Precisely. And to get there, all they need is to make all those Win9x and Windows 2000 machines out there stop working. While that's not possible, they sure can lock them out of the wild and wonderful future of pay-per-view locked down multimedia content.
Then, the same people who currently pay for cable TV and currently watch commercials can pay for a software subscription fee, pay for broadband, pay per view or otherwise rent "content." Then, after awhile, they can do all that and watch commercials.
The "Next Generation Secure Computing Base" makes all this possible. I still don't see, though, how it would be able to catch fire without legislation outlawing the general purpose computer.
You haven't read RMS' "Right to Read," I take it. If you have, and still only see the potential (and by no means assured) advantages of prolific DRM, I'm saddened.
I wonder if anybody at the MPAA has bothered to see "A Beautiful Mind"? If they did, they might realize that getting a piece of a really large pie is sometimes better than getting an entire small pie.
You're a janitor and you find a bag of crack in a desk where you work.
Fine, off the crack monkey goes, down the river (for committing a victimless crime, I might add). And you, Mr. Janitor, are fired for snooping in desks. Seems fair to me.
It takes my active intervention to prevent equilibrium - on the other hand, it takes my active participation to spread (and thus "free") any information.
Only the first time. After that, it only takes one of two peoples' intervention. And so on, and so on, and so on. (Like Churchill said, the only way two people can keep a secret is if one is dead.) The OP's argument may be pseudoscience, but I liked the analogy.
As long as there is a searchable Usenet archive, and the web itself is searchable, they won't be able to stop the propagation of lyrics by shutting down any one centralized lyrics repository. And this is good.
This action is only one more reason I only buy CDs used, unless they are from non-RIAA labels.
It doesn't have to mean people--et alia means "other things" (neuter) and et alii/aliae means "other people" (masc./fem.). The abbreviated form is the same, et al. Thanks for looking out for me, though:).
Anyone remember "Have my fax call your fax--we'll do lunch?"
Seriously, since computers have taken over many of the roles previously reserved for personal assistants, such as arranging meetings, et al, it only makes sense that they would start to become robotic facilitators of social interaction.
She wasn't maced for jaywalking, she was maced for being belligerent to a police officer making a lawful arrest--shame she wasn't killed; now she'll probably reproduce.
First off, full albums cost $9.99 no matter how many tracks. All you $.99 winers, notice this price ceiling drops the average track cost for many albums.
I've seen several counterexamples, the highest so far being $11.99.
Of course, if one were forging a hotmail.com address, it'd be cute to DDoS an enemy by including his IP address in an equally forged X-Originating-IP header.

Since you never litigated, and there's nothing either of you can do, no harm in naming the scum. What company?

That idea has been considered.
Was good then--but both AMD and Intel are members of the axis of evil, TCPA (or whatever they've called it this week to try to avoid the bad PR).
But it's not a commercial. Because NPR and PBS are commercial-free, by definition.
So I'm going to get their money's worth. Starting now.
You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Except for the license files you'll need to play it on a newer machine you might buy after the service died.
Same here. No matter what the nay-sayers say, I'm grateful for the service you all perform for your country.
They sold monitoring and censorship technology to the Chinese government, and weren't punished for it by the marketplace. So the chickens now come home to roost.
Because they intend to hire an H1B, and have to conduct a pro forma search for an American, which will (surprise) yield no qualified candidates.
To some degree, yes.

Bravo! I couldn't have said it better myself.
