Imagine a warehouse full of drug dealers dealing their drugs.
You're there, but neither selling nor buying drugs, just watching it all.
If the place gets raided, you certainly wouldn't be shocked if you were arrested along with everyone else. Now imagine this same situation where you're not even home that day, and you get arrested.
That's what's happening with these printers. They weren't connected to the tracker, but they got dinged because that IP was spoofed.
"Why does that make their results any more trustworthy?"
Because they don't get paid to come to a directed decision. They don't get money for saying that "Video Games don't cause violence" OR "Video Games do cause violence".
They don't have an agenda, so what they say is based completely on the research and not instilled opinion.
If you only trust sources with an agenda, then I pity you.
That doesn't resolve it, that just makes the buyer blackmailing the seller.
Simply put, the buyer is to bid and then pay-- the rest is the responsibility of the seller. So by being able to mark a buyer as 'non-paying' in their new system will have huge effects on their buying ability, while buyers can still rate the seller without fear of the "I'll rate you when you rate me" blackmail.
Currently the Blu-Ray drives are of a slightly different size, requiring companies (like Dell) to have non-standard sized disc drive slots that they are placed into-- meaning that only 'tailored' laptop forms can support internal Blu-Ray currently. This would make it so any current laptop mold could come with Blu-Ray.
These issues have been plaguing Credit companies with costs to make customers 'happy'. It's been a financial hit on those that have... shall I say: Strong pull in government.
Now, those same people can just attack the assailant instead of trying to get things corrected through their credit institution.
The law, I'd assume, is to actually support/help the credit companies-- meaning that it being a benefit to the consumer is a side effect.
Don't worry. We didn't go and be all sensible towards the general public on purpose or anything.
Using a secure and reliable O/S that's free to run your unit/server/whatever is a great business move.
However: Most Linux users are used to 'free' software, in both cost and open sourced. Ones that are willing to pay for products will usually run dual boot with Windows or own a Mac. This being the case, it doesn't justify the resources (as a company) to create a client that must work on all or select distros and/or make the source code public.
I would love Linux to get more desktop applications. I can also see companies perspective as-to why it isn't going to happen strongly anytime soon.

Pretty cool
Very interesting results if you check them out. I found this funny:

The die-hard gamers will keep a Windows XP partition to play the games -- or they will get a console.
I love games too much to sit around waiting for the day I can play them on the PC, and since I don't have Windows I just buy consoles.
It's just not worth it anymore.

This is a great change.
Don't you mean RoboCrop?
DRM and Copy Protection Schemes are cancer.

Depends on what function you purchased the robot for.

I RTFA, but didn't see anything about 'numbers'. "How" much is Linux up?
Did I gloss over it somewhere?
Oh, they'll "learn" once they call support for the movies. We need more of this to wake up consumers.
You just have to close one eye... both open is considered double-viewing.
Scare tactic.
The idea is "If they will sue a grandmother without a computer AND is blind... what the hell would they do to ME??"

PC patches don't require Sony's blessing-- that's the deal with it.
Who's "they" ?!?
You only download their software if you download a whole CD. Single tracks require no software download.
It had the music I wanted -- Didn't require a special download -- Is DRM free -- Is properly priced. When will MAFIAA shut it down?
I wish I had mod points for this...
