stop trying to fight irratonale of these patent & copyright thingies on their own ground. they are legalese. legalese, can be changed to fit any private interest's needs.
you argue prior art today, and win, some other bunch of lawyers will argue something else the other day, and go around your argument. if not, private interests will finance a new law, and will totally undo whatever defense you were using to defend the rational approach.
patent, copyright systems are intellectual feudalism. eventually they will be totally dominated by whomever has the most wealth/power. they need to be abolished, before we come to that point and need a revolution for that.
yea, its in caps. its in caps because i dont know how harder it can be stressed any further. maybe it should have fireworks popping out behind the letters.
they ban players, players will use hacks/cracks to play the game they BOUGHT. they sue creators of hacks&cracks, and eventually they will hit a wall in china, or russia, while trying to sue creators of crack/hack # 1231285.
in the end, because of their MORON legal team, they will not only lose A LOT of publicity, and gain hostility from entire internet gaming community, but also will have accomplished making their position harder. i bet just because of this news, there are some people in russia or china already working on some stuff, just for the glory of it...
im 35 years old, i listened to iron maiden at their prime, listened to metal for my teenage years, yet i didnt see any problem with abba even then. good music, is good music, regardless of genre.
every day tasks, chap. even in that state, i dont lack processing power. and i not only open and play tolling 3d games on this computer, but also run development webserver, 4-5 instant messengers, 2 browsers with approx 20 tabs or so, various code and document editing programs at the same time. and i dont feel any issues. and this is amd 4800 with 3 gig ram. its actually 4, but im on 32 bit windows.
even today's mainstream cpus are far more powerful than what our everyday tasks involve. even the fps-hungry gaming crowd has been reaching perceptive limits in regard to human eye, and the frame rate has become a sport, a statistical value.
unless society takes on seti, parallel computing etc as hobbies, we wont need more processing power in our daily lives.
most of the IIS servers generally happen to be the web outlets, extensions of small business infrastructures of small businesses. and they run 1-2 websites belonging to them. however, in shared hosting world, linux is de facto the king, and an ordinary linux box houses 100 to 200 websites, belonging to different individuals or businesses.
the difference in between these, because shared hosts give 200 sites over one shared ip, and iis servers generally run a few websites, it seems like there are more websites being served by iis servers than they really do. on one side a linux server hosts and serves 100 different sites on one or a few ips, on the other side a iis server serves 2-3 websites over the same amount.
moreover, microsoft makes deals with some hosts like godaddy to have their domain park page served from iis servers, to bolster statistics in that fashion.
this is why microsoft always uses ipserver os linkage in statistics. even at that rate, unfortunately they are not able to boast anything. last i heard was what, 2 years ago ? now they arent even talking over ips anymore. seems like even that trick is useless.
taco. im telling to you. now, on to ranting about the stupid rant you caused us to read. lets use our brains and make an analysis :
10 years ago, linux and open source were a non threats. since a while, microsoft is using EVERY means to prevent them. bribing local governments. national governments. handing out free licenses to schools in south america. pressurizing european union and governments to drop open licenses, and to turn away governments from linux. they are even making videos about open source. they even came up and said that, they didnt like piracy, but if piracy was to happen, they would prefer their o/s pirated. every other month a top microsoft figure barks or snarks about linux or open source.
and situation phenomenally improved DESPITE these. notice the stressed word. DESPITE. proprietary companies are using EVERY means in their disposal to stem linux, open source, and IT IS NOT SUCCEEDING. 'every means' means a LOT. what kind of a lot ? lets see, this kind ; back in 1950s, lockheed bribed numerous nato countries' defense ministers to choose their f104 as the main fighter aircraft. they succeeded and in the end it became de facto nato fighter craft, and caused a lot of national air defense industries to go bankrupt, as well as a few american ones. also it killed hundreds of pilots on take off and landing due to incompetent design. however thats a side issue. then, another example is intel. they bribed desktop producers to use their cpu. what happened ? intel domination for decades. only recently they have been fined.
these two examples show that, how a big company can wreak havoc and change history 'using every means at its disposal'. and, linux and open source, are things these are being used against now. yet, they are still succeeding.
remove microsoft lobbying and meddling, you will see your desktop on the linux before you can say 'chair'.
think. do you think that anyone can push american copyrights and their enforcement in russia ? if you think so, think again. they cant.
so, it was to be either that all pirated microsoft, or, they used openoffice and open tools. with the latter, ms at least saves face.
and theres their tendency to coding as well. they seem to have an inclination for coding and programming. maybe because of the long east europe winters. they would much prefer to have what they can mess with, than some product made to be sold to technologically challenged american small to medium businesses.
i have given you 2 links. one of them, in case you havent noticed, is age of enlightenment. french revolution is a result of that. american revolution too. anything you see as 'modern' values, are too.
reading that article and following links you find there, will supply the historical information regarding aristocracy, that you so sorely lack. then you will keep refraining from saying moronic things like 'aristocracy didnt abuse power', or think that the principles of age of enlightenment, and reasons for all revolutions, have just materialized out of thin air.
dont go uttering the word 'proof' when you dont even know shit about elementary history. you are talking like an arrogant idiot, asking for proof of the moon existing. it is at that level.
no, it is at that level, and i am not going to spare any effort for teaching you. you need to school yourself. its your responsibility. this is my last reply. dont get offended if you dont get another.
what were you expecting when everyone is let to profit without limit and bounds ? some groups would eventually gain power and protect their own interests over the interests and freedoms of others. if you let any kind of power accumulation, it is inevitable. and, money, is power.
microsoft uses EVERY opportunity it has to deter competition, ethical or unethical. if you play nice at this point, despite you have a right for complaint, you will give them a free pass. because, they wont hesitate when they get a chance. eu knows how to deal with microsoft. let them do it.
because america has let this patent trolling to become a big business in itself, and even tried to push/coerce it to all the world, all the parties are now taking their precautions, including china. not to mention that those companies are also trolls, seeking to make money.
america created its own menace, again. and in the process, created another menace, the patents, for entire world. it is quite wondersome, how america is able to create godzilla scale menaces on its own, to menace itself back, while going after profit.
arms, culture, language are not rules that govern a society. religion is already abolished. philosophy is what gives us the understanding of what needs to be abolished. property will eventually be abolished in higher stages of societal evolution. i cant even begin to tell that the word 'ideas' dont fit in that sentence.
food for thought : 'if it wasnt abused, aristocracy would work perfect as a social system'. with your logic, even this is possible. so why not reinstate aristocracy...
Pay up, or burn up. its that simple.............. yea, really. its that simple. dont come up with shitty rationalizations and excuses. it is what it is.

and then what will come next ? real-time modeling of thermodynamics of farts ?
ahahaha ahahaha ahahahahaa haahahah sarcasm !!! how rare and funny, on the internet !!!
well it happened... from this point on we need better and smaller cpus, only for mobile devices.

tho there are many contenders for that tld ...

aristocrats didnt abouse their powers .....
our discussion ends here. have a nice day. you have a lot of history reading to do.

food for thought : 'if it wasnt abused, aristocracy would work perfect as a social system'. with your logic, even this is possible. so why not reinstate aristocracy
maybe repeating this like a machine will get it to you : patents can NOT work. dont try to make a faulty mechanism work through excessive effort.
Pay up, or burn up. its that simple .............. yea, really. its that simple. dont come up with shitty rationalizations and excuses. it is what it is.
