Bah! 640x480 is just a marketing ploy by the CGA card industry to plug the analog hole of 80 column monochrome monitors, and overall extract more money from consumers...
Because I personally think speeders should be locked up for life, I do not give a shit if this person goes to jail.
Fine, but if he goes to jail it should be for reckless driving, not for some trumped up charge that could set a nasty legal precedent that has serious ramifications for everyone.
In fact I run Linux, and all software I run is free, under various licenses that allow me to make as many copies as I want.
Key word: licenses. A license that allows copying is still as much a distribution license under copyright law as a license that unconditionally prevents copying, the law is simply being applied with a different intent. See Copyleft
For example, the GPL permits copying, but imposes conditions on derivative works. If there was no copyright on the original work it would not be possible to impose any conditions on derivative works.
I suggest to you, that as a Linux user, it would be wrong to assume it IS copyrighted.
Then your suggestion would be based on a fundamental misnderstanding (see third paragraph), and could lead to prosecution under the wrong circumstances.

No, I own it. You just pay the electricity bill.
Fail, that picture is now seriously outclassed by the articles.

pwned.
Yes, and they've threatened to attack other dates at random until we change our calendar.
Could we lie about the asteroid and shoot them into space now?
Severe goatse trauma, I imagine.
Better use them now before they go out of style, then.
Not really: Woomera was a missile test range, and the dingoes have taken over the old SAM emplacements.
I can't be the only one who thought of this scenario.. Does anyone else think the same as me?
Yes.
Thanks for that.
Works for Eskimos...
The snails are busy. How else do you think everything ends up here a week late?
It slows down enough for you to see the individual colours.
What is the election cycle like there?
It's a unicycle: ridden by clowns.
If I was Googling BASE jumping, yes.

So you mean they chose MBA students to test the applicability of a device for students' use?
They would have tried special ed kids, but they didn't want all the user reports written in crayon.
...but almost never before.
That's silly, a tiger doesn't have long enough digits to use a shotgun. Oh, I see what you mean...
True, but I have a funny feeling you might agree with PETA's stance on hunting tigers :P
So it's really just a way of keeping the attendees entertained? See, IBM really does care...
I don't know about you, but the more "sticky" a web site is the less inclined I am to give them my email address...
