i have no idea if these people are charging just for costs of the CDs + burning. and i don't know whether they made any specials mods. i have no idea about anything of this case but i was just assuming they were trying to make a quick buck by selling it for undeserved profit. so even though you point out you said businesses spend money on compressed air and not 1 atm of polluted air, i had thought the CDs contained just regular ol' "1 atm, polluted" firefox
shouldn't an os have the ability to play common files though? playing a file that renders moving pictures on my screen seems like natural ability to an operating system to me. maybe i'm just spoiled and brainwashed by MS. but i guess i also can see how that is an abuse of a monopoly, but why is the EU so freaked out about it? you'd think WMP comes bundled with kiddie porn or something.
and didn't quicktime and realplayer both suck pretty bad? i know i hated realplayer.
i admit i have no idea about this case other than the summary but the summary acts as though not understanding how something free can be sold it a bad thing. so my point would be that the summary should say police were perplexed at people selling CDs and 'time and effort' and 'costs of electricity for burning cd burners' which happened to have a modified version of firefox(or whatever the case my be).
if they're still offering that present to anyone for free right next to you, yes i think it would be wrong for you to sell it to a blind person who doesn't see the original giftgiver giving it out for free.
your analogies suck. no one buys regular, polluted air at 1 atmosphere of pressure, they buy specific gasses or air that is compressed. is this cd compressed and/or purified and they're selling it for the effort of compressing and/or purifying it? again, no one sells water that has "fallen from the sky"; they sell purified water. are these cd's purified, whatever the hell that would mean?
can someone explain to me why people care about windows media player being bundled with windows? i could maybe understand internet explorer, maybe. but wmp? what?
how about they lower the goddamn cable price instead? that would be far more successful in getting people to switch. fucking aol-time warner. FUCK!

Flexible Body Armor

yeh but those areas have muscles don't they? flexible armor would be better than hard armor in allowing the muscles more freedom to move while flexing without needing to the make the hard armor loose right? the bone of my shin is just a narrow part of my leg, and my forearm isn't a column of calcium either. doesn't the rest of it need protection too?
the government has no use for a large population of intelligent citizens. businesses have no use for a large population of intelligent consumers. intelligence is far too dangerous to establishment.
so then does the government have the power to restrict google and yahoo but leave walmart, nike, etc, alone? that's what i want to know. is this an all or nothing decision, or somehow limited to the internet. and if it is limited to the internet, how can they justify that?
a baby learns to walk on two legs because it has two legs. similarly, if we want robots that can be nimble on two legs we should focus on developing bipedal robots, not just giving up and calling them ineffective because of present day limitations
but... i have two feet. SHOULD I GO SEE A DOCTOR??? help me! i'm scared, what am i supposed to do?!?!!? what happened to my other pedals??? why has no one told me before that i was two legged freak?
you don't have to create a bunch of Gs when accelerating, especially if you're talking about using gravity(if you and the ship are being accelerated at the same time then it's basically 'freefall')
you know, the first time i even heard of intelligent design was on slashdot. the only time i ever see a post about intelligent design is from people like you who know doubt ran off to teach yourself every little thing about intelligent design as soon as you heard about it. everytime there's a long pointless thread about science vs. intelligent design it's always started by people like you. just shut the fuck up. go make these kinds of posts on intelligent design message boards or something. WE ALREADY GET IT. and for the 10 people on slashdot that do believe in intelligent design, so what? they never say anything about it and if they ever did just mod them down and ignore them. you know why this shit hasn't died down? because of idiots like you that keep bringing it up. either go kill some intelligent design proponents or shut the fuck up and ignore them like a normal person; stop obsessing over them. "oh but if we ignore them they'll gain strength and everyone will be forced to learn ID!" yeh right. you know that isn't true and if it somehow ever did happen you would be completely justified in starting a bloody revolution. so even if you don't want to ignore them, ignore them in the hopes of being able to wage a war on them later. geez
i didn't know they had medic packs lying around in the real world. who knew? in what games can you shoot medic packs? and why would someone who plays games and uses medpacks to get to 100hp associate that with a real-life person with a small medic badge?

anybody else? you know, with an actual answer?
can someone explain to me why people care about windows media player being bundled with windows? i could maybe understand internet explorer, maybe. but wmp? what?
the idea that something free can be sold perplexes me. i don't think it has anything to do with copyright and more to do with the word 'free'
troll? what, do you mods work for aol?
huh????
but what about the peaceful iraqi rioters?!?!?! (from an old slashdot article)
they prefer to be called little people eaters

which is why i included the two words 'large' and 'consumers'

can you prove, as fact, that you exist? or that you even post that comment? can you prove you're reading this right now? aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh
