but you can rearrange the letters in "internet appliance" to spell "panic entire planet" - these things are obviously plots to create widespread civil unrest and must be stopped NOW!
you can rearrange the letters in "waver driven generator" to spell "andover wage inverter" - There's definitely something fishy going on here and I'm going to get to the bottom of it.
you can rearrange the letters in 'Bill Gates' to spell: 'Legal Bits'? Just noticed that while Anagram crunching "uniform computer information transaction act" - more shortly.
this laser vinyl player. No contact, no wear, but yes it is sensitive to every spec of dust and dirt (not to mention quite expensive). That's the solution with lots of techs appeal.
As for the original question, not until the public starts demanding a LICENSE of rights to enjoy a work instead of a physical artifiact, and fat chance of that ever happening. Music is sold on the premise that the end user knows diddly squat about copyrights, licenses, and the little bastards will give away and sell copies and derivitive works at every opportunity, and must have technological handcuffs placed on each unit to everyone's detriment (which appears to be a valid assumption).
As a matter of fact, the recording industry beginning with Edison was pretty paranoid, restrictive and fascist, obsessed and fearful of losing control. I happen to have a genuine Edison blue amberol cylinder from around 100 years ago that reads:
"This record is sold upon the condition that it shall not be re-sold to or by any unauthorized dealer or used for duplication, and that it shall not be sold, or offered for sale, by the original, or any subsequent purchaser (except by an authorized jobber or factor to an authorized retail dealer) for less than 35 cents in the Untied States, nor in other countries for less than the price given in the current Edison catalogues of the country in which it is sold."
of course that scarecrow of a boilerplate never stopped anyone with the means to dup and distribute their favorite artists work.
was the name of a recent article in Scienteriffic American, about how "The first controlled nuclear chain reaction and the Manhattan Project grew out of the caustic collaboration of physicists Enrico Fermi and Leo Szilard" - great read but you have to buy the dead tree version.
Also, physicists (or anyone else for that matter) can find the Meaning of Life on the shelf at your local video rental store (Monty Python).
Everybody's complaining about how this stuff doesn't really work - but look, if the tight ass blue noses complain to the local politico that kids are looking at (shhh!), the politico makes the schools and libs buy and install product-anti-X, the kids finds holes in it and if they can keep it secret the tight ass blue noses are happy, the politicos are happy, the software company is happy, the kids are thrilled - everybody wins! The only problem is when the Mona Lisa is blocked and someone has to get an adult to manually intervene, end of problem.
All you have to do is convence Senators Strom Thurmond (about 100yrs old) and Robert Byrd - geez these guys were in their prime when the Model-T and Victrola were state of the art technology, yet they cling onto their 'seniority' status and have a big influence on the way things are.
Read somewhere that some hospitals are refusing to vid-tape births because, ahem, should the Dr. make a mistake s/he certainly doesn't want it on tape.
have been holding off a US invasion all this time with MULTICS??? How Embarassing....
Wondering what is replaceing it.... Suddenly the invitation to Microsoft to move north of the border makes sense.

A SF restaurant with delicacies like Microsoft Minced Chicken in lettuce, Cisco Chinese Chicken Salad, eBay eggplant, Inktomi Asia Burger, and the piece de resistance: Kleiner Perkins Oysters on the Half Shell.

PC - Personal Computer, Professional Consultant, Politically Correct, or Programmable Controller (which has since become PLC or Programmable Logic Controller)

ATM - Automatic Teller Machine, Adobe Type Manager, and Asynchronous Transfer Mode,
Now we've got:
OS - Operating System, Open Source. I thought it was 'OSS' Open Source Software, which should have little interferance from Office of Strategic Services or Oracle Support Service. Otherwise Linux is an OSOS, and NT is just SoSo.
I think a lot of the old pre-copyright artists/composers were comissioned to produce works, so that would throw self employment out the window right there - any IP creator would become a beggar (the old 'starving artist') looking for wealthy benefactors; e.g., Metallica would need some businessman to suckup to to pay the bills, and that would suck worse that what we've got as far as individual freedom of expression goes.
Seems I remember a big flap from O'Reilley about there only being little more than a few registry entry differances that prevent more than 10 connection to the workstation version, oh and several hundred dollars (which rarely plays into the comparison - the only conclusion one can come to is that most Msft advocates must pirate their software). And yes the 'Advanced Server' has the sliding bar for "forground application performance boost" over at the 'none' end of the scale to give network server priority over gui.
Everytime I setup RH62 it asks if you are setting up a server or workstation.

just search the Internet for "boatanchors".
yeah :) just ask yourself:

will probably always be around as long as there is progress in real(?) medicine.
the recent sharp uptick in purchases of "Patent Granted" rubber stamps in the DC area office supply stores.
probably the same way the feds can 'auction' off electromagnetic spectrum to the highest bidder.

Yet again, I don't think they could understand any other solution than buying a ton of Microsoft VOTE©® licenses at taxpayer expense, then we'd really be in a pickle.

I mean, somebody has to pay the bills, and it's usually some consumer or taxpayer.
might be old hat in 5 yrs. Details here.
but I'm not going to explain it, noooo.
First we had cornfusion with:
PC - Personal Computer, Professional Consultant, Politically Correct, or Programmable Controller (which has since become PLC or Programmable Logic Controller)
then
ATM - Automatic Teller Machine, Adobe Type Manager, and Asynchronous Transfer Mode,
Now we've got:
OS - Operating System, Open Source. I thought it was 'OSS' Open Source Software, which should have little interferance from Office of Strategic Services or Oracle Support Service. Otherwise Linux is an OSOS, and NT is just SoSo.
calls the tune.
