I propose the addition of a new entry into jargon files:
Enroned(v. p. p.), To have one's rsum or reputation tarnished by a former (or current) employer.
USAGE: Man, I was totally Enroned the second it hit the news that my CTO was skimming the pot I've got no chance at a good job until this dies down a bit.
Because the TV industry's desires are right in line with the Recording and Motion Picture industries'.
YRO will have to be limited to/. and other web forums (like k5, MeFi, HuSi, LJ, etc.)
We're not talking about a "rent" (the economics term: a price given for something with a fixed supply) but rather the price of consumer electronics -- A generally nation-invariant value.
Nope. The DMCA has an exception for "compatibility" issues. MS doesn't make Word for *n?x, so the compatibility argument stands. Just because the OOo team ports it to other platforms that do have Office (OSX, Windows), doesn't matter.
I did read my sources and they told me that there was no clear "islands" of either "Red" or "Blue." That's my sole point: maps based on area are misleading because it makes it look like "dem damn libaralz" are just from New England or CA, which is a pure fictionaliation. And as fellow child of your parent post said: Gore still won the popular vote. (And yes, I do know that the popular vote is not what "counts" in our democracy, just pointing out a little tidbit of useful information.)
I agree with you, and at the risk of being redundant, I would like to offer a change to your post. The second statement of your post should read:
"When's the last time 2600 planned the murder of anyone?"
That said, I still fear that at some point (especially if GWB gets re-"elected") 2600 might get itself onto such a list. Along with the ACLU, the EFF and a whole bunch of people who are pro-individual-rights.
While the movie companies do not directly get compensation for rentals, rental tapes and DVDs cost significantly more than consumer tapes and DVDs. Something on the order of $100 to $250 depending on the film.
Incidentally, I found this out when I was looking to buy a copy of Barenaked in America. I found out the company licensed it exclusively to Blockbuster and subsequently went out of business. The only copies available for purchase were rental tapes, and they were really effin expensive.
Except, of course, that both Vorbis and MP3 are both lossy codecs. And you don't want to compound loss like that. A previous poster suggested reripping from CD's that you own. That is the correct route for Vorbis "conversion" if you want any kind of sound quality in your new files.
Except that the Fizzer worm was going to use that website to update itself regardless of what "the good guys" did. This is simply an update which negates the worm. Yes, there are some issues about Geocities just giving out control over one of their members' accounts. Of course, he violated Geocities' good faith (and probably their TOS), and thus had the option of revoking his account. If it makes you feel any better, that's really what they did, revoked his account, and gave the "good guys" one with the identical URL.

The /. community educated this guy. Seems fair to me.

But when you say "China" is cheap and "Hong Kong" is not, you are saying two contradictory things, since "Hong Kong" is a subset of "China"

China has Hong Kong.

Both of your maps are still misleading because they prey on the human tendancy to say "more area" means "more overall".
Check out this map indexed by population
And then compare that map with a population density map and you might get an idea as to exactly how few people are in those big blocks of red.
No, he's an emo nerd

Most of the GPL-ed software I've seen says it's copyrighted under the GPL version 2 [that's the current version] or higher.
So when higher comes along, most of the GPL-ed software will follow automatically.
None of them ever ran *BSD

Yes, I realize this fear's irrational.
So's the Bush administration.
Didn't try a mouse, but my roommate's Apple Keyboard worked fine. No restarting X, hell, the damn thing worked on the console too.
Not true, if you have even the slightest chance of getting a death penalty, Canada will NOT extradite.
Of course, the day that there's capital punishment for file sharing will be the day that Canada gains 200 million illegal immigrants.
I see all these people talking about how 2.4 is what SCO is complaining about.
What about 2.5 or 2.6? Have these bits of code been re-engineered out, or are they also "infringing"?
Now his "52" cd burners will be worth 104!

Thank you very very much, good sir!
