People who don't want to infringe copyrights are entirely capable of not infringing copyrights. They don't need a system that prevents them doing it.
yeah, but you do need a system that keeps those who willingly abuse copyrights from using this for illegal trading. this would be a great medium for up and coming artists to promo their stuff, or for you to release your own stuff.
Many people died before car companies finally decided to add safty equipment (like brakes).
I think brakes are more than a safety feadure...i mean id like to slow down to turn on that road, but i could get there faster if i could go faster and slow down quicker, no?
And in other news, a new vulnerability in IE has been found, allowing a remote user to 0wnz0r your computer by getting you to click on a link, and like dumbasses, you ie users will. Also, Linux is ready for the desktop because, well, because, um, BECAUSE I SAID SO, NOW USE LINUX!
no, i dun like to troll, but physics states you cant go at the speed of light but can go faster or slower and light can be slowed down (even stopped, but sorry, dun have a link to the story)
i can go faster than the speed of light, just slow light down enough and you can go faster. it is impossible to travel exactly AT the speed of light, but you can go FASTER or VERY CLOSE to it, assuming you had the technology to do so
"Gaim is only in version 0.81"
IE is only in version 6.0, firefox is in 0.9.3, which has less holes and is actually fixed within a few days?
just goes to show release numbers dont mean much in terms of readyness
you will continue to accelerate towards your host star because you cant escape directly out with the amount of force the sail can use. you can however rotate the sale to a certain point and orbit the sun a couple times and either go out from or closer too the sun, effectively "slowing down" to get to what you want
"Well, as soon as dualdisc burners are available, I have a feeling that I will be manufacturing my own DVD/CD combinations, with no help from the DRM^H^H^HRecording Industry."
i think that should be "Recording^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HDRM Industry"

UP isnt the only one, in fact, most railroads, class I and II seem to use them. UP around here even has those massive rail/tie carrying trucks, those run on rail and road too.
like someone posted earlier, you can use notepad to open a file over and over, of a program with a buffer overrun sploit, and become god of their system
I agree totally, I mean it's the broadcaster's Intellectual Property and they have the right to decide what you can do with it. You don't have any right to use it in a different way than was intended by the distributor.;)
yeah, your all good and have a great point, but, when someone breaks into a supposedly locked substation and disables it, can i sue the power company when the power surges and blows my electronics? Yes. Your points depend on the company messing up and that mess up directly having a negative result. In Microsoft's case, they messed up severely, but it didnt creat a negative effect right away, someone else took advantage of their neglagence. If a squirrel chews through a power line and fucks up your computer game, big shit, but if some hacker takes advantage of microsoft's neglagence and steals hundreds of records of customers of my business, then im screwed because microsoft didnt fix it in a timely manner. Thats why i use linux, because it is secure, even without updating it is fairly secure. This, is diligence.
All in all, you people affected by microsoft's whims (of course, a minority on/.) should switch to Linux, FreeBSD, or another OS you like, even get a Mac, if you want to get used to a much more superior GUI.
