Well, even if this wasn't the result of a standing EM waveform inside your foil hat, how would they know that this particular burner ID belongs to you? you did pay for in cash didn't you?

The district court said that a domain name wasn't property because it's intangible
Damn, coulda had interesting ramifications for the RIAA...
You now think that this is an appaling idea. A totally free market doesn't really work, you'd only have one giant company running everything (MicroAOLTimeWarnerSoft) so you do need some limited government interference, but this proposal is just fscked. Heck, why don't we charge a fee on every copy of RedHat sold to give to Slackware, because they don't sell as many copies and we need to level the field. Or we could do like Canada* and tack a charge on CD-Rs, to be 'fair' to the RIAA, and then tax the RIAA on sales and give to to smaller indy lables. From each propritary company with the means, to each opensource with the need? That seems to ring a bell. Stoopid stoopid idea.

sooo.. you want an adapter to hang a 50+ lbs CRT monitor from a LCD mount two feet above your nuts. Am I the only one thinking this might be a bad idea?
So they beat this thing with a rock, then pissed on it, and it still worked well enough to run a word processor? I want one of those. I looked an mine funny once and the hard drive exploded.
My personal computer is "private" and no one is allowed in without my permission. Period. Even if there is no password or anything protecting it, just like my house.
But there's a problem with that. Walking down the street I can quite clearly see that this building is a residence and that one there is a busness. If I punch 589.261.92.71 (yes, i know its invalid, but for example) into my browser, or telnet client, or whatever, and it pulls up your private site on your private compy, I don't know where it is, or wether its a "private" or "public" comp. Its just data. If I misdial my friends phone number, and call you and you answer, have I "accesed" your personal phone w/o authorization? Have I wrongly accesed the sound patterns that are your voice hidden away inside your home? no.
Um, no.
It uses chatrooms and message boards as examples of "public" areas. It states that this applies to areas that are "generally accessible to other members" which would, of course, include any web page space you don't put behind a password.
Then the US version of the TOS simply states any content posted anywhere on their servers.
But the point here is that when you "sell" the CD, you're also transfering ownership of the copies as well, the afformentioned locking mech of whatever sort prevents the original owner from continuing to use that copy (which is what the law in regards to).
Of course, its only a matter of time until even asking for such details lands you in a cell in cuba, for public safty. Wouldn't want you knowing how to get around it now would we? After all, the DOJ has already made great strides in gutting FOIA.
I haven't had a car for two years. Where I live there's decent public transportation, or you could try something like *gasp* walking, or riding a fscking bike.
So many people are so unwilling to look beyond their ford exploder. Nothing like driving that two blocks to the store to pick up some ice cream!
Good god man! don't you understand that Flash is the great evil that will destroy the internet?!? oh, don't worry my poor poor bandwith, everything will be all right.
It's an easy fix,
once the install reaches about 10% of the way through, reach around back of your box and give the thickest cable a good solid yank. No more screen-shot option.
Expense, both monitary and temporal. Most of the damned kids figure "why bother spending months learning basic electroncs theory, hundreds on breadboards and LCDs and Microcontroller programmers, when I can just go buy something that will do what I need for $10 at RadioShaft? Sure it'll break in two months and I won't have a clue of how to fix it, but so what? by then I'll be bored with it and be on to something else. Anyone want to buy a meow-chi?"
Another part of the problem is that pretty much anything you buy today is made with propritary custom BGA ICs. Even if you could get a hold of the chips to do some of the really suh-wheat stuff, have you ever tried to solder a BGA? right, doesn't work to well unless you have a half million dollar IR reflow oven. Hell, can you even buy DIP form factor for half the IC's out there anymore? Sure, you could do the same thing with 3,000 descrete components, but again, why would they bother?

Of course, it would be fairly simple to make a mill simulator program. Something that would take the.dxf, and run through it really quick and say "Error: Collision kills orphan holding a puppy on line 38" etc.
With your webserver code example, there's hundreds of ways something could go wrong. Buffer overflows, memory leak, etc etc etc... with a milling machine, it goes from point A to point B. All variables are known. Material rigidity, support beam locations, etc.
It's a totally different issue.

Some tags maybe built into the products that it would be impossible for us to remove them
So just dont buy anything you're not willing to throw in the microwave for 10 seconds.
Damn, here I was hoping there would be a chance of prosicuting in a country that still has the death penalty. Preferably something slow.

Has *any* of this crap they've been flinging about been clear? They're on frickin crack.
Boing PHB1: Most of our major buyers are
struggling to keep their heads above water,
what should we do?
Boing PHB2: I know, let's spend c130's full of
money to design and build a new plane that no one
will buy!
*brilliant!*
no, it won't.

It would be interesting to see details..

and I didn't stray very far from what they taught me until I was in college
And then what, you became an alcoholic, crack snorting soddomite?
