The government should have no control over the internet.
Because we all know what happens when the government doesn't regulate a market, a company like Micro-soft comes and takes it over and everyone (including the government) is at their mercy.
If anyone should have any control I would hope it would the the universities atlest.
Universities are heavily funded by the government, so it is essentially the same as the government controlling it.
Despite what the revisionist historians tell you, there is no mention of the "Moon" anywhere in literature or historical documents -- anywhere -- before 1980.
Is your whole post a joke? And if you think that the moon hasn't been mentioned before the 80's then you need to become a little more educated on mythology. Oh wait I forgot that is just an elaborate ploy by the government to.
Infact disregard my whole post, I am just another secret agent working for the government.
Don't correct people, unless you know what the hell you are talking about.
That was the point I was trying to make to the parent, of the other post I created. It appears that you also missed a comma in the above quote, I took the liberty of adding it.
And, by the way, I think "slashdot" is spelled with an "sl", not an "sh".
Actually, I believe it would be:
And, by the way, I think "slashdot" is spelled with a "sl", not a "sh".
Note the proper usage of 'a' instead of 'an', because the quoted text started with a consonant, not a vowel.
It all depends on who the target is. If this is targeted to the average person, I doubt they would know what a torrent is, or want to spend the extra 5 seconds to figure out how to download the file. Plus more and more people are behind firewalls and routers, and I don't think the average person would open (or know how to open) the correct ports to seed. So if this site is for the average computer illiterate person I doubt using a torrent as a solution would be much more benefitial.
People like the simplicity of just clicking a link and the video poping up and streaming in media player, no download overhead eather.
There you have Bill Gates's basic view of the world: "I've done all this work and you owe me." Maybe he still thinks that way; I've never met him so I dunno.
uhmmm... hello who doesn't think that way? For most people the point of having a job is to make money. Most don't have the resources to spend their time working without compensation. Ofcourse billy g has made millions of times more than his investment, but that is because of him running everyone else out of the market and no regulation from the government. The idea I'm getting to though is that people don't work for free.
argh, again with typical/. excuse for stealing software. It doesn't cost them anything besides the annual salaries, time, office rental, etc (just small things that can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars!), but they are still infact losing potential sales. For example how would you like it if you made your living as an architect and someone stole your blue prints, and then told you "well it isn't costing you anything"?
Don't most people feel that way? Judging by the amount of traffic tickets given out and the amount of people that pass me on the highway, I'd imagine they do.
Ofcourse, I don't know of anyone who doesn't. But we all have to live in cooperation even if we don't agree. Allthough I'm not saying everyone should blindly accept laws.
but then we'd have to ask ourselves what's so bad about making a copy of a car if the owner still gets to keep the original.
So from your line of thinking, I could could 'borrow' a draft of 'car x' from a company and start producing that car myself? What would be the point of ever creating a new idea when you can just steal others?
Of course everyone at slashdot will. Most slashdotters feel that if they don't agree to the law then they don't have to follow it, now they don't have to feel guilty! go France! Is stealing physical property going to be legalized next?
As it has been said many times before, it doesn't really matter what he thinks of the liscense. Linux will allways be GPL v2 and there is not much he can do to change that (even if he wanted to). So I am not sure why anyone even cares about his opinion on this, I certaninly don't.
Thus we've been keeping the climate comfortable for ourselves by merely existing.
That's a bold statement. The planet may become colder, but from the destruction of the atmosphere we will all slowly be backed into a radioactive crisp
why do people keep modding posts like the parent troll? if you don't agree with something it doesn't mean it is a troll, it just means you are closed minded for thinking that.

try logging in saying that.
It is infact a joke. After checking the parent's history it has been posted before, check http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=172442&cid=143 59638
I should have figured out it was a joke myself, I just take /. posts to allways be informative

No, it is actually Gates'

In reply to the grand parent post it is actually a spelling mistake not a grammer mistake
