Last two times I had blood extracted, I passed out and held up the doctor's office for 15 minutes in the process. Oh well, it's back to pencil and paper. Unless it now requires paper cuts...
Has there ever been such a (seemingly) general disrespect of copyright? Given that this is only recently become such an enormous societal issue, I don't think there are any statistics or numbers; but if there were, would they show anything different from what this survey concluded? I actually tend to think that this attitude has been somewhat widespread, but that technology brings it to the forefront.
Except that the REALLY funny thing is that I wrote the ooga-booga. Let's just say I self-moderate myself, something more slashdotters should do. In fact, I think self-modding-down should be built-in. Sadomasochism!!!
Ehh, I had it coming to me. I was in a trolling mood.
After all, other civilizations had property rights. Maybe if he had said "for all"---alas, it is not true. How does the homeless person have ANY property rights?
Also, if I can defend something, I own it. In the absense of a social contract, it is show of force which rules the day. It seems to me that many of us are rejecting the current agreement with the distributors of music, and we ask for a new, more reasonable agreement.
I sound like an Age of Enlightenment philosopher...
P.S.: Don't post as an AC; get a user name, coward. I might have actually posted my address then.
Then our beef is with the OEMs. It's not our fault, but it is our responsibility to inform and enlighten Joe Sixpack, that they put pressure on the whole industry.
It's still a pipe dream, but every person who learns is a small victory.
I don't really want to turn this into a tech support forum, but...
Probably your modem is a winmodem: a crippled piece of hardware which requires Windows software in order to work. See this document (somewhat old) for some help.
In other words, this is the hardware manufacturers' fault, and not the OSS community's.

Well, I think if M$ has Mono, it would serve you well not to "get in bed" with them, so to speak.
Subscription fire service is only comparable to this donation service if everyone else who subscribed were actually the ones who put out the fire, like a fire brigade.

What happened to the last $9?
'Cause we seem to be on the theme of Disney lately... From an old trip to Florida:
Moving right along...
Sorry SCO, no spare $699. But I think my soul's up for rent.
Damnit, don't insult Letterman like that.
Besides, I don't watch any network which partners with M$...
(Psss... bersl... what about ESPN (@ MSN [annoying butterfly logo])...)
Shaddup.

See, now they're getting little kids used to being tracked. And they're---they're...
Damn, out of tin foil. I guess I'l have to stop.
Isn't that one thing that gets them in anti-trust trouble?
...because the weather and the dead always control the outcome.
It'd be great for those IRC'ers who type with, uh, one hand.
So when you flip the switch, the http protocol will also fail, and we'll be forced to revert to---to...

In the future, I'm not going to use boldface type. Apparently, NOTHING SPEAKS LOUDER THAN CAPS!!!1!
Maybe I should've written it like this: GREAT

But enough with this missionary crap!
"What could be more rewarding than helping to promote two great American traditions: music and property rights?" Bainwol said in a statement.
Who said property rights was a great American tradition? And rewarding for whom? Certainly not for us.
but we can't have more trolls on this post (2) than actual posts (1), now can we?

I meant "refreshingly weird" as a compliment, as opposed to "who forgot to flush the toilet?!" weird, which describes the US legal system.
GPL May Not Work In German Legal System, but also this news.
The German legal system is refreshingly weird, unlike the American legal system.
I downloaded a movie about a "beast" of Brussels---oh, wait... it was Amsterdam. Never mind...
It fit in the Shuttle to begin with. I mean, what complications can possibly accompany such a choice? After all, this isn't Mir or Skylab.
Um... last time I checked, you could run non-GPL'ed programs on a Linux system.
