Actually smoking pot, I believe, is still illegal in Finland. Nonetheless your point is well taken. With actions and speech being illegal as long as it is related to music is not music to any ear.
So I will repeat, the Internet is not broken. Don't fix it.
Not to offend you, but are you republican by any chance? (Coz you know republicans never listen during a debate and just keep ranting). Who said any thing about some thing being broken. Do yourself a favor and READ THE FUCKING ARTICLE. Internet is not broken, people are not trying to fix it. But what they are trying to do is to make sure that US is not the only country incharge of it. They have good reasons, do you want me to list it?
What do developing countries have to do with jack?
I am assuming you have heard of a country called India, which is a developing nation. If you still don't get it, then get out of your basement and watch the real world. We are not in 70s anymore.
rrrright, and you'd rather have control of a very important and integral communication medium of the world in the hands of trigger happy US. Its sad that Libya doesn't have a marketing team like US government. Mind you, I am not supporting Libya but blindly saying US is a saint is an overstatement at the same time. What if a cowboy in the govt decides to switch off all traffic to China or Iraq; you know if he doesn't do that terrorists have won!
Programming is the real weapon of the war to produce information and sort it
I disagree with that. Programming is probably a part of the weapon, but I would say the real weapon is sharp minds, strategy and the vision to implement it - read "architects". I have seen programmers who can type code at 80 wpm. But they almost always lacked the big picture. They are just that programmers. Not only google but almost all major companies look for that brilliant mind. There is a reason why Microsoft chose to ask riddles in a tech interview. Now whether that is the right way to gauge true potential is questionable. But nonetheless, programming is just like any spoken language (e.g. english), anybody can speak it; but what you need is a great mind to create poetry that influences lifes.
Doesn't apply to non-windows users. Mac fanatics are eager to pay to Itunes so they are not worried about them. Unix users are mostly serious about their work and they don't fuck around. That leaves linux community but they have DVDJon on their side. So RIAA and gang know that it is already cracked.
You know that now. But back when Netscape shipped its first browser most industry experts believed that Netscape would be the single biggest threat to Microsoft. Just like now, when you believe Google is a big threat to Microsoft (Yes, I know what you believe in!).
Microsoft is that it doesn't have to...it just has to acquire a company that can. As it's been said ad nauseum here by myself and others, Microsoft isn't about innovation...haven't been for a while...in fact, whether they ever were is a subject for debate.
As you said it yourself, Microsoft just needs to acquire a company that can mount a challenge against Google. But mind you, not just any company. That means Microsoft have to have enough foresight, shrewd busineess sense, a bit of luck and good understanding of the industry and its trends. Before Microsoft, I don't know of any company that solely survived on buying others and expanding. Seems like pretty innovative to me!
"Knowledge is Power" only when the knowledge is used properly. Similarly "Ignorance is Bliss" when it doesn't hurt you. Unfortunately, most of the society ignores the latter part of both those rules.
OK I don't get it. Why would any corporation fight for its consumers or customers unless it involves smoking or guns. Even in 1975, if Tivo existed, it would have played by Media company rules.

That would look better this way - "I believe the MySQL team will hopefully hold true to their word."
Ok, I get it - we are doing it over there so we don't have to do it here?
I agree with you partner. A true American would prepare to invade that country and spread freedom and liberty!
Who knows, may be they passed a law to make it possbile!
Hmmm...ever read their tabloids?

Please give me a break!
OK George you don't have to be an anon to defend yourself. We forgive you. Now tell me is a Blue Ray and UMD edition in the pipes too?
or a lack of common sense...Either way those scenes are nice ;)
There is a reason, thousands probably died and billions of dollars worth of damage. Can linux or MS match that level of damage?

D'oh!
Well you sent a gigabyte attachment with it. My system blocked it ;)

RTFA - it is voluntary at this point. Why the fuck do you wanna download it? Are you so self-rightheous? Then don't wait for it to be cracked!!!
Already did it! Thank god, the program was easy to use as the article said. I was worried may be it'd be complex and would prevent wide spread use!
Let me help you - .NET?

What am I missing here. How is campaign finance related to freedom of speech?
So I hope their content will be DRM free, right?
