Of course it won't play on Ipods. Apple has made it clear they don't want Ipods to support any other formats. They proved this when they threatened Real who tried to provide Ipods users with a CHOICE of music provider. DRM is getting pushed by not only copyright owners but the distributers/hardware manufactors who can lock customers into their platform. DRM of any kind is joke and will be used to as a business method to hold on to a monolopy.
Support non DRM music providers like Emusic which allow users the freedom to choose which hardware their music plays on.
Its so easy to get around the "revoked license" part of the GPL. Just download a new copy of GPL project, and it has a new license agreement(new contract). Agree to terms(in your head) and now your covered under the law by a new agreement/license. If the author adds text to agreement that says "so and so entity cannot license project", go find an older version of it that has the former agreement. GPL is so flawed and adds restrictions, use BSD license which grants more freedoms. MYSQL AB is my proof.
An End user decides to sell his computer that has GPL software(binaries) installed on it. Falls under the redistribution part of the license agreement of the GPL and source must be provided other end user is violation of agreement. Seriously you guys are so blinded, the GPL isn't giving you rights, its adding restrictions. BSD license gives you rights.
Sure looks looks like EULA to me. I bet you may even find the same sentences if you diff it to the other EULAs. I'd post the sections that say we aren't liable for whatever but they are all in caps and i can't get around with the slashdot's filter. And eula can add rights, I could write an eula that say, "this object is free with out any restrictions(like the bsd license)". GPL doesn't add rights, instead of payment in cash, you pay in bandwidth and other work that may get infected with the GPL disease(viral and all). BSD License and similiar adds rights with one restriction, i can't touch the license agreement text.
And here's killer to your arguement for adding rights, MySQL AB. If i need to explain it, you obviously have no clue.
Can you use Excel? Yes - if you can use open office oocalc.
You're joking right? Most powerful/useful feature in excel are pivot tables, anyone who knows excel knows pivot tables. OOCalc doesn't have a decent matching feature for pivot tables(DataPilot is a joke). So claiming you know how to use excel because you know to use oocalc, would be like claiming you know how to use vi because you use pico. Good try though.

you are running. "
For $1500 I can get a great laptop, then use the $900 for a vacation package to Hawaii. I'm quite amazed what people will blow their money on, looking at quality surverys for cars. You'd think the higher priced cars are the ones with better quality. Its quite funny to see Jaguar, Land rover, and porsche at the bottom of list below hyundia and Daewo. I guess if you need to burn you money, go right ahead. You can buy your 20" Apple LCD monitor which has less quality than the dell 20" while the dell is less than half the price. Review.
x86-64 is a crappy 64 bit hack onto the x86. I wouldn't call it innovating, ms picked it because it was only architecture that could run 32bit x86 decently.
No the difference there is Microsoft bought hotmail and had to port it to the NT platform. Apple built the online store from scratch and chose solaris.
According to the article, Microsoft only asked for the images to be removed. Unlike the blurb that says Micrsoft demanded them removed with a legal notice. Gotta love slashdot.
Asking someone to remove something and sending out a legal threat is entirely different. Oh wait this is slashdot and the blurb never matches whats in the actual article.
Windows media is bundled with windows but how many people downloaded winamp? Netscape lost because their product sucked. It wasn't till firefox came out that consumers had a decent free alternative(sans ads like opera) which is why we see firefox's market share increasing.
I wrote irc script that claimed to hack irc ops. It was quite simple. It just printed out, you are now an ircop. And when the user type/kill anotheruser, it would simple hide any output that contained the nick of the person he thought he killed. Quite funny as it fooled a lot of people. A good trick i saw, was ftp.warez.org resolved to 127.0.0.1. So you tell people to find warez there.
Apple is slow. How long did it take them to adapt to PCI? How Long did it take them to adapt to USB? How long idid it take them to adapt to SATA? Try back in a year and they'll have PCI-Express.
Businesses end up removing the RBL. Nothing like pissed off execs screaming at you after they find out the company smtp server is blocking AOL and 15% of the customer base. If your running a personal email server, sure who cares if you block aol. Like any of your friends use aol. But blocking emails from the world largest isp from emailing your business will result in lost revenue. AOL users won't complain to AOL, they'll just go to the next business on the list.
Like the president. You can CHOOSE what software you want to run and what you don't. Thats freedom. Being able to see source isn't freedom, nor a right. Its priviledge that person who writes the software can grant or not. And its his freedom to CHOOSE.
There's two licenses for mysql, OpenSource and Commercial. You stated you paid nothing for your license of mysql, and installed it on a client machine therefore you infringed on the copyrights of MySql AB and GPL license that they granted you. You also put your client at risk of legal action.

Great artist like
Ray Charles

All DRM free mp3s.
How about paying $13 a month and not being able to choose your music?
Support non DRM music providers like Emusic which allow users the freedom to choose which hardware their music plays on.

Or you can wait for a sale/coupon and get same computer for $700 with a 19" lcd. Or upgrade to $24" lcd for $750(with coupon).
