Point being- can they reach a point where they just have to give up? I do believe at some point the world will look at the labels and say "SHUT UP", but I wonder if they realize it.
I'm a little curious to see how the music industry reacts to the next disruptive (to their business model) technology. You know something new will come down the pike soon.
Here we go again. Some one who hates jews and is going to describe them like some kind of aliens from outer space who are inhabiting the bodies of humans to take over the world. The sooner you get rid of your idiotic ravings the better you and people like you will be. You're your own worst enemy, really.
Reap what? A nuclear armed Iran? Yeah, we're scared. If Iran does produce a nuke it'll be squashed like a bug. You don't give a rabid dog a gun, you kill the dog.
Cutting class in high school and spending my lunches in Butte Hall helping CSUC undergrads use the CSU CDC timesharing system and telling them where to submit their stupid fortran batch job homework probably did more for me than 90% of all the time I wasted in K-9. Wrote a RSTS/e Basic + program to archive files together so that a user account didn't have to waste 80% of its allocation on unused "blocks" (the disk geometry of that machine was described in "blocks") got me in to the same school. Also wrote a MACRO-11 assembler program to give me SU privs. That almost got me kicked out. Fortunately I didn't do anything with it except show it to the instructor, who in turn almost got me kicked out. Luckly the provost was a reasonable sort.
Don't forget kids, Iran is a Western level society, Iraq it ain't!
Actually, from a military perspective, Iran shares a lot with Iraq under Sadam Hussein. Hussein with the support of the Ba'ath party installed a lot of loyal generals and political insiders, but the lower ranks hated him. Same thing is going on now in Iran; you have a number of religious zealot loyalists who are close to the "supreme leader" Ali Khamenei and his closest imams, and the lower ranks could'nt give a shit. Plus 2/3rds of Iran's population is under 30, and they're wanting iPods, not Jihads. Iran's foriegn policy is driven almost solely by a single-minded hate for Israel and the west (not just the US), and its entirely piloted by a group of conservative, religious, old men. Most of the population doesn't give a fuck about that crap. If there wa enough time everyone in charge of hating everything will die and Iran could join the rest of the world and get its ass out of the middle ages. The leadership knows this, so they're amping for a show-down now. Unfortunately.
"great for games" and such. - which essentially means servers.
Huh? how does that follow? You're talking like hosting game servers? "Great for games" doesn't mean hosted MMPG's or whatever, I don't even see how that's implied. Still, I'm on the consumer's side on this. I don't particularly feel love for Verizon when they advertise "unlimited" yet cut you off regardless. I've about had my fill of false advertisers and other liars.
"Good news everyone! I've invented the Smell-O-Scope! We'll be able to sniff that radiation out!" Prof. Farnworth two minutes before dying of radiation poisoning.
Finally, to give you a crude analogy in return - if I swing a pendulum and start measuring its position every second, I don't get a new pendulum every time...
Right. Arguably, every incoming ip frame is a new machine state, should we then patent the machine every time it processes a new ip frame? Of course not.
Since the purpose of a computer is to run programs, asking us to accept that a computer is a new computer everytime it runs a new program seems like a bit of a stretch, and leads me to believe that some judges still don't quite get computers.
I don't know about the hormone additives but eating anti-bacterial free meat now will do nothing for you, you might as well eat it if its cheaper than the other stuff. Heeding the lessons of food additives in this generation can only benefit our children's children. Its already too late for us. All you're doing is spending more money for your food, it will be no safer for you.
No it doesn't. Soap just serves to make the surface of your skin slippery enough to shed the little buggars. If we all really felt the need to kill germs sans anti-bacterial chemicals we should be washing with bleach, but since that's not really a good idea for your skin our military-industrial complex came up with "anti-bacterials". By the way- researchers were warning us about the rise of superbugs becuase we started down this stupid path 30 years ago. I guess as usual we all refused to listen. Now we have a huge, hideous, monster of a problem looming. Good job, humanity.
How irresponsible for them to cry that their competitors are destroying the environment less than they are.
They're only human. You have people yelling at you that you're destroying the planet enough times you tend to get jaded. Also, this is a little like claiming butchers are tired of sharpening their cleavers; if I'm a middle manager that last thing I want to hear from my stable of IT monkeys is "I'm tired of finding ways to cut costs." My response would be to point out where the door is. Last thing I need is a minion refusing to do something as important as cutting costs when possible.

The US sowed this so now they must reap it.

Something similar going on in Iran?
Support for Hezbollah and destabilization of Lebanon going on 30 years now, exportation of militant Islam and terrorism, a pact with North Korea to share nuclear bomb technology, "Since the 1980s North Korea has become known as a reliable supplier of arms to other countries including Iran." And of course Iran's repeated threats and calling for the destruction of Israel, a threat which you may not take seriously but if Iran did actually act on it would result in the entire middle east going up like a pool of gasoline. Yes, something similar is going on in Iran. And you're acting like an idiot. You should start taking the problems in the middle east seriously. The region is about to turn very ugly very quickly, more so than in the past.
Maybe launching destructive malware at Iranian infrastructure wasn't such a good idea.
Oh? Why? Curious to know exactly why trying to keep Iran from having nukes is a bad idea.
But they are not anywhere near the level of bullshit that Fox pulls off...
MSNBC is horribly slanted and incorrect in AS MANY stories as fox news. AS MANY.

...watch closely your computer. You can see that there are no elves taking the old computer and bringing a new one.
lolz!
Virtual machines anyone? I run applications like VirtualBox and vmplayer all the time.
Finally, to give you a crude analogy in return - if I swing a pendulum and start measuring its position every second, I don't get a new pendulum every time...
Right. Arguably, every incoming ip frame is a new machine state, should we then patent the machine every time it processes a new ip frame? Of course not.
...why we produce more mucus when we're sick...
Snot my problem, man.

regular soap kills bacteria just fine.
No it doesn't. Soap just serves to make the surface of your skin slippery enough to shed the little buggars.

Try being a politician, it seems to have worked for Bloomberg. Funny he didn't offer it as an alternative.
Right. That's why we have warrants. This move to streamline law enforcement into all our lives is the truly scary part.
I think having these wiretap backdoors is a worth the tradeoff of my liberty in favor of a better and safer world.
