You might want to leave the Republican vs Democrat junk out of this, most of the groups who want to ban the games and music to save the kids groups are supported by people who claim they're Democrats, Hilary Clinton, Tipper Gore, and Joseph Lieberman to name a few.
I'm still out on what's happening, but it seems as is some of these people believe the earth has never been warmer than it was last week. Where are the predictions that we'll once again have huge grape vineyards in England like we did 500 years ago but don't now because it is too cold?
XP can handle 2 dual core CPUs just fine, where did you get the that it can't? 2003 is just a serverfied version of XP like NT 4 workstation vs server, there very minimal differences, most of them licensing issues like concurrent SMB share connections or number of CPUs, not number of CPU cores.
1. Many open source projects require you to transfer copyright of any submitted code to them, not to sublicense it to them under your choice of code.
MySQL for example will license you their source in either GPL or non-GPL varieties so that you can incorporate it into your software to resell and not provide a license, they can dual license because they own all the code, they could not dual license if someone had submitted code under the GPL to them.
They also seem to have not had very many people contribute back to them.
2. They can't close up the GPL'd source any more than you can because they've already released it, but now future improvements won't be released to the public.
3. In about as long as it takes for someone to register a domain and post the code. Whether or not it will be developed much is really the question.
One of the problems the Nessus team faced is that they would sell support, but because the project is open source and available to anyone, anyone else could also sell support, or make their own improvements and rent out "Nessus servers", this is one of the holes hoped to be "closed" by the next version of the GPL, but we'll see.
Actually Microsoft will not go after you for purchasing Windows XP from "Honest John's Windows Stall" (or at least not 1 single copy, for 20 copies they might)
From Microsoft's web site note question "What is the genuine Windows offer?" and their answer? "The Microsoft genuine Windows offer is designed to help customers who unknowingly purchased counterfeit versions of Windows XP, by offering those who qualify a complimentary copy or electronic license key for a genuine copy of Windows XP."
THey probably have several reason for doing this, for one you only have 20 copies, but Honest John is selling them and probably has thousands and is a much better target, for two Microsoft generally doesn't go after individual people, it just is not cost effective, three it is not particularly good PR, adn four they might not even have much of a leg to stand on if you have a legitimate claim that you didn't know the software was illegitimate.
Not saying your analogy is flawed, but you might want to pick a better target than Windows XP.
Should have researched it more before posting, the name of the company was Matthew Bender and it looks like they got bought by LexisNexis. I had thought Penguin had bought them as there is now a Penguin Publishing sign and logo on the outside of the building where he worked.
My brother used to work in a company that printed law books, except they weren't bound books, he'd drop in a couple dozen reams of paper with 3 hole punch into a big Xerox made machine and out would come books, or the essence of them anywho, they would get dumped into 3 ring binders and sold off to lawyers. He would do a print run of a hundred or so copies, it wasn't quite print on demand but it was close
I seem to remember the company's name was Bender, and got bought by Penguin.
I recomend using the move to folder option, along with increasing the amount of allowed waste space under edit to something like 10% of the medium you'll be burning to. Also change the search time to somethign besides 0, 10 or 30 seconds should be fine for your purpose. It is quite powerful, but that as usual means it has to be tweaked for your application.
Burn to the Brim will allow you do do this, it's not automated, it just figures out what goes where and moves the directories into a structure for easy burning. It may take a little while to get it to do exactly what you want.
That didn't seem to be the concern of the grandparent poster, those 1.5 million Chinese players are all on their own set of servers, not flooding the other server sets.
I used to play on Blackrock(US)and had plenty of farmers there too.
But they'll only be able to sell to other sweatshop farmers, the servers aren't mixable, the North American/Australian/New Zealand server are seperate from the Korean servers are seperate from the European servers, the Chinese servers are sperate from all those other groups.
Stamping your hand would last for a year? That's why the season ticket holders had it in the first place, and it's probably cheaper to use the already in place infrastructure made for that than to roll out a new system, one that would get washed off if you visited any of the number of water slides, luges, or other wet attractions.

Gunfight bad, deterrent good.
If the criminals know no one but them will have a gun they're more likely to strike, they don't like getting shot either.
I think the real real problem may be that Linus sees no inherent benefit in moving to the GPL3 and doesn't really need a reason beyond that.
If it isn't broke (as he seems to think it isn't), why fix it.

Nice strawman you knocked down right there.
Yeah, because there is no sales tax in New Hampshire.
But I understand what you meant to mean.

But the supermarket isn't charging me money for not selling something to me.
AM works fine for stereo too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrature_amplitude_ modulation
Actually... considering it doesn't play MP3s, I would say it has 0% of the MP3 market, it plays AAC files.

Works fine for me in Firefox, and there are no videos on the page.
How you got moderated insightful is beyond me.
Only $1000? gamestop has a bundle that is almost $2000, the Omega Bundle.
Wal-Mart actually has a very cheap bundle at only $576 where GameStop's cheapest is $700.

Maybe you missed the part where they said "Nintendo has not yet released official imagery of what the controller shell might look like."
Nintendo WILL be releasing some kind of shell, and even if Nintendo did not, some third party would within about two minutes.

Many of the wireless products out there allow you to use two different frequencies to double pump the wireless connection.
Here is one of Dlink's offering called AirPlusXtremeG
