Piezo are the things that normally makes the buzzing noise in electronics, for example on-board PC speakers, in the iPod it is used to make the clicking noise.
Or it could be just the mouse, especially wireless ones, not that I read the article or anything, the LCD could in theory intefere with the RF signal.
Or this is the lamest excuse at getting/.ed ever, posting your videos on the front page anyone?
The People's computer are state-subsidized machine that comes pre-loaded with localized linux, cheaply, about $200 Some local manufacture are also start to offer similar machine at the same price point-preloaded with linux as well.
Yes, there's nothing to stop people from loading a pirated XP in these machines, but average person who just wants a computer won't care, these machines are fairly low-specced, geeks who will bother to get a pirated copy of windows to run won't bother with these machines, those that are, will be a minority.
Microsoft have a unified pricing structure, if they lower the price of XP there, people in other places will start questioning why not here? Despite repeated request from the government there for lower-prized windows, they out right refuse not to; so they'll ship a crippled copy instead to prevent them having to lower price everywhere.
Now, the average people will start to think, hmmm. for a couple of buck more, I can have the same "Windows" I use at work, non of these weird Linux... We're doomed.:)
The people's computer comes bundled with local distro of Linux, that's why. They're runnin scared, shitless.
Majority of those who bought these machines will stay with linux, those who knows how to install a copy of XP will indeed find the pirated copies anyway.
Nah, the Soviets blows themselves up. They stole the chips. The US did not sell it to them, the US did not misled them to use the chips. Well, according to the story anyway...

No new villain = no new action figure
If the previous villain isn't killed, the plot would just be messy introducing all kinds of new character wouldn't it? beside you have the Emperor all the way through anyway
A tricky one What would happen if say, I took a GPL'd code, modified it and released it back as GPL'd
then I am contacted by a company to negotiate a contract that would fall outside the GPL, so now that the company who bought my works aren't bound by the GPL
Am I allowed to do this? where does the ownership lies? the original owner? Keeping in mind that I still release the code under the GPL, but just exempliflying one company
So what is there to stop a company planting an employee to modify certain GPL'd programs under the above scenarios then giving them rights to distribute without GPL?
IANAL so maybe one could enlighten me on where does the copyright ownership lies regarding derivative work?
They are pusing down the price to combat the pirated games that's available cheaply, thus puttinng on the cost elsewhere ie. the western world, buy yourself some clue

What if they're bidding up for a bad shift instead of down for a popular one? would you percieve it as adding value?
and creating many more problems in the process....
How about traffic for ads, or subscriptions?
