The argument would be irrelevant not redundant you troll. But just for the fun of it I'll respond.
Two truths in symmetry:
There can be no ownership without freedom (DeCCS/DVD is a perfect exaple.)
Likewise there can be no freedom without ownership. Jack Valenti himself stated that privacy is a matter of property.
It's why people own land. Did they make the land? No
The liberty to be alone is what is missing. If you cannot be alone you have no safety nor freedom to speak of.
Tell me what is the difference between a prison and the outside world if you're always watched?
What is the difference between a prisoner with a tracking bracelet and cameras everywhere?
Why bother maintaining pride, integrity, and character if your life is to be constantly judged at all times according to the stinking broth of the collective court of pubic opinion?
If steal something in front of cameras available everywhere am I truly caught or am I just going to be given a different place to continue stealing?
Remember society is recycled every 30 years (the average population doubling rate).
You claim Americans see the cameras as being foreign and unusual. I claim you see them as being external as well though in a positive light.
What will you do when your next generation sees them as normal as furniture. And the next have no innate fear of them and completely ignore them?
Sir Churchill would be disgusted I'm quite sure of it.
We need such complex tools is because we build systems that the end-user has no chance to understand completely.
I especially find the comments about how source RPMS are even less likely to be checked by users amusing.
When are we going to stop designing systems so that they're programmer friendly and start designing them so that they are owner friendly.
Note I didn't say user-friendly.
The whole user friendly detour is juat a way to cover up a scam that gives programmers a job at the expense of usefulness, practicality (coolness we can afford), and general product value.
I propose we throw away terms like user, programmer, hacker.
Why?
The term owner is much better than the term user because it implies that the owner has a purpose for the product wheras the term user implies consumer-guinea-pig-product-swallower.
Owner implies that he/she will focus on a task and use the same sort of skills some doing their own gardening would, namely a little research here and there, a little planning, a little sitting in the sun and enjoying the pride of a task accomplished.
And yes the last bit I would consider a skill.
The great success of the user-friendly scam is due to to the lack of any satisfaction people derive from completing a task nowadays.
Owner vs programmer:
Code-fiend-quack-sophist vs artisan or artist. See owner vs user. Again tool builder versus someone with nothing better to do than sell bigger and bigger APIs for more and more overpriced products.
Owber vs hacker:
Frobb technician vs seasoned and focused problem solver.
And of course the term owner also makes the lack of any ownership in today's market stick out like a sore thumb.
Don't patronize, don't pontificate, and don't sell people stuff you built aimlessly.
Or how much Charlie Rose charges for a tape of his show? $80 (get the one where he interviews Kurt Vonnegut).
How's this: Save up if you want some.
This isn't just a Hollywood blockbuster you can get on DVD for $30 (90 minutes avg).
You're getting a heck of a lot more content here than you would from a movie release.
It's like asking why a play costs more than a movie.
Second it costs money to put stuff on TV. It wasn't free. It was in exchange for advertising.
You got it through your cable service. Now you're getting it recorded professionally direct from the licensed distributors and producers.
Are we going to ask people why something that lasted for for SEVERAL MONTHS doesn't cost as much as something that last for BARELY TWO HOURS?
A lot of work goes into anime, though it's funny you should ask because American cartoons cost broadcasters much more than anime does.
Lastly, the other reason it costs so much is that compared to live action filmed works, the painstaking work anime artists do is much more exhausting (though, much more rewarding IMHO).
In response to criticism for having used overlays, ADVFilms only used them for the first few discs.
In response to criticism of the audio work, ADV has changed its recording house.
They're no VKLL, but they get the job done.
Now folks, don't you wish you could get that kind of response out of politicians?
Personally I'm going to stick w/ the VCDs from ebay until I can guarantee DVD drives work on my future Amigas. Since Linux runs on the boxes I don't see why not.
Btw just so you guys don't start fudding:
Why amiga?
I love it when an architure with a P60 class processor and 16MB of RAM can play mp3s better than a standard PC with a P133 and 64MB of RAM. Even if you run the same OS (Linux) on them.
Anyway all I want to know is when and where in New York is there a theater release of the movies?
AMD is made of ex-DEC and NexGen programmers.
And Alpha companies are licensing AMDs tech.
What platform war? AMD is not cloning.

You can run x86 software on both.
AMD started as an company that Intel outsourced to. Then suddenly they decided they could do better. They don't clone. Neither did IDT. Heck neither does Intel. They all use their own RISC arch with an x86 frontend instruction set.
"Corporations have an innocent and noble aim, to make money."
Corporations have an interest in EXCHANGING POWER.
By power I'm refering to an ability, capacity, knowledge of, or any such enablement to succeed in a particular chosen task.
However, that's only the half of it. All of that is worthless speculation if you do not take into account the characteristic capabilities of that organization. If a corporation can't afford or doesn't care to acquire the legal skilled labor to accomplish something they will find other means.
You make the mistake of assuming that because money is the accepted currency, money is an end in itself. It is only a means. Read Ayn Rand.
You'll note that natural laws specify how energy is transferred or how it is exchanged for matter.
Corporations are made of people and interests. Governments are made of people and interests. Money is a measure of power. Whether that power is used to sell people the products they want or the laws people want they do so in exchange for something that enables them to get something they want.
Bah every pirate I ever met wanted something in exchange and I didn't have it. So I found some clips and then I bought the disc (which I would have anyway for the vid quality and the backup (I'm constantly deleting stuff), it's just that anime translations suck when they come from corpses.)
How much do you want to bet that we'll start out with a useful system and then all of a sudden devices will blow up as different devices try to lower the volume on other manufacturers' commercials?
Look at what happened to HTML.
I don't even want to think what the equivalent BLINK or MARQUEE tag will be in this case.
I think Strings.com has a better chance at this because they're contractors not a software company
and they build tools as the customer requests.
For any of these pipe dreams to work we need to get market share away from the generic producers and into the hands of those who work closely with customers.
Will someone mod this guy up to a 4 or a 5 before we're crawling with invention control officers denying individuals the right to experiment in their own homes!

The processing on Star trek requires computers which cuts manual work done.
I still think anime is much more time consuming and nerve damaging to produce. But that's just me.
It could just be the expected audience size. Then again of all the irony England had La Blue Girl in theatres.
Ever see how much the PBS series Roots costs?
Or how much Charlie Rose charges for a tape of his show? $80 (get the one where he interviews Kurt Vonnegut).

Athens (the fabled one) lasted about 200 or so years. Frankly, if I knew a bit more about history, I'd say it was a great reenactment.
And they wonder why they lose money....
And then they blame it on pirates?

People in the USA, at least, have a horrible "if it doesn't effect me I don't care"
It beats the "It's for the children" or "Oh my god Nazis" attitude.
As for criminalizing lobby groups...
The 13th Amendment did just that. But it was lost. And then it was found.
It would change everything. But people have to act.
Stop babbling.
It has components. It has to be cheap. Components have drivers. Reinventing the wheel costs money.
Microsoft is not going to (re)invent MS-Ethernet, MS-DVD, MS-AGP. They'd be losing more money than they already are (--> www.billparish.com --).
Consoles are a suicidal market anyway.
Do you see people making a proprietary film type supported by afew companies which only works with certain types of projectors?
Movie theatres would go out of business.
Besides they already had Linux running on it. NT351 would boot but the oh-so-special microkernel refused to boot.
I really hate it when people spout speculative ZDNet-style blather like this.

Irony thou wicked beast!
Murder is much more clearly defined than hate crime.
And banning murder is much more clearly defined than the intent in censorship.
And you're confusing banning with enforcement.
Banning hate speech, even more so censoring it, is still a matter of trying to enforce the ban on murder. It has no value in and of itself.
Banning murder has a very clear value and intent.
