I think hobby rocketry enthusiasts around the world should shoot loads of sand up in front of the orbit of this satellite to see if they can destroy it! If they can, then any enemy of the US could also have done so and the US will know the plan was flawed.
Open Source offloads the cost of developing software onto the users. As in any project you must do the background and develop a basic functioning program first to attract contributors to your project. Then your development costs start to go down as the popularity of your project increases. Now you have a community that depends on your software so start providing them with whatever value added products you can think of. Maybe a plugin architecture and sell subscriptions to your best work. Use your imagination, that's how Open Source will thrive.
This is Microsoft still flogging the dead horse of free hardware with subscription software. This is exactly the opposite of Linux and open source, who do you think is going to win?
The more they restrict things the less I want their products. I'm already not buying so I guess that means I never will. It's a lot easier to live without non-free music than to live with it!
If the record companies or artists were unwilling to accept a 50 year copyright term then they shouldn't have recorded it 50 years ago. This work is simply doing what is was supposed to do from the outset, become free for everyone to use as they wish. It's a good thing.
The less I want their products. Not only that but with the quality of programming spinning round the bowl about to go down, is there anything worth recording anyway? If you do record anything there is that stupid transparent station logo in the lower right corner all the time. What I have been doing is finding something else to do and it works just great!
A wifi router can be had for $20 if you shop around.
Once the drive is reformatted reinstall XP.
Disable File and Printer Sharing.
Enable the Firewall.
The router firewall will protect you while you update windows and norton.
Is this another example of how the patent system fails to compensate inventors or is it an example of how patents prevent innovation. It could be stated either way.

You were fired for enfringing a thought patent.
If you're confident in your abilities, then just quit. A job like that will be easy to find again.
prefixed with Leisuresuit please!

Many politicians seem to be going the other way!
You can use my software to run my knitting machine, but you can't use my software to steal my identity. That is the difference.
The information economy! So naturally we don't have that extra cash!
I knew sooner or later competition would drive DRM out of the marketplace and it's already starting!
It's like Intel giving you a bullet so you can shoot yourself in the foot! Just say NO! to DRM technology.
There is nothing wrong with what you're doing. That is exactly how the GPL was intended things to work. After all, he's using your code too!
It's much easier for a government to execute it's plans if people don't have access to the truth.

We have a surplus of power, for now.

Why would anyone even consider widening the Windows plague?!
Sounds like we'll have to come up with a new name for the AOLisk google. Loogle?

It's US! Buckminsterfuller would be so proud!
Indoctrinate them when they're young.

Is it's own code that runs reliably on it's own operating system, then it can start looking to running other OS's code.
Did you happen to mention this to the EFF so they can correct the error?
