You'd also need an exclusion situation where if the package claims to need to update the configuration file (because of a configuration format change), the package should be downloaded and not updated because you'll need to tweak the file.
Copyright isn't and was never designed to be an asset of any kind. Art works are to be considered part of the public good, and to encourage their creation, we hold our breath and let the artists have temporary Copyright despite the stench.
Copyright is to encourage the creation of public domain accessible works, which should be free to all within a reasonable time to enrich society and culture.
You're missing the math, not on budget, but on earnings. The film "brought in" that amount to theatres, not to the production company.
If you make widgets at $1 a piece, and sell them at $2 a piece, you're not making as much money as people think if the local store is buying them at $1.25 from their distributor and the distributor buys them off you at $1.05 each.
In this case, the movie tickets sold value is what we're seeing, not the price WB got from its distributors who got that money from theatres who are themselves probably making a killing.
I'm a power-user and a developer. I use the command-line for anything requiring *real* using of my computer. You can't beat command-lines with piping and scripting for *real* power-use, period.
For my GUI usage, I use Gnome because it looks nice and works well by default. There are certain KDE applications I use because they are better designed than their Gnome counterparts or have been around longer and have better functionality (Kopete and Amarok come to mind), but my desktop is Gnome with several Eterm windows running at any time.
What I love about this troll specifically is the complete ignorance toward companies like Canonical (mentioned specifically in this story), RedHat, Novell, and others who commercially and collaboratively help produce and individually stand behind Linux distributions.
In other words, while he or she may believe the first sentence (and its a statement worthy of debate), the rest is just silly tripe.
A judge shouldn't be a member of any group promoting any specific type of justice, imho, as they're to be an impartial judge of the facts given them in court and not to be out for personal vendettas of any kind.
What matters is fear of piracy. Its a huge financial commitment for a game dev to actually put the game out, market it, etc. and the high risk of having it pirated instead is a major issue.
I've been using suspend to play Daxter over the last several months in various situations.
I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed Patapon and Puzzle Quest as well. My wife beat both the latter games before I did even, spending hours certain that she must be almost done.
To be honest, I quite like that Sony allows re-releases of older games (don't we usually complain that game companies do nothing with their old IP?), and creative games with no real interference (Flow, Flower, Calling all Cars, etc.)
Sony doesn't require that every game be a mega-seller, and if you want to create a cool little art project game for a few thousand people, they're a good choice of who to deal with.
What did you have against FEAR2? It was a fun game, that was thoroughly in touch with the original's universe and was a lot more fun to play with a lot less repetitive environments and several additional plot points.
I recall their fake error in Windows 3.1 that claimed other versions of DOS would cause problems to encourage users to buy MS DOS when the version they had installed was perfectly valid.
I remember Caldera successfully suing them for their anti-competitive practices, buying a Unix company and then turning into a Microsoft shill.
There was DR-DOS, I recall a strange interaction issue with Desqview/X but I may be mistaken, etc.
Angry that they got into a business they didn't understand (hardware manufacturing) and did a piss-poor job of it, losing lots of money for their shareholders.
You buy a [Ford|etc.] vehicle and it dies on you and they won't fix it. You buy another and it does the same. You don't buy [Ford|etc.] vehicles anymore, do you?
Lots of people I know won't buy a Ford/GM/Toyota/whatever because of a bad experience in the past. You never get a second chance to make a first impression, and that counts in any type of retail as well.
That's not what he asked at all. "Getting whatever you want" is not necessarily the goal of playing the game for some people.
Why not just go out and slay mobs, or find new areas, or join interesting groups and have fun together? The need to actually grind out the in-between is a horrible lesson learned from JRPGs.
I'm a heavy Internet user and hate caps and have a 10Mbit feed to my house and even I'm not that oblivious.
The feed you pay for is a "peak speed" of 6Mbit first off, not a guaranteed speed. Secondly, your actual usage is probably discussed in the fine print near where it tells you not to spam and harass other users.
Using an on-screen GUI blocks the video. I'm watching video, and using a keyboard interface is the closest I'll get to having a remote (without using a remote). I love mplayer.
"[" and "]" to slow down and speed up video, left and right arrows to skip through video, 'g' to turn on and off the OSD and numerous other options.

Certainly not englishicating :-)
Its easier to run your own update mirror and have your clients pull the updates list from that.
IMHO.
IMHO, a good sysadmin is the one who sees such issues and finds or writes a script to do it for them.
(That's "you're both right")
for address in addresses; do /var/lib/triggers/update'
ssh $address 'touch
done
With an obvious job on the machines watching for such trigger files (to avoid root access, etc.)
if [ -f $TRIGGERFILE ]; then /tmp/yum_trigger.log \
yum -y update 2>&1| tee
&& rm -f $TRIGGERFILE
fi
Agreed. The whole issue is moot if we offer Copyright as a fixed term after publication of the work.

In practise this doesn't happen of course.

Bioshock was definitely more than Doom, but less than stellar, IMHO.
Doom had no choices involved. Bioshock had choices.
Doom made no real claims about the world around us or the human spirit or humanity's inner drives, Bioshock did.
That's about it though.

All of it (intellectual property), should eventually be made free, after the creators have had a chance to profit off it for a reasonable time.
Wait, that's what Copyright says. Damnit.
We just lost 'reasonable' somewhere along the line.

They're equally infinite, the list of real numbers simply reaches very large proportions at very small apparent values compared to natural numbers.
Just because there are infinite numbers in between each of the values of the other infinite set doesn't make either more infinite than the other.
That's not what he asked at all. "Getting whatever you want" is not necessarily the goal of playing the game for some people.

I much prefer my RPG characters rolled D&D style.
I buy a large instead of an extra large because my insulated mug only holds a large :-)
Minor exceptions being those who offer guaranteed dedicated service, like UUNet in Canada. Of course, those costs are substantially higher.

lol ... can we take back our body armour systems, sniper teams and pilots too?
