1) Consistency: I have Debian on my desktop. I know how to set up and maintain, Slackware was set up by a friend and I know just enough to run it. 2) Cron does not work and I'm to lazy to fix it.
Obviously I was talking about the current reality, If you can get all the goverments back to Berne and declare the whole superextensions null and void and place a sensible maximum there instead...
I think that Steam itself is a violaton. You bought a box, not the Steam version. The law may not agree with me, but that is not the question (not for me anyway).
I just said that just because you're not selling something doesn't mean should automatically come into the public domain.
You didn't just say it, you gave a reason: it hurts present sales. So if 6 year old things can do that, so can 12 year old things and so on. I think you can see the logical conclusion to this.
Right now copyrights are "limited" to max (95 years after creation, year of death of last author+75 years)
Which means that you and I won't see anything created today entering public domain. Nice trade! The way things are going I'm not sure I'll see anything from the 40's wntering public domain: go-go retroactive extensions.
If that were the case, Linux would be released into the public domain automatically since Linus Torvalds isn't profiting by selling it.
We are not talking selling here but availability. If you can't get the latest version from kernel.org (because it's/.ed) there are many friendly mirrors that will assist you and won't be getting C&D letters from Linus.
From yesterday's news. It seems that Heem is responsible for it. Let's see how long it lasts before putting it into Wikipedia. Yes, Wikipedia is only for old people...
At the moment we have a line somewhere around 1920 and a sign that reads: "No public domain after this point". And you are arguing that putting more stuff in public domain is bad, why isn't that relevant again? What does society gain out of copyright right now and why should we uphold our end of the deal? That is what this is all about so the lenght of copyright protection has everything to do with your comment.

You idiot, people in cardboard houses shouldn't flame.
:-P
I'm in a concrete and brick house, why do you ask?
I don't see how a PDF is more searchable than a text file...
I want to just read. There is no problwm allowing anchors and bookmarking of any place in a text file. PDFs are only for printing.
Yes, if it's in my account...
Microsoft, Gates, Ballmer. How sick are you now?
Isn't that a fine for the executive? Why not just use RIAA math and fine them $ 250 000 per sold ram stick?
...and to get very frustrated, because the passing system sucks. Avoid Yahoo Go at all costs.
Fixed link: DGS.
There's also DGS for when you don't have enough time to play a whole game. BTW, my nick is same there as here, so feel free so arrange a game.

What new software is needed on your server anyway? I too am waiting for Sarge, to replace the Slackware on my little home server.
Stable is for people who need an unchanging system (no, I'm not one of them), please leave it alone.

Spyware makers must love you...
You label yourself a "consumer" and want us to believe that you are not a sucker?
I agree games don't matter, goverment shouldn't protect customer right NOR Valves copyrigts...
Is this you?

Yeah, lock up all public domain material in a big fucking vault so all the new bullshit can sell better!
