    How about instead of saying "Unknown Partition", make a driver that allows read access to the FS drivers in the linux kernel?

    MS: Linux may have been good for you, but we provide you the tools to migrate your data back to a "Complete MS Solution". We support all fileystems that Linux can read and write to, along with BASH scripting and posix programs by default. We also run a Linux compat layer, like BSD, so we can run native ELF executables without changing.

    The bit about their heirs is a good thing though. Why?

    If we say 20 yrs or death, whichever is shorter, then we apply a pressure to encourage "risky behavior" that might result in death. Whoops. Public domain Bayyybe!
    If we say 20 years flat, whatever is in the will is where it goes for the duration. It prevents that "Whoops" behavior I could see companies could encourage.

    The problem with patents are different.

    The patent tradeoff was that if you tell us how you did it completely, we'll provide protection for a duration. US duration is 17 years max.

    The big problem is that lawyers have taken off in this regard and destroyed the "how to do" part, so that they get the protection without full disclosure. Well... that problem and allowing math and living creature patents.

    That's because you probably have, by default, set the text mode to "HTML formatted". You need to use html tags for that mode. If you dont, it squishes it into 'tl; dr' mode.

    If you use "Plan Old Text", it then appears as proper line breaks.

    Like. This.

    True, Jefferson was a slave owner, but that's aside the point. I believe there's a logical fallacy in that kind of reasoning.

    "delve that far back into history to decide what a religion believes"

    But, we dont need to. Go read the Koran. Taste the cruelty and hatred. I'm sure you can find the links to the cruelty in the Bible too here.

    And there's been plenty of Fatwas about infidels and such things. And that they want to see the flag of Islam over the White House. That hatred has never been gone. Too bad, though. I'm sure the world would be a much more interesting place if we had free communication from the lands that created Algebra and so much schools of thought the past ages. Now, they care nothing of rights (especially women) and are willing to see horrible things happen to those NOT of their religion. At least, Christ taught that of compassion towards all... Too bad that Christians aren't the same.

    "One of the things Thomas Jefferson did get right, though, was separation of church and state"

    True, he was right about that, for sure. However, I just highlighted the fact that this wasn't the first time we went against Muslim Pirates. That was more of a fact than a "Ban Islam!!!". Of course, since I cannot read Arabic, I cannot comment on what the nature of the Quran says. I can, however, read translations. And they are violent. Even moreso than the Bible, on average and sheer number. Both books share good and bad, but the bad is just so overwhelming that I can accept neither.

    And yes, I am a citizen of the USA. And no, I'm not busting on Muslims. They did it to themselves by letting the fanatics take over their religion and many of their "important" peoples. It was just my opinion that their religion seems disgusting. It's a fact that they treat their women like cattle, and that they have accepted actions like this before.

    You know, after Septerber 11, 01, I was waiting for a mulla to denounce the bombings. I watched the tv news. I watched the internet. None ever did.

    Boo hoo.

    Commercial boats are fishing in their areas. They, as a sovereign power have a really cool thing called a Letter of Marque they can use. Any ship in their national border could be boarded, plundered and ship taken. However, this would count if they are in national waters with approval of their government.

    Now, go look where these recent pirates were at: NOWHERE near Somalia national waters.

    Secondly, you did NOT read the quote or the source where it was linked to. Its not some "superficial religious differences". It's they literally want Sharia, and they believe that non-believers are only worthy as a slave race. For that, they AND their religion can go to hell. Literally and figuratively.

    Why the hell NOT guns?

    It's what the pirates use. And it's been used for hundreds of years as the first deterrents. Even our military used cannonfire against the first pirates when they captured one of our civilian vessels back in the 1800's. Those pirates then were Muslim during 1700Barbary War, and gee, the pirates are still in Muslim lands.

    What else than guns? Try RPGs.

    That's what pirates, no, Peoples of Islam understand. Power.

    In 1786, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams went to negotiate with Tripoli's envoy to London, Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman or (Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja). Upon inquiring "concerning the ground of the pretensions to make war upon nations who had done them no injury", the ambassador replied:

            It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every muslim who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy's ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once.

    Not exactly.

    Once certain companies gain a certain critical mass, they are seen as "vital to the economy" and the government will bend over to them. In cases of copyrights and media companies, this means a rather unfair Media Tax.

    Garbage like this also guarantees that killing them is that much tougher. Government has seen to their protection, so then govt is the thing that needs to be brought down a notch to stop the support.

    You're twisting my idea.

    The big record companies ARE pushing insane amounts of money in advertising. Because of that, the top 100 would almost likely be top 100 of copyrighted of those interests. However, that is in inexorable uphill battle in which more and more people understand that you can download for free. We might already be at that point. Once we pass that tipping point, money will start to dwindle for the RIAA/MPAA members and advertising budgets will assuredly fall.

    Only when the advertising budgets fall will the indies and amateur musicians take over a nice portion of the top 100 spectrum. It might happen tomorrow, but highly unlikely now.

    You do realize this is a battle of who "owns" our culture? Cultures prior to this mass media culture have been open to accept and open to change. Only recently have we locked our culture behind a pay-gateway. It's about time this pro-capitalism culture gateway be broken, and broken for good. Or at least, they could "allow" the gateway be breached by allowing copyright to pass the date of 1/1/1921.
