Actually it's quite probable we'll lose the e and print books will be known as "traditional books", "paper books" or "print books" in common language. The e is used to differentiate the minority from the norm, once it is the norm it is likely it'll be lost.
Placing on your headphones works wonders, I've done it myself a few times:) Just plug them in but with the sound turned DOWN. A problem is you don't notice when they fall out.
Actually I find it quite difficult to concentrate on it (unless they're talking to me). Same with telephone conversations and music. But I guess I'm lucky that way.
Read it? Pfft, it's probably in PDF format/too long/my dog ate it/other.
And my comment was meant as a light-hearted one. Not a serious suggestion that the hijackers should have used GPS. I also added in a story I heard that I don't really care if it's true. It's an amusing story.
If I had any intention of actually believing the story I'd do the research to find out if it is true.
You've obviously never played soccer;) I know quite a few athletic people (they're relatives) and out of all the ones that suffer injuries, most of them play soccer.
Perhaps if the terrorists on 9/11 had used GPS they would have been able to find the whitehouse (for those that don't know the story I've heard (and it is a story;)) is that they were looking for the whitehouse, but from above it looked like a lot of the buildings around it so they gave up and went for the pentagon (which was like a pentagon-shaped bullseye)).
I like how you see a big difference between STTOS and DS9 when in actuality they're the same. Superficially STTOS was about exploring planets, but it wasn't really. It was about exploring humanity and what it means to be human. It explored our past and how we once were. Deep Space Nine did the exact same thing. It's possible to argue it explored a larger variety of important issues.
This is fine. After all most bit-torrents are illegal and we all know that Dos attacks on people who break the law is fine.
Oh wait, it's only good when you do it to people who hurt you. Not to people who possibly hurt companies. My mistake. For a second I forgot it's our right to break copyright laws.
I have. I've learnt structured (functional? traditional? It seems to change from teacher to teacher) programming as well as object oriented.

and that is if the episodes were made available online (with any price modal they want) then many people here would stop pirating their content. They're even willing to use THEIR OWN BANDWIDTH to help make this possible (bit-torrent). Many non-geek piraters would love this as the fear of a virus becomes nill.
I'm in the same boat with Stargate: Atlantis. I eventually did stop, but not before watching 10 episodes. My conclusion after watching these 10 eps was checking what the prices for Stargate: SG-1 boxset was and saying "I'll be buying Stargate Atlantis season 1 when it comes out."
This is an example of an increase in revenue for the business. And for us foreigners I'm going to go out on a limb and say it aint too uncommon. It may not be most of us foreigners illegally downloading the movies then going and buying the boxsets, but I'd say there's a significant portion.
Of course, they don't care about that. RIAA started the suing p2p users bandwagon and everyone else is going along for the ride.
If it's just the kernel then why hasn't any action been brought? simply because the kernel team have no money to syphon off, companies like SCO would rather sue their competitors to hamper their business.
Also, from my understanding, the second a patent is used in court that patent may be revoked. In all probability Linux violates 150 issued patents. But we all know how ridiculous patents are so it's probably 150 -bad- patents that shouldn't have been issued in the first place.
Comapnies holding the patents can't go after the kernel team because the community would chip in to help, as I doubt the kernel team could withstand a challenge on their own. With Linux being so important to Open Source, I can see many companies helping out, and possibly using their own patents to counter-sue.
You must be heaving really bad luck with having programs revoked from you. It appears you have had all of your spell checkers revoked as well. Any idea when you'll be getting those back?

I find your characterisation of Australia as a wasteland offensive. Now excuse me I have to go back to creating my child porno films.

That's all a very good point :) But all moot as I'm not an American ;)

Now if only the companies could see this *sigh*
Lucky you do because it was aired a week ago ;)
Were those Australian dollars? Because otherwise I think your calculation was a bit off.

You haven't seen the latest copyright laws have you?
You have WAY too much time on your hands.

Have you heard her sing? At least she would have had SOMETHING going for her.
