Hey Coyote....let us know when you've made something useful to thousands of people with your own two hands, and start giving it away for free...Sure, there's some folks out there - Linus, other linux devs, etc...but funny, I doubt you're any of those types...
Your words make you seem like you're just a huge pirate and you are expressing your perverted viewpoints.
If someone creates a piece of software...or music...or whatever, and decides to sell it, who are you to say that they can't make money off of it? I can somewhat agree, if I were to go out into Central Park, and sing an original song...and someone were to record it, and release it on the net, that that possibly could be considered "in the public domain"....but beyond that....
Well, now, hopefully companies will include activation cards inside the box that you have to call a number the company provides, speak to a rep, give your info, state that you agree to the license, then you get a reg key.
I only wish a lot of software would do this - would keep a lot of idiots from making my job tougher because they don't know crap, or are using pirated software.
I guess if Novell can't make money in the real world anymore, they gotta try suing people to try and make their bottom line look better.
WordPerfect was great, before they came out with the Windows version. Once that happened, WordPerfect blew more chunks than a crackwhore with a beer-bong.
Ah well...I'm sure the MS haters will love this one too.

...that most online poker is much less skilled than the face to face that is out there in the world. Mainly because a lot of folks don't view money they use online as money out of their pockets or something.
People see the likes of Chris Moneymaker, etc, go through, win big, never to be heard from again, and think that they too can do it.
At least poker requires SOME skill, unlike the lottery, but the odds of a random scrub making it big is very small. As the saying goes "even the sun shines on a dog's ass from time to time"
And well, you Canadians also have that nice VAT added onto everything you buy....that also goes to help pay for all those costs. Also, if you're not sick on the verge of death, you get to wait in line forever...but yes, it's free.
I hate to tell you this, but the problem with x86 has always been Windows. The BSOD was not built in at chip level. I'm writing this on a Linux box that hasn't been rebooted since March.
And my Win XP machine which I use for gaming hasn't been rebooted since January or so...I even have a Win NT server on a dual processor box that's been up for almost 2 years now...runs our email, SQL server, print servers, etc...
While they have an understandable concern with ensuring the accessability of the school network, the rights of the students to use the unlicensed 2.4GHz spectrum in the privacy of their own apartment are obviously being regulated by a body that is not the FCC.
The comment above from the original poster seems to be a bit on the daft side. Sure, it's unlicensed. However, they are providing access to the school network. They aren't infringing on any rights of students by protecting their own network.
If it were me, I'd have said "get rid of them, or you can pay our internal security guy $200/hr, with 2 hours minimum, plus cost of hardware, to come out and install our own wireless AP in your place"
It's stupid, uninformed, biased crap like the original comment above that makes people look more, and more stupid as time goes by.
That paints a rather different picture, doesn't it? Based on these figures, the USA appears to be more overextended than Argentina, not less.
Well, if the rest of the world that owes us money would ever pay it back, perhaps it wouldn't look so glum. But of course those figures don't take into account the CHARITY the US passes around the world...no, of course not.
See, my problem is this. He can do his whole subscription thing - I don't care. He can ban his paying customers - he doesn't care.
However, to get the source code to his perpetual "betas" you are now asked to pay him $50 per release, for a CD to be mailed to you. Now, today, he's on version X, tomorrow on x.0.0.0.1 - if you want the source for x.0.0.0.1, you have to fork out another $50 to him.
Will someone just pay him his farking $20, then pay him his farking $50 to get the source, and then someone setup a sourceforge project for it so we can shutdown this scumbag?
Contrast this with CBC and BBC which cover entire events regardless of who wins or loses.
Easy to say when Britain sends what, a quarter of the atheletes that the US sends? Besides, a good Brit will drink to anyone - us Americans are more patriotic.
Speaking of which - is there going to be a weapon-dropping contest this year? Or how about an "I surrender!" shouting contest? You know, we have to have SOMETHING that the French and Iraqis are good at!:P
I honestly, hopefully, truthfully, can't wait for there to be a significant market share of Linux systems out in the world...Then all the virus and worm and trojan writers will all start writing stuff against it and you will all see...
I know many might say that employers own the intellectual property that you generate while working for them, but I don't agree. If I develop something innovative whiile working there, it's mine. If I come up with a solution for a problem am I supposted to forget the solution and never use it again if I go elsewhere?
Let them sue me. Hard to get water from a stone.
Depending on the terms of whatever you may have signed when you became an employee. But obviously you seem too high and mighty to believe that. As far as getting water from a stone - it's not really that hard - if it were to ever happen, you'd just be living in a crappy trailer on 8 Mile, while pulling in 50k and never seeing much of it.
Mac OS X Tiger offers a new search technology called Spotlight, which enables on-the-fly, system-wide searches of files, folders, e-mail messages, contacts and other documents. Users will have constant access to the tool, now permanently attached to the corner of the menubar.
Now, if MS were to offer something similar, you whackos would be screaming for anti-trust violations...
This story in Fahrenheit 9/11 is relevant to Slashdot because the situation is far worse than Michael Moore says.
Funny - you don't mention any of the blatant half-truths and outright lies that Moore uses in this film - hell, you probably followed him into believing that guns kill people and people don't kill people (Bowling for Columbine).
I just hope he's too stupid to advertise DVD sales or the movie after 7/31 thus breaking the campaign laws (since he depicts an in-office politician)...would be great to see he and the film company lose lots of money for doing it. Hell, technically he's already breaking the campaign finance laws as the film company that is distributing it is Canadian as I understand...something about foreign money getting into politics...but no, no one bothers having a problem with that...

Anyone still running Windows is nuts ;)
Ahhh....more of the "I Hate Windows" rhetoric....seems like it's only a matter of time in every thread here...

Does great for Windows

Sounds more to me like some tech who was told ot make the files, and did it at home or something, not wanting to shell out the money for SoundForge.
I promise you that MS wouldn't have knowingly done anything like this - makes absolutely no sense.
Pirates must die.
Too many folks didn't want to vote for Hanoi Kerry...traitors don't do too well in elections...

Oh, c'mon - on an island founded by criminals, they were probably using pirated versions of MS software anyways
we're also seeking ideas that will make Firefox 2.0 blow every other browser out of the water.
Only way to do that reliably is to sell to MS.

Anyone know why Trillian isn't paying for use? Have Yahoo and company offered?
Same reason none of the other 3rd party clients aren't paying for use...? Duh.
