People think that gold doesn't have intrinsic value, but they forget that gold is jewelry.
If that was all people saw gold was it would be dirt cheap. No, people have an absurd obsession with gold.
If for example gold was as common as sand, wouldn't you want to drink your coffee from a golden cup instead of a ceramic one?
No, I wan't my coffee to be nice and warm instead of radiating all over the place. Hell, I wouldn't want to do it now either, it's just another metal, get over it.
Wouldn't we use golden wire for electricity instead of copper?
No, we wouldn't. Gold has it's uses that would benefit from people not hording it, this is not one of them. On the other hand, if you can convince people to stop hoarding silver we could actually get better wiring where it matters.
Back in the real world most people don't have the luxury of quiting over any change they disagree with and idealistic grandstanding that they somehow should anyway will not solve the problem.
That is not different from cell phones in the US. If you are on Verizon and call someone on AT&T it is just about the same scenario. Some plans even have unlimited calls within the same network, quite unlike the net. I find it's better done just about anywhere else (caller pays/sender pays) but I wouldn't want to apply the same rules to all media, it's just that there is no significant difference at the moment.
That already happens, website operators and people accessing the net already *both* pay for the privilege in some form. This would be charging one (or both) parties extra to connect to someone in particular.
From their "Introduction" section on the home page:
It should be used by penetration testers to help and automate the process of taking over a DB Server when a SQL Injection vulnerability has been discovered.
Realistically there's no way there are patents out there that cover h264 and not VP8.
Back in actual, as opposed to perceived, reality On2 has been avoiding patent problems for well over a decade. This was made by a company that did nothing but video codecs, if they didn't know what they were doing in regards to patents, they wouldn't have survived.
So what is Oracle's past history with standardized languages that they have significant control over? I know Microsoft has none, so a narrow view like that really isn't helpful with them.

The problem must have been less widespread then you are trying to imply. My 8xxx was unaffected.
I'm pretty sure rapidshare has some sort of use agreement in place that gives them permission to distribute you public uploads...
We are talking about modern and relatively sane banking systems here...

The TSA agents are following the policies handed down to them. This is a systematic failure, not agents being thugs.

That would be easy to block, so I don't think it's likely. However I do hope they solve the problem somehow, it's still beta after all.
It's not in the repositories, that is, it's been censored from appearing there. It's the reasoning given, not the scope, that makes it censorship.
It's not the obscurity, it's the rationale given. It's pretty much the definition of censorship (which isn't bad per se, just in case that's unclear).
Yes, yes they do. Can you believe that there are people who think censorship is somehow an activity that's exclusive to the government?
Censorship isn't restricted to governments. Government censorship just happens to be a particularly nasty type so it's talked about more.
Having an option that everyone can support is doing it right.
From the HTML 5 beta page: "Videos with ads are not supported (they will play in the Flash player)"
Yet even big camera makers pass on a proper license with their products...
Oh, like VB6 that was dropped like a hot rock in favor of the incompatible .NET version?

Here's a better and less ranty writeup if you want to look into the arguments: http://carlodaffara.conecta.it/?p=420

On the other hand having an open window means that people might look in without ever entering your house.
They're still can be an error even if its affect is consistent.
I think people who want to spend a blank check on a laptop fall under 2.
So, if you want a pint of water it has to go into a toner cartridge, do I understand this correctly?
Strictly speaking it is the person you are downloading from that is making a copy.
