that's not low compared to pay as you go phones in the UK, the minimum a year for my plan is £0. Most plans require you to only make or receive a call every month, so if you make a 1 second call each month, it would be about 12p a year.
My computers don't usually scream when they are thrown out of the window, plus it's more of a crash than a thud when they land. Are you sure you aren't throwing your colleagues out of the window, I know a lot of office workers being dull and beige, can be mistaken for computers easily.
What would you rather have, an extra 500 dollars or knowing that you don't have to worry about the feds kicking your door in and dragging you off to jail, or worse, the Russian Mafia dragging you of to a meat locker somewhere to face Boris the Bear and his assorted woodworking tools who informs you 'Exploit not be working, now I show you how Boris do hacking, eh?'
well that's cos Europe has the better technology this time and the US wants a bit, you can bet if the US had the better system, they would not fork it over.
I bet they write out the dog in the new film, they cut him out of the 1954 film every time it's shown on TV, poor dog, it's not his fault he was called Nigger.
when posted the picture would be of a cat that was both dead and alive and would only become dead or alive when it gets read.
In soviet Russia though, it is far more complex.
If they are creating derivative works, then there could be more serious implications than violation of copyright.
AFAIK At the moment ISPs in the US are exempt from being done for any kiddie porn that is sent over their lines cos they are just a transparent carrier, they aren't meant to change the content, and in return they are protected from liability for any illegal kiddie porn or oter illegal stuff sent over their lines. or something like that.
If their proxy downloads the page, and rewrites it then sends the rewritten page, are they then republishing that page. So if they rewrite a page full of kiddie porn, and then send their own rewritten page to someone, are they not publishing and distributing that kiddie porn, and there fore can be done as kiddie porn distributors?

presumably one honking big generator is more efficient than a load of little ones. Wind speed is higher further up than at the ground, so having built a huge tower it makes sense to put a honking big set of blades on top, better than building hundreds of towers with puny little windmills on them.
I did once see a wind farm in CA which was made of hundreds of tiny windmill, but that was in a canyon, so presumably the aerodynamics of that was advantageous to short little windmills instead of big towering windmills.
The reason there's no German version is because most of the stuff on you tube is funny clips and jokes, and everyone the Germans have no sense of humour.
They already did in the UK. They tricked this bunch of fuckwits into thinking they were going to send them into space, then locked them in a box and shook it about a load and told them they were in orbit, they then told them they were in orbit, they made up a stupid excuse for them not being weightless and the idiots bought it. The idiots then proceeded to cry like little whiny babies when the truth was revealed and they had just been humiliated in front of millions of people and all the papers were mocking them too.
That's why I mentioned the bodywork designs which are the main element being copied, as the engineering in the clone and the genuine Super 7 are different, and it is the unique appearance of the Super 7 which is what people wish to copy. Car bodywork and design features such as grilles and headlights are copyrightable and can be infringed upon. For example Rolls Royce enforces copyright on it's famous grille design and would sue copiers, the only source of Rolls Royce grilles for custom vehicles is from scrap rolls, likewise Morgan also enforces copyright on it's waterfall grille design, and Lotus has made claims of ownership over the shape of the Lotus Esprit.
Caterham could claim infringement for manufacturing bodywork that copy's their designs, especially for design features such as the Super 7 grille and nose-cone, or the iconic wheel arches.
Anyway, the other guy is right that building a kit car which copy's the design of another car isn't the same thing as watching a movie, but then again, copying a car exactly with some sort of 'magical garage' isn't like copying a movie either, as when you pay far a car, the biggest cost is for the people to make the car(the physical part), not to design it(the intellectual part), whereas with a movie, the biggest cost is making the movie(the intellectual part) not stamping a disk(the physical part).
If I had a magical garage, I certainly wouldn't use it to make a copy of my neighbours lame car, I would make a far cooler car of my own design.
Of course all of this still leads to the same point. Piracy is not the same as stealing, no mater how many ridiculous analogies (especially car analogies) you go through.
A lot of windows users downloaded iTunes because they bundled it with Quicktime, and you had to find a tiny link the size of an ant's toothpick to get Quicktime on it's own. So all the poor chumps who just wanted to watch some.mov file had to download iTunes even tho they didn't want it.
It's always mentioned as a hypothetical situation, however, there is the situation of the Lotus 7 (now the Caterham Super 7, after caterham bought the rights) and it's many clones. The Lotus 7 was available as a kit car and many people copied the designs and made replicas out of cheaper parts, for example, the infamous Locost as detailed in the book "Build your own sports car for as little as £250" by Ron Champion (ISBN 1-85960-636-9), which details how to make a replica of a lotus 7 out of the parts of a mk 1 or 2 ford escort.
Of course, you have to still buy the parts, and you have to put it together, but if you copy a film, you have to buy a CD-R to put it on, and you have to download and burn it. Although you can't really make a Locost for £250, it will still cost you a fraction of the price it cost's to buy a Super 7 from Caterham or one of it's licensees. Obviously the resulting Locost will not be as fine as a real Super 7, but neither is a Divx CD-R scribbled on with a marker pen as fine as a nice shiny DVD in a fancy box.
Fact is, if I go and built a Locost, I have certainly ripped of the designs including the copyrightable bodywork designs of the Lotus designers, which are rightfully owned by Caterham, and have supposedly denied caterham income in the same way that I would have suposedly denied income to film studios if I pirate a movie.
So, maybe we should change it from, 'would you steal a car?' to 'Would you build a Locost?'
no, what happens is, the rich continue as always, because they can afford the tax incurred by a 50 ton SUV, whereas poor people can't afford to run their cars or heat their houses and as always get fucked over. Meanwhile, the money goes on stupid political schemes like 'carbon trading' and 'carbon neutrality' and so the planet gets flushed down the toilet. And when the dam walls burst and hate fields turn to dust bowls, the rich will not be the ones who end up starving and homeless.
except for the setting. In the book it was set in a post nuclear-war world, where Britain was the last remaining western power that hadn't been nuked. The country was on the brink of utter collapse, which made V's actions more questionable as a collapse of government could have meant a collapse in the country's infrastructure and mass starvation. The film was a much more stable world, where a revolution was definitely a positive thing and the grimness and unpleasantness of the country was a purely government manufactured state, just as the chaos in the rest of world was due to ongoing conflict, not due to apocalyptic devastation.
Anyway, the graphic novel was a work for the 80's, the future it portrayed is anachronistic, the film was far more fitting for the 00's

I believe it is known as The Collective.

I dunno, those Americans do some pretty weird stuff. Just look at corn dogs, like what the fuck? Crazy Yanks.
What's your next idea, get a computer with a big hard drive and Download Teh Internets.
actually, after intense selective breeding, your dogs will be highly inbred, and probably have lots of health problems.
and vice versa.
it's true, the PS3 has an amazing record. out of all the PS3s sold, all 5 of them work fine.

kind of like capitalism was the big failure of the 16th century, before making a triumphant return in the 19th century.
