That is the same reason I got interested in ham radio. In my opinion, you have a very valid point. Looking at the world today we might have to use our skills very soon to get information outside of our village/town.
ok, maybe i should explain that a bit more. "against the law" may not be right. It's more that an EULA is not valid in most EU countries (at least in germany) because you make the deal and accept the rights given you by law when you purchase the product. At this time you don't have access to the EULA. If the EULA says "you may not give it to your best friend as a present" you still can give it away, because you gained this right during the purchase of the product.
any EULA violates German (and most other EU contries) law. therefore it is nothing more than an unnecessary step during installation of proprietary software.
i don't see a market here but there is a regular esports broadcast in germany for some time now. Looks like there are at least a few people out there interested in observing gamers and how they play the game.
What you said is right. It's like GPS and Galileo. USA said "thats our system, we decide who can use it". Since EU (and others) depend on this system, they won't take the risk to get turned off. So they build ther own (better) Global Positioning System called Galileo which will be usable around 2008.
If you do not want wires at all, you extend your stereo rack with a Netgear MP101 or Netgear MP115.
You can use wireless speakers like these or, what is more geek like (and more expensive) is a new speaker system called pursonic. Check the pursonic homepage. Now your speakers are your wall and your floor...
So someone writes a worm/virus that uses some of the 45624837906 recently found IE exploits that can and will delete as many user files as possible.
Who will be blamed?
Well, users blame Microsoft, Microsoft blames the Linux community because we hate Microsoft and its products more than anything else. The common mainstream will associate Linux with Open Source. And because Linux users are evil (they wrote a worm/virus that has deleted their data) OSS is evil too....
I don't think we need bad press.
But i would enjoy looking in their faces right after they recognized all their data has been deleted.
> Could this be in that few minutes when the water level dropped before the tsunami hit?
No, it has to be after the wave hit the coast. Compare it to the image from January 1. You can count 3 roads following parallel to the main road. On the image with the receding water you are only two roads left and all the buildings between the coast and that road are gone.
You can also see water coming from the streets and flowing back to sea.
You can record HDTV Movies with LinVDR. All you have to do is to add a HDTV Channel to your channel list and set up a timer for it. And, you have to disable processing your output video signal. Your DVB Card can not handle the resolution and will crash. (Reboot of the card needed). If you save the HDTV data stream to your disk without forwarding it to your v/output you can watch the show.
If you do not want to waste disk space you can stream the data to your Local Network (or loopback device) and watch it with mplayer.
Sure, you can run all the free software in the world on your OpenBIOS computer. You will not be able to watch media, listen to media, surf the net, etc, because everything will require a "trusted" computer.
What really is important, is, that we always can choose an alternative. If they really stop us from using the net as long as we don't buy a MS OS, we turn over to Freenet Project.
If Microsoft uses its power (read money) and let the industry produce "protected" media there will be workarounds to view your favorite movie or listen to your CD's without using Windows in a very short time.
It wouldn't be the first time something like that happens.

looks like global warming is not enough, now we melt our remaining ice actively.
here and here.

I hope it's a bit clearer now.
with linux, everything is possible

where does it hit the surface of our planet? And anybody know why the boosters failed?
Do kids these days even know multiplication tables without reaching for their cell phone's calculator app?
