A corporation builds an OS that is on 90% of all personal computers and is the root entry/cause for most of the viruses out there but they have no desire to make it secure so they just want the gov to introduce a tax onto the same consumer they sold this OS to? WTF?
Simpler answer would be for the GOV to create a mailing compaign advising the people to switch to a more securely designed OS to save on taxes.
I'll cancel my tv and interment accounts. I'll throw away all music and digital files I have bought over the years. I'll will never watch/buy another movie, buy/play another video game or buy/listen to music.
If a movement like this can be initiated with just 10% of the population it'll hit those fucker in the pocket books really good.
I have no problems with them going after legitimate game pirates or real sea pirates. I DO however have a huge problem with them/corporations trying to make it illegal to tinker, modify, sell, wipe my ass with hardware that I own. I bought it and its mine if you don't like it you can come and pick up your "rented property" and give me my money back.
Very nice and polished os which new comers will like very much. Not nasty looking like Ubuntu. I know I know its just eye candy but just like ass and titties its sells.
My gf has no problems navigating and using it as shes as computer hater and doesn't use computers much.
I've also ran OpenSUSE 11 before the last two versions of Mint and this was also a very nice and polished os.
Now having sung the praises of Mint I have to say that in the Mint 8 version compared to 7 there are some weird notebook related bugs that pop up once in a while and the Broadcom wireless drivers don't always work that well with my Dell 1720
>Because they're removing 60 percent of the features and making the remaining 40 percent configuration free and so polished they make your eyes hurt.
Yes because I want to be up sold propitiatory plug to usb just so I can hook up an SD/CF card reader.
At one of the local schools when the police came to do anti drug speech and the police officer was talking about cannabis he asked the students (grade 3/4) if any of their parents had an indoor garden inside the house. This was quite the set up.
if they defaced it and erased all foot prints they left along with not mentioning their hacker group name. Nothing like an anonymous hack to freak people out.

And were legally allowed to download music for personal use in Canada, yes he can't make it available for download but this should be up to Canadian courts to decided the sites faith.
A lot of Canadian companies do business with Cuba and seem to be quite successful. As for morally bankrupt, seems tons of western corporations have no problems exploiting third world civilians for cheap labor. China anyone?
If you don't start somewhere you'll never get to see what changes you could bring.
take as a regular person (not a corporation) for me to be charged with some kind of "fill in the blank" conspiracy if I started keeping tabs on people like the corporations do.
Are we actually gonna be citizens in the next 50 years or just law abiding consumrzens with laws that put us into jail of we don't spend our money fast enough on new shiny things.
Corporations doing shyster deals to gain profits for share holders while braking laws and shafting the consumers? Good god whats next, corporation changing laws to punish consumers for using products in ways there were not designed to be used?
Hey hey there kid. That baseball is designed to be hit with our authorized bats. Using any unauthorized bat is prohibited and will be enforced by our "Good Consumer Police"

Well there's a market right there. Set up your site with a company that has no connections to the USA
This seems very similar what Fairtunes was doing years ago.
Oddsock even had/has a Winamp plugin for it http://www.oddsock.org/tools/gen_fairtunes but seems fairtunes.com is no longer and just a parking page now. Here's some more info from 2000 http://www.bizreport.com/news/66/ and some google action http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=fairtunes.com&btnG=Search&meta=&aq=f&oq=

Would creating a 3d bilboard sign in a VRML world count as previous art?
to visit more pawn shops to get my brand new dvd for $3.99 Way to take away a choice for consumers so you can alienate even more of them.

Ohh just like the IOC exploiting the Native Canadians with their "Authentic" products. http://storereviews.vancouver2010.com/0715/TT3219439/reviews.htm
and other IM's used to convert LOL, BRB, etc into faces, little signs or sounds years ago. Isn't that the same thing?
I'm sure there was some option where the short hand was translated onto the screen to its full meaning.
I didn't shoot you. You came over to my Canadian property across the border and then I shot you.
