so you wouldn't mind if a bunch of people went around to your friends and family saying they saw you having sex with an HIV positive male prostitute?
also there are no laws allowing prior restraint, ie. noboy can stop you from saying something, but they can sue you or prosecute you after the fact if what you said causes unfair harm
VLC is based in and distributed from contries which do not respect software patents, this is one reason the EU software patent issue is a major problem
so a successful business should not work to eliminate wasteful allocations of resources, somehow i don't think the management at IBM just decided on a whim to make 13k layoffs.
somehow i think the CEO's getting paid millions for their expertise in management and the petroleum industy know more about maximizing profits in an oil company than you do.
the university system is fucked and it's only getting more fucked, tuition is going through the roof for education that won't get you a good job, i predict massive growth in community colleges and technical schools
very big difference especially for the person losing their job, if you are layed off you are at the very least eligable for unemployment and possibly severance and other benifits, because you lost your job due to the company not needing you any more, while getting fired means you fucked up (or someone thinks you did) that the company does not want you personally, around anymore
fusion is reliable and works very well, it's just that you have to be willing and able to accept all the energy at once in the form of heat and radiation
you can't put games, movies, music, and photos onto CD's and DVD's? oh wait, Sony just want to crash and burn again just like every other format they tried to force down everyone's throats. (not crash and burn with the PSP, but with everything but the PSP reading UMD's)
MWAHAHA the ultimate plan, convert India to OpenOffice.org and firefox then the only available tech support will be fro free software and microsoft will be DOOMED
if it can be traded for something else it is worth that something else, gold is worth whatever someone is willing to give you for it, if you are hungry enough food is worth more than gold well technically, whenever you are hungry and buy food, food was worth more to you than the amount of gold (currency of any form) you paid for it. but the reason the gold is worht that much to you is because you can trade it for something useful. worth comes from two sources, being useful or being tradeable for something useful.
value comes from what something is worth (to someone), not what it costs to make. i could spend 10 million man hours carving stone cubes but they would be worth no more than stone cubes a machine can spit out in a few hours.

That is as close to a random act of God as you can get.
not really, you can tell when your boss/co-irkers are fucktards, you know when the department is fucked
so clinton caused you to get an education which was insufficient to obtain long term gainful employment?.... The Bastard

they sold their PC department and not their server department, so of course they still have servers
the trashing of UMD's is not over the game format, sony is trying to push UMD as a format to buy music and movies in.
the protection on the NES was easily bypassed and only worked because they used patents to keep others from getting/making the chips

slumlords are generally less interested in following the law than they are in not getting caught by anyone unwilling to take a bribe
actually the source of value in software is it's utility to the user and the productivity gained by using that software.
