Errr... the people I know who pirate the most work in a software games company. They have all games, often before retail time, and other major pieces software. All copied illegally.
Microsoft (may have) designed its Palladium system to stop guys like you. As it seems pretty heavily-engineered, do you think it'll be effective to stop piracy ? Or will it just annoy legal users, as all previous protection schemes ?
33 will be long, really. All that for copying software ? Do you think what you did was that bad ? I mean, is it really your fault if people don't buy software ?
There should be a shrink-wrap GPL agreement window for all GPL'ed software and distros out there. That would make it more binding (for the yet-to-happen court case test).
Reminds me of something ...

Wasn't there a software monopoly who encouraged (after a judge told them to do so) some selected state officers to examine the source code of its operating system, despite the fact that the majority of viewers had no idea what the code means ?
The problem is that old encrypted data doesn't "evolve" with the computing/crypto capacity.
Imagine some black hat just archived all encrypted data he could get (bank transactions, private conversations, you name it) then decrypts them in 10 years when he can buy his brand new quantum computer. All this old data may prove very valuable for him.
Perhaps very sensitive data shouldn't even transit on the net because you can't tell if it'll be decryptable in the future.

No way !
These days, vegetables are like software: the mainstream ones are proprietary, owned by big firms (Monsanto, etc.) and you don't have the right nor the possibility to grow them. Yes, they are patented, copyrighted etc. Yes, there are anti-piracy measures inside to prevent them to be "pirated" (i.e. naturally reproduced).
Nope. I mean something where you couldn't even tell I sent some mail. I imagine ISP will (are?) collect only mail headers, perhaps some hash value or another mean to recognize the original from a fake.
Now that the various governments have decided to monitor the email you sent and receive, just encrypting isn't enough.
What we need is a way to be able to send mail to anyone without you ISP/whatever to be able to notice. And no, just running an SMTP on your linux box isn't enough.
The lowest license fee is $2.50 for a full encoder/decoder. As they say: "This patent-only license is needed in case the mp3 software is developed in-house or licensed from a third party.".
Does this mean someone who writes a totally reverse-engineered MP3 codec still has to pay the fee ? I know some guys made such codecs, but the webpage seems to imply that anyone encoding/decoding MP3 has to pay the fee. Seems weird to me.
Maybe her computer is Ok after all (at least, no more broken that usually). Maybe she just doesn't see you often enough and just found this cool pretext to phone you regularly and hear your voice. You asocial geek, turn off your computer and go visit your relatives, somtimes.

Do you realize that in nowadays' political atmosphere, the Rebels would be seen as terrorists and the evil Empire would look more like ... well.
Nowadays we would call them terrorists.

But it is patentable, sure.

In fact, these copy-protection systems were so abusive of our poor disk-drive heads that you better had to run a cracked version than the original.

Time to make a non-american version of RedHat with mp3 players ? Or to switch to Mandrake, which shouldn't have to honor these fees ...
Read this as "We haven't figured out how to appear lower priced than Linux"
Except that older persons actually can't do without them ..

I'd like to know how many of them have been sold with Windows ? And what was the progression of this percentage through the years ?
dual 13.3" screen and only 1024x768 ? I prefer my old Armada.
I see only males on the group photos ... is the penguin machist or what ?
Check out the facts ! The 2600 case showed the US right to free speech doesn't work against corps.
Forget the SD slot if you want to use Linux. The SD specs are under NDA, even the Zaurus uses a proprietary driver to access the port.
10Gb speeds should be enough for anybody, so start building the infrastructure now and leave the telcos in the dust.

I already heard that before
