Since they are, by definition, second world, you really can't call them third world. Well, technically they aren't second world anymore...

3rd world, 1st world and second world are actually political terms, it just happens that most non-democratic, non-communist countries were poor, so it got mixed up in most people's minds.
I don't think that I can agree that there are areas in the US that are communist or not allied with the US. Its a political definition, not an ecomonic one. Allthough, Berkley does have its own leanings...

No, it actually refers to communist versus democratic countries. 1st world countries are either "within the sphere of US interest" or were democratic and somewhat allied in the cold war. Second World countries are communist. Third world countries are not in either sphere of influence.

Secondary markets increase primary market sales. People are more likely to "try" a cd (either buy, copy and sell, or buy an unknown that someone recommended) if they know there is a secondary market to sell it in. Think about it, someone has to be buying the new copies and reselling them and they would have to buy less new copies if no one was buying used, as they would have less money to buy new copies with. Thus, secondary sale helps drive primary sales. If you really want to hurt the RIAA, or the BPI, don't buy major label music, buying used may annoy them, but its not crippling.
For all I know that parent is as well, but its worth noting that this if a UK initiative, not a US one. Its still important, but you may want to wait the two weeks or so for it to cross the pond to start bombarding US ISP's not to sign...
However, the issue most people are bringing up is the moral one, rather then the legal one. Ignoring the fallacy of assuming that there is a Slashdot group mind, the prevailing attitude seems to be that:
Non-commercial copying for private use (downloading TV and music, lending them to friends etc without making money on it) may be illegal (malum prohibitum) but is not morally wrong (malum en se). Although the law may state that the action is wrong, people do not feel that it is and thus do not have a sense of moral outrage. The common analogy is with speeding; most people are not morally outraged by someone exceeding the speed limit.
However, the commercial distribution of files, or in this case the copying and redistribution of work without attribution for money is believed by most people to be both malum prohibitum and malum en se. As they believe that this is actually a bad act, there is a sense of moral outrage when such acts occur.
Thus the question of why people can get upset about one type of infringement but not another when both are against the law is a fallacy; the prevailing attitude is that the two actions are not analogous although the current laws state that they are.
My wife sang in the LOTR series when it opened in Baltimore. The show was very near sold out (it may have been sold out at the end) and it was only a tuesday and wednesday apperance. There was a large mix of usual choral arts and symphony patrons and also LOTR fans. I don't know how big the fanbase of FF is, but I imagine that they'll get a lot of regualr symphony patrons as well as fans and should do well.
No, I'm agreeing with the grandparent, and contradicting the anon coward who posted links to "Estados Unidos de Mexico" as proof that we aren't the only country with America in its name. I'm arguing with the parent of my post, not the grandparent of the thread
No, we are. We're not the only country with United States in its name. No part of "estados unidos mexicanos" (United States of Mexico) in any way translated to Americas.

Jack's not a bourbon. Use Jim Beam instead.

Can I build and deploy applications using the Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition Beta 1?
No. During the Beta 1 timeframe we want customers to experiment, evaluate and learn with the tool, but sites cannot be used for any public or production purposes. At Beta 2 Microsoft will likely provide a "Go-live license" that will enable developers to put sites into production.
No, the licensing doesn't let you make applications and the Web Dev specifically says that you can't put it into production and that a license (I am speculating that you have to pay for) will be available after Beta 2 comes out to be able to put things into production. You're not even supposed to use this version with IIS, only with the internal, local-host only webserver
No, this may be free as in beer, but they are definitly not meeting the "free" spirit of Open Source. It looks like you can't make commercial products with these, which is certainly not free/open
As a Mercedes Benz driving apple fan boy, I'm saddened my this. Especially because I'm now worried that there will be some horrid MB/Rio or MB/Napster tie in
Imacs can run OSX. Are you looking for an OS9 solution? If so, please put that in your post. Otherwise, people tend to assume you run OSX these days, especially on Slashdot.

But the decision to use only the open drivers, rather then the free binaries is not a legal decision. It also means that anyone with a dvi monitor can't install the distro easily, at lease some of the test versions had problems with the graphical and text installer not matching and you can't do a graphic install with a dvi monitor because only the binary nvidia drivers support dvi-out
I asked about that when I was getting my car. A house tends to appreciate over time, so if they repo it after a year it probably worth the same or more. A car takes a huge hit in value when it leaves the lot, so they lose more if they take it back.
