What if the blacked out word is not in the dictionary? Most of these blacked out things are very likely names or places, things that could not be so easily brainstormed or listed.
The XBMC Package 1.0 Beta can be downloaded from Bittorrent at www.Emule.com.
What? Bittorrent has nothing to do with emule. Emule has nothing to do with emule.com. I hate to be picky, but I have to wonder about the rest of this article.
How many people have valid licenses but don't use valid cd keys? For instance, does Dell give cd keys for their products?
Having an invalid cd key does not necesarily mean the product is pirated.
If I gave my dad a Linux distro cd and he installed it (well, tried to install it) most likely he wouldn't see much about GPL either. Even if he did, he wouldn't have a clue what it was talking about. GPL? That's the same as PJL to him: as in, three random capital letters. Most people that care about whether something is GPL already know if it is GPL.
As long as Sun relases the source for any changes they make, they don't have to mention that the software used is GPL. That's the beauty of GPL. If you think Sun should have to include some notices, perhaps you should think about using a different license.
In the end, this is going to result in silly problems. A while back the maintainer of the linux-doc package said he was giving up on keeping all the docs "free".
Why?
Because going through each text and checking licenses was too much of a hassle.
I highly doubt that most users have the desire to modify documentation and firmware. I think they'd much rather prefer to be able to use device XXX because firmware was still included in the code.
This is a giant step backwards for Debian, if you ask me.
Despite my very positive first impressions, I couldn't get XYZ to work with my sound card at all, even though I was testing XYZ on a brand new PC from a major vendor.
He acts like having new components is a good thing. As far as linux support goes, you're better off having old stuff. Non-embedded old stuff is even better.
He didn't mention exactly what sound chipset he was using, so I can't say whether he just didn't know how to configure it (this should not be an argument from the windows users perspective).
This could all be done today - Microsoft would just have to download a patch into your player - but once TC makes it hard for people to tamper with the player software, and easy for Microsoft and the music industry to control what players will work at all with new releases, it will be harder for you to escape.
I think I finally just understood TC, and I'm not quite as scared as I used to be. All these software lockdowns would happen today, but people would find ways around them. If TC came about, people would still find ways around them; more specifically in not buying TC. I'm sure Microsoft knows of all the computers using pirated copies of XP, but they can't go and sue everyone because the public would get angry.
Try explaining to any person why they can't use their computer to do something they want to. In the end, computers are not being licensed to their owners, and the owners will not settle for being treated like they are.

I'm honestly surprised it took them so long to figure out to add some kind of distinguishing mark(s) to movies! I'm kind of curious who this guy is, though.

Read the website. An anonymous proxy was not used.
Why not?
I must be missing something.
A quick check shows my home-town city is not in Webster's. I doubt many Iraqi cities would be. By places I mean more specific than a country.

Also that is only for criminal court (in the US).

That's just as bad as companies "stealing" open source software as their own.
You don't have a license to modify and distribute it.

Of course they will... for a price.

A while ago I found something called freecache.
Try downloading from this link and eventually it should get mirrored on high speed servers.
Two thoughts:
Somehow I doubt music releasers will release "super mp3s" with this tracking stuff.
How does it work? Does it change the file? If so, people are unlikely to download it on P2P networks that support multiple source downloads.
I'm not really sure I see her point here.

If I buy a preinstalled system, I save myself the time and just format it!

C is inferior, yes. It's hardly dead though.
If humans don't have 100% accuracy, who/what is defining what spam is?
They should add a bounty too! What better way to say the Linux community treats such DoS'ing lamers as outcasts?
Also, doesn't $250K sound a little steep for SCO? Aren't they seriously running out of money?

They don't want money. They want the source.
