if Google decides to finally stand on its principles and other companies like Microsoft and Yahoo don't follow along, it should regain a lot of standing in many people's eyes.
Neither Microsoft or Yahoo have absurd company mottos legally binding them to moral behavior.
The whole idea of DRM is fundamentally flawed. Encryption works when 2 parties want to communicate without allowing a 3rd party to monitor the communication. DRM is designedd so that one party encrypts something and then sends it to another party and says "Ok, only decrypt this using a black-box decryption algorithm". The only thing stopping someone from reverse engineering the decryption algorithm and copying the music is the DMCA.
In Germany it is not possible to sell your copyright--the concept just doesn't exist in their law
That actually makes a lot of sense if you think about it. It ensures that the artists maintain control over their work and not the industries that profit from their talents.
Nothing that the Pirate Bay serves up is actually copyrighted, since it's just.torrent files.
Well, if they were made in the US, the torrent files probably ARE copyrighted, unless the creators of the torrents explicitly released them into the public domain.
Don't think for a minute that Dems wouldn't do the same thing if they were in power and the Repubs would be bitching about it.
You're missing the important distinction. The democrats would raise taxes to fund the illegal wiretapping, whereas the the republicans don't raise taxes and fund it by sinking our country deeper into debt.
FTDMCA: No person shall circumvent a technological protection measure that effectively controls access to a work
The contents of this AT&T document is being protected by Security Through Obscurity. And as we all know, Security through obscurity has never effectively controlled access to anything.
Inferno can run as a standalone OS on a machine with as little as 1MB of memory, but also runs as a virtual OS on top of most major operating systems. Similar to plan9, it abstracts virtually all OS services into files so that almost everything is accomplished through reading/writing. Programs are written in Limbo, a language similar to C, and compiled into a portable bytecode for JIT-compilation upon execution.
The archetecture itself is useful mainly for embedded, distributed, and grid-based systems.
The world needs something that is platform agnostic, like Java, but it needs to be free of corporate interests.
It's kind of unrealistic to expect software to be free from corporate interests. Even FOSS utilites that aren't directly tied to a corporation are still tied to the interests of corporate linux distributors.
Wind over IP is one of the great technological triumphs of our time
Alternately, you can send IP Over wind by way of avian carriers. Just be sure to run a virus scanner on your incoming packets to ensure they don't get the bird flu.
Why don't you blame the temp recpetionist for playing a music CD, instead of the amoral, multinational corporation that placed a piece of malignant software, designed to cripple the way a computer works on said music CD.
Clearly it's her fault the rootkit was on the computer. She wouldn't have infected anything if she had just downloaded the CD like a normal person.
Unless it has major advantages in youth/adult life.
Actually, the adult form of the disease, the Adult Infant Death Syndrome (AIDS) is much worse. Those who do survive have a very difficult life ahead of them.
When sun provides something of substance to the free software community, I will say something of substance. But as long as they keep trolling, so will I.

That's unlikely, since LAPP is such a crappy acronym.
Russia is setting up to be a pretty big economic power.

Because an elevator with only one button has massive usability issues for anyone who's ever used a regular elevator.
Maybe you need a more Universal OS.

Based on that, I'd say the odds are good that he didn't actually drink it.
The archetecture itself is useful mainly for embedded, distributed, and grid-based systems.
Maybe it's buggy because you're writing it in PHP.
It's kind of unrealistic to expect software to be free from corporate interests. Even FOSS utilites that aren't directly tied to a corporation are still tied to the interests of corporate linux distributors.
That being said, I'd also like to point out that there is a completely FOSS-licensed cross-platform development environment available.

So, use vi or emacs as an editor and use bash as the IDE.
I don't know about the laptop, but the owner certainly did.

It'll be a cold day in hell before Sun releases the source code to any software that people actually use.

Why should I run plan 9 as a standalone OS when I can just run inferno on top of linux?
Because it'll be a cold day in hell before Sun releases the source code to any software that people actually use.
I think he did. But in all seriousness, he really didn't.
