IANAL (nor do I ever want to be), but my guess would be that F4I would count as the initial distributor and Sony would be able to claim ignorance to get out of it (which is true -- I highly doubt they had access to the source code). Not to mention, they pulled the CDs from the shelves already, which they could say coincided with the revelation of copyright violations on the discs -- ie, immediate action was action. I'm not trying to defend them or their practices at all, I'm merely looking at it from a "who can be held accountable" point of view.
Bear in mind that Sony will never say that they're responsible for it. After all, they merely licensed the copy protection scheme from First 4 Internet. While we all should (rightfully) be pissed at Sony for including this on a bunch of their CDs, we should be equally as pissed (or moreso) at First 4 Internet for their (L)GPL violations and for making this product in the first place.
Everything from the color of your iPod to the way you drink your coffee is supposed to express your personality, and the world is supposed to be exactly the way you like it.
Well, let's see. My iPod is white. And I like my coffee black. And I would never think of putting my iPod in my coffee...I think that says a lot about how I like my world...
I thought part of the reason we want to go to the moon is to get away from the damage we've done to our own planet. So, the first thing we do when we go up there is start irradiating the ground so the dirt behaves the way we want it to...
My original sig was something along the lines of "Repeal the 22nd amendment. Give Bush and Cheney a few more chances to get it right." Take what you want from that...
Wow, that thing is beautiful. Can you imagine pulling that out on a plane and plugging a 2600 joystick into it for some gaming goodness? The dual thumbpads are a nice touch too...
Thank you. At least I now have something to read while waiting for the images to load...

The Depth of the 360

Are you seriously comparing the ability to buy a computer to the ability to buy a console?!? One can be used for a number of household things (accounting, word processing, etc) AND can be used to help develop useful skills for the future (programming, design, etc), not to mention it's entertainment abilities. The other can be used to kill tons of time. Yeah, I can't figure out why parents would save up a bunch to buy a computer but not a console...
The setup costs seem huge and I wonder how often they'll tap out a given dig's heat (if ever).
The answer should be "never." There're extreme temperatures and pressures at the depths they're drilling to (sorry, don't have my P/T chart handy). That's the nature of having nearly 3 miles of rocks above you.
I say you should go for it. I think he might have it, despite his repeated assertions to the contrary. Be sure to put "STUPID QUESTION" in the subject line.

Um...it's from the deCaprio movie?
Hmmmmm....ummmm....uhhh...nevermind...
Don't worry. 64-bit SPAM is coming any day now...
And whoever said that Microsoft was a key player in forcing people to upgrade their hardware?!?

My favorite line from that book was "Some pig!"
And this mindlessness is exactly the sort of thing that will push it over...

The best (and only) way to deal with a mime is with a gun.

on the other hand, open source means anyone (with the skills) can take matters in to their own hands...
I don't have hands, you insensitive clod!
Millions of years? You're thinking on the wrong scale. Bump it up by a few thousand of those millions...

The added bonus to this is that you're (usually) supporting your smaller neighborhood record shops rather than the mega-chain stores.
And then you'll realize that many of those oft-used but off kilter binary only codecs don't work on PPC chips.
Hey dude. You really should change your homepage. All that comes up is the "Apache has been successfully installed!" page. Fucking noobs...

Shhh...Be vewy vewy quiet. I'm hunting wumpus.
I'm confused at what you're getting at here. OS X requires neither product keys nor activation.
