But if you got some scissors and cut little rectangle shaped holes in the appropriate place, you could make the disks themselves double sided. You'd still have to turn them over though, yeah.
I'd imagine Tarkin's been put on hold until Theora's finalised. Seeing as Theora's meant to be a stop-gap solution before Tarkin, that'd certainly make sense. Get something good out as soon as possible, and something great out when it's ready.
That depends on what you mean by bad... in my experience, not all BitTorrents are illegal, but most will require you to reset your router a bunch of times... (Yeah, I still think it's worth it for a protocol that makes you give back while you take, but just saying...)
If governments like the US's only care about companies, not the people, and companies only care about their shareholders, not their customers, you can pretty much work out the rest with logic. Paranoia's then pretty redundant.
Klik'N'Play was similar, but you could make any games with it, which made it a bit more complex. The great thing about SEUCK was that pretty much anyone who had a C64 and a joystick could make (admittadely bad) games in seconds and maybe even good ones after a few months:)
Um, isn't Bush illiterate? (Stupid White Men has fairly convincing points with regards to this). I'm guessing that'd inherently make em computer illiterate too, as even GUIs use a lot of words once you're in the programs. So I'm guessing ey doesn't use word processors or anything.
Saturday Night Live? If that sketch is what it sounds like, it was pre-Python. I forget who performed it originally (At Last, the 1948 show?), but it had some of the Python members in it, if I recall correctly.
However, under Roddenberry, we were at least guaranteed a cohesive Star Trek universe.
I wouldn't say that to a Klingon (spikey feet or just plain goatee?), but then again, if I met a Klingon, I'm sure I'd have more problems on my hands than etiquette:) (Like, wondering what happened to reality...)
One simple method is to vary the frames on which the "Do not distribute, blah blah blah" caption appears.
That sounds like a good idea at first. I mean, maybe the "do not distribute" caption could have a unique number written on it instead or something, for simplicity...
But wouldn't most people copying films leave out that message? Copying something saying "please do not copy" seems a little silly. Personally I'd replace that message with an advert saying how the RIAA is killing the independent movie industry or some other propaganda to counteract theirs, but I guess that's why I'm not a bootlegger:)
From what I read in Free as in Freedom, RMS was really after eir time: ey grew up with the freedom to get any program's source code, modify it and use it (see the relatively famous printer story), then saw those freedoms being taken away, and decided not to participate in taking away those freedoms.
Ogg Vorbis loses an mp3 competition? But it's trying to replace the mp3 format (or at least co-exist with it). It's not a piece of software or hardware that uses the mp3 format.
For some reason, this kinda reminds me of when RMS got a Linus Torvalds award, or something similar.:)
If the new DVD formats being recommended aren't as 'open', and do not present a sizeable improvement over the current resolution of existing DVDs, I don't think that one conglomerate will be able to 'force' the market place into accepting a new tech.
I didn't think most consumers cared much about anything other than price, picture quality and sound quality. All the non-geeks I've spoken to haven't even heard of different regions and don't know which DVD region they live in, let alone care about price fixing and encrypted content that can't legally (or is it legal now? I've lost track) be viewed on free players. Which is a shame, as I'd like to see the next big format use Ogg Theora or Tarkin, but it's not going to happen, sadly...

Actually, IIRC the 1541 was single-sided
But if you got some scissors and cut little rectangle shaped holes in the appropriate place, you could make the disks themselves double sided. You'd still have to turn them over though, yeah.
It even includes the attempt to eat a usb pen drive, several cops and...
Diet tip of the day: never try to eat cops. That whole pig motif's just a cunning lie.
As opposed to the good side?
Sounds like MUD Shell, only graphical.

not all P2P distribution is inherently bad

Are you building a technology that can arguably be used for Porn? If the answer is "yes" then build it! If not, don't bother.
So there's still hope that Ogg Theora may be used for something? Woo!
for those of you who don't know, 'genesis' is the north american term whilst 'mega drive' is the UK (and european?) term
Mega Drive was also the original Japanese name, but they had to change it in the US due to someone already having a copyright on that name.
Paranoia anyone?
If governments like the US's only care about companies, not the people, and companies only care about their shareholders, not their customers, you can pretty much work out the rest with logic. Paranoia's then pretty redundant.
Because everyone loves cyborg lesbians!
You'd probably prefer Excel Saga then.

...but what about the ever more popular Shoot-'Em-Up Construction Kit? Everyone I knew who had a C64 made at least three or four simple games on it.
The poem isn't a circumvention device since it is not executable or compileable.
As opposed to t-shirts?

So one big group of companies sues these people, then another big company (oppressive regimes, experimenting on animals) uses these people in an advert for sugar-water.
Just what does it take for people to stop liking big companies?

...why is Drukqs a corrupt "copy protected" CD in Germany? Was it re-mastered by another company beyond Warp's control or something?
Unless the director chooses to use lots of narration, which could ruin a film.
What, like Fight Club? (yes, that was sarcasm, before a bunch of David Fincher fans flame me).

This guy has probably done more than he is accused for
You mean more than owning something that "looked like explosives" and some crystals? (At least, this is according to the documentry Freedom Downtime ).
