But when I rent that apartment from the landlord who hasn't put locks on the doors at least I know enough to put one on myself..... And if I choose not to put a lock on the door that should be my business.
I almost forgot to mention this.. A good example of an unobtrusive way to do the advertising is how salon.com and a couple of other sites I have visited do it.. in order to view the premium content you either have to have a subscription or view a short ad.. They don't just force pop-ups and pop-unders on you..
But I do care when it is obtrusive and gets in the way i.e. Pop-up ads.. Put what ever ads you want on your page but stop forcing windows to pop-up (or under) on my screen.. it's just rude.. It amazes me that they haven't figured that out yet.
Yes we have lost that will, but nothing jumps starts an American like some cold hard cash.
Please keep in mind that mining companies do some extreme things to get to ore deposits.
It is true that many of today's technologies came out of the space program. However the industry I believe needs to move away from government funds and be taken up by private interests. Now it is time for the next step which is for the commercialization of space flight. There is a ton of money to be made by extraterrestrial mining. The corporate execs just have to look past the initial cash layout to get to it.
I firmly believe that once the process begins, it will be like a snowball effect, comparatively similar to the PC revolution. Someone just needs the balls to take the first step. With technologies that are currently being developed by such people as Burt Rutan and others like him, this can be a reality sooner then later.
Also keep in mind that once the corporate interests really grasp the money to be made that they will develop ways of making it even cheaper to increase their profit margins.
What can the Recording Industry Association of America take from Henry Ford's story? First, you will never win your market by suing your customers. Quite the opposite: you will rally ordinary people to your opponents and alienate a generation of buyers. Exactly what has the industry gained by suing, among others, a 12-year-old girl in New York for downloading songs? A raft of bad publicity, a reputation for being a bully..........
Also from the following:
Second, no legal rule is strong enough to overcome a radical technical innovation. Courts can delay progress but they cannot stop it. Unlike the automobile cartel that tried to stop Henry Ford, the recording industry's copyrights are perfectly valid.
But SCO won't and can't prove that any of it's copyrights have been violated. SCO is just trying to Hijack the work of others.
In this report they claim that the only Licenses they sold were to MS and Sun... and they weren't for Linux.
I would think that they would love to point out to investors that someone had actually taken the bait. This omission only leads me to assume that this earlier press release was false.
Like I sould be surprised.

They've been dumping all their money into "patent reform"
How about parents not letting their children use the internet unsupervised?
Heaven forbid parents actually be forced to keep an eye on their kids.

Time to break out the modem and setup the BBS again
Especially from the following statement:

Now my teeth hurt.

Didn't they claim to have already sold some Linux Licenses not to long ago to a comapny who couldn't be named due to confidentiality provisions? (Fortune 500 Licensee Acquires SCO UNIX License for Concurrent Run-Time Use of Linux)
In this report they claim that the only Licenses they sold were to MS and Sun... and they weren't for Linux.
