Until the software starts downloading what you're watching for, there's no benefit whatsoever. Napster clients can only download after they search.
You'd have to search again to actually download.

That's just it. They don't have to. People get their software at home based on what they use at work. Then they call all software Microsoft. Not even MS Excel. Just MS.
Having said that... "Designed for the Internet", now if they can get away with claiming that plus claiming invention of Kerberos (how many ppl know it was an open unix standard for years?), what's next.

Paying for a copy of a CD for every place I use it is theft by the author. The same way I wouldn't send a check to a public copier owner when I can scan and print at home.
Ok that point of crossing, and the light beam is useless I'll agree to that.
What about rotating a long metal rod from its center. The atoms at the ends of the rod will move faster than the speed of light. And the faster the angular velocity the shorter the rod has to be to stay below the speed of light.
Now comes the signal sending bit. Say you had a long metal rod. You move it forward. Note I'm saying you move it. You don't hit it with a hamer to send a wave across.
Since we're talking 186kmi/s. For a distance of 18600miles, it takes 1/10 of a second for light to get to its destination. If I move a rod that long 2 miles in 1/10 of a second I'm sending a message faster than light.
There's no doubleplusungood, there's no more. There's no less. Just opposites. I happen to like the GPL. But honestly they're both viral. And they both deny warranty. The GPL has the excuse of many hands touching the code, but the EULA has no excuse.
They're debating security addons on the list and refusing them almost unanimously because they seem to be all spec no substance. Frankly I would just add the security as an option and at the same time develop my own. Perhaps even raise the issue with the spec writers. There's no telling what the kernel hackers will do, but I do see them doing more than MS would do in a lifetime.
Actually we could with a study of the machine in both virtual contexts and real contexts and record a proper mechanical analysis of the whole not just what we find comfortable or convenient.
Patents are monopolies granted to encourage disclosure. Read the Law. It specifically says patrents are NOT REWARDS. In fact it says the same of COPYRIGHT as well.
The concept of patenting as opposed to the advertised concept of patenting is to trade a reasonable compensation for disclosure of works.
The advertised concept is sole proprietorship. That's a load of bull.
Let me explain something: Invention does not exist. The laws of physics already state what is possible and what isn't. As a result there is only educated discovery.
The best example is the gui gallery here: http://www.pla-netx.com/linebackn/guis/
Take note how many of ideas Xerox metions have come to life in other systems.
Another reason this issue bothers me is that I've been fantasizing the next level of development of OSes. The idea is simple: Do what 's been done since the old days -- make the system more modularized in developer's point of than it already is. Guess what? Mac OS X is there I still hate the company and its attempt to wipe out all experienced users from the general audienmce. But aside from the coplexity this step creates, it's an amazing system. It should be called PDFos or Micromac OS. The fact that I or anyone else is capable of conceiving of such a so called breakthrough makes me very concerned about the way the system works.
And there's also a concept of a period of time when the world is ripe for that "invention". That throws even more doubt on the concept of isolated originality, which is what the notion of invention really is.
AmigaOS was 32-bit preemptive multitasking 10 years before the appearance of Windows9x. The Amiga also had WebTV style addons way before the explosion of the web we're used to.
The point Dickinson refuses or fails to recognize is that the patents presented are not inventions, but integrations.
I'd accept a 9 month period to grant monopoly on integrations in specific regions.
Hacking absolutely is not programming! Programming involves a clear application of ready made tools. Hacking is what goes on when the only tools you have are design principles.
Programming is about what you do. Hacking is how you do it.
Quit believing in terms like treason, censorship, freedom and liberty.
Aside from that... how do you suppose we got where we are: They just don't exist any in the US any longer.
Couch potato politicians like yourself are useless. I'm 24. I may live to be 120 god forbid. There's no fucking way I'm going to put up with crap for the next 96 years.
1. The MPAA is not arguing about copyright. That's a public opinion ruse. EFF screwed up assuming they were and lost the injunction hearing.
2. Capitalism and consumerism are completely different things. Selling a product and forcing shit down ppl's throats are different things.
3. It is not an unruly mass of rioters. Frankly I don't think the hacker/cracker debate is over it's just beginning to rise. Just as there are physicians, surgeons, nurses, coroners, forensic scientists, and axe murders there are several classifications of programmers, users, crackers, hackers, slackers, cypherpunks, white hats, black hats, etc. To say only the criminal element exists I take as a serious threat to my chances at an online contracting business, satisfaction from the tools I use, plus access to a teaching tool no university can match. This issue IS NOT GOING AWAY.
4. The denizens of blah society... please stop editorializing and filling in the blanks. It's shameful. This isn't the X-Files
5. No offense but you're not leaning in any direction. Just going in circles.

Use-licensing is seriously immoral in my opinion.

It doesn't belong there. There's a saying: We are conditioned to condemn politics. This allows those in power to stay in power.
Carefully with your chosen prejudices.
The same way I don't need a copy of Goodyear's tire design to slash a tire.
Obscurity is acop out.

Fair use asshole.
Patents are govenment sponsored monopolies in EXCHANGE for disclosure. You can only own a work. Not an idea.
Furthermore, the patents disputed are patents no one works but on integrations. Nothing new was made that no one else uses.
Mafia, communism, fascism, take your pick all the same.

Next you'll tell 2+2=5 just cuz it's recognized world wide.
You couldn't get out of fucking infinite loop.
