Uh... Marx's economic system is based almost entirely on Hegel's views of historical determinism, so not so much "not so much". The fact that Kruschev bought in to Marx's more metaphysical mumbo-jumbo doesn't mean he invented the idea. It just shows he was a better Marxist than Stalin and Lenin were.
If they don't check referrers, they would have no idea all the hits were coming from the same webpage, as the requests themselves come from the IPs of the users who are loading the page, not the server where it's hosted.
Do you personally have any troubles with it? About 4 years ago I had a charge on there that I didn't make. I called VISA and said, hey guys, I didn't make this charge.
Or if you're a Citibank customer, even if you're not in Soviet Russia, credit card company calls you.
No, really. Someone with an IP address in Armenia tried to buy something online with my Citibank card, and they called me to see if it was really me. Of course, if I had been in Armenia, they probably wouldn't have been able to get in touch with me very easily.
That's State Capitalism, as opposed to laissez faire capitalism (which, like true communism as opposed to State Communism, has never existed anywhere on a large scale). Taking from the many to give to the few is certainly not socialism.
I see the annoying popup, but I haven't have mail.app crash when dragging the certificate out. I think (# of people using self-signed IMAP-ssl) * (% for whom dragging cert crashes mail.app) is pretty low.
Unless they deleted the original website, it's not theft. The creator of the content still has that content. It's called copyright violation, which is a domestic civil law violation and it's neither illegal nor morally wrong to do it across national boundries. Websites want to be copied.
Then why exactly haven't the owners of the tons of open proxy machines that pass on virusrs and spam gone to jail yet? It's the same thing, except the virus writers and spammers don't have to actually physically be near their houses to use their computers.
Besides which, it's not a copy of the iPod's software, it's a copy of the iPod's hardware interface in software. And apparently it's no longer an exact copy, according to comments on MacDailyNews (where it's also mentioned that the Serive Unavailable message was there yesterday, before the story hit slashdot). From the site updates that no one can see, it seems like they've talked to Apple and changed some things (like the name, from pPod to pBop.
Anyway, I'm fairly certain Apple's relevant patents on the iPod are for the actual hardware design, and it'd be hard to sue for a software ripoff that doesn't even have all of the iPod's features (like non-MP3 sound file compatibility)
Yes, they teach such worthwhile values as the necessity of discriminating against homosexuals, athiests, and agnostics. Help keep America great by spreading bigotry.
Well, conidering the size, resolution, and color depth of most PDA screens, not to mention the available storage on them, I'd think high quality rips would be pretty pointless.
Wow, you really need to get some Slack before your head explodes. I suggest wrapping the win foil a bit looser and letting "Bob" into your wallet instead of into your fillings.
Well yes, their new web design is ugly, but it's probably more in line with what the sheriff's department should have. The webmaster claims that his site was the largest law enforcement site in the world. Why the hell would a fairly small county in Michigan want to run the world's largest law enforcement site? If that's the site he wanted to develop, he should have done it on his own and not involved the sheriff's department in any way. Cybersquatting on the domain name they'd been distributing as theirs and then trying to charge them $300,000 for content they didn't want is extortion.
It really just shows that if you're going to let someone design a site for you pro bono, you should make sure they're not the type of person who's going to be obsessed with creating some huge portal that they won't be able to afford to support. I'd recommend a good online personality test that would help them determine this, but my favorite such site was taken down because they made it too good and couldn't afford it anymore. Oh the irony!

Just wait until they embed a web browser into the BIOS and destroy IE's market share...
If I buy a Porsche, I'm not going to whine that the addons cost more than they do for a Taurus.
Do you really believe that the owners of slashdot's servers and your ISP couldn't track you down if they really felt like it?

Uh, shouldn't that be "In Soviet Russia, you are split evenly among the bread!"?

anybrowser.com is not w3c compliant, either.
* Burn it on CD, send multiple copies to every person in the world, lose lots of money, then buy a major media company.

Or maybe Hollywood, like many writers, likes to revisit classic stories because they're good stories, not because there's no copyright on them.
The copyright for the Arabian Nights did not "run out", as the stories were written long before copyright existed.
Then why exactly haven't the owners of the tons of open proxy machines that pass on virusrs and spam gone to jail yet? It's the same thing, except the virus writers and spammers don't have to actually physically be near their houses to use their computers.
Or because Rupert Murdoch gets approval to buy Viacom, Hughes, and Disney all at the same time.

And you can't use a GUI tool to edit your crontab file because...?
Please explain in which sector AOL has a monopoly.
He was only asking for $20 for eternal salvation when I joined the Church, but thanks for asking.
Amazingly enough, BBC News' website is not a scientific journal, and therefore is not the publisher of his scientific research.
