Netflix is actually doing it pretty well. Granted, I hate that it is a WMP11 plugin, so I can't watch in Linux, but most plans now have unlimited online viewing, and if you have decent bandwidth, the video quality is at least as good as DVD. Overall, the only thing I'm really terribly disapointed in is the selection, but that's getting better all the time.

yeah, I'm running an Athlon 64 3000 on a socket 754 chipset, and I'm pretty sure it replaced a thunderbird on Socket A.
Due to tidal forces, the rotation of the moon is matched almost exactly with it's orbital period. Thus, as it rotates on its axis, it moves just far enough in its orbit so that the same face of the moon is always facing the earth.
There is doubtless still a very large amount of 9x legacy code in the vista codebase for backwards compatibility reasons. If they were to open source the 9x series they would probably be giving away much more than they want to.
most of what you say is correct here, but also don't forget that the real reason that apple survived the 90's is because MS infused it with a large sum of cash via non-voting stock. Microsoft knew that if Apple went bankrupt they would be in big trouble.
actually, communism is when the government owns the means of production. Communism is but one form of socialism. the parent post was indeed using the term correctly.
The problem with this question comes in the circumstance that you have never beaten your wife. You would answer no, but then, due to the phrasing of the question, people will infer that in the past you did beat your wife and now have ceased to do so. It leaves people with an incorrect negative impression of you that is not justified. In this case, no is not the correct answer, but neither is yes.
But you see, every cell in your body is replaced every seven years, so you aren't that exact set of cells. I find it far more feasible to say that what I am is a specific configuration of cells with specific quantum signatures. Therefore if the copy that is created on the far end of the transport has an identical quantum signature to the original you could say that the copy has an identity with the original.
But copyright is no longer only temporary. There is now an established precedent in the supreme court that says that it is legal to extend the term on an existing copyright. So now, congress can feel free to extend the term of copyright every 15 years and what was a limited monopoly now becomes effectively limitless.
Copyright now is effectively perpetual because congress can retroactively extend copyrights every time they come up for expiration.
While I agree that Flash is becoming ever more important in the web sphere(unfortunately), It is absolutely not true that Dreamweaver is neccessary. I learned how to build websites in notepad coding html by hand. At the end of the year I was introduced to Dreamweaver, and I found it artificially constraining and terribly inefficient. Even today Dreamweaver writes crap code. I work as a web developer at the local newspaper, and I categorically refuse to use Dreamweaver for anything. So it is absolutely negotiable whether or not to teach Dreamweaver. My personal choice would be not to teach wysiwyg HTML editors at all.
'It's also impossible for the true damages to be calculated, according to the brief, because it's unknown how many other users accessed the files in the KaZaA share in question and committed further acts of copyright infringement.'
Maybe I'm way off base here, but why aren't any further acts of copyright infringement the sole responsibility of those who commit that infringement?
Otherwise, it would seem to me that an affirmative defense would be that the RIAA has already recovered damages for your infringement because they already prosecuted your source.
Why should the RIAA recieve compensation from me for infringement that may or may not have been perpetrated by someone who is not me?
I wouldn't argue with Patents and Copyrights anymore, I'd deal with the Constitutionality of the existing laws.
Lawrence Lessig tried that already. He argued that the Sonny Bono Copyright Extension Act was unconstitutional on the basis that extending the copyright made it effectively unlimited.
The court decision was that since copyright was extended before the Sonny Bono Copyright law, it was not against the constitution to do so again.

while what you say is true, the people I was specifically referring to were the ones who currently use another search engine because it's the default on what they use. when they switch to FF, then they will continue to use the default, which is now google.
You are correct that anyone who wants to can easily change their default and that Google gains no converts except among the lazy.
Your suggestion defeats the entire point of google paying for default placement. The purpose of paying to be default search is to get people who ordinarily would use another search engine to use Google instead. If you really want to use Yahoo! instead of Google, then you will change the search bar, but most people will leave it set to Google, thus Google gets x more people looking at their ads.
If you take away that automatic default, you are taking away the product that Google is paying for.
interesting. I wonder how it differentiates. would one of those rubber severed fingers work? I'm sure someone somewhere could figure out how to make one. The one that does will probably make a fortune.

according to the article, they are using KHTML/webkit as their rendering module, so they don't plan to do a complete rewrite.
By analogy to google earth and restricted areas on earth, I would assume the intergalactic aliens would sue Google.

You mean they didn't want to pay someone to write two sets of troubleshooting scripts.

Other than that you make good points.

They can always file for a change of venue, but those tend to be hard to get approved.
