    However, if at that very moment in the middle of the night that person wanted to use their car they then couldn't. However the people who 'own' the movie can still watch it anytime they want, regardless of the fact that you have a copy.


    What copyright infringement 'deprives' the holder of is extremely difficult to ascertain. However with theft is is extremely easy to see what has been taked from the owner. That is the difference.

    But it was the super awesome power of Australia that inspired them to do their research.

    Don't the editors even read anything before they post a story these days.... Wait a sec, this is Slashdot.

    I'm sure we all are. Since this is Slashdot however I find no need to back up my wild claims with solid facts.

    I think Microsoft should have their patents revoked for their abuse of the patent system.

    But how much do these archival prints cost?

    I think the average user would much prefer backing up their data onto new media every few years than spending $$$ to make fabulous 100 year archival prints of each of their digital photos.

    I normally drink Carlton Draught (I can't afford all those fancy beers) but I was trying to appeal to the masses with the VB and XXXX.

    That's not a bad idea. A linux distro based around beer would succesfully combine two of my favorite things!

    Although if it was created by and Aussie it would more likely be called "VB Linux" or "XXXX Linux" as most Aussies actually don't drink Fosters (well none that I know).

  22. Re:re violation of n US patents on Patent Concerns Unlikely To Nix Munich Linux Plan · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think that the patent office should get some intellegent people in there and stop issuing these ridiculous patents we keep on seeing.

    Why would these guys in Munich be concerned with violating US software patents? Just as long as they don't become European software patents (although that doesn't look like happening).
