    They dont have to make a profit, just offest the costs. Doesn't mean they have to make back all $2 mill, but $200k would be noticable.

    The added support cost for the software clients would also go into improving thier own software, for their own company, so its hard to say that its too much work.

    If the marketshare is soo close, then you are giving a benefit to direct competitors. opensource isn't happening.

    If you are really serious you can take the project on your own using your personal knowlege to make something on your own and see how much support you get from it. If you get alot then you can use that as an argument to compete with this other open source project otherwise you will never get any clients to buy your companies. Then maybe they opensource it and charge for support.

    I was wondering if there is no really good robotics because the "robot geniuses" are uninspired to replace the human laborer. In the end it will only mean a larger gap in the economy between the haves and have nots. We have reached a technological point along time ago where we really dont have to work nearly as hard as we do now to live a happy life. But this status symbol in democracy, and tryant instinct in communisim keeps holding us back. In the end robotics will help only give those with power even more power.

    From what I can renember eclipse was crap for using standard windows shortcut keys. So yea, maybe adobe took one look at the macromedia team and told them to F/OSS off. Keep them from getting fired and grouping together to make a competing svg product. I was thinking I should get farther away from flash now that adobe owns the realm. But thinking back about all the little bugs in flash dreamweaver and fireworks that were never fix in 6 years. Maybe I'd actually be interested in their next version.

    This is not feasable. I'd pay $20 for a 1.4" color screen to play with on its own. There has to be a deposit to make sure they are recycled by the right people. So the $20 includes the ability to get the data back out? Pay $80, get $60 back when you turn the case in, that I can see happening.

    I'm pretty convinced it was sony. Not that it means anything but i'd And I really feel like this is a breaking point for me. I want my damn movies. I'm tired of people getting up and switching DVD's, I refuse to pay for "technology" to manually flip disks in a 1950's jukebox when what I want is to just read that data once, store it, and put it back in its nice DVD sleeve.

    I'm not going to be held back like this.

    They thing this will push back the massess well frankly FUCK THAT. I was thinking of T-shirts that said "Save DVD-Decryptor" or something like that. But fuckit, its too late for protest this is motherfucken war! TOMOROW i'm printing a T-SHIRT thats says "ASK ME HOW TO COPY DVD'S I WILL SHOW YOU IF YOU PROMISE TO SHOW YOUR FRIENDS."
    I thought it was funny with the whole "will program for food" sandwich sign in front of fry's but now I want to burn a stack of wallet CD's with the deceased decryptor on file with instructions on different front ends like media portal, stand in front of wall-mart and make a difference. If someone can please make a myth tv on knoppix that actually works without a config and will backup DVD's.

    I'm not offering free tanks anymore. I'm enlisting for the army of freedom. I'm going to wal mart this month, i'm bringing a camera to show its not that hard to do so others can try if they are interested. I'm spending at an hour there handing out CD's.

    Judging by the sound of his final post he is a little too scared to try something like that. Whatever the letter said, looks like it scared him good. Maybe they etched it in his car or something. This is the one time i'd love to hop on paypal to donate to his cause but there is nothing to fight. He is folding and I can't blame him, I kinda always imagined he was preparing for this fight but maybe not. But it sounds like he is willing to give up his rights so easily maybe he could just pass on his knowlege to someone else who wants to take it to the streets.

    Maybe someone just needs to make a cvs that works with freenet so a project can't really get shut down, might be a benefit enough for these loner coders to make thier source public. Before if they published it they would have the risk of getting shut down AND someone else stealing their work and making a slightly better interface for it. Need to establish a loose user based to keep the crap out. But seems like a much smarter idea then trying to use freenet for media type files.

    Maybe if the offending code was hosted offshore and never imported. You send the data to a hosted provider where the data is modified in the country where the proccess is illegal. Then the *clean* data is shipped back. Might be functional for DVD backup because I assume most of the encryption is a fraction of the video size.

    Last I reacall FBI has no problem raiding a country if they dont like the data stored on their servers. Which isn't all the FBI's fault, they would certanly have asked permission first. But maybe this is close enough to legal for the hosted country to say, "stay out".
