wouldn't this kind of automattic assumption of guilt, or being punished when no harm (no downloads) was done be contrary to human rights?
so just take the RIAA or whoever to the European Court of Human Rights http://www.echr.coe.int/
does the US have an equivalent? is that the Supreme Court?
yes but I don't think free speech is an absolute right. and I don't think many people outside the US (where people dogmatically cling to the constitution/bill of rights as if it were written by God and not some fallable humans living in a completely different world) do either.
imho, restrictions on free speech are okay and exist in many forms (even in US), examples being libel, slander, abuse, contempt of court, security, personal privacy...
imho functionality goes FAR BEYOND that of Windows

I have SuSE 8.2 Pro with KDE.
I run my monitor at 1600x1200 with KDE and it looks beautiful and text is very clear and large. the taskbar is a good size.
I run Windows ME at the same resolution and it looks crap because Windows doesn't scale anything. the taskbar shrinks to a thin strip, text is just a blocky as at lower resolutions but is also smaller.
multiple desktops in KDE/Gnome are also fantastic.
I know XP has taskbar icon grouping, but nothing approching the flexibility of eg. KDE
the only things I've heard about.NET is
1. it involves pathetic services like having every single piece of personal info on a MS server so they can eg. use your credit card to automatically buy concert tickets for you
2. C# is an evil MS ploy to get more control
btw OT: imo PHP sucks cos most of the errors I get browsing are PHP related, and usually on line 5 or something. in fact, apart from not actually being connected to the internet, or the website being unavailable, PHP is the only source of error I come across...
just use perl and cgi ffs
if you sit in the back seat of a car and don't wear a seatbelt, you're more likely to kill the person in front of you than kill yourself. hence the ads on UK television.

I wonder if Revolutions will have a cheesy "previosuly on The Matrix.... [various clips including 'I'm not letting go, I love you too damn much']
the only truely necessary cost I can think of is bandwidth. doesn't sourceforge etc. provide this free?
got ignorance?

MS attacking PC gaming means attacking themselves. the only reason I use Windows is because of PC games.
in crap overpriced hardware that isn't running linux.
Anyone working repairing broken computers, just slap a "made for Windows" sticker on and sell to slashdotters for $500.
yeah and how do you put pressure on the ISPs? write a nasty letter? idiot.
so the RIAA can blow up your PC?
and by saying "utilise" he sounds like an ignorant dolt repeating the jargon he's been indoctrinated with (...imho...)
sorry.
