so what's the difference between getting some kid's organs and killing an embryo to harvest them? Also, doesn't it sound a little ackward to dispose an all-new human life just to improve the quality of an old one - that possibly won't last much longer?
Really, it reminds me of the old tales of witches - eating children to remain young.
I think #2 will ultimately be futile in that it will not slow their loss of control over media content distribution (and copyright violation) but it will make life unpleasant for many...
Ironically, the illegal downloads will go where the *AA won't be able to control them: Developing countries.
All this work for a less than honorable cause. Just think what could be if all this human effort had been channeled through a charity, say Habitat for Humanity, your local food bank, or teaching someone to read.
Inefficient network use also leads to waste of money - which could be used for charity. And you're forgetting of a fundamental right that all humans must have: Freedom of speech.
1. Begin working online, i've seen sites which offer bounties (or bids actually) for ceratin projects. 2. Eventually more open source bounties begin appearing. Pick them if you can. 3. Constant profit!
Does anyone else see something disturbing in the following description?: He goes out to the DESERT where he meets a religious extremist leader (Kenobi) who fills his head with ridiculous tales, ARMS and TRAINS him and then sets him on a veritable SUICIDE MISSION??? Who can honestly justify this??
How curious. I thought EXACTLY the same thing about the Matrix. What if Neo got brainwashed, and his adventures outside the matrix were nothing but a fantasy? What if the people did _NOT_ turn into Smiths, but they were mere officers of the law, viewed by Neo as some kind of clones due to hypnosis?
Furthermore, Neo was told that the *real* world was nothing but an illusion.
My guess though would be that this is so widespread, MS probably patented it to prevent someone else from doing the same and then beating them over the head with the patent.
How funny. I was told the same thing about the nuclear bomb.
Any technically-literate lawyers have a comment on this?
IANAL, but I think that a law which SPECIFICALLY prohibits some obscure behavior (that would lead to YEARS in courts in case of a suit) will certainly make the upholding of our privacy rights much faster and more effective.

Good God, where did that giant Martian emoticon come from?!!!
It's the cydonian mars face, DOH!

I remember watching LOTR downloaded (just a piece of it)... it was all skewed and there was the shadow of someone going for popcorn :P
Wow...I'd hate to be head of that project...
:P
Maybe THESE GUYS would like to give you a hand
Blame all the poverty on the political opposers.
Claim all the good stuff achievements.
It worked for Castro, it worked for Chavez, it worked for Bush.
Damn, for a minute there, I thought we could use his celebrity power to start convincing people that Linux really is cool.
I can Imagine Castro doing a commercial for Linux:
"Linux. Works for computers as old as myself!" (smokes cigar)
And rip your heart appart whenever the disc gets scratched
(That's why I always backup my anime divx's twice)

How long till the ABC guys implement this? They already got the "download Y file first" done.
Yes, thanks! I'd been looking for the title. I also recommend it. Very good :) Lots of tension in the movie.
mmmmmm... honeymonkey
Sounds delicious.
Oh, and you haven't tasted... Snake Surprise!

Wasn't there a movie about a prisoner who had an EXPLOSIVE around his neck? 100 meters away from his (unknown) complement, and boom!

Was it that hard to figure out?

A teenager could make a simple class out of an e-mail address! Where has the brain of the patent office ppl gone?
Has anyone calculated the interference of BPL over quantum wires?

What if you are the ONLY one that controls the access to system?
:)
Scrap that. What if you are the ONLY one who knows how the system works? Ah, it feels great to be non-expendable
I'll take my carpal tunnel syndrome thank you.
I'm still thinking that a mouse along with separate buttons (for the keyboard, to use with the left hand) should be much more ergonomic.
Reason:
a) You can switch fingers whenever your index finger gets tired (repetitive strain)
b) you separate the moving from the clicking, allowing better coordination.
My question is: Why doesn't any friggin' company do it!!
And it's one button. Apple must be onto something...
Wait a minute. If you want apple, shouldn't it be a CROSSBOW mouse? ^_^
They're forking the code so it can be compiled with CGJ (GNU compiler for java).
Ta-da.
Linux is GPL'ed, DOH... the code is there, they just have to download it.
