The license is that you wont distribute copies.
Your right in the fact that it's 'buyer beware' but thats for most things now.
You can always sell the movie on Ebay, or take it to a used cd/dvd store. At least that way, you're not totally losing out.
What I was trying to say was that, everyone laughs and says that because those movies sucked,there was no way that anyone was going to buy them anyway. Therefore the guy is somehow justified in pirating it, because he wouldnt have bought it. Then there is the general shock that the *IAA are coming after you. How do you know that this guy didnt get these, and was taking them and selling copies on the street?
But at the same token,/. was pointing out that someone somewhere had violated the GPL.
So my question is that why is one license ok to break but not the other ?
Hahaha no doubt. Its becuase they think that they can change the a-hole into something else. Thats a challenge for them.
I told my wife that book name thing, she laughed and agreeed.
instead of/bin/usr/bin
why not just/bin/usr/bin/local
etc etyc
then you wouldnt get into as many repeating directories.
If I don't know any better, let me know.
I can see what you are saying, however, I think that it will force trhe companies to compete on a level playiong field. Kind of like the old beta max, DVD standard thing. Once everyone agrees, and the public accepts it, then it will be time to move on. Then everyone else will be able to enjoy it, and isnt that the whole idea behind this ?
I agree, I think that standards such as directory structures and all that. It might not be as important. But that is a start. It takes too damn long someimes to figure out where X is on my system. It should be here, but its over there.
I also think that this would be good for having a strong divx like layer. I love linux, but there seems to be too many fads, and flavors-of-the-months for things like that. Games and all that would love something that is common to all sytems.
As long as the layer isnt imbedded into the kernel. L) MMMMMMMMMM Standards
I think that something like this on a smaller scale hooked up to Hondas Hydrogen generator,would make for some sweet stuff. SomeOne else was talking about this as distributed generating, where we sell the unesed power back to the grid.
That way is removes the need for largeer nuclear stations.
This solar panel / wind-generator was something I was thinking of for my house. I was thinking of couple of small scale ones to power some batterties to run my pcs.
But it seems somene beat me to it. thats preatty fly..
But I think that there is (somewhere) something that points to how much material goes into making things. I think that for every PC there is almost ton used. So I think that anything that uses that much hugh-tech is going to be wasteful. I think that proper tree - managment plans, as well as reducing the font on the typeritten paper, would reduce the amount of trees being used.
I wonder,(not scientifically), that maybe we aren't a transplanted coloney from Mars, or that there were a coupple of them. We happened to escape the fate that they went through. Makes a little more sense. The closer that you look at things.
I think that you are confusing stupidity with ignorance. Ignorance can be cured.
I'd rather a million ignorant then 1 stupid person.
I feel that I am being forced to download another IM just to converse with all these people. I liked GAIM in Linux, because it is one client All networks. Not that it had very much support for many features. But it didnt necessarily lock you out. Most of us use the im for chatting anyway.

Someone did some research, showed the reason that cell phone use was bad while driving, is in fact because the phone switchs towers so often duringthe conversation.
The delay is something that your brain reacts too, and tries to correct.
A good way to test this theory is to take a mic, and some headphones, then get a cheap audio program. Then take a news paper article, and read it outloud. Then introduce some delay using the audio program,so that there is some time between whats cokming out of your mouth and into your ear. I remeber doing this in grade school. It was preatty intersting stuff. Explains how it happens.
You dont get the delay on your cell phone when you are standng still or walking. But driving on the highway, not a good idea. Why is saying dont do somethijn stupid because you dont understand it ?n
Why would it matter how much they make ? These 8 people *probably* signed an NDA to not disclose the screener. Would it make any difference if this happened to Google ?
Agreements are agreements.
I dont think that there will be any sort of lawsuit or fingerpointing. I think that the whole point was to show the similarities between the products. Also to show how simplicity of design is key.
Its their product, they can do what ever they want with it. Do you think COCA-Cola protects its secrets ? Why is that any different ?
What is also interesting that we decide that when companies violate the GPL, we need to do something. But, when other folks want to protect their interests they are evil ?
What is hypocritical about one group protecting their interests against those they feel wrong them? Whether or not the law suit will stand up in court is another matter.
AMD sues INTEL, Apple Sues MS, happens all the time. Its all part of the penal system. Since you cant put the companie in jail, all you can do is sue them.
The reason that they went after DVDjon, wasnt that he cracled the code, and made himself a linux-player, is that he posted the crack on the internet. There is the difference. I think that if they hammered on that part of it, they would have been more likely to succeed.

Could you not apply the same logic to the Gpl, in the sense that because some open source software sucks, so why can't I ignore the GPL
Hahaha no doubt. Its becuase they think that they can change the a-hole into something else. Thats a challenge for them. I told my wife that book name thing, she laughed and agreeed.
I have a book. Men are from Mars, women are nuts.
When you have Acid or Shrooms instead ?
Why would you feel the need for the extra 3rd party ?
The State ALWAYS has its citezens best interest at heart ??
Isnt that right Comrade ?
instead of /bin /usr/bin
why not just /bin/usr /bin/local
etc etyc

of the ad-based PCS that they gave away, what was the name ?
Yeah, its emasculated by the whims of Christian Fanatics.

Maybe instead of having the little green arrow, add in "There are updates available", or something.

I guess that would upset you allot.

Yah, stop watching soo much TV!!!

Wouldn't this be better under 'hardware' ? Interesting to note how far this went.. Funny when you 'do the right thing' you end up being screwed.
Why would it matter how much they make ? These 8 people *probably* signed an NDA to not disclose the screener. Would it make any difference if this happened to Google ? Agreements are agreements.
Seems to me that Sony did the same with Betamax. Not that tey didnt learn from their mistakes. Just how history repeats itself.
I dont think that there will be any sort of lawsuit or fingerpointing. I think that the whole point was to show the similarities between the products. Also to show how simplicity of design is key.
