My dentist gave me a prescription recently that was printed out from a computer, but it was signed by hand.
For patients on regular medication, one of the admin staff in the doctor's surgery will print out the prescription on the computer, and a doctor will sign it, after presumably checking to see that the patient should still be taking the same medication.
I think power costs are so small you can safely ignore them. I don't know how much electricity costs in the US, but based on UK prices, you would be looking at about $0.003 per hour to power a computer.
In the UK, Vonage costs £9.99 per month for unlimited calls to UK and Ireland. You have to pay £29.99 in Staples for the router that allows you to plug your normal phone into your internet connection.
Onetel charges £10.99 per month for unlimited calls, or you could get it from Tele2 for £7.49 or Tiscali for £7.99. They use carrier preselect, which means you just sign up and use your existing phone as normal.
Vonage does have the advantage that it includes calls to Ireland, but unless you happen to make a lot of calls to Ireland, you would be better off going elsewhere.
I think the main reason that VOIP isn't so popular in the UK is that most long distance phone companies charge much the same rates as the likes of Vonage, so there isn't really any point in having the hassle of using your computer to make calls, or buying the kit to use a normal phone over the internet.

Spam may not be an organism or an infection, but the people who send it are. So I think it is a perfect analogy.
You can get a 2GB SD card that is the size of a postage stamp. That has a much higher data density than even a DVD, and it is much easier to write to. You can get a USB card reader for that that is about 1/2 the size of a pen.
These two things are also much easier to smuggle out the building than a CD.
One way of putting a price on human life is to look at it this way.
If the money that was to be spent on these scanners with questionable benefit in terms of improved safety was instead spent on feeding starving children, or better health care; how many more lives would be saved.
In England, there is no direct relationship between the position of the hands of the clock and the departing trains[1] whether caused by a higher intelligence or otherwise.
Try buying a computer today that has a 3.5" disk drive. They vanished from the scene about 2 years ago. Computers now come with flash card readers.
Yes, you can still get floppy drives to add to your computer, either usb or internal versions, or you could take the one out your existing computer, but very soon, they will go the way of 5.25" and 8" drives.
You are not allowed to sell cocaine to anyone, not even a police officer. (It might be OK if it is on doctor's prescription, it is for heroin, I don't know about cocaine.)
You are however allowed to copy copyrighted works with the copyright holder's permission.
If the copyright holder or their agent requests a copy from you, you are copying with their permission.
No. The IPO cash would effectively go to the shareholders. Microsoft would have to pay extra to buy the company because of the surplus cash held in the bank.
They would be happy to pay this extra money because they know they can get it back immediately by taking it out of Red Hat's bank account once the takeover is completed. Of course, they might decide to leave it there, but that is their choice.
He only owns the trademark in relation to operating system kernels, and possibly complete operating systems.
This does not prevent newspapers from being allowed to write about his kernel, or operating systems that use it, or other issues surrounding it, and to use the name "linux" when doing so.
"You can go to court and say, I am not the one copying, they are! My code was stolen by hackers, and now people are giving it away!"
That is a matter of fact, not a legal argument, and has nothing to do with the GPL.
"The fact is an remains that there is not binding legal precendent established that says that you can nail someone with a combination of GPL + copyright. For all you know, a judge could review the GPL and find that it's an unenforceable restriction, violates some arcane rule, and there the author forfiets his/her copyright."
It won't happen.
If you want to copy, you need a licence. If the GPL isn't a valid licence, you don't have a licence, and you can't copy.
There are plenty of cases around to support the idea that you can't copy without a licence.

We call them estate cars in Britain, and there's still lots of them around. The Ford Mondeo is probably the most popular.

WordPerfect can do it. It has a "make it fit" menu option to do this.
I don't think I've ever had Windows shutdown of its own accord since Windows 2000 SP1.
What you say was certainly true in the Windows 98/ME days, but NT based systems are much more stable.
Mainly because a +interesting or +insightful mod improves your karma, but a +funny mod doesn't.
The moon always shows the same face to the earth so presumably that is what is closest to earth.

No. The only thing you lose if you don't enforce it is Trademarks.
Copyright is granted to you automatically, and you have to assign it to someone if you want to lose it.
They aren't copyrighted. It would be a trademark violation though.
There is a difference.

From what I've seen with other MBNA affinity cards in the UK at least, they will replace it with a normal credit card.
I'm surprised that microsoft.com is higher up the list than hotmail. I would have thought it would be the other way round.
that terrorist organisations may be involved in copyright violations.
I'm sure they are.
I also understand that members of terrorist organisations may be involved in breathing air. Should we ban that too?

Presumably Wine compiled with their own c compiler, not gcc.
