Where I live in Britain, Sam Knows says I get to chose from the following:
Wireless - (not Wifi or HSDPA, it is a bit faster than that) - Now Broadband Cable - Virgin Media ADSL - BT, AOL, O2/Be Cable & Wireless, NewNet, Orange, Sky/EasyNet, TalkTalk and Tiscali (two sets of pipes) HSDPA - O2, Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile, Three
Carphone Warehouse owns AOL, TalkTalk and Tiscali, so they have a total of four sets of pipes to my exchange
In addition, there are various virtual operators who use the pipes owned by the above companies.
Actually, I think the only thing holding them back at the moment is the time it takes to actually put the infrastructure in place. For example they are building two new power stations every week, which is a lot by any measure, but it will still take them a long time to get all the power stations they need for their population.
If it is the european cycle that is being quoted, then it will be British gallons, not American ones. They are bigger, so you get more miles out of them.
Maybe some international body could charge a property tax on birds up there and use it to fund regular garbage collections, a bit like local councils down on earth.
If you are in England, copyright cases can never go through the small claims procedure, but as he is talking about the DMCA rather than the EUCD, he probably doesn't live in England.
They don't sue for release of the source code, as they can't force that. They sue for monetary damages for copyright infringement then offer to drop the case in return for release of source code. In every case I'm aware of, the defendant has agreed to release the source code.
The GPL is a licence which gives you permission to copy provided you meet certain conditions. If you don't agree to those conditions, then basic copyright law applies - you can't copy at all except where it is covered by fair use, so if you don't comply, it becomes a software piracy case. This is strengthened by the fact that if you copy without complying with the GPL, then according to the GPL you lose the rights to copy under its terms, so it continues to be software piracy even if you release the source code later, so as part of the settlement, the Busybox developer will agree to waive the loss of rights clause in respect of previous violations.
MySQL makes its money from selling non-OSS versions of the software. As Oracle owns the copyright, the fork projects don't have that revenue stream available to them.
Declaring the GPL invalid doesn't help Cisco use Busybox without the copyright owner's permission. The Busybox cases are not GPL cases, they are straightforward software piracy cases just the same as the guy who sells dodgy copies of Microsoft Office at car boot sales.
If you take a book as an analogy, copyright law has nothing to say about the act of reading it. If you have a contract that says you have to pay money every time you pick the book up and read it, then failure to pay those fees is a breach of contract, but not a copyright violation.
Advertisers don't want people to click on the link and then immediately press the back button without even looking at the site. They pay Google lots of money for advertising, because they want to make even more money in additional sales.
No, it is because small ISPs are exempt from the rules, so the answer is to create lots of small ISPs that are below the subscriber limit then people can do what they want.
The European Union's Council of Ministers is elected by member states, and I'm not at all convinced that they do a better job than the directly elected EU Parliament. Look at software patents for an example.
Will they be sued when Windows Phone 7 comes out? I don't think so, but predict their market share will fall to approximately zero and most of their remaining customers will jump ship to Android.
And if you have a UK or Irish keyboard, then Alt-Gr+4 will do the trick. Alt-Gr+e will get you an é which amazingly slashcode is able to display for you.

A lot of government computers still run NT4, so I think they have an answer to that question.
How about Quark Xpress losing out to Adobe? That happened in the the last 10 years.

Something along the lines of looking in %windir% rather than c:\windows. Not really that difficult.

But was he dreaming at the end? That's what I want to know. I think he was, but some people don't agree with me.

An amount of money is not good enough, because the attacker just needs to see what amount you want to transfer and steal that amount for himself.
You could do a study of files hosted on Rapidshare and conclude that Internet Explorer is primarily used for piracy.
No, because different torrent sites have a different content mix. There are some sites, such as Blizzard's which are 100% legal.
Yes, but if your ratio is above about 0.0001, you are above the fair use limit.
Advertisers don't want people to click on the link and then immediately press the back button without even looking at the site. They pay Google lots of money for advertising, because they want to make even more money in additional sales.
In Britain, Orange and T-Mobile use a different GSM band from O2 and Vodafone, but all the phones on the market support both bands.

Surely they are more likely to shoot it upwards than downwards?

It was useable a long time before Euros started appearing in our pockets, but that is because things were planned in advance.
