I disagree. I am not cheap. I am more than happy to pay for content. I will pay for it what its worth. And as of today, I can get the best content for free. So why would I pay for less than the best when the best is already free??
You have to offer something better than what is being offered for free.
As for the digital thing. I imagine it was equally as hard when the government said, "This green piece of paper is worth 5 sheep." I can imagine the farmers having a hard time seeing he value of that piece of paper. Similarly I think is people seeing value in digital content that you cant touch.
Any mail I get from FL immediately goes into the trash. Their is something wrong with their laws down their and most of the late '80s vacation spam scam came from FL. I don't think they could be prosecuted as in other states. At this point they have become a part of the economy of FL, and that means they have influence. I would suspect if email spam gets any legal footing, the servers will end up in Florida...
I don't entirely agree. Racism was manufactured, not created out of conditions, like the competition between 2 peoples. It does not really go both ways, as your Neanderthal vs. Cromagnon analysis would.
My point is that it was used BY Europeans, ON Europeans. And not by Eurpoeans, on Africans as most people tend to think. And this is what I am relating to the RIAA. Most of their noise making is show for their "stock holders" to see, and not really for the end users, as most people currently are saying.
P.S. Recall that the greatest obsticle to the exploitation of Africa was and always has been Europeans that felt it was wrong.
hehe, 1 post? I was saying OMG as I hovered over the link. you can./ Geocities with 1 person:)
Actually, that was my first reaction. My 2nd was that its been 10 years since Ihave been there, and it IS a professionally owned site. Perhaps it can withstand the/. these days.
you actually do own the CDs you have. its the copyright thats in question. I wonder if they sold the copyright is their someone out their with a copyright and no code!?
perhaps its YOU that stands to make a buck:) Though I know thats not your purpose with the code.
Yes. Can't you sell a put? I don't think you can sell your short position, only cash it in. but its not marketable so to speak.
THis is the perfet time for all this slashdot knowledge and all my tech website readings to turn into some real cash. I definitely need to be selling SCO short. no way they will win. its like that fool that patented the hyperlink.
But still I have a hard time wagering money I do NOT have...
a short sell can have unpredictable losses can't it!?
Another point worth considering is the service the RIAA provides. They are not the profiting entity per se. They are an association of the profiting entities. They must make sure the people they represent see them as relevent, not so much the people they seek to prosecute.
This reminds me of racism. People confuse what it was intended to do. It was a tool to convience your everyday European it was OK to abuse Africans. It was NOT a tool to convience Africans of their own inferiority.
The RIAA is using filesharing in the exact same way. To convience, not the file sharers, of their bad deeds, but to convience the people that the RIAA represents, that the RIAA is valuable.
Let me add though that I agree with your conclusion. Wanting to turn a profit, and needing to turn a profit at two totally different situations. I think this "need" will be bad for Ximian.
WordPerfect barely breathing? WP is the best word processor in existance. Word is horrible and any software that clones words unintuitive interface is equally as horrible. WP has a nice following and I am quite pleased with it along with its many users.
Sure its not as popular due mostly to the fact that it never was part of a complete office package. MS Word's success I attribute exclusively to 2 things. 1. MS Excel is an awesome program. 2. MS' illegal behavior with its OS APIs.
Quattro Pro is part of the WP package and is just as alive as WP. Paradox is as well, but I agree that its just laughable.
And the only thing you got absolutely correct you put a question mark next to? Your a strange fella.
I bought a phone and had it for 3 years back in '92. contract was 2 years. Then I decided to upgrade, so I got a new 2 year contract with a new phone. 2 days later phone was stolen. They made me pay out the rest of the contract even without the phone, and would not give me a deal on a new phone. They wanted like $500 for a cheap ass motorola botom of the line phone.
From then on I quit Ameritech. Screw them. I just tought me I could live without a phone, and I have for 8 years running now...
I got one for my wife though. Married folks know how it is. Nice to to have your wife tethered, but not quite as nice to be tethered yourself.
I think a post can receive more than 1 mod. so probably it got a couple of deservedly off topic or some such mods for being so stale. perhaps funny was just the most recent mod!?

I can say this is the same in the auto industry. Most of the high profile issues you hear about in the news are from systems failures. Such that one supplier does not understand fully how to make his component compatible with another. Its an OEM issue. OEMs just dont do much engineering and its coming back to bite them.
Here is one example of a specification problem from a nameless OEM.
We made, lets say, rear defrosters for them. They specified that they should handle 28amps. We made it extra beefy and they handled 40amps. we of course ate any extra costs. Coupla of years later the OEM has realized how nice and beefy this unit is. So they start using it on another vehicle @ ! 35amps. new engineer comes on for us and decides to read the spec. Hey these things only need 28amps, cost save time! So they are trimmed down to 'meet the spec.' Nobody notices the new application. And the new applicaiton now fails.
So this is a system failure, but the system is the 'process,' and not the physical components. I assume the aviation industry has things to prevent this. we follow that industry when we can, but our profit margin is extremely tight.
Indeed. There is a point after which you begin to clip the music and reduce its dynamic range. If you record the damn thing too high, I will never be able to play it loud without distortion.
My brother tought me this 20 years ago when he showed me how to make tapes. I would sit there and stare at the VU meter throughout the WHOLE song, turning down the record volume slightly every time it hit red. Then rewind the song, and now with the volume properly set, record it.
Later I learned to let a bit of red slip in there, to taste. If its loud and distorted, its just pure garbage.
Personally I do not like rock and roll. But if its lound and 'clear' I can dislike it with a sort of appreciation...
Have you been smokin son? Whatever the question, I first google the relevant news groups, then google the web if nothing comes up. news groups almost always give me waht I want. Else I post a question on the group itself. again I get excellent answers.
I also stick around while I learn the particular package in full, and offer new passers by the answers others were nice enough to offer me.
Its implied. If you agree to make available another car for my car, and take my car and say the other car is at the north pole, a judge wont accept that it.

No. Take me off your list.
Well i though it rather strange that one should learn from an article more than the contents of an article...
Hehe. I always thought, that crap does not work. Their ripping the customer off. But then I saw the diabolicalness of the whole thing.

To sum it up, any offer from Florida is a scam.

Well of course the Unions are sometimes having corrupt presidents. Sad state of affairs. It really only takes 1 bad president to loose leverage.
The true market barrier will of course be the big3 favorite business 'partner.' The Federal Government.
What? You cant spare 15 cars to crash on this barrier to get airbag certification? Or better yet, you just can't seem to GET the certification...
Entrenched is probably the correct term.
I hope they are backed by a large political party, or organized crime. Else the big3 will have them summarily executed.
Havent we been here before? I think this is how all car companies start out. The world is too corrupt or im a big fat cynic.
