For safety. If it goes out of control near the ground, you don't want it to just accelerate into any inhabited areas. 200 miles up in the atmosphere, it probably doesn't matter that much.
Yeah. I only know the Swedish numbers, but I don't think they differ that much internationally, at least not in the western cultures. According to them, the content creators gets to see about 2% of the money that the population spend on culture. The rest ends up in the pockets of various middlemen.
No, because lossless compressing of audio, video, executables and text files require different compression algorithms if you want a decent compression ratio.
I'm sorry, but the "Look at me, I have a low UID!" stopped working when people started to sell their accounts on eBay. Next time, try some real arguments.
As I mentioned in another discussion, it's not only difficult for YouTube to control the copyright on uploaded material - it's impossible. I can upload some clip of a swedish TV show, but who would they contact to see who owns the copyright to that?
I could also add "(c) Viacom" to some clip that I have made, does that mean that Viacom now actually owns the right to copy that clip?
In Sweden, at least. The law is a bit strange, and I'm not sure if I like it or not. A picture of someone is regarded as personal information about that person, in the same way as the phone number or address. I think that is about to change though.
There's no simple way for anyone else than the copyright holder to know who owns the copyright for a video, unless it's explicitly stated in the video. Most of the time, this text is removed from the YouTube videos, so unless you happen to know exactly who to contact to see if for example a certain episode of the simpsons is still covered by copyrights, you can't do anything other than blocking all contents from the page. It doesn't even help if they prescreen the material. How can they possibly know if a Swedish clip I upload is covered by copyrights and are illegal to spread? Who should they contact to check?

I knew the MySpace-crowd were young, but 5 months, wtf?
Dude, it's Snakes on a Plane , not Snakes on a Plain
But what happened when you pushed the button? Did you receive something special? Bacon?
Well, then we would at least know for sure you're lying.

How did they figure these files were worth $38 billion when it only cost $200000 to create them from scratch?
If the programmers and actual developers get 45% of the remaining $59, it beats the music industry content creators by a magnitude or more.
Are you sure you don't mean Jim Backus, you know, the guy that played Mr. Howell on Gilligan's Island, and was the voice of Mr. Magoo.
Nope, you've got it all right.
In fact, almost everything is counterfeit from Chinese goods, since the original "high western quality" goods are also made in Chinese factories.

Atari sucks! Amiga rewlz!
Make me a 68060 based Amiga laptop with the AGA chipset, with a 1472 x 566 pixel TFT, and I'm sold. :)
Well, the Game Boy Advance is 6 years old.
Well, you got me there. :)

Funny, that was exactly what I thought even before I read the summary. I bet there will be no chance to browse anonymously this time.
I'm sorry, I don't understand your analogy. Do you have one with cars?

Yep, but you see, I never used Kubuntu, this is why I mentioned from the beginning that we were not talking about the same thing.
I have no idea why such settings does not exist in Ubuntu, but it would be nice.

Please tell me exactly where in Ubuntu I can find this menu.
Whoa! Can I have some of that stuff too? Must be some strong shit you're smoking!
