Try to mix that implementation with the rest of the system. Let's say that your Flash implementation has press and move mean move the cursor. Now place that into a browser were press and move means move the content under the window. What happens if I click and drag inside the Flash section of the web page? How will I move the web page's content? Will I need to select multitouch events that are unique? Now add right-click. How useful will that interface be in the end?
Really what needs to happen is the courts need to say that is it legal to A) modify a legitimately purchased OS to run on whatever hardware B) Allow licenses to restrict what hardware you run things on only in number of quantity (for example, Apple could sell you one license for OS X to be installed on one machine, if you install it on 5 you are breaking it, but if you install it on one PC, it would still be legal. and C) allow for companies to sell machines with OS X on them so long as OS X was legitimately purchased by Apple and there is a license for that one machine.
So, if I acquire a piece of open source software, I should be able to use it however I want? That would mean that any company could ignore the GPL. Apple's OS X license (that you can only run it on Apple hardware) is just as valid as the GPL, even if you would like to ignore it.
Is Apple seriously arguing that installing a third party program and booting OS X results in copyright infringement due to making a derivative work and an unauthorized copy?
I think what they are saying is that everytime you run an unauthorized copy of a program, you infringe its copyright.
... and since it's not from Cupertino, the price will likely be somewhat reasonable as well.
What makes you think that? Verizon will charge what the market will bear. It may cost less than an iPhone, but will it really cost much less? If the user experience is close then there won't be a reason to reduce its price (supposedly, the value adder will be the "Verizon network").
So, you are saying that at 10K a pop, this is NOT something that "only early adopters and fanboys would buy"? The early iPhone is something that more people WANTED to buy, just weren't willing to do so at that price.
Also, how is this harming consumers? From your statement, I assume that a high prices iPhone didn't harm consumers but a high priced LP development cost does? Would it harm consumers less if they LP development cost was less and then things changed (breaking existing LPs)?
It is also probably a work in progress. Can you image the uproar if there were hundreds of LPs and Apple decides to change something? If the price is high enough, people will delay creating them and at 10K a pop, Apple could afford to go in and "fix" the existing LPs to work with the new format. This is basically what happened with the iPhone, at $600 they didn't sell as well as they could have and gave Apple time to make enhancements before dropping the price.
Work on the software's architecture or design. Draw diagrams on how the pieces are to fit together and how data (and control) are to flow throughout the system. This lets you look at your project from a more abstract perspective and may make it easier to get motivated to code portions.
Why is it illegal to clone Apple Macintosh computers, but it was not illegal to clone the IBM PC? Why is Apple protected, but IBM was not? What's the distinction?
Because IBM made the mistake of not getting an exclusive license to DOS.
Oh, I don't know? Because Windows has had a full standards-based implementation of ZeroConf for...oh...seven years, so Apple can finally bring a partial, somewhat standards compliant implementation of ZeroConf to Windows users who've had it for the best part of a decade?
According to here, ZeroConf was finished on 2003. If I remember correctly, Apple provided the first ZeroConf implementation for Windows. You might be thinking about uPnP.
If there is "NO COPYRIGHT AT ALL" then you don't have any rights to your code. This means that I can take your code, make any changes that I want without giving anything back. No thanks, but I will keep my copyright.
Now if you would have made a statement about reasonable copyright then I might have agreed, at some level.
They have a financial responsibility. If they release their documentation to a "legit architecture" then they will increase their sales accordingly. In this case, a "legit architecture" would be one that would have an impact on their bottom line (which would qualify BSD and Linux).
Your solution is too complicated. All you need to do is a slight file format transforamtion (just uuencode and then zip) will mask the watermarks. I suppose that this could be considered "encrypting" but it is almost the same as using ROT13 "encryption."
For the MPEG-2 streams that I record at home (DVD Standard = 3.25 GB/hr), it results in needing 8 Mb/sec (1 MB/sec) of bandwidth. Assuming that HD would take 4X the bandwidth (assuming standard MPEG-2, but HD should be more efficient), it would only need 32Mb/sec (4 MB/sec) of bandwidth (i.e., not much). You probably won't want to be doing too much simultaneously, but any HDD should be able to keep up.
Exactly, and that phase of his career was 11 years ago as a talk show host and this phase of his careen is now and is as a comedy show host. Subtle, yet different.
I'm not surprised you don't remember it. It came out in 1993 and lasted just long enough for everyone to realize Stewart's lack of talent or insight.
What you don't understand is that TDS is not a talk show, it is a comedy program. The "talk show" segment is only 5-15 minutes long (depending on the guest). I realize that you don't link John Stewart because he killed your dog, but I think he is more talented, and has more insight, that you give him credit.

That page looked terrible on my PC (with FireFox 3.5)! I can easily see this getting abused.

Rotten tomatoes has it rated at 95%, which means that there are very few critics that don't like the movie. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/star_trek_11/

Or, you can go over to SageTV (http://store.sagetv.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Scr een=PROD&Store_Code=SOS&Product_Code=STVLS) and stay on Linux.
That assumes that your BIOS will let you boot from the SATA CD-ROM.

No, they can not. They can sue the person who sold the infringing material, not the producer of the art supplies.
