Always depends on what you do. If you're a real live band you can make money that way. If you're someone who's good at creating tracks with a certain mood with nothing but a synthesizer you might make money easier by selling CD-Rs over eBay (which, by the way, works; I just recently bought one directly sold by the artist).
How you make money depends on what you do. A lounge band will probably want to have gigs in casinos or places that like to pretend they're classy. A trance, um, artist will probably want to sell over the internet (using any venue he's comfortable with). A shallow pop formation will most definitely want to go through a traditional record company; nobody else can get their faces onto the covers of all those teenie magazines.
Seriously, why do you want to buy an iPhone if you just want a mobile telephone? If you want a no-frills mobile phone you buy something like a Nokia 1110i. If you want a semi-frilly mobile with stuff like Bluetooth you might be able to justify dropping 100 bucks on it. But an iPhone is ridiculously expensive if you don't want a smartphone that does everything anyone might ever want or not want.
I'm not the target demographic for the iPhone but I also don't complain about it. (I do, in fact, complain about it only doing OpenGL ES 1.1 and not 2.0 - if it did I could apply the same knowledge to develop for the iPhone and the Pandora.)
A liquid form would be nice. I know it's hypothesized to exist but import tariffs preclude its existence (and thus observation of its existence) in Europe. The only state Bawls can exist in in Europe is a solid granulate - and no matter what ThinkGeek says, putting that in anything will not yield a delicious drink.
A liquid Bawls vendor in Europe would be worth, well, some kind of prize at least.
Or we apply the Janeway Method of reconfiguring the main deflector dish to generate a pulsed tetrion beam to somewhow make everything better. Tetrions always work.
Actually, I found an equally serious security hole that all encryption schemes are succeptible to: The known plaintext attack. If I already know the plaintext I can write a program that produces it, no matter how strongly its encrypted form is. I can even produce the known plaintext without any ciphertext at all!
Judge: "You lied to the court in order to harm the innocent defendants. I hereby find you guilty of perjury." RIAA lawyer: "It was an honest mistake."
Everyone in the court room says things like "Well, if it's like that" or "Mistakes happen". Judge: "Well, in that case I can't really blame you. The defendants are sentenced to pay the RIAA one billion Dollars or go to jail for ten thousand years."
1. Taking source code released under a copyleft license and using it commercially without redistributing the code. This is copyright infringement, nothing more and nothing less.
2. Acquiring a patent using someone else's work. This is plagiarism (which implies a copyright infringement).
3. Using the invalid patent to threaten the original creator. IANAL, of course, but I'd say that's fraud.
Of course, I don't know the exact definition of theft in the American legal system, but I don't think it applies here. Katzer didn't steal Jacobson's source code but rather used it without a license to (probably illegally) acquire a patent which he then tried to use to con Katzer into paying him money. Looks like copyright infringement, plagiarism and fraud to me but not quite like theft.
Just because someone intended to deprive someone else of something doesn't mean it's the same as theft.
Not like the ones they show in my country. If the scareware authros operated like those ads they'd tell people that their software enables them to fly through the air with Madonna playing in the background. Or that some random people are personal computers. Or that some woman called Serena uses the internet. Or that Jerry Seinfeld is actually a shoe salesman.
The key difference is that the scareware authors actually give you a(n invalid) reason to use their software while Microsoft's ads are just random nonsense.
Yup. To me the whole thing sounds more like an infective rootkit, possibly residing on its own partition. Boot into anything not supported and you'll probably see the partition and its contents.
Yeah, but the features sound weird, yet tame - just like the real Vista's features:
"Vista does not waste your PC's "real" memory with device drives."
"Vista emulates many host printers including the 5256, 5219 and the 3812 laser printer. Features such as page orientation, font selection and computer output reduction are supported. You can also spool or redirect your printer output to a disk file or network printer via the Windows Print Manager."
"Vista supports Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) compatible programs such as Microsoft Word and Excel. With Vista's Cut/Copy and Paste functions you can exchange full screens, selected text, or individual fields between host and PC applications."
For one thing, no store like Best Buy is going to sell a device that touts itself as an emulator, therefore no mass-market penetration.
In addition to the points raised by the siblings I want to add that it's unlikely they even ever considered a Best Buy carrying the Pandora. The Pandora caters to the same market as the Gamepark handhelds, which also never (or virtually never) appeared in brick-and-mortar stores. This is not a business that produces a couple million units and tries to outcompete the Nintendo DS; the first batch consists of a great 3000 units and that's all they have for 2008.
Space-shifting audio and video to MoonShell on a DS is at least as substantial as time-shifting TV (Sony v. Universal) or space-shifting audio to a traditional MP3 player (RIAA v. Diamond).
I can space-shift audio and video to the Pandora, thus it should be perfectly okay.
Where can most people legally get ROMs, so that the major video game publishers can't convince a judge that the non-infringing uses of Pandora are insubstantial?
Who cares? Commercial games already have been announced for the Pandora.
You say you'd rather have a DS game [commixus.com] than any DS game. I don't follow this.
The game you linked to only runs with a homebrew cartridge, for which it's going to be hard to find substantial non-infringing uses.
This is an early draft for what will be released as RFC 2440723893.
THE WINTER OLYMPICS TRANSMISSION PROTOCOL
Al data transmitted during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games should be encoded as follows. Each transmission is started with the ASCII-encoded string "Screw you, IOC ". The payload is sent as a binary string with "winter " representing 0 and "2010 " representing 1. Finally the transmission ends with the string "with glowing hearts".
TODO
- Add more geeric words owned by the IOC (maybe support full hex encoding?)
- Release as RFC 28227345829
At least the German store gave me PayPal, which I used to pay (mostly because I wanted to make sure my order goes through completely before all 3000 units are gone).

See, they were cool until they had a leak while millions of people watched. Man, that must've been embarrassing.

You're right, although in this specific case it does. I should have pointed tht out, though.
I thought nowadays the latter applied to all parts of society and every daily activity.
We have three different things here:
1. Taking source code released under a copyleft license and using it commercially without redistributing the code. This is copyright infringement, nothing more and nothing less.
2. Acquiring a patent using someone else's work. This is plagiarism (which implies a copyright infringement).

See? That's why I don't trust electron computers.
Now, that's a loaded statement. Did you run it past the state's Electron Board first?
Besides, a truly patriotic candidate would have asked the people to support the army by buying molecular war bonds.
And the body wasn't found yet because they haven't had the time to properly fake up a Fossett. The man never existed.

The answer to this one is: "Where?"
Remember, web apps are used internationally and not everyone knows what color the firetrucks in your country are.
Actually, the incendiary Apple batteries are manufactured by Sony as well.

And now imagine a botnet launching that kind of attack. Hardly localized.
