If I purchase a book, the book becomes my property. Yet by law, I am not allowed to make a copy of said book until the copyright expires on it. In fact, copyright restricts private property rights by restricting what you can do with your own property.
I have noticed the the concept of standardization is almost alien to most industries. The computer industry gets along much better then the auto industry.
Wow, should Slashdot should castrate anyone who is against the notion of copyright law? Either make file sharing legal (the democratic method) or put the 50+ million people who do it in jail (the fascist method). I think we are headed toward the fascist method.
"Criminals made over £270m from film piracy in 2005, making this the worst affected single sector for intellectual property crime out of all IP industries.
"This is revenue that has been lost to the local and national economy and is affecting British jobs."
SO the supposed £270 million lost suddenly disappeared from the British economy? If you are going to make a case for more copyright protection, at least be honest about it. Stop trying to look like you are working for "the people" cause we all know "the people" want free movies.
I was born a Jew and I will die a Jew. Judaism has done so much for me, set me in the right path, and made be a better person. I will not forsaken all my relatives and ancestors who died for a belief. You may take my life, however you will never take my religion from me.
You are assuming a world without morality or religion would be better off. Instead of different religions we'd have the different athiest groups fighting each other. Only difference is athiests don't have a moral code to follow or are accountable for their actions.
No, no it really is. I'm a English major who never took a single math class in above high school geometry (which was more like "nap time") and I still function pretty well without it.
Why might that be? Math is critical to functioning in today's world -- from figuring out whether you have enough cash in your bank account to both pay the rent AND buy that new shiny iPod to determining how to modify your recipe to accommodate the unexpected arrival of 5 more dinner guests to averaging the scores of your english students to... you name it.
So what you are saying is anything above 3rd grade math is pointless?:)
Yes but not enough to download V for Vendetta in any reasonable time. I think they are trying to curb American culture because it may corrupt their religious ideals.
You going off on how much you love Jews, and on the otherhand, say they get away with too much, anti-Semitism is a joke, etc. I usually see this argument among those with an agenda.
"I love Jews, but I think they should jump of a ledge!"
Wrong! I grew up in a country with a firmly rooted Jewish community. Early on, I learned to judge people based on what they do, not who they are. This wasn't the case for many of the bullies which agressed Jews for religious reasons. I was beaten up many times because I tried to defend the Jews.

They are trying to target Windows users and make the system easy for those not familiar with Linux. It is suppose to work in theory.
Then kill academic tenure! Teachers and professors can say whatever they want and do whatever they want, because of academic freedom..
Tenured teachers can say whatever you want. Go for the root source of the problem, and that is tenure.
What if the teacher is tenured? Tenured teachers can theoretically teach about whatever the heck they want, in any way they want.

Just cause you never seen God don't assume others have not.
Yes. Stop spreading the myth.

Then what did he say? Who misquoted him?
They can look, EXACTLY (pixel for pixel) the same, because GTK+ uses Qt themes.
Uh yes, yes you can. See XDnD and Freedesktop.org Clipboard, which both GNOME and KDE support.

You don't have to respect all their wishes. What happened to fair use?
Quick, before they block it again!
I hope this will fix the problem of Kubuntu not automatically adding menu items for some GNOME applications that would normally be in the menu.
Libel laws are the slippery slope to a totalitarian state.
