The argument I find most convincing about NOT transating technical words is that you have to learn several names for the same thing...
As suchm if a french begins speaking in english and he wouldn't have learned the english term then... yes it's a good moment to pee in your pants now... (because most of technical documents is in english)
I think all the Linux comunity should buy a license...
This way, when they shaky grounds become quicksand, all the linux community may sue them into getting back what they payed.
Revenge is sweet...
...the term `enabling soft-ware' means software that, when installed on the user's computer, enables 3rd parties to store data on that computer, or use that computer to search other computers'contents over the Internet.''
1) doesn't require a computer to access web pages 2) has lots of internal memory and automatically download all my MP3 3) Connects to slashdot and checks any new articles 4) if it's encrypted, automatically tries to infiltrate itselt 5) costs less than $10
I guess I am picky sometimes but here goes...
1 - the ability to manage downloads: if the guy loses his connection/ computer hangs/etc when (s)he is downloading and is not able to resume it they will be very p... off Besides, if (s)he has a dial up connection, (s)he will want to download the songs little by little...
2 - Encoding quality. Depending on the kind of music, higher encoding rates (160/192 for MP3)are a must. Example: heavy metal, music with lots of left/right channel division,etc. You may experiment having lower quality samples (32/64 for MP3) for free
You may also want to experiment with other formats AAC and OGG are very good even at 128 (almost CD quality) WMA is good but has two problems (IMHO). Closed source (but there are linux players) and quality shifts a lot depending on the kind of music...
Another option is to have "golden ears" flac files (more expensive, of course...)
Offering the jewel cases is a good idea. I don't think you should charge too much for these (or maybe somthing like: buy the whole CD and you get the picture...)
Next thing, RIAA will implant a DRM chip in our brains, so the signal is decoded there and injected there directly into your hearing part of the brain...
But still, you could hack that...
The best thing about DMCA is since you can't break the encriptin, the methods will became ever more simpler (i.e. simpler than rot13... maybe rot1) making it easy to break...

Browser Wars II: The Empire Strikes back
The rebel forces, lead by master Andressen, after winning the first battle, have been defeated

Rumor says that the Emperor has focusing his
efforts in a weapon so powerful, it could destroy
all open source of the universe...

port it to as many systems as possible, even non-targert systems. possibly AIX, old Digital Unix.. you name it.
Except for SCO's systems, where you will produce several bugs and blame it on them
I would like to announce that parts of an SO I made found their way into the linux kernel. All users up to the 2.6 kernel are in violation.
I'll therefore be collecting my XISIKS (that's the name of my OS) licenses from everybody that runs linux.
Please send your chack to my address and I won't sue you. Promise...
Thank you.
BTW I won't show anyone the code. SCO didn't do it!
Do you mean the Linux one is: With great power comes... greater coolers?

What about scanner jammers???
What about keeping an old tag in your pocket?
This is going to be fun!

I think this method would be great when paired with the previous laughing recognition method presented here
I mean:
1 - Computer displays inkblot
2 - User begins to laugh
3 - login
4 - PROFIT!!!
...the term `enabling soft-ware' means software that, when installed on the user's computer, enables 3rd parties to store data on that computer, or use that computer to search other computers'contents over the Internet.''
OMG! They are going to sue Google!
You bastards!!!
I have another couple of requirements too:
1) doesn't require a computer to access web pages
2) has lots of internal memory and automatically download all my MP3
3) Connects to slashdot and checks any new articles
4) if it's encrypted, automatically tries to infiltrate itselt
5) costs less than $10
thank you...

Yeah, and the NYT will probably want to patent NOARCHIVE (i.e. technology to prevent unwanted access to a site by spiders)... Makes me wanna puke...
