This isn't $50 million profit. It's $50 million for research and education. It doesn't go in to anyone's pocket. You've got your "analogy" (I believe you're actually attempting a simile) mixed up. Music in a movie is licensed. A reproduction of a drawing need not be licensed to be used in a non-profit report. If my kid writes a report for 6th grade science class, and draws a comic book character on the front as an illustration, does he have to pay a license fee?
Give me a break. The comic is fantasy, and the illustration for the report (a reproduction, not a copy. Learn the difference.) is fantasy too. Irrepairable harm my arse, this illustrator is just looking for free publicity and he's getting it. The report isn't even for wide public dissemination.

This is a very informative comment worthy of a +5 informative.. In a slashdot story about lesser known Windows administration tools. Here are a few points where you failed.
Cut the whiney "you guys are just Windows Ignorant" crap. It's annoying flamebait and reeks of wanton supremacism. Don't pat yourself on the back just because you read the documentation for the fucking resource kit you tool.
Secondly, what the fuck does this post have to do with the SSL issue? NOTHING. I understand that you feel Microsoft is being victimized (boo fucking hoo) here on Slashdot, but the truth is that it DOESN'T MATTER. Microsoft fucked up and no amount of "well we should thank them for this or that" whining is going to change that.
Paragraphs. Heard of em? Use em. They go a long way in making your little rant LEGIBLE.
Finally, good sir, your post is crass, boorish, and just plain lame. You have no right to be _demanding_ that people maintain "intellectual conversation" when you can't even start one yourself. Capiche mein grasshopper?
You forgot to mention one of the best features of the Rio Volt SP250. The anti-skip protection.
This baby has eight minutes of skip protection for MP3/WMA CDs and three minutes for audio CDs. It also recognises and uses M3u playlists. Bonus!
CNET claims this is the best MP3 player there is today. They gave it a 9 out of 10. I'd agree.
Humans are not so dependant on computers that we trust their results completely. If there were to be a massive AI Conspiracy to corrupt or sway scientific calculations and other related events, folks would notice. Humans are uncanny pattern detectors (which covers both detecting patterns, and detecting a lack thereof) and folks would pick up on this phenomenon eventually when things started to "seem abnormal".
Multiple devices, multiple drivers, niche market, requires powerful audio processing software to even be useful on the order of StarOffice or Mozilla, except it doesn't even have half of one percent of their user base. Do you know any developers willing to give up the next 3 years of their lives full time to program this stuff for free to license as GNU software? It would probably be longer.
And who's going to pay for test kit? These units are $700 a pop.
Yes, and when you fart, for a few nanoseconds, a vacuum is created in your rectum. Then that vacuum is filled with your head. Then you get the bright idea of posting to slashdot, and here we are.
The DigiDesign hardware is not just a fancy multi-I/O soundcard. It has specialized hardware for many of the more complex sound processing tasks you perform. Writing drivers for this beast isn't about just writing a sound driver. It's about writing support for many devices inside of it and then writing a common interface to all of these devices for an audio processing software app. Unless DigiDesign writes or contracts someone to write linux drivers and port ProTools to linux, you will never ever see support for the DigiDesign hardware. Do you think they're going to port to linux any time soon? Do you think pigs may start flying this season?
Show me a single piece of hardware that Apple manufactures that they do not sell as a standard feature or add-on option? When you're talking about Apple manufacturing hardware, there are no non-standard parts. Its implied in how they've always behaved.
A lone researcher cites vague research to blame WorldCom for dotcom bandwidth burst. Slashdot kids blindly believe the lone researcher with dodgy data and embark on rants about blindly believing what authorities say, using the WorldCom case as evidence.
The prevailing winds and jetstreams in the United States travel east. Folks east of the site would be contaminated, not west. But then, thats assuming that the nuclear material magically leaves its bullet proof, drop proof, superstrong container, starts to fly, and somehow starts to 'fallout' across the sky. If you can make that happen, I think you might want to go visit an army recruiter; they like stuff like that.
Did you know there are other sites like the one to be built in Nevada? Full of radioactive materials. Well, they aren't exactly identical; these sites have no guards, the materials aren't stored in containers, and they aren't fenced off. They're called uranium ore veins. They get big. Really big. Nature makes them.
This has been around for some 2 years now. Plenty referenced, talked about, perused, this is old news. Most of us have known about this for a long time now.
I would rather jump 1 learning hill and have a smooth ride afterwards than have my hand held and forever be fucking around trying to get work done whilst the interface tries to doddle me like a small child. Your easy to learn interface is one of the worst hinderances to productivity ever created.

I did. It's a reproduction. It isn't a scan. RTFStory.

If she redrew it, it would be called a... wait for it... *reproduction*! Just what MIT claims. No conspiracy here, move along...

OS X support should be out for Macs soon.
...and let us write a driver...
Yes, I hear it's going to kick ass too! Just think, Unix on a Mac. What will they think of next?
A driver. heh. thats funny.
You have no idea what this hardware is, do you?
Why don't you learn exactly what this hardware is and what it does before you make silly statements like the above?
Yes, and when you fart, for a few nanoseconds, a vacuum is created in your rectum. Then that vacuum is filled with your head. Then you get the bright idea of posting to slashdot, and here we are.

Show me a single piece of hardware that Apple manufactures that they do not sell as a standard feature or add-on option? When you're talking about Apple manufacturing hardware, there are no non-standard parts. Its implied in how they've always behaved.
One specialized application that Apple sells requires a 3 button mouse, and you think this is going to cause them to ship 3 button mice standard?
Does Dell ship cad/cam tablets standard because AutoCad suggests using them?
What kind of nonsense news is this anyway? Can't the Slashdot editors tell a troll when they see one?
A lone researcher cites vague research to blame WorldCom for dotcom bandwidth burst. Slashdot kids blindly believe the lone researcher with dodgy data and embark on rants about blindly believing what authorities say, using the WorldCom case as evidence.
Yup, just another day on Slashdot.

Yes, 49 states get what they want. Its not called a Democratic Republic for nothing.
By the way, do you know where Nevada gets its power? Homework assignment for tonight.
This has been around for some 2 years now. Plenty referenced, talked about, perused, this is old news. Most of us have known about this for a long time now.
And what does this mean, exactly?
You learn an application once.
You use it for years after that.
