Please everyone - if he's right, and can produce a working device - then HE IS RIGHT.
Gotta love the "crackpot" comments. He might be - but give it a chance.
Based on some of the closed minded comments posted - some of you must have forgotten what we come from, and why we have what we have. Remember our history - brilliant minds were killed for mentioning things like "The Earth Orbits The Sun" - KILL HIM!
By inventing, breaking the rules, and learning we strech our limits, and achieve greater things.
To say that Physics as we know it is done, and perfect - that's a crackpot statement, right along with "Intelligen Design".
If he's wrong, and never produces the proof - then tear him apart.
So that's why IBM, Microfost, Sun, Apple, EA (and on and on) have all failed. Silly argument. No - more resonable prices, a more moral (read: capitalist puppets) social climate, and better law enforecment will get rid of piracy. Keep in mind, no matter what the BSA or RIAA says - it's still socially ok to priate software, as long as you aren't on the street corner selling it.
Is another Taiwanese company making and profiting form the drug?? I firmly believe that patents should not get in the way of human rights, emergencies, etc. - however, if another company (or Government for that matter) profits from sale - Why have patents?
The more restrictive and pervasive DRM gets, I for one am sure to keep a good 'ol VCR and analog TV around. Not as good as DVD, or HD - but hell, it works just fine. I am a "quality" snob, but I will not surrender my Fair Use rights for that quality.
Spoken truly like someone who's world view comes from the daily Alabama newscast. Yes, the rest of the world is an awful, evil place. And they all beg for American money and intervention. So they can eat cheeseburgers.
You are a a typical american asshole (yes - I am american) America is the worlds $avior!
Is Deomcracy why we have the best TV's? - but the worst education, worst environment - Oh, I forgot, we are rich.
Go back to your pro Bu$h camp - hate fags, stop abortion, spread Big Screens, whatvever.
The former Soviet Republics are doing FUCKING GREAT under democracy - thank you - let's make sure the whole world loves money more than their brothers or the envrionment.
Funny - I went the other way around. Contractor for 5 years. My wife was about to have a nervouse breakdown every time a contract came up. So I took less pay and freedom (to change jobs only - work is work!) for real benefits and stability.
Unless I get laid off, as our company keeps outsourcing.
"with the simultaneous launch of new versions of Windows and the Office suite of PC applications in the company's most significant new product cycle since Windows 95"
Hasn't every product cycle that M$ has pushed supposedly been the "most significant since Winwods 95"?
And WINDOWS 95 is our measuring stick for a ground-breaking, life changing OS?
I'll go back to tapes before I pay $15 for 15 songs that some greedy record exec says aren't mine, or tells me what and how may times I can move or copy a song.
Even better - go with one of the "unlimited" (I won't give them pub - if you don't know what - just stay away) services that has such a restrictive DRM that the music you've purchased is worthelss if you cancel your subscription.
I won't pay to download SHIT untill the product is MINE. Free to do whatever I want with it - isn't that the point of buying it?
No kidding. I'd pay $1 for a kick in the nutz before paying for that intrusive garbage.
Windows = freeware. Really. If you deny that - then put down the pipe.

I don't know what I'd do without all those time wasting presentations.
Get a f'n clue Bill - I don't want MS (or anyone else) to be the only name in my household and workplace.
But please don't call me left-wing, I love the NRA, capital punishment, and Wikipedia - ads or not.
Ads are a fact of life - someone has to schill to make ANYTHING happen. Nothing is free (as in Beer).
Rather, once produced - what STOPS the sale of said drug?
When did Governments get so suddenly benign?

Sacrilege!

Exuse me, I need to go watch TV, and be brainwashed so I find this to be funny.

Of course $50 Billion of that will be spent on developing foam that won't fall apart.

What gives them the right to brainwash everybody? That right belongs to TV...

Whatever... America and it's population hurt it's poor the most. Not a friggin' TV...
