Don't worry, you can still leach the World of Goo Linux version just like 90% of the people playing it did. No DRM, win for everyone. Well, except for the developers of course.
Are you saying Google has actually reduced the progress? By being the most progressive web company ever? And offering most of the stuff for free?
Even further more, what exactly do you call "proprietary" here? Is it same as "not coded by bunch of amateur programmers who got no pay"? Many "open source" projects have no documentation or very little and the actual code has no comments. Isn't that basically the same as "proprietary"?
You mean it's like all those fat people in US, who realize after all those years the same thing as people in third world countries realized a long time ago: Starvation is the way to being thin.
Well, it really can't be imaginary as you cannot download what does not exist...

Why TV Lost
·
· Score: 1
Yeah, but that's the same thing as using your PC as a TV basically:) It's still pretty much the same 2D media, that you consume.
Why didn't cinemas disappear with TV? It's because people don't really want interactive media all the time. An example: Would you make a bowl of popcorn and start going through some online publishing outlet with your loved one? No, you want to watch a movie with him/her and cuddle up in the sofa. For that, TV's perfect. There's the experience of sharing the media that the people here are missing.
You are forgetting this is Slashdot - just because people here would choose to download the material, the majority of regular folks would not. They want a TV, because that's what they are accustomed to.
It's really a question of what's good enough for you - for most people, TV is good enough. Just like other inferior and out-of-date services like SMS messaging and email today. You need much bigger step in technology than just a more convenient delivery channel of the same content.
Complete BS. The Wall Street knew all along the bubble would burst, and cashed in all the time while knowing it. In essence, they kept milking while perfectly well knowing it would come to a disaster.
There's a crisis every 10-15 years. Huge crisis in every 30 years. How can some one be that gullible as to believe the economics would NOT see this coming? Of course they did, but saying and doing something about it would be bad business. It would scare off the suckers... who end up paying the bill.
EU does not care at all about the fucking browsers. They want to squeeze some money out of Microsoft, and the browser thing is a perfect tool for that. Microsoft ponies up, because it can afford it easily.
So what is the answer? I mean you got +5 insightful, but you didn't actually answer the OP's question at all, you just made some vague remarks about corporations making laws. What are you downloading or seeding that could possibly need privacy, other than warez?
What does it explain? That he does not leave his desktop machine humming away in the night, but turns it off? Like the rest of the world does also (well, except for leachers), including all the Linux desktop machines owners. Yeah, that totally proves Windows sucks.
You can install the games you bought from Steam on a number of machines you like, BUT log into Steam only from the machine at the time, meaning you can only play from a single machine at the time. Which of course makes sense. So no, it does not authenticate or tie you on a particular machine.
Well, to be fair, Microsoft needs their browser extensions and what not for Windows Update to work AT ALL. It's not like they add them just for fun and to piss people off.
And besides, I don't think it's even possible for Windows Update to run on multiple platforms, you know... Because it updates Windows.
A very good point. I bought a pack of rts games: Supreme Commander, Dawn of War (+some extra pack) and Company of Heroes.... all together for about 20 bucks... But I did buy World of Goo, too:)
Don't like DRM or DMCA? Don't use products that it applies to. It's that simple. There's you choice, as a consumer. The real error here is you may think you have to have a TV or you have to watch DVDs. You're wrong.
After a year without TV just reminds me how pathetic the whole thing is. People act like consuming entertainment media is air that you need to survive.
You know, TPB does not earn a SINGLE cent to the people who actually make all that music and content, either. So no matter how much robin hood you want to call them, TPB also steals from the poor.
Slashdot Mirror
Did you forget iPhone was released only a year and a half ago?

You're right about the Oracle proving really something open source community can't do much. They're called "jobs".

It was actually a pretty good rock album. Nothing spectacular, but pretty good.

Warcraft 3 requires something like a Voodoo 3 card. Even the slowest integrated gfx chips today outperform that by something like 5-10 times.
In fact, you could get faster frame rates with a dual core CPU doing ALL the rendering into the frame buffer.
There's something wrong with your laptop.

Wow, you're right! The story does not mention USA at all
"With Linux kernel updates"? How would you then describe to a normal user how would his Linux experience improve with a new Linux kernel version?
Remembering how the kernel does not actually interact with the user at all: It's all the helpful userspace stuff that does that work.

"The Internet interprets limiting warez downloads as damage and routes around it."
Fixed that for you.

That's one of God's storages of intelligent design material, you insensitive clod! He has to have spare parts somewhere, you know.

And how exactly does Microsoft know which DLL hacking attempt is made by user, and which by a trojan application?
Well, Galactus and Silver Surfer.
