Hmm, I'm surprised no one has presented this before. (At least in my reading of slashdot, correct me if I'm wrong) That's pretty much the answer that would make the most sense, however, not the kind of profit they're looking for though.
I mean c'mon, c'mon!
...Why less and less people respect copyright these days. With people patenting, and copyrighting everything under the sun is it really any wonder why people don't give two shits about infringement? Hackers rule.
on patenting a patent that describes patenting a patent that has been patented by patenting a patent. Don't cry prior art either, because I've patented the patent on patenting a pantent on patenting a patent of refusing claims prior art, and I'll sue you!
I still don't buy the idea that socialized health care is a bad thing. I mean how many americans don't have health care period? With the downsizing of Corporate america healthcare is one of the first benefits to be lost. How can anyone argue that by the government controlling (as ideally as possible, of course I realize the detriments possible) that tax money should not care for the 'Health' of the citizens?
For chrissakes, is supporting the citizens of this country really so awful? I mean have you ever been to Europe? lived there? I felt more free, safe, and welcome there than I do in my own country (USA). I mean please tell me that by contributing to a social system that crime increases, people live on the street because they can't work, and health care goes to shit. And also tell me that this costs 90% of your income. Get real.
I agree that bush has to go, but I'd much rather have kerry raise taxes and maybe see us get something for those taxes. I'm a graduating student finding work to be less than desirable, no health care, and the lowest wages in recent history. Bush sucks ass.
I agree, for chrissakes how long is this going to continue? I mean it's one thing after the next, and so many americans these days are just trusting this blind faith "protection of freedom" what a load of horseshit.
How long until we start getting harrassed for simply stumbling upon sites? Popups anyone?
This country is quickly becoming what 1984 warned against, and apparently the GW administration keeps using that book as a guide.
I swear to God, this country is losing all freedoms that we are supposed to be protecting. What gives them this right? Who asked them to do all of this shit to begin with? When are people going to wake up and realize that they no longer have this "freedom"?
Land of the free indeed.
Has anyone considered the posibility that M$ is the one whom has posted the offending code to the tree in the first place? I mean, really, that would have been the perfect tool to drive away the consumers from this supposed "free" os?!?
The motive is there, and the ability, hmm, I wonder? What do you think?
Nokia is so embedded there, that they pay for everything with their phone, subway, etc. They can even pay their rent with their phone. The US is so far behind with cell phone technology it isn't even funny.
I mean really, we're still paying for incoming calls? What kind of crap is that?!?!?!?!

Bob has 2Gig of mp3s. Jane has 5Gig of mp3s. If they share via 1Gb/s (local) ethernet, they will quickly both have 8Gigs each.
Uhh, is that new math? I keep checking and rechecking, but 2+5 = 7 every time, are you sure about that one, winston?
Ha! They've been trying to get this administration to truly define a 'terrorist' period. Good luck with 'cyber-terrorist'!
Your guess is as good as anyone elses!
Hey at least there are plenty of jobs fixing problems with windows systems available ;)
mod parent up! My harvard law professor would be proud! Exactly correct sir. IANAL!
what's a girl to do?
Me.
I had to try, right?
What's the point?!?!?!

cmon, you Americans can't claim anyting without it being unilateral.
Wow, what an insightful point you've just made, that's the most useful post I've ever read on slashdot. I wish I had some mod points right now! Kudos.

Ha! Like that scene in Mars Attacks when the alien was chasing the humans, holding the translator device, "Do not run, we are your friends!!!!"
