If you'd bother to read my original post, my hippies remark was targeted at those who used the site. You then said "What does hippies have to do this" so I said "I meant criminals" which leads us to here.
Of course. When Apple steals something, they are patted on the head and thanked. When Microsoft does it, "AHHHH! THE STEALING BASTARDS! KILL'EM! BURN'EM AT THE STAKE! AHHHH!".
Where does Douglas Engelbart fit into the picture? I think he's a mostly forgotten revolutionary. I like how one article put it: "As early as 1992, while Jobs and Wozniak were still drinking Ovaltine and watching Saturday morning cartoons in their jammies, Engelbart was creating several items of internet to the personal computing crowd that would follow." ~ Mike Tuck, sitepoint.com
Yes, violent video games sell. But you wanna know what? Halo 1 and 2 sucked. GTA series is declining in quality (I know many will disagree with that). Whereas Harvest Moon is actually fun. Mario Kart is fun. Nintendo games are actually fun. You can shrug them off as "Oh, games for little kids with talking bears" but they're fun.
I disagree. Out of all three consoles, GameCube has the best line of games. Most Xbox and PS2 games are simple eye candy games with no story, gameplay, or replay value.
If you have 1000 files on a unix system, and they are all 90% similar, the system should be able to figure out how to store 90% of those blocks in the same space. And manage them so that none are deleted until all references to them are deleted.
See Venti.
It's my right to give or not give. It's my work. You don't suddenly get the right to copy it freely.
Lets see... Because they bought the work from him long, long before he died?
Get a clue.

Is the Futurama black bar generator close to becoming a reality?
What? The sticker didn't mention God, religion, or creationism. It didn't violate rule 2 or 3 in any way, shape, or form.
I don't make any sense? No, you're reading wrong. I didn't say the site was doing anything illegal. I said the users were.

Well lets see.. Distributing copyrighted material without permission, for starters.
Oh sorry, I meant to say "criminals".
So now you're paying to keep an illegal site online? Just buy the damn songs and movies! Damn hippies.
Oops. That's suppose to be 1972, not 1992. Sorry!

I can honestly say I don't want to upgrade.

There are those super spammers which can only be killed with a kryptonite stake through the heart.
What really is needed to make a pinball machine a pinball machine? Some would argue it was when flippers would added. Others simply do not care.

I didn't give you the right to copy it.
You're taking it from the recording studio or whoever has the rights to his recordings.
Stop being so dumb. Be a man; take responsibility for your crimes.
Europe also thinks pinball is a game of chance instead of a game of skill. Screw Europe.
I thought two green? A double zero and a zero?
Couldn't the article have done just as well without the last sentence?
This is Slashdot! Of course not.
But that is stealing: To take without right or permission. Stop trying to defend your crimes.
I don't see why there should be a debate. It's my property. It's my song, or movie, or software. Nothing gives you the right to steal it.
One site or 1 million sites: They'd have to reanalyze the entire link graph anyway.
The anonymous poster pretty much summed it up: It's not innovation. It has been done before. As for me not appreciating their code; Why should I?
By the way, I use Gmail.
