Don't try to draw terrorism into it, there are just as valid counterarguments of equal feasability about emergency services crumbling because the GPS has just been switched off.
You're forgetting, that's before the adjustment for piracy. $120,000 per track, times lots of numbers, especially downloads from russia, means that the RIAA's turnover if russia complied would be $5 gazerbaijuhullion per year.
For anyone without the ability to meaningfully edit a program, GPL is just like public domain.
Whilst I agree in principle, and you are factually correct, it's statements like that that cause mindset problems in the first place, like a small footnote on a page of unethical marketing techniques marked "as long as the customer ticked the right box"
Again, far be it for me to second guess middle management, but if they grow up knowing open source as being "basically free" then they're more likely to order some minions to steal code.
GNU software actually followers the copyrightable method where the author(s) chooses to give up rights to his software.
Sorry, you're wrong. I won't patronise you and explain how you're wrong, but I'd just like to say that it's innacurate simplifications like this that lead to the public mindset of GPL software as being "usable by anyone for any purpose", undermining its credibility in the public eye and leading to poorly-informed software companies infringing without realising and then trying to cover it up when they find out that 80% of the code they wrote is technically GPL.
it's true what they say, the best way to get people to believe something is to repeat it incessantly. The GPL is by no means free code, or code that's given away. There's no monetary return, but there is a strict legal expectation of ideas flowing both ways. If you use it, one way or another, you'll pay. Of course, most of us are paying what we'd gladly share, under identical conditions.
So yes, you want to break into a system built by competent people, and photoshop the same car into 500 video feeds without detection? 'cause, you know, good luck with that.
Making the data public will increase the abuse. Here, things are very sensible and there isn't much abuse of "common sense" laws that rely on the courts and the police to make case by case decisions, unlike the rampant abuse in america. For example, the july 7th bomber suspects are being put on trial soon after capture, we're not shipping them off to a prison camp in the middle of the north sea for 5 years (and counting.)
I don't have a problem with the police being able to identify number plates from cctv, I do have a problem with a random member of public being able to do the same. Here in britain we seem to be in the grip of paedomania, so I'll say what's on everyone's mind: tracking your underage victim.
Dell should supply those gaming machines with just a clean copy of windows XP
Problem with that is that every free trial or peice of wankware makes dell money for every machine it's installed on. You think they'd choose "archos power dvd player free trial" if they weren't profiting from it? this is the same reason why the freedos machines cost *more* than a windows box of the same hardware.
Yes, Dimethylmercury has as much to do with mercury as alumina to aluminium, cyanates to cyanide, hydrogen to water, etc. It annoys me when people can't even get the most basic grasp of chemistry.
Everyone has thier own differing set of morals, something that the laws of a country are designed to find a balance between. Some people join religions that closely match what they feel is right and wrong, and some people, like yourself, are total sociopaths/psychopaths that either end up in jail for premeditated crimes, or the CEO of a a major company.
tssk tssk tssk... you're like the greeks. (Simplistically) a bounce has a single parameter, efficiency. This is the proportion of kinetic energy lost in a bounce. a 50% efficient collision with a 1 gram rubber ball against the ground and a 1 ton steel ball against the ground will result in them going back up to the same height, ignoring air resistance.
a ball of steel will actually bounce higher than a ball of rubber, as long as the surface it hits doesn't move or deform. This doesn't describe your average road ("boing" versuse "crunch") but with a giant slab of steel, the cannonball will bounce higher than the rubber.
Have you ever set up a brand new dell for someone? There's so much shitware installed, free trials of dvd players, etc, etc, that it's faster to format and reinstall straight away than to uninstall it all. Each of those bits of bundled wankware earns dell money, it more than offsets the XP bulk license cost.
What would be good is a way to buy a dell and immediately sell the license on to a reseller.

It's ok for mainland europe, you guys will get dubbing/subtitles. Here in the UK it's just raw americanisms.

Steel is better than rubber, surprisingly.
It's understandable; the reality, while intuitive, seems non-newtonian. Drop a cannonball on a table, it'll end up downstairs.

Perfect, I'm a year younger than you!
The ones I did were the low low low end laptops, you know, sub-400 quid or whatever they sell them for now. Damn they're nasty.
I don't deny that I did it, once. 36DD, you learn to compromise your principles ^_^

The real question is, can they beat NATURE'S HARMONIC SIMULTANEOUS 4-DAY TIME CUBE?
Exactly! Rather than step in and say "you were right, you were wrong" they impartially seperate both participants and the record reflects that.
Schools aren't courts of law and they try not to get sued, it's easier not to assign blame in a fight.
what other phenomena do you know of that can affect path lengths like this?
What the hell kind of train do you ride in that can affect two gravity detectors on opposite sides of the planet?
Unfortunately the user is using gnome with a kde app and the minimal dependancies to make the kde app run, not the other way around.
