Let's say you have a house. It's a very nice house, and you decide to sell it to someone. They get a house, and you get some money. Everybody's happy. They can, of course, sell the house to someone again if they want.
And now let's say you have an idea. Maybe some music, maybe a fictional story, maybe whatever. You try to sell that to someone, and they buy it. Now... if IP was like regular property, they'd be able to sell (or give) that idea to whoever they want. But no, that's the exact opposite of how it is.
Obviously, IP and regular property are very different.
Property is part of capitalism. A nice system, but you have to remember that it's an economic system, and all economic systems ultimately are interested in the distribution of things which have scarcity. (That is, there is not enough of it for everybody to have as much as they want of it.) Ideas aren't like this. Once an idea exists, everybody who wants it can have some of it.
IP exists because even though ideas aren't scarce, the proccess of making new ideas is valuable, but traditionally unfettered capitalism won't reward people for it. Make an idea, and someone will copy it. That's what you do to ideas. So people decided to try to rig up capitalism so people could make money off ideas. One idea that people thought of was to restrict the copying of ideas. It worked, so people decided to keep it.
Personally, I think it's a flawed system, although since I'm still not sure what would be better, I'm willing to keep some kind of copyright for now.
They Might Be Giants released a new album on Tuesday, and many of the songs had not yet been released in any other form except maybe Dial-a-song. So they probably played more new songs and less "Ana Ng."
I know, but my "at least you could have said something in the talk page" is the equivalent of filing a bug report.
The assumption, however, is that people are, on average, more proficient at English than C++, so we have a larger pool of people who can fix it, if so motivated.
Just because you're not an expert in the field doesn't mean you couldn't fix it. At the very least, you should've gone into the talk section and said, "What's this guy doing citing a fictional story?"
I imagine Jackito sounds more like taquito, although your pronunciation is probably going to be very popular no matter how Novinit wants to pronounce it.
The Chevy Nova is a myth. To cite Snopes, Nova and No va are very different things in Spanish, (as different as No Table and Notable) and they wouldn't say No va anyway.
I really don't think that article proves anything. Maybe they're focusing on Bush a little more than neccesary, but Bush campaign is doing a lot of negative campaigning.
David Spade didn't invent the joke. He invented repeating the joke over and over and over again for the duration of an entire sketch. And what are you doing? Repeating the joke.
The Knights of the Lambda Calculus called. They want their infinite recursion back.
No, Mark got modded up to 3 in the end. But you, due to your lack of SLASHDOT SPIRIT got modded down. Now turn that frown upside down and give me some July cheer! Give me a G! Give me an N! Give me a U! Give me a SLASH! Give me an L! Give me an I! Give me another N! Give me another U! Give me an X! Give me an exclamation point! Give me another exclamation point! Give me another exclamation point! Give me the number one, because you are the best audience ever! What does it spell?!
Because everybody hated Winamp 3, and so it was more-or-less abandoned and they continued working on Winamp 2 for a while, eventually getting up to something like 2.9. If they had named it Winamp 3.1, people would have said, "That's Winamp 3!! WINAMP 3 IS TEH SUCK!!" and not downloaded it. So they decided to do a whole different number. Nullsoft being the llama-whipping company that they are, they decided to do 2+3 instead of 4.
Men have nipples. These nipples are considered appropriate for all ages. (Although they look a little different.) That's gonna throw a monkey wrench in your system.
They're certainly intentionally associating themselves with Atari the video game company for the purposes of making themselves more popular, but I'm not sure if that's illegal.
The word Atari predates the videogame. It's a term from Go. It means the situation where a group of stones is one liberty away from being captured. Thusly, if you aren't directly in the videogame industry, you can probably use the word as much as you want.
Wikipedia goes on to define bug as "an error, flaw, mistake or fault in a computer program which prevents it from working correctly," and working correctly means conforming to its requirements. So all this means is that a bug is what causes a defect. And anyway, just because software doesn't conform to its requirements doesn't mean the non-compliance is known. Unknown defects can still exist, according to Wikipedia's definition.

Hating individuals is a very different issue from what "hate groups" do.

Ummm... isn't that business entirely based around screwing artists?

Did at least the girl know how to divide?

Bite the wax tadpole is pretty close though.
The first amendment doesn't say anything about "Political Speech," although that is a very important class of speech.

Conservativism and Libertarianism are very different things, although they overlap on some key issues, such as guns and taxes.
Libertarianism is sort of a class in its own, neither left nor right. That's why the (somewhat flawed) Nolan Chart was invented, among other reasons.

There is no tower. You have the satellite going in a geostationary orbit over the earth, and you hang a cable from it. That's what holds it up.

Godwin's law reffers to comparing the opponent to Hitler, not Neville Chamberlain.
Yes, but America is not The People. America is a subset of The People united by a mostly contiguous amount of land and a government.
