So, if you upload copyrighted material to someone else's ftp in canada, *then* that would be distribution, but with p2p, it's the downloaders who are doing the copying, wich is legal? I hope this ruling stands, sounds pretty human freindly.
Thanks, from now on I shall tell people that helping the RIAA is helping child pornographers, ala the logic used in the anti-drug ad likening Marijuana purchasing to helping terrorists.
Crash it into antarctica? Then maybe it will accelerate penguin mutation rates, and if all goes well, we could teach the super intelligent mutant penguins linux!
I wasn't implying that you were mentally damaged btw hust to clear things up, just a commentary on what the world would become if people were to take heed of your advice.
As troll preferably. Denouncing meritless MS bashing is one thing. Pretending to be a voice of reason while spreading SCO fud is another(they aren't even claiming kernel coders stole thier code, just hinting at it in the media for fud/stock purposes, they are claiming that IBM contributed and written code is somehow theirs). And that tired old "I'll probably get modded down by these unjust mods" diatribe is really starting to annoy me. If you want to know why people are bias, you need only look at the succesful upmod you received. When something so blatantly a troll as this is gets modded up just because it's a semi-respectable sounding pro-MS post, the OSS fans(and apple etc.) feel justified in modding in an equally partisan manner. Every viewpoint here, not just the "linux zealots", are blatantly partisan at times, and you can't expect them not to be really when the other sides are as well.
Agreed. It's need to at least support plain text. My old palm may have a small screen and low res, but it can display nearly any document with the correct software, and it's backlight is handy too.
Apple can have as many sales as they want. *I* just won't be buying something that can't play my music library. I for one was only takling about what I would buy, and because of compatability it was a RIO karma. It's not like people were hoping apple will fail, they actually wanted to support apple, but were left no ability to do so.

There's always meteor impacts, unstoppable plagues, nuclear devastation, and other doomsday scenarios that we have to gamble our survival on. And btw, mine, and many other atheists wish for human space travel is based upon survival of the species, and the increasing of knowlegde.
The only problem there though is, how do we know they aren't paying the MS tax on the hardware anyway, as part of a contract. The (even a little) lower price reassures me than I'm not lining Gates' pockets. And an added bonus of a lower price, it will increase the chances that people will get the linux model, thus potential new linux users.
Because , if somebody REALLY needs the functionality of the product, they would buy the windows version, even if they prefer mac, so adobe would loose money by allowing the mac version to be free.
Hey, I'm just a conservative about copyrights. We didn't have them back in the good ole days, they aren't in the bible, thus they don't belong in my country you. Copyrights are for liberals, they aren't natural.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the RIAA suing people who are illegally distributing their product.
I'd say you are the one being foolish and purposely stoic .
Surely you realise that copyrights and lawsuits etc. aren't some divine thing that everybody recognizes and accepts as "the one way". You must know there are people on this earth with different mores, values, laws, beliefs, etc. in which there would be *at least* something wrong with the current antics of the riaa.
Actually, when a story is new, the modding is in fact decidedly pro-MS. And it later tips the other way as the story gets older. Wierd phenomenon. conspiracy> maybe someone is paying for people to do this/conspiracy

"or at least we don't want to have to look at masses of wires all over our skyline." They still don't have power in australia yet?

At least 1/3 of people I know who've modded their xbox, use it only as a media playing machine, not for pirated games.

Check this out. I can't beleive that somebody actually payed that much money for a lame prank.
Fucking hypocritcal Reds, they are all touchy feely environmentalists, except when it comes to longevity treatments for themselves.

Would you like fries with your lobotomy?
Blissfully ignorant isn't the be all and end all, sometimes you need a functioning "real world" too.
The low-end model is only 240$, high-end is 480$. Prices here.
I can finally use the phoenix browser again, it's still my favorite name for the software.

How is MP3 open? Isn't there some company that liscences it?

Exactly! The EU(and the world) needs to free the OEM's from such anti-competetive contracts that MS forces them into.

Wonder how many people use OpenNIC? I for one do, partially because my ISP's dns servers are constantly down.

Or as non-zealots would put it: "That way you're not used to a decent GUI, so you'll accept anything."
That certainly explains how people can stand the windows GUI.
Is it illegal to have a laptop that has a "damaged" and unreadable serial number?
