I've got no problem with swearing, but use your brain, dumbass! It's pukes like you that we would prefer didn't have computers to begin with. Your whiney assed posting isn't going to get you anywhere. Shut the fuck up.
Maybe it's because there were significant download delays. For people who weren't going to pay anyway $0 $0 + hassle. And Radiohead should be happy; they didn't have to pay for the download bandwidth of freeloaders.
Honestly, most people would be honored if someone thought that their thesis or their father's painting was worth copying. (Obviously plagiarism is another issue, almost everyone would object to someone else claiming the painting or the paper was their own). If you cherish your father's painting, why would you be offended that someone else liked his painting too? The only possible harm from such things is economic, since you probably could have sold a copy of your painting/paper.
That's why it is the RIAA/Labels taking people to court and not the artists.
For the past 10+ years I keep seeing various articles talking about evolution design and they are all about antennas and simple analogue circuit designs. Antennas are certainly susceptible to evolutionary design, but if we'll be driving the industry forward we'll need to throw lots of R&D to develop evolutionary design algos that can design something more complex. My point is, it's hugely promising, but it's still not here in a big way.
The genetic algorithm is used for optimizing a lot of complicated designs. I used one to optimize a hydraulic valve when I was working on my M.Sc. and it was a very well established technique then. Evolutionary computing was invented in the ENIAC era; it just seems that every once in a while someone puts out a press release and the media thinks it's new. If you think you can't do anything useful with evolutionary design, you're about 25 years behind (as is the media sometimes).
I don't think the GP meant that there were 8 M downloads. He said "number of people updating". I'd assume this means 8 M unique IP addresses. And if you were just playing around you probably didn't hit the apt update servers. In this case you'd count as zero Linux users. You'd count as one user if you've used the apt repos, which probably means you use Linux enough to qualify as a user.
3. Put the song on your Linux computer (you can usually get in.ogg format so not hard)
Somehow, I think that if someone is going to download an illegitimate music file, they probably don't feel bad about installing the mp3 codecs, patent encumbrance or no.
Another reason to get decent guitar cables is the huge gain between the guitar and the speaker (especially if the preamp tubes are heavily overdriven). Small effects become amplified.
NO, it's *not* the Constitution that binds the U.S. government in that case, it's international Conventions!! By your logic every country's international activities are simply regulated by their own constitutions. That is not the case. Anyway you can repeat yourself all you want, reality won't change.
You're both right (or both wrong). Constitutions and international agreements BOTH bind governments. Although there doesn't seem to be anyone out there willing or able to enforce either when it comes to the U.S.
You'll notice it says "wrongfully imported without the approval of the Publisher," not "illegally imported". They may think it's "wrong", but most others (most importantly legislators) don't. I don't need the approval of the Publisher to resell my legally bought books anywhere in the world.
Pretty Hate Machine came out in 1989. Somewhere in the past 18 years I'd imagine it recouped it's production costs. Could you imagine software made in 1989 being sold at original retail today?
Could you imagine a sports star's rookie card/fine wine/painting made in 1989 being sold at original retail today?
If you don't mind going through the Sun, that 1/2 G will get you Earth to Jupiter, in the worst geometry possible, in seven days and one hour and thirty minutes.
I'm not a rocket scientist, but isn't that kind of a deal-breaker?

I would say that the beacon and authentication process would communicate that permission is granted:

My Adapter Can I have permission to join your network?
Access Point Sure! Here's an IP!

I think there's a torrent on the Pirate Bay.

OK, I thought the serial cable was the problem.

Boring: See Civil Engineers
Carl: Yeah, but what about Johnny Mathis versus diet pepsi?
Moe: Oh, I cannot listen to this again!

Power [W]=(0.1229 W/in^2)*(Screen Size [in])^2+6.89 W
So for these TVs, it seems that 6.89 W is the minimum overhead.

Not if you go at night.
