Suddenly the DVD industry would have to deal with people stealing movies, like stealing cable. Then all the movie companies would die off, like cable companies have, and the DVD would be as extinct as cable!
Ironically, if they make the standards open, they can export powerful enough crypto to prevent cracking.
People only have so much money, particularly students. Ten albums will rake up a bill of $150. Many, such as myself, are boycotting the industry. They couldn't've sustained their previous momentum forever, and pissing a lot of people off didn't help.
As for the morality of copying music, I'd rather copy the music I want than send money into a legal fund that's attacking children and the elderly.
The RIAA's inflated numbers have to be re-interpretted as well. iTunes hurts CD sales, as does tuition and rent. A song copied is not a song not bought, many people steal ten or a hundred times the music they would've bought, and many continue to buy CD's.
Everyone knows the good issues of Popular Science are long gone. Remember projects/experiments, rather than just news? Yeah, Popular Mechanics used to have them too, ones relating to mechanics.
Printed news is now effectively obsolete, they don't even stay curren on the happenings in Soviet Russia like slashdot does.
But to OS X's credit, it's GUI sucks in the pursuit of being "shiny". Windows is still proud of supporting the overlapping windows feature that it was a bit late to deliver...
The earth is blocking light from hitting the moon. Is this an IBM ad that we're supposed to interpret as Linux blocking any money from hitting SCO's stupid sphere-logo?
Without those taxes, poor Principal S. would make only $100,000/year instead of the $147,000/year he has become accustomed to.
Without those taxes, the high school football team might not be able to afford new lockers this year, instead waiting until next year.
Without those taxes, Echelon/Carnivore might have been made by Microsoft, and be less efficient in their violations of our right to protection from unreasonable search and seizure.
Without those taxes, Iraq might not get the money Bush wants to give it, and every last one of us would have $300 left in our pockets not taken as taxes.
I'd love to see the government cut back to a mandatory 5% tax for the state and 5% tax for the nation on all income, with absolutely no taxes on anything else. Maybe then they'd stop trying to tax every last thing.
- G5 vs. Opteron, ok
- OS X vs. Windows, where are the winshit improvements?
- Linux vs. Windows, where are the winshit improvements?
- Mozilla/Firebird/Thunderbird vs. IE/Outlook, No more IE releases until 2005, no more Outlook Express releases.
The competition is one-sided in that Microsoft "ownz0rs" the desktop market. They can hold out for that long without anything new to throw in. In two years, they'll come along with a few new shiny tricks. Their software will still suck, but they won't lose any significant portion of the low-end market.
By coincidence, I do plan to name my kids in hex. Leet-speak would make them look like wimps, while 6cea would certainly make my kid the coolest throughout school.
but the author's point was that Symantec isn't allowing whitelisting of sites or an option to be asked to show ads on a particular site, thus supporting the site's maintainer.
If anyone buys adspace on my site, I might care. Until then, feel free to block them. I don't see any ads in Linux, OpenBSD, etc. VIM's "poor children in uganda" ad probably isn't paying any bills. We don't make this stuff for money, we make it to ease karma for all the free software we use. The web needs to figure out a similar model, if one exists.
We'll start by killing off all the virus writers, then move on to those evil "Linux hackers". Eventually, we'll run out of those people. The Jews/Chinese/Japanese/(insert race here) will probably be next, followed by Mac users, etc.
Eventually, we'll just be left with people whose VCR's don't flash "12:00". They'll be put to work building the next great virus-free software empire with Visual Basic and Javascript.
Sun never bothered to port their UltraSparc beowulf-like clustering system to X86, and they stopped ripping off Linux code after the whole ethernet module fiasco a few years ago.
On my shelf. Tablets without keyboards simply suck, and no change in OS can fix that.
Now that I rarely use removable drives, opting for NFS instead, a hybrid might be a good idea. When you get to the price, you end up choosing between one hell of a desktop and a slow portable
I'm using zsh, the one that's inifitely ahead of the best M$ can ever hope for. It'll even auto-complete path names on remote systems without mounting those systems over NFS or Samba.
IBM expects the Unix offshoot to be more popular than its own version of Unix, called AIX
The truth is that AIX isn't entirely IBM's property, and Linux is not Unix. I guess SCO has an operative inside of zdnet.
Funny how Apple makes supercomputers with IBM's chips while IBM makes supercomputers with AMD's chips. Sun is starting to us x86 and Sparc64 chips despite its own UltraSparc line. HP dropped the Saturn chip for ARM. Can anyone afford their own chips these days?
It looks like they're bs'ing their way through mapping the registry to drive letters, much like exporer sees ftp websites. It's nothing like UNIX's marvelous/etc/ feature. If we had anything as ugly as a registry, it would be in/proc/
Commies can review the Windows source code, while I cannot. M$ refuses to let me on the grounds that I will find security problems.
Products and operating systems are unique by nature, each with their own benefits and drawbacks. Any good security arrangement will avoid Windows like the plague.
Security as a process is important, but a strong foundation will make static security possible.
If you accuse me of being a thief, while knowing that I am not, I have the right and the duty to call you a slandering jerk.
This situation is no different.
don't you read telephone manuals!?

C# 2.0 Spec Released

It's Sea Octalthorpe. I would've called it ++C, but that implies that something is actually more advanced than C.
Honestly why should one bother? It's neither portable nor natively executable. It's neither scalable to embedded systems nor to high-end servers. It has neither legacy code nor a bright future.
Mono is a good start, but M$ will fight it when it starts to show results..NET's pupose is not to allow Windows software to run on other platforms, but rather to help M$ capture more platforms. It's doomed from the beginning, and will be another forgotten buzzword within a few years.
I like Java, I like C, and I like C++. Each of them rock and suck in different ways.

iTunes is still crippled, and more importantly, it still funds terrorism(RIAA).

xscreensaver has bluescreens, amiga crashes, sad apples, kernel panics, and more goodies! More importantly, your crashes won't disturb others.
Sun never bothered to port their UltraSparc beowulf-like clustering system to X86, and they stopped ripping off Linux code after the whole ethernet module fiasco a few years ago.
Hence, no X86 clustering support with Solaris.
