...you'd see that the building in question is contructed with windows and doors so small that a computer cannot be passed through them...
Of course, the structure was built AROUND the nerds inside. They also have oxygen piped in, a minifridge stocked with Mountain Dew and one TV always on the Anime Network.
You're right. Today's movies suck. The only films worth seeing within the last decade was the LOTR trilogy.
Hell, even my movies suck. I wouldn't want to see them on the big screen, nor would I want people wasting $7 per ticket to go see them. That's why I've adopted Creative Commons as a licencing scheme, released it as "free to copy and share" and just release everything on the internet.

Actually, it IS about the money. It's about all those greedy bastards who are addicted to making a buck off other people's trademarks.
If Linus is smart, he'd provide Linux personal and commercial users royalty-free Trademark use. If he wanted to charge companies who sell the product (Red Hat, Novell), that's cool. It's the cost of doing business.
As a WoW subscriber, one thing that disturbs me is the "queue." Recently, I've been seeing a "You are number n in the queue" screen pop up more often than ever, and I'm not waiting for just a few minutes, I'm waiting for a while. Also, you've recently cancelled character transfers to other servers. What is being done to alliveiate this?
Just a hint here: If I can't play the game, I'm not going to pay for the game anymore.
It references Title 17 Chapter 1 Section 106. Hence we see that making a copy is copyright infringement, and the copyright owner can take action against the copier. The content of an e-book is definitely copyrightable material. I'd quote statutes if you want it, but I don't think that's necessary.
I'd like to see this enforced:
Procecutor: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, we are here today to prosecute THIS young man. He was caught at the local community college learning from this illegally ripped e-book! How dare he be so poor he can't afford to licence educational e-books!
Quoth the article at Tom's Hardware, The third part of the announcement that is perhaps most surprising, is Blu-ray's adoption of a third DRM technique... what it calls "BD+," described as "a Blu-ray Disc specific programmable renewability enhancement that gives content providers an additional means to respond to organized attacks on the security system by allowing dynamic updates of compromised code."
I take this to say "We concede all control over this device to the **AA."
Am I the only one that finds this disturbing? Isn't this a violation of fair use? Will the public buy a player with BD+ in it?
While the installer is a fantastic idea, Gentoo will never be a true mainstream product until the installer moves from the experimental release to the final release. It's only then do I expect to see the usage of Gentoo soar to the level it deserves to be at.
"Frankly, our goal is to reduce (China's piracy levels) to zero," Gutierrez said. He declined to specify a timetable, but acknowledged it could be a lengthy effort.

Would you pay to see this shit?
Which way?
Well, to quote "Ghostbusters":
"Went right off the top of the scale. Buried the needle! We're close on this one, I can feel it!"

Oh wait...

It depends, will I get an answer? When I use the Blizzard technical support forums, they don't answer there.

Hmm, I'd go 100% open source if a GPL'ed non-linear video editor was available for Linux. I'll check into this, thanks.
Why? So you can drive n' surf the web at the same time?
All of the sudden, I have a great fear of laptops.
FYI: The world's still spinnin'
1) I'd like to see this enforced.
2) I have a lawyer too. Like me, he lives in the USA.
3) Where is the ACLU to challenge this?
Game over, man! game over!
Do they take PayPal?
STFU! Don't give Hollywood ideas. Thundercats is one of the last really good cartoons not to be messed with. Oh wait...
The Linux community politely asks the Unified EFI Forum to not add DRM into EFI as this may be construed as anti-competive.
Hell is still warm.
