I though Islam was also an Abrahamic religion, therefore having lots of respect for those old books
Yes, the Koran has specific passages saying to respect Jews, Christians, and other 'people of the book.' It's something that some Palestinians seem to have forgotten.
when they go out of their way to prevent piracy, via CSS or protected CDs, that's wrong... but when someone does pirate something, it's their own damned fault for not trying hard enough to prevent it?
Well, if you've been paying attention, real pirates don't worry about CSS, they copy the whole disk and press 20,000 of them. The situation we are discussing has nothing to do with that - somebody taped the movie at a screening. CSS won't stop that either.
They merely say you're not allowed to charge money to people to watch them.
It's similar to the situation with bars and large sporting events - bars can't charge admission to their Superbowl party because that would be illegal, but they can sell beer to the people who come.

The Japanese use Chinese characters
The Japanese use Japanese characters (kanji) that resemble Chinese characters. They usually input them by spelling them out (using hiragana - the equivalent to an alphabet) and having the computer guess at the meaning, then correct that meaning. It usually works out alright.
That would imply that your typical fluorescent light bulb is almost 10 times brighter than a 100W incandescent bulb.
This is true for a 100W flourescent and a 100W incandescent. However, flourescent bulbs are bigger, so the lumens aren't quite so concentrated, and most of them are less than 100W - closer to 40.
It should, however, be a wake-up call to game developers.
What? 'Hey guys, there are nutballs that want to make what you're doing illegal'. It's not like there isn't some group that wants to make just about anything illegal, right?
But could you do that in 1994, which is when he started showing his 'demonstrations' to people?
I can certainly stream video over copper wires - it's called a T1; they use 2 pairs instead of 1.
To take it further, if you can run the video off of half a T1, then you could service 2 houses per pipe (with a phone line using a 64k slice when in use). The only reason we don't is probably that the phone company has no motivation to do so, as it would upset their revenue model and most likely destroy their nice fat T1 margins.
Isn't a corporation just a collection of individuals, no matter how much the Left tries to depersonalize things?
No, that is exactly what the Corp is not. Otherwise, the employees would be legally liable for Nike's actions. There are a lot of rights that a corp doesn't have, such as the vote - they are not an individual, and should not be considered a person.
Still, if understanding and complying with the summary won't ensure that you will comply with the actual license, what's the point of reading it at all?
... and start digging for incriminating dirt on every elected official you can find.
Shouldn't you be digging up dirt on corporate executives? Lots of people have done things they aren't proud of, and some of it is probably prosecutable. Getting some VPs convicted under 3-strike drug laws could be lots of fun.
A system that can only run 48 hours between resets yet allows launch after more than 48 hours is broken.
You would rather the missile launcher shut itself down?
Blaming the user for using the product in a way that the programmer did not intend is bullshit because all interfaces used by humans should be designed for human behaviour!
What was going on in this case was that the launching system had a minor but cumulative rounding error in its time measuring.
What's interesting is that this isn't a bug. The system in question was designed for a maximum duration of 48 hours between resets, and they ran it for a week.
Or did the Erfurt shootings NOT just happen in your little universe?
Given what I've heard about Korean players (especially regarding Starcraft), there should be at least a couple school shootings over there every week. Or maybe video game violence isn't the main cause...

I have no clue how they fit 3 PCIs and 4 bays into a 1U box, but I sure am glad.
They have one stack on the left for 64 bit PCI and one on the right with the 32 bit PCI. This is like

Well, if i had half a dozen Ferraris, I could probably also afford to hire a Real Scientist!
Or do you belive in some other god with less or different powers?
I believe in Eris and her unbridled lust. Nothing to do with computers, but with Eris, who needs a computer?

it probably means that the distributor bought the book to pump numbers and then sent that vopy out in the next shipment to stores.
I wouldn't be suprised if a 100W bulb only produced 1W of visible light.
It's usually around 3W. IIRC, flourescent runs around 25W.
For starters, the fax machine itself is obsolete technology.
Nah, name one other document transmission technology (other than courier) that lawyers can use.

You have no legal "right" to play DVD's wherever you want to. That's why the algorithms are licensed.
well, I bought my DVDs, so I own them, and i can do whatever i please with them, except make a copy and sell it.

to be fair, they also brought us such things as the clock and gunpowder.

you need to accept the GPL in order to have the right to copy the software into ram.
Wouldn't that constitute copying necessary to use the product as intended?

You know, some of us hate football. It's hard to get excited over 22 guys fighting over an ovoid ball for 3 hours.
