Got digital out and digital in? If so what is preventing someone from playing the "protected" media and recording it into another program thru their digital soundcard?
No loss in quality.
Show them how to install a free os, then teach them a shell. If anything ever goes wrong, usually a shell can fix it on most all operating systems. I might even stay away from a gui until they have taken an intro class and learned the basics of a shell.
I would talk with mom and pop before giving away CDs and adress any questions they have about "free" software and piracy.
You need 2 forms of ID, one can be your licence or passport and the other has to be a major credit card or a SS card. If I had a Credit Card, I would use it. An my name is on my check. Hope they calm that policy down as well. I try to avoid RS as much as possible, other than to go in and annoy the sales people who know very little.
What about open source bots that clearly do not use their software? If I start writing a bot right now, I have never seen their software, but I could get dragged into court over it? That doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
Granted that they will make lots of money, but still... sounds like a bad idea to me.
He still has a girlfriend? That in it self is amazing, maybe she should just take his computer one day and throw it out the window? That will make him stop, be much more fun, and not involve having to go out to buy the fish net, or spoon feed him. Or you could just format his HD and put OS2 on it!
Everything that this bill is trying to stop has to do with distribution. If people are not allowed to distribute this "illegal" material, then there would be no need for this bill. They could just do some fancy stuff with ISPs and block file sharing ports, they could log all transfers, or anything else that invades privacy. It would probably be less controvercial than this bill.
I say, instead of making the stuff in the bill illegal, why not make broad band illegal? I know that napster really sucked waiting half an hour for a 3 minute song to download on my 56k.
Piracy has its place. It is called college. With the fat pipe right into your room and everyone on campus sharing files.

Apple in prime position now?
on
More on MPEG4
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Couldn't Apple just change the codec for the new quicktime and pretty much set the standard?
Since most of Real's codecs are moving toward open standards, and MS probably will go with something similar to the MPEG-LA standard, so "we" would be still in the same place.
One standard for quicktime (which I would like to see on Linux), one for Real, and some stupid codec for M$.
In the long run, something free, like the mp3 codec will win out, I am not going to pay fees.

I go to RPI and you can get any product that the "help desk" has for FREE. Just go down, talk to one of the guys that works there. If you need software for a class, it is free.
So are copies of win2k, XP, 98, probably NT and Office XP, Maple, Visual C++ and a few other things like the school's edition of solid works.
Although they have some blocks on some of the software, like in photoshop and solidworks, you must be on the college network, but with most of it, you can use it anywhere.
Anyway, if you are a college student, when are you not on the network?
Mine was giant and yellow.
Slashdot is going to force me to spend money on "something" with this new ad system, either a new monitor for a higher res, a new mouse cause the wheel is gonna break, or they are going to give me a free subscription....
I don't see any of these happening, and besides, my comment is completely off topic so far.
But since I am a Linux user, and have had just about as much contact with Windows aXe Pee as I need, (read seen screenshots and used win2k) I really don't have much input as to how people put their computers to sleep, mine run all the time, but that is mainly due to nfs samba and my webserver nevermind playing RTCW....
I agree somewhat... Communism is cool in all, but I like the thought that a college education will in the long run net me about 20 grand more a year, that would be why I am here now. And DX would be really cool... IF M$ would, or someone like ximian would, port a useable version to other platforms / make it open source. If someone could make something like the cross over plugin that works with windows media and quicktime for linux, I would be in paradice. The only games I can really play on linux well, are those with OpenGL support, I am not complaining, cause RTCW kicks butt, but I wouldn't mind being able to play the Tom Clancy games or some other stuff based on DX. Although communism is in theory the best, it is not the one the everyone choses to live under, the same way with winblows and DX, not the best way, but everyone's doin it.
Just wondering, but where exactly does google make their money. If they own thousands of computers and have this huge pipe to the rest of the world, generators, ups systems, people working there, electricty, and running water... don't they have to make money somewhere?
There are no ads that I have ever seen, but give really good info on many subjects, such as linux, and have been up for a few years now.
This isn't 1998, you actually have to make money on the internet now to maintain yourself, so where does the cash flow come from?
Columbia?
And we get "The Matrix" a little eairlier than we expected....
Do you really think DRAM could produce solar cells / nuclear power... if they could, we should be careful... I mean, if it is millions of searches a second faster than a hard drive, who knows?!?
:-P
I am only in Comp Sci 1 right now in college, but am starting to really get into Linux and once I DO know how to program would like to make a contribution to the "cause". But I haven't the faintest idea of how to. I would buy a book like this. I think you should go for it if you get more people to support you and publish something like this. As long as it doesn't weight more than me, I will go down to the local bookstore and buy it. A good manual that can be read from cover to cover and executed and then used as a reference would be great, especiall if it was under 200 pages, and in an easy to read format and well priced.

Holy cow! and then like 14 people point it out! Imagine that.
Maybe everyone that posted below this should take some of their own medicine.

What does Al Gore think of this?
Well, RPI is there and just won a pretty big contract for doing work for IBM and the likes, so this may just be a follow up on that deal...
