So should a programmer. Or the accountant or line worker at Hardey's. Bet you don't care for that concept. Go to work, write a great version of the report they need, sit around the weekly meeting enjoying the accolades and pats of the back, go home to your tent and work you garden because there's no paycheck.
"you give your songs out for free. this radical concept is similar to the radical communist method you know as "radio airplay"."
Since you ignored the previous poster educating you, allow me to repeat: Air play is not free. The artist is paid. That makes it not communist. You are simply, ignorantly wrong.
How about you exercise your brain a touch and try to apply your pop star notions to the field of say, detective novels, children's books or the sculptor or portrait artist. Try lining up some rock star quality tours for those artists.
No. What happens is the musical artists (the fact you focus on this proves you don't understand art in general) will simply do small performances (restricting recording devices, by the way), because there would be absolutely no incentive to spend the time and money producing even the first permanent recording when some ass will burst it around the world the next day, eliminating profits.
You also obviously fail to recognize that the stage fame and panties! are restricted to a minuscule percentage or musical artists. Yo Yo Ma probably doesn't generate that form of adoration. It's quite fifteenish in nature.
Another by the way, blooded fights between technologies work well for the higher technology. This is a level playing field, with both sides having all technology available.
What a stupid remark. The entire understood context to the phrase "yelling fire in a crowded theater" is about lying. To top it off, you state explicitly that you'll do the stupid thing, which is to behave hysterically. As if to laden the cake with idiot icing, you construct a straw argument to bolster your dumb concepts.
Hell, I'd be happy to interact with one that simply had some damned memory of the context of the conversation and didn't play the "Why did you ask that?" game. Haven't found a one that wasn't simply cute verbal tricks that were obviously hard programmed in.
I have. Moron is too much, but assembly is certainly not to begin with. It has very few uses in the wild and takes a certain rigor to program in well. As to the GP why, it teaches how a specific machine works. High level languages are (theoretically) machine independent.
Here's the thing: Directors of institutions having spent lengthy times formulating hypotheses have been known to fabricate not only their data, but the conclusions (see: climatology).
No. Wizards was an ungodly piece of crap rip off of other artists, but mostly Bode. Necron 99? Dead-ringer ripoff of Bode's Cobalt64 as well as most of the style used. Massive reuse of short clips to feign length and simply bad, bad, bad. Glad you liked it though, I sure didn't.
"In OpenOffice I have to run the spellchecker which opens a separate window to provide suggestions which I then have to close once I'm done and go back to working."
Just checked that out, since I have a story open at the moment. The incorrect word is highlighted with a jagged red line underneath and you right click over the word for a list of suggestions and accesses to dictionaries and such. I use 2.4. You mean they turned that off?

"a real artist gets paid in fame."

You understand you agreed with him and contradicted yourself, right?

Then don't work. All the you time you can stand.
And you accruing your vacation for a few years is just your way of waiting until you have a higher salary and skimming on that, right?

This is /. Nerds, geeks and a plethora of techno-species do not comprehend humor to a great degree.

Yeah, figuring out the effect hormones exert on the interactions of dendrites is such a trivial thing.
"A neural net is a simple self-modifying learning machine..."
True. But the brain is not just a neural net.

Not good enough. Open the thing at night and cut a trace.
This is flamebait, but two prior posts mocking an ex-pres inaccurately aren't?
You might take a long, hard look at your hypothesis, as the school system is essentially a liberal enclave.
Right after the paperless office is perfected.
"How often have we heard of new artists becoming famous thanks to the distributive power of the Internet ?"
New artists? Virtually none. Name a few.
"The way it works is that we grant you a temporary, strictly limited monopoly in exchange for your effort to produce and publish the work."
Which is exactly what he wants and answers your own question about the courts.
Why is it that people who think copyright is crazy always come up with examples that don't fall under copyright?
Aside from the speech - which is publicly disseminated - you have no clue as to who the authors of your examples are.
To the parent of this post, the thing has now been replaced.
"(and drive them in to debt with advances, forcing them to put out mediocre if not outright bad filler albums in order to catch up)"
You're confusing advances on a work with the artist's inability to manage their finances.
Advances on written work is just a partial or down payment on the full amount.
"I understand your point, but whip and buggy manufacturers had to find another job when technology changed and put them out of a job."
Because people no longer desired their product. Copying someone's work is pretty much the opposite of that.
All of whom made a living at what they did and all of whom are long damned dead. We're talking about current authors.
