As much as i hate games, and hate to admit it, until you can go down the street to your local big box store, buy a game and it 'just work', its not ready for "the masses". "the masses" want to surf porn, buy stuff from ebay and play their stilly computer games.
For actual useful work, in a company with an IT staff, Linux and BSD have been ready for a while now.
How about we just use this huge processing network to emulate actual neurons and link them together as close to a brain as we can. Then we can see what happens..
i know it takes billions of neurons to do anything, but with all this extra power laying around we might just have enough to do it.
Sooo it looks like they are actually now afraid of being legislated/regulated out of existence, or just broken up like they should be.
Not that anything they say will be binding or actually happen, but its nice to see customer outrage is having an effect after all. I figured they were beyond that stage already.
If the prices are about the same as the corner store where you can actually go see what you are buying, you can say good bye to many on-line retailers. ( used sellers will survive, but not retail )
And with no proof of receipt i know id ignore it, and assume its spam. ( if it even got thru my filters ). No registered letter or delivery by sheriff, no show by me.
That court was ignorant if they actually allowed email to be considered.
I would even go so far as to say you WANT expense and casualties. We don't want war to be come so sterile that it becomes minor to implement.
And i tend to disagree with people that say 1000 is a bloodbath. More people die in a month from car accidents then we have lost in the ENTIRE operation. Anyone remember WWII? 1000 is a drop in the bucket.

Then dont put your site public facing.
For many, i agree that their pc will be replaced by a console of some sort in the near future.

Wimps. Index it all, who cares if the site doesn't want it. If its public facing it deserves to be indexed.
Then its the end of the 'commercial' internet.

Of course its enforceable, and trackable.
At least unless its struck down by a district court ( or supreme ). And have you ever heard of a tax law being struck down? I haven't.

"the difference engine" was a hit?
Am i the only one that thought the book sucked and not worthy of either author?
If you fall for that you deserve to get taken.
You are using logic.
Most people that see this wont, and it will slowly make OSS a bad word in the public.
It should be 'propaganda'.
Seems if they cant fight logic, they will just program the next generation.
Lets hope it all backfires, just like when they went after napster. If that had never happened, 90% of the world would still not know about it.
Not legally you wont.
Fire their ass. Not coddle them.
Im sorry but if you want to run a tight ship you can not allow such nonsence.
There are business reasons we don't go off and do our own thing, no matter how harmless it may seem at the time.
Yep, they will really miss the 3 customers that this runs off.
Thats nice in a perfect world, but most of us are stuck behind monopolies with no real choice.
They really don't care.
Wouldn't this be enough of an admission for the FCC to actually act now?
Either you are an American or you aren't. If you aren't, then go back where you came from.
No 'qualifiers' allowed.
And in a country like that, they can do what about it?
Hypocrites.
"Information must be free!" ( but only to my friends that in effect pay for it by being required to do something in return )
5000 is still a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things.
The Iraqis don't count.
If you dont document it.
