Used music is how I discovered a lot of new music I wouldn't have paid $20 for new (before discovering the Napster revolution, of course). Used music stores proliferate music purchases, period. Just because the RIAA doesn't get a direct cut of used music sales doesn't mean they don't get more listeners and more fans from the practice.
Even more interesting is how they identified the bug as being in how IE handled the "open-source image format PNG"... as though being open-sourced had something to do with it (sneaky).
More importantly, this case needs to be publicized more in your local papers and news. Make sure you report it to your local 'news tips' hotlines to give them the hint. You want the local public to be aware that these laws are dangerous and that the big media moguls are being defeated once in a while.
Code morphing isn't the problem. They should be supporting other chips though as well, if they want the embedded market. Having ARM support would be a killer (IMHO) and emulating some of the low-power Motorola chips would also be a great deal. Doing Intel support was obviously to sell laptops and Windows machines and get more exposure.
A freenet-like solution that partially cached visited pages on individuals' machines and then allowed them to be fetched p2p style would be even better:).

What I hate, and you've probably run into this before, is the people who register ".us.com" or in my case, ".ca.com" so as to catch all the unwary travellers who add those.com's to the domains or worse, mistype a domain and have their browser auto-search.com,.org and.net extensions.
If only we could teach people that domains actually end in a '.'... 'www.microsoft.com.' is the FQDN for Microsoft's website. 'www.microsoft.com' means that you're allowed to try 'www.microsoft.com.localdomain.net' or 'www.microsoft.com.com', etc.
Maybe a few submarines developped by Nasa that could actually get into the nooks and crannies of the Atlantic & Pacific oceans and then observe them for months at a time?:)
There always have been (and always will be) undocumented instructions. However, Intel is probably just using better heuristics to decide what to do where.
I've been waiting since watching Star Trek as a child to see humanity build a space station capable of launching missions. Once we have a space station that is able to store raw materials and build components itself we'll be able to do all other forms of space exploration at a much lower cost.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure that's even in the minds of those working on the ISS right now.
Remember that a well-organized D&D (LA)RPG will be more well organized in character design than any of these MMORPGs are. Can you imagine starting the game and being told that cleric was unavailable because the game needed a fighter? This doesn't sell to the mass populous, and neither do DMs. DMs make D&D games work well, and I'm sure some MMORPGs do a better job of this character management than others.
And the easiest way to tell if the writer has actually used the sources is to see direct reference to them in the footnotes or body of the work. I've read papers where a footnote is a full paragraph describing how the author disagrees with some of the work done by the cited author, but wants to make use of a tertiary point they both agree on. These papers make for good reading.
Rather, perhaps you should patent the process of inventing strictly obvious inventions and then patenting them to make lots of money off suing other normal people.
... or why they aren't built the way they should be.
Only by actually using the MFC did I start to realise why people like starting out with Windows programming and also realise why people don't write 'good' programs using the MFC (easily).
I prefer the little statement in the back of my Aidyn Chronicles game (very good, btw) that copying your games to make backups is not at all necessary and that you don't need to seek legal council about it.
Its news because unlike Microsoft, Linux vendors and users don't have billions of dollars in marketing money to claim things that aren't even true (Windows being reliable).
If we point out to the world that these things are doable (and done well) on Linux, more companies consider using Linux for their products instead of Windows and we don't have to suffer with poor quality MS crap.
I have an old cordless keyboard (airboard-styled) with a trackball and buttons built into the right and left front corners (respectively) of the keyboard. I can easily hold it on my lap and move my hands to the sides of the keyboard, holding it much like a Gameboy Advance (TM) without strain to operate the 'mouse'.
He's not saying anywhere in the article that its "right" to copy the files, but that perhaps publishers should feel honoured that it happens and even that authors should ignore it if their works aren't well enough known to stand on their own. Surely Microsoft didn't put up such a fuss about copying their new products until they became status-quo.
For what its worth, I believe the law should include 'intent' like other crimes, in that if I send you a song MP3 to listen to as the digital version of loaning you a CD and tell you you should get the album, I shouldn't be accused of piracy (but you probably should if you don't delete the file or buy the CD).
I agree, they should look... but they shouldn't have been given the rights they were given vis-a-vis terrorist suspects. By being profiled into that group, you lose your rights; all of them. Have a nice death...:(

They often are on EBay ... EBay has pulled Indie music CD-Rs before; do a google search.

Antennae on trees tend to sway quite a bit and if you're dealing with directional ones, its not going to work.

Or take a look at the info on x86.org.

PS, I'd love to hear about it too
... which is why you should be using SSH2 with pre-validated remote keys.

X over dial-up doesn't work too bad if using SSH for compression of the X protocol.
I highly recommend X-Win32 -- it works wonderfully as an X server on Windows.

Producing the binary on their site would also require the same compiler they used (same revision of all headers too).
