This is what the movie industry needs to deal with those pesky pirates.
What wooden legged, one eyed pirate is going to steal a 3d film that requires two good eyes:)
Why should I ride two hours each way to work on public transportation, making multiple connections when I can take a car and have a 25-30 minute commute? that only occurs when their is either poor city planning
or you are misinformed of the best route to take to the destination
Transport companies really do need to resolve these
I used to take 2 hours Train versus 40minutes by car.
However taking the less obvious choice cut travel to 45minutes
(sometimes going the other direction is quicker than a straight line.)
How many Australian companies make money from massive American companies exploiting the CSIRO patent
How much money does Intel Conexant broadcom Cisco etc pump into the Australian economy?
well they take large sums from Australian and pump it into their international coffers.
You don't even need that
Windows Services for Unix 3.5 is free to Windows XP and 2003 users.
Included by default in 2003 Server R2 and all Vista editions.
It's been tried a few times in Australia
Cases and even a bill that would outlaw Speedometers that exceed the maximum speed limit (110 Kmp/h)
Obviously it has failed a few times.
I find it strange that a KC Ford Laser/ Mazda 323 speedometer reaches to 220kmp/h
The car can't possibly reach that speed without falling to pieces
Adobe, Real, Google will no doubt be extremely loose with their purse strings to get their Proprietary apps instead of open source alternatives installed by default. on a Linux Desktop System
Adobe Acrobat Reader instead of ghost reader Xpdf, KPDF etc
I have yet to use sharepoint either however i do use Lotus Notes (without the Lotus Suite)
These tools are created with the same goal
Maintain a single server where end users use a file creator like Word or Google Docs to create a document which is replicated frequently and stored on a central server within a Database
the idea is great as currently all staff would use a Network share to store files
Network shares unlike collaborative tools like above
the network share model is very limited
*You cannot have Multiple access or collaborate updating a document.
Tell that to my 2 x HDTV Leadtek TV Tuners that dont work in Windows at all
Where as they were plug and play in Suse 10.1 and 10.2
OUT of The Box
Tell that to my Brooktree 878 Analogue TV Tuner which only had Windows 95 drivers (no 2k or XP support)
Tell that to my Creative Audigy 2 which does not work in Windows XP correctly thanks to severe security measures Creative chose to use in their Drivers.
Linux OpenGL support for NVIDIA and ATI are equal/or Better to that in Windows especially Vista

not exactly
The brain can be replaced, knowledge data and skills can not be
Staff turnover in some business' is enormous since you can replace people with other people.
A business can sack a person and replace them.
You can reinstall a computer and replace the kernel.
it is difficult and timeconsuming to hire a new person with the exact knwoledge and data as the previous person

Windows 98 was a disaster compared to 95 in stability.
Windows 98 introduced brand new cutting edge levels of instability
Windows 95 was very simple bland and stable
Windows 95C added new features but was kept simple and a true stability upgrade.
Wheres 2k in your list?
1. Windows 95
2. Windows 95C
3. Windows 98
4. Windows 98SE
5. Windows ME
Tell me with a straight face the latest revision is always the best
eally? Why would you suggest knuckling under to it at all? Don't BUY an iPod, or anything else the bastards tax.
That my friend is what the fiends at the CCRA wants you to do.
Think of the companies that will lose enormous amounts of money because of that attitude
Think of them recouping their loss in sales by bumping up the prices further
Think of the loss of interest in digital distribution, no MP3/WMA/M4a players, will you buy CD's? Well thats all that is left
A car is metophocially almost 100% identical to a computer
The car is also prone to attack
Auto theft has varying levels of success

Crappy ignition (bad password)

percent in relation to what figure?
65% of all products are pirated?
for every 100 sales 65 of those are fakes
100 real copies are bought a further 65 are fake?

i never actually seen a Socket 6 motherboard
I owned Socket 7 mainboards
I had a K6-2 with the wonderful multiplier 2x = 6x that AMD was kind enough to offer.
I upgraded from Pentium nonMMX 100mhz to K6-2 500mhz @ 6x 83mhz 460mhz
on a terrible board with max multiplier 3.5 or Pentium 233.
These type of vehicles should in future also be under the spotlight due to the uncertainty of
Miles Per Carbon Output
and Miles Per KiloWatt
The electricity used by plugin hybrids doesn't all come from the internal combustion engine.
If the electric Motor/engine is inefficient we've just moved the high level pollution and high fuel usage from the vehicle to another source
If this occurs we haven't solved anything

That doesnt help the Australian economy

he constantly refers to Peer-to-Peer Networks as a method of users sending files to each other
yea and Traffic Lights take people from point a to b
strange since Peer-to-Peer communication does the dirty work
