAA.
The mere idea that a judge could possibly rule against them is not allowed to enter their thick skulls, for fear that they would explode.
Depends on what is leaked, I suppose. At the frequency I was masturbating at that age, I'm amazed I never drew blood.

While hey may be right - hell, I HOPE he's right - a major difference is that AOL was ubiquitous in America, while FB is ubiquitous on the internet.

How ? Not trolling, I really don't know this. The only thing I ever hear about Israel is the Gaza issue.

Precognition is ESP, but ESP is not neccesarily precognition - they were being unnecesarily imprecise.
Well, my first thought was "they should've seen that coming".
