This is probably the only way something can be done about it since the sites are outside of US influence.
I don't think this is a censorship issue unless it continues on to other things. I think we can safely say that a line can be drawn against child porn.
Comparing software to a Ferrari is a bad one. Only a limited number of Farrari's are going to be made. Another copy of software can be made just about for free.
If some kid is learning how to use a program that he never could afford to buy, I don't see how that harms the sale of that software. It might actually help sales in the long run. Why do you think there is an acedemic version of Maya that you can download for free? It's watermarked, but so what? More companies ought to do this.
It seems like companies today want to just control everything instead of actually making money. How do you think AutoDesk got into the monopoly position there in now? That's right, back in the day there were a lot of pirate copies of AutoCAD floating around.
I don't know about statistic's. They can lie as we all know. I personally have file shared less and bought less CD's since the downturn. If the price of CD's were the same or lower than they were, I would buy your argument, but they are in fact higher in price. I'm also buying into the DVD and Video games cutting into that as well, but it is still economics. If the prices were to drop to about $6.99, then sales would shoot thru the roof. I'm not sure that if DVD's cost $14.99 at Wally World, why I would want to pay $16.99 for a CD? It seems to with price. At $16.99, I'm buying none. At $6.99, I'm buying 30 CD's. Raising the prices of CD's during a downturn and then too say file sharing is the problem for slow sales ignores basic economics.

Not if it was alien and was hiding on the moons' dark side. It also might be a giant prism of some sort. Oh well back to OZ.
Yes, we have people who like to tear stuff up too. That's why we give them cheap printers. The ink might be expensive but they don't do all that much anyhow. I might have to rethink this because of everyone printing useless colour pics.
Is it a wave, is it a particle?? Is it the spaces or the electrons that is flowing in a wave or not? I do know that it IS slower than the speed of light. Maybe someone could post a link to some up to date theory of electronics or something?
--Besides the obvious mining of lunar ores, the first likely commercial uses will be the advantages offered by the moon's location and the vacuum of space. That vacuum is far better than any that can be created in labs and manufacturing facilities on Earth, for instance. There is also the isolation.

What about getting the biological stuff to the moon? - DUH. Couldn't the rocket have a chance of exploding and releasing the bio or radio active material?
Also, why do they need to convince people that we have already went to the moon? I lived in Florida back in the day many miles from Kenedy Space Center, and yet we could still see that Saturn 5 rocket. I have been to the space center, inside the vehicle assembly building. It is all to massive and real to be fake.
This article sounds like a lot of marketing to me.
I have a TI that has the leeters too. I think it died about 7 years ago. It had LED's and ate batteries for breakfast. I just use the free ones that are on the web now.
Buy 2 mid tower cases. Remove paint with sand blaster. Braze 2 cases together. Sand joint smooth. Re-paint. Call it one case and be done. Just be carefull that it doesn't have that bolted together look or you might get caught but I doubt it.
Yes, think of it. "Beaming", This would eliminate cars, pollution, roads, etc. Everything could just be beamed someplace. I'm still working on the power source for it though and little more government funding would be nice too.

There is no parole for fed time. You gotta serve it. So by your stats he would roughly serve the same time as Sexual Assault. Bummer.

There is a line there somewhere.
If not, then why the hefty sentence? Did anyone make any money, I guess is what I saying?
User skill could also increase because of this.
It just a western in space.
Klingons = Indians
Kirk = Sheriff
A little bit of WWII is in there too.
Enterprise.
All of the plots have been done already. It's just a different setting. It is very rare to see a new plot. All you get is a new twist.
I read that part. I just didn't know what actual cost might be. $79 just seemed too cheap for some reason for a transmitter and reciever.
Anyhow, maybe I missunderstood. I thought it delivered that via wireless. I could see $79 for the PC end. If that is for both, cool!
Wireless! I wonder what the catch is? I bet it will cost a bundle. What about DRM? I didn't read any thing about that.

It's the economy stupid. That's the reason for the drop. Plus there is a lot of crap that sounds the same. It's not the pirates.
Yes,
There is nothing new to be covered here. Why not go on and be done with it? It is depressing to watch.

No, not unless it affected sometthing I did. I would gladly take the game for their fu-bar since I don't have it.

What's up with M$ adverts on /.
??
Yes,
It is slowing up a bit.
The M$ kernal would just look like a bowl of pasta.
In the good ole USA you can sue anyone you want.
How about Egg Orbit?
Wasn't that a Skynyrd song man? Looks like what comes around goes around. I'm tired of hearin that same old song.
