I agree with you that "China == bad" is not always true. But how do you explain the 80% market share of Baidu? In China, you can't do big business without kowtow to the government. That's a reason for that bullshit to exists. And that's a way to get rid of those bullshit: lift your hands off the people and let them have the freedom. By the way, I am Chinese.
People in China needs piracy and illegal copies to learn what we learned. Without piracy (of books, of movies, of news clips, of everything), they don't even know what's outside their home --- because everything "legal" is censored.
If you read TFA closely to the end, you'll see that somehow two connected computers constitutes a "particular machine", where one does not.
Wait a second....can you tell me what is a computer? I am typing on my MacBook Pro which has a Core2Duo processor with two cores, each core has its own logic circuit and some caching memory. So I am using one computer or two connected computers?
Because it is DVR! Let's add a button, so that when pushed, the circuit is overclocked by 3x, and return to normal when released. Then, forget about FF button.
Suppose each movie is sold for $10 per view, and only 1 out of 100 would pay for that. According to my memory of the economics lesson, if I sold it for $1 per view, there would possibly be 50 out of 100 would pay, depend on the content of the movie.
So can you say, because I sold it for $1 for an illegal copy and 50 bought it, you lost $10*50=$500? Or should it be $10*1=$10? There is a huge difference!
Absolutely agree!
Hacking is a scientific research and it is orthogonal to ethics. Only cracking, which is an activity, can be described as ethical or not.
Seems the exam's organizer ain't knowing what hacking means....
What promises, each version of windows, was more stable and more reliable and more secure than the last one
Well, 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 +... sums to 1 only. But you can actually never get 1. So if you want something more, sorry, adding some bit everytime can never satisfy your goal!
4. Many ads are made in Macromedia Flash nowadays, which is a bitch to render on old computers.
Yes....for my Linux box, I don't want to use the close-source flash player and some buggy Flash ad make my browser crash! So my way to do is to remove the flash plugin and use a separate viewer!
I am using a notebook, so, anyone have experience using X.org with synaptics (i.e. the driver for touchpad in notebook)?
My XFree86 works very well with synaptics indeed.
(1) Generate some 128-bit key and encrypt the content.
(2) Distribute.
(3) Announce your key at midnight.

Ummm.....Let me see....
First one...I don't care where the download is from but just what it is. So it is not a problem.
Second one...usually I don't open any news:// links, so it is not a problem either.
Third one...My home is 700, so it is also not a problem
So, why I need a fix?
If you produced something intented to be fake, you should tell the readers that it is fake.
If you produced something intended to be incomplete, you should tell the readers that it is incomplete.
So, if it is censored, you should tell the people that it is censored. Or otherwise they will reasonabily believe that it is not......
Therefore, Google, please respect your users and tell them the truth.
Instead of developing a new browser, I would like to see Google releasing the browser as a re-packaging of Mozilla.
Hence we can have one more standard-conforming browser and, by using the reputation and power of Google, to ask those "View only with IE" sites to change!
Think the architecture: Windows' application is all-in-one, when you have a word processor, you have spellchecker, font, colors, graphics manipulation, and much more *all in one piece*. But in Linux, I use VI to edit the source, ispell to do spell check, latex to generate a postscript, gv to preview my result and cups for printing. When my gv got problem, I didn't need to care about the ispell -- because I am so sure that it is not the cause of the problem! But in Windows, who knows? There are tons of interdependencies and a bug in one part will eventually cause problem on some other unthinkable parts. So the UNIX way is the divide-and-conquer game and it is the decent way to do things.
So, you can tell -- one should expect Windows porting to another architecture needs tons of work and much more costy in money and time.

That's the point! So I've been using Debian for so many years.

As title.
Absolutely agree!

Lee, come to Hong Kong to start a new Google Lab! Under Hong Kong's law, such agreement can hardly valid.
human ears are more of a source of piracy than recordable media and P2P networks!
without ears, nobody will priate RIAA sutff.
Luckily M$ is not the Almighty. Otherwise, we won't be born because we also have virus threat.
At this scenario, Java rules!

Wait a minute.....we have to pirate Linux??
