Interesting, but according to Wikipedia it uses the same tracker servers as The Pirate Bay, and appears to be operated by Fredrik Neij (one of the group behind TPB).
I wonder what will happen if The Pirate Bay is closed down or turned into a site for legal torrents. A lot of the other torrent sites relies on the Pirate Bay tracker. What other large, public bittorrent trackers (not just.torrent mirrors) are there?
Sometimes I think Science Fiction is actually bad for real space exploration. We get people saying things like "Why is NASA dicking around with ISS and the Shuttle, they should get to Mars already". Well, you don't think we should practice being in space reliably for extended periods before setting out on a trip that takes years and any failure means the crew dies? But no, they skip over such details in SciFi so NASA should do the same.
Windows has a lot of security problems, but has any system ever been compromised through drag and drop? Is this a real security concern? Sure, if GIMP has a bug then a malicious image dragged from Firefox could exploit the bug to run code. But how is this different from saving the same file to disk in Firefox and opening in GIMP?
They may very well be misrepresenting the law in their own favor. Is as plain photograph of a public domain painting really copyrightable in the UK?
In any case, should a publicly funded institution really claim copyright of these photos when the won't let anyone else take photos of these old paintings?
A photographer working for the gallery itself took them. They do not allow visitors to take photos to protect their monopoly of reproductions of public domain paintings. In the US, a simple photo of a painting is not copyrighted because it has no original input. The gallery claims it is different in the UK, but who knows?
The Pirate Party has an English page here that describes the basics. It has gained a lot of support after they, together with bloggers etc, managed to drum up public opposition to a wiretapping law, a law forcing ISPs to store traffic data, new copyright enforcement laws and the Pirate Bay trial. It has been growing since 2006 and spreads internationally, but this is the first parliamentary seat.
Because it doesn't cost them _anything_ to give you more channels. You would still have to pay just as much for the few channels you watch. The shopping channels actually make money for the cable company.
As often, I think it depends it depends on what you are using them for. For standard geostationary communication satellites one big bird can replace several small. Government satellites often do something special and have a unique orbit.
The judge was found to be a member of SFU, whose list of supporting members is full of Swedish and European versions of MPAA and RIAA, as well as Microsoft.
He is also on the board of SFIR, the Swedish branch of AIPPI, an "intellectual property" lobby organization that for example has a resolution saying
It is recommended that all jurisdictions adopt rules in their IP law concerning contributory infringement of IPRs and that the basic principles be harmonised.
and
The IPR owner should be able to hold the contributory infringer liable in damages for any loss that is incurred as a result of the contributory infringement and is not otherwise recovered.
Which is exactly that the Pirate Bay trial was about.

They do care about getting shafted by DRM, and the adware that just about every Windows program comes with.
Not many netbooks seem to be sold with Linux any more, but there are many people installing it manually. A larger portion than other laptops I think.

Satellite technology has had commercial applications for decades.

What is the actual likelihood of the Streisand Effect happening though? How many cases of censorship are successful and never heard of?
Could you clarify why you think so?

Because then there will be no codec that plays everywhere, so website will prefer Flash video. We have had the embed tag for ages, but nobody uses it.
This may be news to you, but not everyone in Africa is starving.
Interesting, do you have any source for this?

Looks like bullshit to me.
now Steam's here, very soon there won't be such things as publishers!
Steam is a publisher.

There is a Journal of Negative Results in Speech and Audio Sciences. These are rare though.

Doesn't this come from the time when the hard drive really was a box on its own?
Probably waiting for Herschel to be finished so they could launched together.

Wouldn't they double their efforts anyway? Do spammers stop when they made "enough" money?
