The funny thing is that Facebook is only having a hard time on mobiles because it choosed to.
It can't be that hard to create a passable mobile interface for Facebook, even if you take some space for ads. Lots of people do create good interfaces for lots of different stuff, and there is nothing unique on FB about that.
Well, that's your experience. Around here we had a small TV channel create a local news program that talked exclusively about the government, and politics. One day it did go to a public hospital, and interview the governor (we don't have a mayor here) asking why it is so bad, the other it was asking the transportation people when a hole in a street would be fixed... That kind of thing.
In the end, they made so well that all the other news had to adapt. Some channels even stopped doing news because they couldn't compete.
The artist is assuming a hell of a lot of risk when you come out and say "I don't ever plan to buy most of what you make, and I won't know what I want until you put it on the shelves".
How is that different from any other kind of entrepreneur?
Amost no artist ever made a living out of music on any time in history. The current times are an exception in that the number of artists making a living is extremely high; but they are still a very tiny minority.
I don't think anyone should expect to grow up and become a doctor, but I think it would be a very bad thing if nobody grew up and became a doctor.
To be honest, if the choice was between the current *AA or no new art, I think I would go with no new art. But that is obviously a false dicotomy.
Notice how you can't sell stock on your career? Why can a musician do that?
It is completely different from an IPO, because in an IPO you sell shares of a company. If you decide to live that company at the following day and start another one, nobody will stop you. You are selling a property, not yourself.
Lots of people would if they believed the investment they made with that loan would make them rich and famous.
Good thing we have anti slavery laws to protect dreaming teenagers from themselves and those fictional banks (that would stop being fictional at the moment those laws go away). Too bad those laws don't extend to musicians.
Rarely, if ever, is anyones goal a transparent amplifier. Especially when it comes to actual instrument amplification.
Man, could you ever create a more ambiguous phrase? Take a look on instrumentation amplifiers at the Wikipedia. My first reaction was "how can somebody be that stupid?", then I realized you are talking about a different kind of instrument.
Yep, that detail may be right. But transistors achieve a much higher gain (even more when you couple several of them), what lets you put them in bias control and feedback circuits. Inside those circuits they are way more linear.
The final result is that transistor based amplifiers are (nearly without exception) more linear than the tube based ones.
It runs a real OS (that you can code for easily - no app BS), can do 1080p, is pluggable to ethernet, can host USB, can plug on your TV or any monitor you have, and have an accessible GPIO.
How is Debian obscure? And how is "Put this image at the card; boot; you are done" is obscure installation? Pi is interesting because you can do actualy usefull things with it, what you can't do out of the box with Android.
Also, good luck playing Angry Birds without a touch screen.
pi is a toy like altair, with a real os a device like this is more of a normal home computer.
So, the thing running a desktop OS is a toy, while Android is like a home computer?
After we discover the questions, methodology, and if the BSA is being honest (for a change), we can conclude that we learned very little from the research. Before that, there is nothing to learn from.
The near zero marginal price is the reason software markets tend to be monopolies. Piracy is just one manifestation of it, and the others won't go away even if piracy stops.
One may object that maybe Tenenbaum is not in this to monetize fame, but from my experience, the last thing serious research scientists at the beginning of their careers want is unrelated distractions. There are papers to publish, conferences to attend, jobs to apply for, etc. He must be getting something from this trial even at risk of this penalty to make the time spent well worth his while.
From my experience, most researchers at the begining of their carrer (and some even after they get old) have the attitude that "Damn it all, I'm right and I'll prove it", or that "It is wrong, and thus I'll fight it".
Once I seed it once, I shut down my application. The market for Windows is destroyed* and I get out of any real damages
Now, what is wrong with punishing the guilty people by the amount they are guilty? I mean, if one goes into a department store and steals a CD, he isn't charged with the thousands of CDs people steal from those stores every year. He is charged with the CD he stole.
If MS (read that as a random corporation) doesn't want to go after everybody distributing that copy, why the unluck one that they cared to catch will pay for them all?

Yep, you do that untill some brandless chinese company appears and takes all your market from you.

They'll probably get statutory damages, so $700 or more.

The tablet isn't on the same market.

Haters anonymous. Sounds great, but "Internet" still sounds better.

But only in number.
Are you telling me that you'd take a BSA research seriously if they showed you their questions? That's quite naive.
Can you put it on a torrent after you whatch?

They didn't stablish any fact yet. That happens during the trial, and they are trying to get into an agreement to avoid the trial.
EU probably has plenty of publicity companies.
You must use a hell of a large window size with all that latency.

Except that he can't ever pay that debt down by pulling 3k a month. You'll need to think about some bolder crime.
Now, what is wrong with punishing the guilty people by the amount they are guilty? I mean, if one goes into a department store and steals a CD, he isn't charged with the thousands of CDs people steal from those stores every year. He is charged with the CD he stole.

And? If he is sending RIAA all his money for the rest of his life, what difference does if he buys nothing from them?
