>>>why do talented people waste their abilities on viruses?
Your government has teamed up with microsoft to create the worlds largest botnet. Microsoft supplies the vulnerable OS that seems accidentaly insecure. You government allows MS to block all competition and maintain a monopoly in order to host this botnet on "free"* hardware.
*free to the government because You paid for the hardware and bandwidth.
Of course there is another article here on slashdot noting that the airforce will become the chairforce in order to address cyberwar and shit. Our government will find a way to spend a billion dollars to do what a few hackers do in thier spare time.
Let's charge the tax payers seven billion dollars, we'll buy 1 million dollars in PCs and servers, pay 5 engineers who are managed by 40 managers, and answer no ones questions. oh, and we will need to pay a haliburton owned company 1 billion dollars to build us a 100 million dollar office space.
We won't actually accomplish anything but it sure will look grand.
If anyone asks, We did all we could and we will not loose our resolve.

That's just fine as long as the filtered people are footing the bill for the complexity of the filters. Those who can tolerate the lack of filter should get a discount.

"If I go to the airport, I can buy a coach standby ticket or a first-class ticket," Smith said. "In the shipping business, I can get two-day air or six-day ground."
Ok, this asshat just explained why I, the end user, pays for DSL as opposed to dial-up....And why I bought a corvette instead of a [common japanese import].
I already paid for my ability to go faster. He needs not fuck with that.
Besides, the internet already took care of this. Anyone who can't afford a good host/server already suffers latency and slow serving speeds. The megacorps and monopolies already have the speed advantage which they can afford. And furthermore yet, this is more like a "Pay me to slow your competitor down" than it is "Pay me to increase your speed." Someone needs to burn this guys house down. (just don't do it because I said so)
I find it a little odd that certain variations of the GPL are renamed to show that they ARE NOT the GPL that everyone is used to (CDDL, MPL BSD etc...) but that a change in the "THEE" GPL keeps the same three letter acronym even though it is not the same GPL that you are used to. I realise that a person can specify the version of GPL but why be ambiguous?
Also, in the spirit of freedom, efficiency and 'less government' shouldn't the main goal of editing the GPL be reducing the word count and removing all lawyer speek (if there was any)?
The bigger problem is that any transmission we might send into space is like an injured fish bleeding in the water. 'Sharks' will smell the 'blood' from 'miles' away. They will be coming for us soon.....:(

"IF" your phone can browse the internet and you have some free webspace from your ISP, you can create a web page for yourself and put the wallpapers and tones on it.

You forgot the part about the $1000 worth of computational hardware that is sitting on your desk and the skill involved in using it. You, like myself, represent the minority.
But who should be paying who to advertise a recording artist? A ring tone isn't a song, just a short sample.
The cell phone user gets [perceivced*] coolness rating for ringtone. The RIAA get free grass roots advertising for giving artists album. The advertising is worth much, much more than coolness when round to the nearest dollar.
looks like an even steven deal to me. Ringtones should be free with exception to the data download cost.
*The ringtone user thinks he is cool, everyone else thinks he is an asshole. It's a simple matter of perspective.
>>> Tin Foil Hat's have been proven to increase the range of reception and transmission.
That is a flaw in hat design. You can't shape the hat like a dish or bowl and not expect it to have a focal point.... in your head.
The hat needs to be formed with five parabolic dishes, joined together at the edges, with the dishes(concaves) pointed outwards from each other. The "front" dish can have two small cutouts for your eyes.

Isn't the whole point of statistics and percentages to compare groups and samples using smaller and varying sample sizes?

>>>Last I looked, Microsoft didn't stop other media players from running on Windows.
Maybe it is less about the player and more about the encrypted wmv format that is intentionally incompatible with FOSS.
