Which gives me an idea. As long as Microsoft wants to continue to compete in the low end they mush make DRM truly optional. Their software is now the most expensive part of a computer. The hardware has been getting cheaper and cheaper and ther software is getting more expensive. Otherwise the cost of closed hardware will drive the demand for alternitives and drive MS into Apple territory. Afterall, if MS is able to fritz chip all pcs, what will be the difference between PCs and Apples. Not a whole lot.
"The benchmarks from Quake III: Arena follow the same pattern we have seen since the introduction of the Pentium 4: at the top of the leader board with a solid lead over the Athlon XP."
Seem like a pretty pathetic lead for the price you pay.
Your comparing the Digital TV market penetration to Cable TV and VCRs? First of all, there are more DVD players sold in a year then VCRs. Then there is the fact that they have to compare the old technology (analog tvs, which have a really high market penetration) to the new stuff. You can't compare DTV to solar powered cars or high class porn. It would not be fair to force consumers to jump onto the DTV bandwagon unless they would be getting similar service levels.
3. A heinous crime; especially, a crime punishable by death
or imprisonment.
Note: Forfeiture for crime having been generally abolished in
the United States, the term felony, in American law,
has lost this point of distinction; and its meaning,
where not fixed by statute, is somewhat vague and
undefined; generally, however, it is used to denote an
offense of a high grade, punishable either capitally or
by a term of imprisonment. In Massachusetts, by
statute, any crime punishable by death or imprisonment
in the state prison, and no other, is a felony; so in
New York. the tendency now is to obliterate the
distinction between felonies and misdemeanors; and this
has been done partially in England, and completely in
some of the States of the Union. The distinction is
purely arbitrary, and its entire abolition is only a
question of time.
This is a matter for lawers not consumers. Lawers with their pointy forks to stick up the butts of companies who break the law. Consumers don't care about the GPL. The only one who do don't like to be called consumers anyways.

I didn't accept and they let me through. So much for Airline security!
What happens is that people who tell of the true value of Pi will become terrorists. "Terrorizing" everyone with the truth.

N CASE YOU DIDN'T NOTICE
With this commemnt I was pointing out a Felony means nothing these days. So don't judge this law by it, look deeper.
Ad? What ad?
Oh that right! I'm circumventing DRM with my ad blocker!

Probably people who live in Maryland & Virginia!

Which brings up the need for an international rescue agency. Or perhaps they could allow you call the operator.
