Just because you decided to annoy the hell out of me by bitching about piracy during my legally paid viewings of the last 2 movies I went to see, I am going to download your next movie 5 times one I get my fiber connection set up.

Remember last year, when Mike Batt included a short blank track on a CD, and John Cage's estate sued him for infringing on their copyright of his famous 4'33" work...
I find the fact that you can copyright "nothing" slightly disturbing.
1. Someone posts a blank [ insert fav music editor of choice ] file
2. everyone adds one note and then reposts it
3. After thousands of people have contributed, release it on CD and P2P.
4. Profi... I mean, uh, watch as it dominates the current 800 lb. gorillas of the music arena.
No one could match the raw emotion, tonal diversity, and freedom from coherence such a piece would possess.
Except maybe John Cage.
Of course, Musicmatch has the Fraunhofer codec, so that's just wonderful for making 128kbs mp3s that actually sound good, and therefore is how I rip my CDs.
Well they seemed to be saying it reached the start of the heliopause, which would be correct. It will take a few more years for it to reach the end of it.
After we spent $75 million to renovate the football stadium and the state cutting our budget, it's nice to know we still have money to support science.
I see this as a ploy to respond to those who have been screaming to get this horrible law overthrown for several years. To the casual person who doesn't know what a horrible piece of legislation the DMCA is, this could look like some kind of compromise possibly giving the law more credibility. If the LOC projects the impression that they want to work with opponents of the law and make it "better" while avoiding further legal action, maybe they hope that will give the law a better reputation with the public. In reality it is a realization that the DMCA's days are numbered and a pathetic attempt to appease the courts to keep it in place.

Am I the only one that actually liked Revolutions?
I thought it already had military grade security. After all Solaris was the first OS to earn Common Criteria certification.

Because we need to make efforts to conserve energy, how many of these particles would just one monkey yield?

I know this was a joke but, I've seen some excellent advice so far.
one thing windows lets us do is install firewalls, and block certain internet sites. LOL, uh, you can do that with any OS.
It is $199 for a 5 license, not $279.
Why not use sendmail (or Postfix in Panther)? That way you never have to manage your SMTP servers and can just use one all the time.
They're just making a guess that people detect pheromones through their nose, too -- they don't know this.
Since we really don't know for sure, lets spend $50 million to find out.
A good rule of thumb in competition is to only start wars you know you can win. Something is not clicking here...

We need a new music distribution movement.

He's talking about Linux, not X11 from within OS X.
Not according to the EULA you can't. It clearly states one machine per copy.

iTunes uses Fraunhofer as well.

I guess the FCC just doesn't want me supporting American business. I'll definitely be in the market for a hacked box from Europe.
Won't help. It will just find us somewhere else, and I already used the black egg to take out that asteroid. :(
Since most of the posts so far have been concerned about equality in policies across OSes, here you go:
BLOODY MURDER!!!!!!
From TFA: Other vulnerabilities could allow a local or remote user to crash the system.
Lol, I'd love to see the patch they came up with for preventing a local user from crashing the system.
2) Barring the current Iraq situation, the US has proven they are RESPONSIBLE with their use of WMD, and only use them when attacked
And it should be noted that the last time we used them was almost 50 years ago and even then it was an extremely hard decision for the president.
Saddam on the other hand has used them quite liberally over the last 30 or so years to repeatedly kill his own people.
