lets see if they all agree with that when no sysadmins show to make their pcs work and the guy the hire to replace the last one is worse...too bad about no $$$ though. lol.
Its time we stop the advance of the RIAA. If we don't other companies/industries will be trying to follow suit. Here's an unlikely and extreme but maybe not impossible circumstance: The company that makes your OS claims that any image displayed on the monitor the was directly or indirectly created by the OS is copyright by them. Think of the implications.
If Microsoft does start Windows' inactivating (especially on false premises such as this) its bound to have a negative impact on their sells; and of course anything that would do such is have dire importance to Microsoft. Its only a matter of time before this is either old news (if it doesn't act like M$ software) or be removed/replaced (if it does act like M$ software and cause migration to other OSs).
Why not just blame their programming language? Or better yet, Benjamin Franklin for his work with electricity that led to the invention of the digital computer which led to invention of software which led to the invention of malware!

I'm a software developer and I couldn't agree with you and grandparent (and probably 99% of the other people who reply) any more. If I wrote a program with such a fault (which I wouldn't) I most definitely wouldn't be calling it a virus. Something like this no different than a program crashes when it gets unexpected input etc.
...this should theoritcally put to rest the conspiracy theories having to do with the Apollo mission and a Western US military base of which the government doesn't acknowledge.
I take it you mean that mass emails are dying down? I use 5 kinds of IM, RSS, and various other means of web communications but when I need to contact an individual (particulary who is not online at the current time) I still see email as the best choice for matter.
Lets ask this on this July 4th... what did our founding fathers think when they gave so many rights to the businesses of America, making them a collective individual under law? Did they expect to be giving power to some "music industry" yet to exist in their times to become a voracious self-palliating industry of corporate vultures preying upon the weak and the innocent?
taking a screenshot and using a real camera are becoming increasing alike. with cameras, if anyone can use one the photos are less likely to be artistic.
but you fail to acknowledge that creating a screenshot is something that can be an artistic task just as photography-in a game the task of positioning everything just perfectly and then the task of editing the image as you want it to be. take a look at some fansites to a game like simcity 4 or similar. the planning and designing that some use makes this a bit more difficult than just "pressing a button."
...I hope to see this, as well described, draconian law shot down by either the Oklahoma courts or any other method as I don't wish to see anything similar being implemented here in my state. As a software developer, although not a game developer, it would be easy to see this as an obstruction of my freedom of speech from the point view of a game developers responsible for such gaming software.
As digital technology advances the internet and software have became more and more a method of [b]content delivery[/b], they're not always "the content" or an "object" as many laws have sought to treat as.
Good point.I'll reiterate that in a different view.The registrar companies (aka ICANN) think this is a good solution (including all of the other new TLDs) as it means the same companies will want to buy their current domain name on that new TLD... try doing a WHOIS search on Google or some other search engine and see how many TLDs they have registered.
What good would considering the opinions of/. readers be anyway if you're already assuming gamers won't like it.../. is for geeks, most geeks are hardcore gamers too. Basic statistics here people... lol

the spyware on my brain caught the following thought...
I hate big brother... computer crashes, reboots, finishes writing this ... I love big brother.
So that's how they get those digital eyes in GITS (Kokaku Kidotai)
great one. something tells me there went my post getting modded funny. lol
...wasting good time just to go pk stupid people.
Lies, lies, and more lies. They've turned the internet into a US presidential election.

shhh... keep it quite; do you know what would happen if web developers knew that?

I've been complaining about this and related issues for a while now. my last journal

nice to know when I put a mathematical operation into google it'll tell me those answers that much faster!

this is more reason for the geeks and FOSS community to sit and wait for our oppurtunity to revolt and for our own government.

good idea, but would wiping out all of our government officials result in anarchy..?
