It makes no sense. How can the RIAA possibly expect search engines to pay them for something that they have no valid claim on. I can say that Google owes me a gazillion dollars, but that doesn't make it so.
The user priviledge model is designed for many-user computers for work or kiosk purposes.
For the typical home desktop, it doesn't make any sense at all. The danger is not malicious users, but malicious programs (spyware or viruses). Running as a limited user will prevent these programs from damaging the root system but it IS an annoyance. I do want to have control over MY computer. Just because I'm root shouldn't mean that anything I run should get root priviledges. I should be able to set permissions on programs.
What does this mean for somebody who invents something that one doesn't want to patent (, say, if that person wants to give the invention to the world)? Does this mean that anybody can come in and file a patent for it and inventor be damned? In particular, open source software could produce many patentable ideas.
I can't see a solid distinction between prior art and prior invention.
and I'm a vegan.
Well, it would have to pass a few criteria, but in principle, eventually this can be called cruelty-free.
Animals will probably have to die to start the process off, but if it is truly efficient and self-sustaining, this is probably no worse than the quantity of animals that die from, say, pesticides used to grow plants.
That said, they'd better not need to continually inject fresh slaughter to sustain the system and not use various questionable flavorings.

Since when did journalists become special class citizens?
To me, freedom of speech means the freedom to NOT speak.

"Yo barkeep, lemme have a refill!"
"Sorry bud, the coaster says you've had enough."

freezing water causes a lot of impurities to come out, so these are not contrary goals. Keeping food fresh is pretty important, though.
What if he IS the highly paid consultant?
It sounds like we are losing freedoms under this change.
Maybe we killed them.
If it don't run Freecell, I don't want it.
but rather, the ability to avoid the loss in the first place.
I think this topic is an excuse for the community to list their alternative programs to winzip.
mod article down, overrated
Perhaps these can be reduced somewhat to a smaller set. One way to do this is to calculate the correlation dimension from plenty of data points.
It probably hasn't to do with the Y chromosome, but the presence of 1 X versus 2 X chromosomes.
The traits on the X chromosomes will be somewhat averaged out by the presence of two.

and I still don't know what the hell it's talking about. What is Mambo? What is Miro?

Oh I thought the bill of rights got repealed. Maybe I was mistaken.
Is this book legal?
GPL gives you rights. EULA takes rights away.
and that differs from a distro, how?

Now they can claim that Linux contains Unix code.
The paper says that you still need to use classical communication to communicate the quantum information and receive the "free" future communications.
