What amazes me is that some poster a few posts up was *surprised* that it was a socialist that proposed this. Damned ignorance is going to head us all into totalitarism.
1. Because you make the prospect of getting caught less pallatable for wanna-be criminals. Duh! 2. Because while in Prison, said criminal cannot commit more crimes. 3. Because Death by hanging would be too polemical for that cases.
Just out of curiousity: Did you buy your relatively low ID from someone on ebay? I mean... it doesn't take too much time on/. to learn that people don't RTFA.
I am from Brazil, our government is raising expenditures as crazy, and thus, have to raise taxes enormously. We already have the most expensive iPod in the world because of our taxes and tariffs. It will be cool for IT and Telecom and its jobs if we starting also having the most expensive routers....
I think you did a little mistake: The version of Windows that costs pratically as much as an apple TV for the Media Center features is the ULTIMATE version, not ULTIMATUM. Actually, Vista ULTIMATUM is a very closed distribution of windows that get sent only for PC manufacturers that insist of the silly idea of offering the option of Linux preinstalled for their customers.
For added effect, grow a beard and use a large camping backpack with some suspicious wires running to your jacket's right pocket where you keep your hand
Actually, hydroeletric is one of the cheapest sources of energy. The facilities last way longer that the alternatives, there's no much personnel involved in operations and there's no fuels to be bought. Usually, operating cost per Kw/h is one quarter of that from coal. Really, I have no idea where you got this idea of hydro being the most expensive source of energy, it's one of the silliest comments I've ever seen here.
He could then buy a Mac. Though I don't know if he would need to buy another license for Photoshop, just because he is running on a different platform.
Damn! I really hate people who have real arguments. Fsck! Well, maybe I was a bit wrong, though I still haven't decided, but just to save my honour, let me say that when I release my code under the GPL I am letting clear that I am distributing that code only for people who decided to abide to those terms, it's not like someone was using my code and then, when they decided to extended it, someone came and said "Uh no! now that you extended it and are about to release it as commercial product, I would like to say that if you release it you need to give your extensions also!".
Freedom of expression applies to views and opinions, not on this case, because I have the right of property. If it's my code, it's my code for gods sake, and I can do whatever I want with: keep it closed or make it a BSD code-slut if I want to. I have no right to block you from writing your own code to do what my code does, you can reimplement my idea the way you seen fit, but copying my code without my permission is not on the realm of freedom of expression, because, hell, it's not even YOUR expression. Democracy is not at risk when you can't steal my code. That said, I am much for Open Source, if I ever write something on my own (out of my job, the code I write there is THEIRS) that I find that could be useful for someone else, I will release it GPLd, even if I have a commercial interest on it, because I think that philosophical questions aside, Open Source is the only way for a talented individual compete against the giants. But FOSS is not against copyright, in fact, there can't be FOSS without copyright, because without it FOSS would be eaten alive by stinking asses like those from showmypc.
I seriously considered modding you down as offtopic just for the fun of it, but it would be anonymous and definitely not fun. But few things could be better as a practical joke than modding down someone discussing slashdot moderation:-)
If I fscking release my fscking work under a GPL license, what in hell gave you the idea that it's fair if you take my code, modify it, and then start selling my fscking code with your fscking code modifications without contributing your changes back to the community. If you don't want to release your code, the remedy is simple: Don't base your fscking stinking work upon someone else's GPL'd work, start it from scratch, then, if you start it from scratch, you can keep it closed as much as you want. (And given your attitude and dumbness I think it's a great idea if you really keep your code CLOSED)
Come on, if there was such kind of stupid people on earth, we would have Bush as the President of the USA, people telling Cuba is a Democracy, and Lula would be president of Brasil. No way I can see this as a likely scenario.
So suddenly all the talk about the right to self-determination and sovereignty doesn't apply if the ruling force is the Chinese? Interesting point of view... So, you mean it's ok for China to occupy Tibet to "Free" them from a theocratic government, a teocratic government btw that never engaged on genocide. I wanted to hear your views on US occupation on Iraq, just as a form of enlightnment.
Gosh! What do they teach in your schools???
Even I (A Brazilian, mind that!) am aware that the US is by far the largest producer of grains in the world. Why do you think your farmers need subsides? Why do you think the US government donates absurdely large ammounts of grain to starving poor countries? It's because you have the largest stockpiles of food in the whole fucking earth.
Really, your ignorance about your own country depresses me.

Oh, sure... and it doesn't affect freedom of speech...
Man, I think it's time for you to take a red pill.

Frankly, all of this looks way more like Gestapo than SS.

Vorbis is a fucking ugly name. I can't see Apple using it, not on this life;

Good idea for a new bump sticker:
"On the days of nerd rapture, my computer will drive this car!"
Yes. you're right. As a producer the US is the first only on soybeans and corn if I am not mistaken.
Let's see: Vegas or Denver? Humm... a tough decision!
