Everyone likes a nice box and cover art instead of two cdrs and a handwriten index card in the case where someone downloaded a movie.
I personally don't care what the box looks like. My problem with downloaded movies is their quality. I'd much rather buy a DVD (or see the movie in theatres) than kazaa a copy if the DVD is well priced.
Instead of absorbing energy from light passing through windows (and reducing the amount of light you get in your building), why don't you put solar cells around the windows on the outside walls. Or on your roof... This seems like a complicated way of generating electricity when a similar simple solution already exists.
Since people are already paying a tax on their gas usage, they shouldn't have to pay tolls. Governments argue that the roads need to be payed for, but roads are such a help to the economy that the cost should be the responsibility of ALL taxpayers, not just the ones that use them. Think of the last ten things you've bought and try to guess how many of them did NOT use a highway or freeway to get to the store. Roads are the backbone of any nation.
Even though we all hate ad-ware and we know the average computer user is vunerable to it, the judge just can't find WhileU guilty when the user installed the program.
While both systems have their flaws, I suspect that more people will try to exploit the e-voting system than the current physical system. Currently, you either have to be present at the voting station, or in contact with a box of ballets to mess with the results. With the internet, there's less evidence to leave behind, and you can scam the system from the comfort of your home (or a public comp if you want less of a trail).
We have started a project to reverse engineer the format, and have made considerable progress. So far we have been sued for $10 million, and we are posting in hope of gaining even more attention to our work.
They aren't sueing the government, they're just asking for some licencing fees. The government can just hand over a little bit of cash and have it over with. If SCO threatens the government, they're up sh!t creek, but if they quietly send an invoice, the gov. just might fall for it.
If it doesn't, SCO's in the money. It's been said over and over that only idiots would buy licences from them, but the government is known for wasting money.
I hate to say this, but there are a lot of people on the inet that don't belong there. And of course, what i've been saying since 1997, you can pass all the laws you want, but enforcement is the problem.
Face it: you can't idiot-proof the net. Sorry, but this problem isn't going to go away.
This is just another example of "all students pirate music, so let's charge them for it".
It's not the university's responsibility to take all the students' money and then provide all kinds of services. The university should charge for and provide essential services (these days that could include internet) and let the students' spend their remaining money as they see fit. Universities should not dictate the entertainment of their students.
1.) Can you get insurance, both life and rocket insurance for this type of amateur space travel?
Insurance is only a way of evenly distributing the cost of damages across a group. If 1000 people buy house insurance and one house gets burned down at a cost of $200 000, the insurance pays for the damage with the $200 it collected from each homeowner. If only one rocket gets launched into space and crashes/burns at a cost of $1 million........
The main reason the RIAA still sells music, considering the music's quality, is that most people don't know there's someting better out there (most radio stations doesn't help). If some decent tracks are available on iTunes, and therefor get put beside popular music that's being searched by the "uneducated masses", people will be subjected to something that's good.

I don't see anything about drawing and quartering spammers in that legislation!
See how we've evaluated...what people think about PHP as an alternative to Java and .NET
.NET.
I don't know about java, but I can see anything as being a good alternative to
The military is always at the forefront of technology, so I'm sure there's plenty of oportunities for geeks like us.

The artists who make movies get paid reasonable sums of money for their work.
I still go to see movies. I no longer buy CDs from major labels.

Well, they still haven't figured out that the N-Gage is a crappy idea, so I'm not too suprised.

Well, Mickey Mouse has a star on the walk of fame, so your suggestion isn't really a stretch.
For my sake, what's godwin's law?
That means that although you can't work, you can still read slashdot! Wait, that's what you were doing anyways :P
Slashdot theme in 2 years: The only products that MS makes that doesn't suck are the penis pumps.

It's a glandular problem!
Of course SCO is going to want $699 added to the price.

for now,we have to live with it (or with what gets through our filters).
"If someone in senior management gets spammed," Mr. Lewis said, "it could take 20 or 30 hours of everyone's time, up and down the chain."
In other words, stop whining and hit delete.
If you want to see hokey CG, watch Episode 1. Actually, don't.
Damn you George Lucas!
