Friend, if you're going to call the system broken, it seems like you should propose an alternative.
I've not myself encountered another way for artists to be sufficiently supported to continue in their art. I've certainly seen single case examples (Cory Doctorow and his one book, Stephen King and his one book), but these things don't work at scale and it's notable that neither of them did that twice.
What would you suggest?
He can work as a carpenter to guy his food and publish books for free in internet. He can sell his books on paper. He can gather money from sponsors. He can sell ebook wothout DRM through Kindle store and count on people buying it because it's more convenient than torrenting. There are multiple ways to share your ideas. People used to create music and books and acts long before copyright.
Even if you assume 100% of pirates wouldn't have bought the game if they couldn't get it for free, what gives them the right to play the game without paying for it?
The same thing which gives them right to sing a song they just heard in radio. You can't steal ideas.
Sounds like you have... a problem with authority! Why don't you stop being a criminal? After all, the law is always right. This is just how the world works, and since it could, potentially, be worse, you might as well not bother trying to change it.
Should all Negros think like you USA will still have a slavery.
Why don't you give a *proper* install another chance?
Because unfortunately I have it on Lenovo laptop. It has no Windows DVD install but hidden recovery partition instead. There is no easy way to reduce the size of main system partition.
I liked Wubi because it was really easy way to install Linux. I tried many different distros (Slackware, RH, Debian) through couple of years and I had many problems with install script making Windows unbootable.
Wubi worked so far flawlessly without serious performance issues.
A computer 1000x faster than what was available the day before.
Faster, please.
(and thank you)
Isn't 1000x faster too fast? I heard we are already close to the limit of speed of light. If we go faster than chips would have to get smaller so signals can travel across them in one cycle.
Yeah, I had Ubuntu installed through Wubi inside Win7 NTFS partition. After upgrade to Maverick Meetkat I no longer can log into it, it resets before I can even see kernel messages. So I am giving up on desktop Linux for another couple of years. It wasn't the only problem with Linux I had but it was last nail to the coffin.
It's a shame because I am big OSS fan and I am using a lot of free programs on desktop. I also use exclusively Linux on server. I hoped I could replace windows completely.
So, Free is literally refusing to relay the emails via SMTP from Hadopi? Somethings not right with Free's reasoning here. How else do you send an email to the user (as required by the law) without using the ISP's SMTP servers? And since when do ISPs charge others for the right to email their customers?
Hadopi asked for what can be called "mass mailing". They asked Free to collect user information and inform users at the same time. What Free did is collect user information (probably name and street address). It's Hadopi's job to find users' email addresses now and than mail them.

UI lag? That's nothing... My biggest problem is lack of smooth image scaling in Firefox. It looks ugly as hell.
God made the universe 6000 years ago as if it were made much longer ago.
That contradicts the idea that God does not deceive, which most Christians believe.
He tricked a guy to (almost) kill his son, isn't he?
No, tl;dr = toodle loo, digital rights!
Bah, I always thought it's Top Left : Down Right.
What does one really gain by hijacking a Slashdot account?
Low ID.
Problem is you have to be able to assess the risk. We can think about some thing as relatively low risk but in fact they could be dangerous.
But I agree with you that final decision should be left to patient.
Why he calls it strange? It's rather obvious that people (especially chldren) emulate they book heros.
750k a month? What do Google ads pay for 20+ million pageviews a month? I'm guessing as much, if not more, [...]
Google pay for clicks not for views, aren't they?
I think this might have been a stroke of genius that will end up with the insane laws being changed.
If you can explain something with stupidity it's the most probably cause.
This is ridiculous. She is obviously suing [...]
I doubt it. She died.

Because it's Slashdot you are probably just a retard.
[...]but is it acceptable if 1 in 1,000 dies from a complication? 1 in 100,000?
Try harder, it's still more risk than dying from terrorist attack. Oh, wait!
That's why you use Perl instead.
It has no use outside of piracy and playing "backups.'
Isn't creating backups a part of fair use?

Not a good idea at all. He will have a trip to Pakistan in papers from now on.

They should better double check if it's really it's own head. They have already made such a mistake with brontosaurs.
The funny thing is he thought the Turner Diaries was a NORMAL and intellectually stimulating thing to read, just like the Bible.
I wouldn't call the Bible "intellectually stimulating" and surely not NORMAL book to read.
