Of course my school's attitude is "We don't care if EVERY student disagrees, if you don't like it, go to another school (yes, it is a public school)".
And this is in response to people complaining about being punished by the school for things that they've done outside of school. Outside as in "It's 5pm, and I'm 10km away. Hey, is that the principal from school???". And things as in "not leather shoes"
Are you implying that because I still have a bunch of cars, and there are a lot of possible car buyers that now don't need a car, that I haven't lost anything?
Well I never buy any music from any artist which I haven't downloaded music from. Most of the things I have downloaded, I've bought a CD of as well. And the others I just don't think are worth the money....and I wouldn't have even known about them at all if not for P2P.
Stealing a CD - hurts the retailer, who has to replace the CD, giving a profit to the RIAA, with a gain to me. Rest of society is not affected
Downloading it and sharing it on P2P (assuming I wouldn't buy it) - No loss to anyone, gain for me, and a small gain for the rest of society
Personally I would prefer that the law would protect society, and not fine people into bankruptcy because they might have caused a loss to a minority, and a definite gain to the majority.
Most of the time i'm not talking about games, which is why they contradict, because I wasn't talking about talking about hacking/coding in relation to games.
Is it just KaZaa Media Desktop that is affected by this, or is it done on the server end, thereby logging downloads by ALL clients, such as giFT-Fastrack?

Why can't a propretary developer love to code? Isn't it possible that they've been coding for years and haven't been releasing their code?

No...you just haven't gained anything.
If they prevent me from using the music which I legitimately own, I'll just pirate it.
I'm happy to buy music, as long as I can rip it through cdparanoia and play it on my iPod. If not, what's the point?
Huh? Ohh.....you don't mean Glade, you mean Glade...I get ya ;)

What about Clear Skies Act?
Everyone has different goals. What Redhat wants might be different to what I want.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I need sleep
When I think of "hacking" as in games, I think of those annoying guys with speedhacks. Most of the time it just means coding stuff to me.
hacking games was in some ways more fun for me than actually playing them
Try playing CS and see if you feel the same way.
Personally I'd prefer a simpler ports-like system, or one based entirely on another server (Big DB with everything, so it doesn't hit the disk)
The moment that information is used for any purpose it is violating my privacy.
So Australia is the new Siberia that everyone gets sent to? It's not that bad ;)
Nah, over here ya get a detention if you carry a bag or anything....however no-one actually keeps drugs in a locker.
I know someone that got caught with *KILOGRAMS* of weed though....people are so stupid.
Why should they when your happy with 70% preformance and major instabilities?
If I'm happy with it, why should I *CARE* if it's native or not?
If a police car drives over me while there is no-one in it, and with the accelerator stuck down have I been run over?
Police regularly send the drug dogs looking at school lockers.
You what????????
I'm in Australia, there's as much weed around here as anywhere else, but if the cops tried that, they probably would get their asses handed to them.
Students don't own their lockers, and part of having them is a consent to search.
Remember having a locker is mandatory. If I could carry all my stuff in a backpack, I would. However I am not allowed.
I'm not religious, and rap music scares me too! ;)
You will however be the target of a DDoS.
The thing that worries me most is that people think that out language makes us moral or ammoral.
ACID.
Emphasis on "C" for consistency.

To give an idea of distance.
