They own millions of good domains that people cant use because they are being squatted on. ICANN should put their foot down and do something about it. Now there are no names left hardly to take since they are all claimed by these stupid sites that get visits by people mis-spelling a URL or a site they used to visit.
Examples:
A funny Nintendo related site I used to love: http://www.nintendoclassics.com/
The company that made Tuxracer: http://www.sunspirestudios.com/
Shit like this just pisses me off.
He made a much newer one on Valve's request since. Way to go TACO!

The RIAA seems to think having a monopoly is the only way. They're making enough money, CD sales are up yet again, so where is this entirely about money?
It's greed. The more they make the more they want.
You gotta wonder what the brits got planned with those many TONNES of weapons grade PU they got in the bunker at Sellafield. That place aint no power plant!
They wont last near as long as a nice big marine deep cycle battery. (if your UPS runs on 24 volts, 2 will do nicely) Since obviously these batteries are designed for deep cycles.
I've ran computer switching power supplies off of 110V DC (Direct current) before. Since their internal switching unit does not need the alternating current anyways. The AC is just converted to DC and filtered with a couple large capacitors, so feeding it DC will work just fine.
American patents are just a big cash grab for the govt since all the USPTO does is grant and grant, and get paid big bucks for granting such garbage. Of course corporations take advantage in this hoping they can gain control of prior art for their own gain anyways. Patent reform anyone? They keep talking about it, but they been talking about it for a long time now. Seems its just a bunch of hotair. The big software companies would probably just hate it.

else do what? microsoft would patent the method of taking a computer and turning it on if they could.
The crackers will have it opened up any minute now.
Toronto has always topped the league during regular season games anyways. They suck in the playoffs.
First he attacks Linux, now he attacks Apple and their iPod. Typical Microsoft.

Because then the RIAA would not have control. Since when was this all about money?

Police spike strips will become useless. Anything innovating the DOJ wont like gets outlawed.
Yes if your screen can do higher then 1024x768. A 1280x800 16:9 screen laptop is best.
Exactly, the internal capacitor voltage runs at 180v. No cloud of smoke here man. :P
What does the British Midlands airline have to do with music? Oh wait...
Now all they need is X11R6.8.0
Considering most UPS's wont run a battery completely dry before shutting off, that argument is quite flawed.

If your using an APC ups, apcupsd is by far the best one to use. www2.apcupsd.com/
Cant be that bad, considering a 256M piece of compact flash averages 30 bucks now.

If so it's a weird lookin one at that.
Looks like a piece to a remote car starter to me?

Lots of prior art on this one. The USPTO never does their homework anyways.
Im damn glad I read this an hour before it got slashdotted.
