How on earth does something like this get "Insightful" ? If it will get replaced, then you can just say "see, I told you so" despite apparently not being more secretive. If it doesn't, then you can say "well, they're more secretive." There's absolutely no way you can disprove such a statement.
Yeah...the US cut off its oil after the Japanese refused to continue their imperial expansion in China and the like. Oh how evil of it, forcing the Japanese to declare war on us by making them choose to either back off from a war they couldn't fight without oil, or to go take it by force. Worst reasoning ever.
Those aren't really differences though. Here in the US we have GSM as well. The US and Canada have number portability laws for land lines and mobile lines. We can also buy mobile phones in full price without signing contracts.
I think I have pretty good idea why it says free and no limitations. The free is probably there for the "Shareware, freeware" type of licensing (after all we are talking windows world here). The limitations would probably be the field for descriptions of limitations the software may have on it in terms of what you can't do (for shareware versions).
In your attempt to try to educate him about the way the rest of the world is, you fall into the trap where somehow people assume the "rest of the world" is just Europe and Canada. For example, much of Asia is far more conservative than the US is.
I thought the GPL was supposed to bring rights to everyone, not to be turned into something for people to use in discriminating against certain populations/organization. Seems like a corruption of the core values to me...
Now that they're actively uploading on a peer to peer network, let's sue them! Oh, but then they can claim it was fake files, thereby allowing all future victims of litigation to claim the same thing. I've never figured out why peer to peer software developers don't just put some kind of thing to prevent this in their EULAs because then A) People don't get sued into oblivion or B) Software EULAs are invalidated.
The real way is for someone who hasn't been accused of downloading to sue the RIAA on racketeering charges. That way you're only dealing with the music industry's business practices and not the fact that x person has downloaded music.
Really, so many of you are caught up in what you believe is right. I doubt anyone who is complaining about this lawsuit has even read the filing. Its in very plain english, and really shows you how Intel has been shafting AMD. Since when has a lawsuit destroyed a company that held a monopoly? Some of you make it seem as this will make Intel go bankrupt. It won't even if AMD wins.
Honestly, I really don't care for apple about this. They have their own patent arsenal and they aren't afraid of strong arming people with litigation. The only time we'll ever get reform is if all these companies end up getting sued so much that they need reform.

Thats a plain lie. You clearly have never been around in America if you truly believe that to be true.
Thats right. Watch video with a stopwatch in hand. You'll see that they don't fall at 9.81 m/s^2.

That's called a mass driver. Using em to catapult vehicles into space.
On the campus (UW), the firewalls/NAT prevent us from connecting to many other peers so downloads take days. Instead we use DC++.
Japan lets practically no foreigners in. Amongst if not practically the most homogenous population in the world.

Doesn't anybody else think its a cheapshot to compare a Blu-ray movie to one on a single layer DVD? No commercial movies are that small anymore.
Yeah sometimes the truth hurts...If it happened, I don't think I'd be hurt too much though.
That is actually not true. SK is a member of the WTO. They cannot disallow the sale of certain items just because they don't want it.

They have their own patents. They use litigation through different means, not patent suits, but that doesn't excuse their strong arm tactics.
