When it's in the public domain, you can do whatever the hell you want with it. You can sell it for however much you want... But guess what... Someone else is going to give it away for free.
The GPL imposes restrictions on the copying of copyrighted materials. This falls cleanly within the scope of copyright law.
Deciding what machine can run an operating system has nothing to do with copying and redistributing it. This is outside the scope of the copyright law.
Sometimes you may want to modify those JPG options. I'd rather be given the choice and spend an extra half a second to click okay again than have the options stripped entirely.
Because the number of people who can afford thousand dollar software and the the number of people who use Photoshop on Deviant Art are vastly different.
That's not a bug, it's a feature (for real). To their system, blah.blah@gmail.com is the same account as blahblah@gmail.com, and it was designed that way intentionally.
You fail to mention that you have to be good. With the ability to play good music, it becomes rather likely that someone who hears you play will go and show his friend some video of you playing and be like "Hey, look at this guy! He's really good!" It's called "word of mouth" and it's far more trustworthy than anything a record label could produce.
I'm not sure you have any idea what you're talking about.
You're comparing something that's highly rich in features, like Firefox, to an extremely bloated frontend. If it uses 75 megs of RAM to run something extremely simple, what do you think would happen with something just as complex as Firefox? Does extrapolation mean nothing to you?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Flickr pictures Creative Commons, for the most part? Doesn't that kinda defeat your point about needing performance rights for them?

You need to translate from lawyerese to English and back a few times to get it to really work right.
I know plenty of cool CS people. Perhaps our definitions of "cool" differ.
And more expensive to boot.
Don't forget using high tech fishing line to change direction in mid-air.
Then look up the information in USD and cross reference it with the historical exchange rates on your own, or write an application to do so.

Plagiarism is different from copyright.
I have an AMD processor that is roughly equivalent to a P4 that can run Windows 7 easily on a gig of RAM.

Portal was launched simultaneously on PC and console, but it plays far better with a mouse.
Why on Earth would they let the client control its own inventory in an online game?
Dump the ROMs from the cartridges yourself. It's a perfectly legitimate backup, and the emulators themselves are perfectly legal.

Think you mean steganographically.
And Microsoft can remove the infringing feature without having to purchase a license to do so.

The mod community is GOOD for the industry. Haven't you ever heard of Counterstrike?
I believe he means non-Hollywood actor.

And the domain was registered by GoDaddy... I find it hard to believe that Microsoft or Asus would use such a service.
Then perhaps they shouldn't try to pawn their creation through a medium which isn't designed to give them total control over their product.
You simply need a wire hanger.
