116 times their actual damages would be around $40
That's still an imaginary damage. Most of the people I know who download music either 1. would never buy it in store, so that's not money they lost, or 2. buy it precisely because they downloaded it, liked it, and decided to buy it. No lost profit there either, quite the opposite in fact.
Just a quick test: you google something, and nothing comes up. Is your first thought "I need to try another search site" or "I need to check my search terms"?
So, with the "breakthrough" a few months ago that three different dyes in a cell could capture 40% of light from the sun, does that make this more efficient than coal?
Well, it doesn't take millions of years to make more when we run out.
You see cop dots on the map along the highway...slow down or you'll get a ticket.
If you're not looking at the road while speeding, you should get a ticket. I don't mind going fast if the road and weather conditions allow it, but at least pay attention.
...what the rest of the world says. Bush made it policy that the US acts unilaterally when the administration believes it is in our best interest.
And it doesn't occur to anyone that maybe humanity shouldn't be playing God is not such a good idea when every fucking decision we make is purely for profit? Just read up on genetically modified corn and all the possible health implications that are left out of the mainstream media.
Yes, I know that 'enterprise' quality peripheral support is really very good, but a lot of devices that people want to use- in large organisations & small - just can't be installed and/or work correctly/as expected/to thir full potential.
Could you name one, please?
My experience with Linux was a bit different: I've never seen a piece of hardware that wasn't fully supported including my noname (Philips) MP3 player. On the other hand, a fresh install of XP would regularly tell me to download a driver for my network card.
Incorrect - if it runs in Wine, it'll run in FreeBSD (a supported platform).
I hope you were joking. WoW is supported because there are millions of active players out there, and because Blizzard plays nice. The 3 best supported games I have are WoW, Diablo 2, and Starcraft. Incidentally, I have four games that I was able to run with wine.
I just wanted to point out that people are quick to jump to conclusions if it reinforces their reality model.
Giuilani: "Hey guys, earthquake is coming." Everyone else: "No it's not, idiot" Giuilani "Yes it is, look at my research!"... Everyone else: "See, it didn't come. We knew you are an idiot!"... Earthquake: "Sorry, I was held up at the border" Everyone else: "OH SHI-"

Just the term itself, "you google something" kinda prooves my point.
It was intentional. I meant the act of searching on Google.
Google is now synomonous with the internet.

Nothing is truly indefinite
Heisenberg begs to differ.

That costs a lot more up front and depending on how much water you are using may never be worth it.
You know the world is fucked up when drinking water has a price tag.
You realize that was probably the real troll hidden within the more obvious Wintroll.
You realize he's still a moron.
If the Author supports it, then to me it is as much a Linux solution as any other app that uses external libraries.
No, it's still a workaround. You need at least ELF binaries for a "Linux solution".

My dad still gets confused when an address ends in something besides, ".com".
That's what you get for not having one TLD for the US.
If any are particularly dorky, they may end up going viral like the Star Wars kid.
Yes, but we don't want that.
It's like someone figured out that someone will eventually pay for a license for software you are good at using.
Blizzard and WoW. The client itself has no copy protection whatsoever.
The catch: all the free servers out there suck. Horribly.
It's a shame the prosecution botched this case and withheld that evidence from the court
Shame, if it was accidental. If not, well done.
It's great how we no longer have to fear malicious Internet traffic, now that the evil bit has been set on every such packet.
Since 99%+ of the traffic is either spam or torrent, we can safely set the evil bit on all traffic.
Compared to both of you I am a complete lightweight, but I still experience headaches, depression, etc, when I go without.
I smoke, I drink, I don't do coffee. Last headache I had was 5 years ago.

People have to realize Microsoft can't code their way out of the windows hell to a decent os.
People don't care. They just want it to run their favorite game and accounting software. BSD doesn't do that.
Who cares. By then XP will be a crusty old piece of shit. (More so!)
You mean a crusty old piece of shit that's still better than their current offerings.

Weak analogy. Getting within a few weeks of correct on an event that occurs irregularly on the scale of decades to centuries seems pretty good to me.
The funny part is, he was *immediately* labeled an imbecile when the earthquake was late.
By a nuclear war for example.
That doesn't count.
Unless of course, you'd be worried about your WoW account while billions of people are dying.
Why can't it become routine to (also) link to a cached copy?
Are you suggesting the editors should read what they post?
You must be new here.
The guy deserves just what he got for being dumb enough to so publicly announce that he broke the law.
To put it in perspective, if you live in the western culture, you probably broke at least 10 laws since you got up this morning. Big deal.
