Meh, personally I would fine 1% of average annual revenue for the first offense, 10% on the second, 100% on the third.. etc. This would guarantee that the company goes belly-up sooner than later if they keep up their shady practices.
Errr wow. Okay, ignore my other post. I was reading your "Peek-pie" in French rather than in English so it sounded completely wrong. Yes, with the English accent "Pik-pie" is fairly close.
Lets use a car analogy, and the person didn't know if their car is front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, or all wheel drive (I am leaving out 4 wheel drive because there is normally a button that says so).
Admittedly I myself know shit-all about cars, so I may need a bicycle analogy for your car analogy.
Isn't "all wheel drive" the same as "4 wheel drive"? How many cars that you've driven don't have four wheels?
I was always an Asimov and Heinlein fan, but Frank herbert's Dune series is a masterpiece. It's well written, readable, and makes one think about politics, religion, and a host of other things. Its only drawback is the same as LOTR - it's very, very long.
Why is long a drawback? I hate finishing books that I've been enjoying reading. By that I mean I finish them but I always wish there was more. I'll add the caveat that this really only applies to novels, series like LOTR are covered so completely that there are no blanks to fill in by the end.
HHGTG I started reading and absolutely loved it. I put it down for a while because I didn't want to finish it right away, then I was robbed, and I can't find the book anymore.:'(
I haven't given up hope in finding it in my messy apartment, but who the hell would break in just to steal a book when there's many thousands of dollars in running computer equipment literally 10 feet from my bed?
There's a fairly simple flaw in your shielded box theory (I've worked on a satellite, so I know at least this much).
Radiation hardened hardware means that the hardware itself can withstand certain amounts of radiation. This combined with dust motes (google SMART Dust) and you've covered all your bases fairly inexpensively.
If a radiation shielded box were to be used this takes up more space in the ship, and space in a shuttle costs A LOT of money (approx $40,000 USD per cubic foot last I heard).
Windows NT 4 was much more stable than NT 3.x. Every version of Windows after ME was better than Windows ME. Windows 3.11 was better than Windows 3.0 and Windows 3.0 was a huge improvement over Windows 2.0...
Correction, Windows will not be a sane security environment until they use linux under the hood.:) That should be a fairly big switch over from just "borrowing" linux's networking stack and utilities (tracert, etc).
what the hell is with the "My Tags" thing? I can't click the "!" or the "x" because they disappear as soon as I go anywhere near them (read: even 1 pixel off the actual tag). I don't know how I managed to click the "!" but now I can't remove it. I guess the fact that I was able to click it must be a bug? Logical!

That depends, did you turn the disasters option off?

Well duh! Why do you think we're all being Educated Stupid? :)
Damnit, I wish I had mod points.

heh....
That's actually pretty good if you're in the south of France.
If you're in Paris, "Peek-pie" will do.
As a tourist maybe.
Try "Peek-Pa-ee-ye".
You tried to mow her grass but couldn't cut it?

[...]all 6 billion people on Earth were your friends[...]
Can 3 billion of them be "with benefits"?

Pff that's not actual size, that's like displaying an enhanced 4 foot poster of a fly. ... :)
I'll be sticking with my default tag for all SCO stories: "sadonecrobestiality".
Ummmm.... Y'know, I don't recall where I first heard this, but people usually kick dead horses, they don't fuck 'em... :)
Heh, the first time I read the title I saw "..Collaborative Waiting".
One wonders how that'd work!
So THAT's what their bathrooms are for!
Oh, this was supposed to be funny? Posting to retract my -1 Flamebait.
Apparently I need to be recalibrated.
How many genes must a geneticist wear out before we call it a gene?
The answer my friend,
is bubbling in a lab.

I think you can change your sig now. :)
That was exactly my first thought too. This problem has already been solved with that solution.

It allows you to protect and share content in the home, in a way that people own the content, not the devices.
Um, to play music you need a device. This means you own both the content and the device. You won't convince consumers otherwise.
Idiot.
EVERY version of Windows has more bugs...
Windows NT 4 was much more stable than NT 3.x. Every version of Windows after ME was better than Windows ME. Windows 3.11 was better than Windows 3.0 and Windows 3.0 was a huge improvement over Windows 2.0...
I could go on...
Sure you could!
But not for much longer.

It's becoming too expensive because the doctrine is being abused to no end for monetary gain rather than the protection of the property.
