Not every song that plays on the radio is crap. I know this may come as a surprise to the RIAA-haters, but just because you don't like the method doesn't mean the product is no good.
I'll probably be troll/flamebait modded by said haters, but sometimes the world needs a dose of reality.
The only logical goal is to dedicate our lives to increasing our numbers, those that aren't fakes, so that in thousands of years our numbers may be such that the fakes would no longer be a threat to progress.
That doesn't make any sense. "Progress" is itself an arbitrary goal; there is no logical reason to pursue progress. Guess he's just another fake, after all.
My mistake. I thought your point was that Rowling had more money than she needed.
But I think your analogy would fit more as: Sudanese refugees enter your house and take the beer bottle collection that you were going to bring to recycling for the money.
Good point. There are Sudanese refugees living in camps with no income whatsoever. I think you should give all your money to them, because you obviously have more than you need.
If it's the company that gives you the right to say something in the first place (for example, posting on Facebook), then it also has the right to moderate that speech.
Who's going pay for the service of writing software if they can't turn around and sell it? The only other way I see is through advertising-supported software... and I know I don't want that. So I purchase my games.
Credit cards include language to the effect that they can change the terms at any time, but when they do you have 30 days or so to opt out, in which case your account will be terminated instead of renewing when it expires.
Unless I misunderstood you, you're confusing Linux with Windows or they've changed the install process considerably since XP. With Windows you must put the CD in, wait in front of the computer of five minutes, enter a very long string of alphanumeric characters including 1s and ls and Os and 0s and Bs and 13s, if you aren't on the internet you really get the "hitting yourself with a hammer" part as you authenticate, talking to a computer on your cell phone and entering another long string of alphanumerics.
No doubt... that's the a real pain. I dual boot Windows between BootCamp and VMWare... every time I boot into BootCamp I have to call MS to reauthenticate.
Then you have to sit in front of the computer for another hour or two (or even longer) and tell it that it's OK to reboot itself several times.
I've installed OEM XP SP2 on several computers recently, and the entire process took slightly over half an hour.
Celsius used in science. News at 11. Also, a special report on the water falling problem: Is the sky leaking or is God crying? Who uses Celsius? For thermodynamic relations you want absolute temperature scales. Doesn't matter whether it's Kelvin or Rankine.
Folks, this is to announce I have just founded a "P-Prize". The award is $1000 to anyone who can launch a satellite no larger than 5 mg to orbit the earth 50 times, on a budget of less than $100 dollars.
So... when does the publicity start?

Where is posting on slashdot in the list of activities that lead to fame?
No... most of the idiots just see a pretty blinking light. It doesn't actually mean anything to them.

I intend to avoid downloadable content until it's at least as flexible as physical media.
Physical media isn't as flexible as you may believe... many CDs were snapped in half to bring us this information. :)

True... but a human's resistance is sufficient that in neither case is the battery going to be limited in the amount of current it can provide.
On a side note, the "normal 12V car battery" can kill you just as easily. If not easier (700+A vs 6.5A). Volts don't kill you, amps do.
I = V/R
If your resistance remains the same, 330V is gonna provide a heckuva lot more amps to run through you.
The fact is you don't even know whether or not violating copyright is illegal. Your post fails, big time.
Copyright is a legal invention. Hence, violating copyright is by definition illegal.
If it's the company that gives you the right to say something in the first place (for example, posting on Facebook), then it also has the right to moderate that speech.
Heh... he floundered into that one.
That's a dismal performance by any standard
Shoot, I'd be happy if I released software and had 20% of the market in 2 years.

I've already got it figured out, Thed Ellroar! No google hacking needed.
Personally, the fewer laws they pass the better...
Boring no, repetitive yes.
I suppose repetition could lead to boredom.

You're right.
In my opinion, anyone whose first name is a plural deserves what they get. :P

The vast majority of people aren't going to be using touch screens... this is just for show. There's a reason this doesn't already exist in OS X.
