Do you have a suggestion for a non half-assed solution to prevent copyright infringement?
Yeah, it's called a Reality Check.
Big Media is still laughing all the way to the bank even though their shit's all over the internet in torrents. Stop wasting billions in a futile fight against it and make something decent to watch instead of televised karaoke. Who knows, people might actually pay for it.
And perhaps a warning to developers anywhere that want to someday make money off of their products: *Don't use the GPL* or anything remotely related.
Don't use anything licensed to you under copyright law free of charge? You expect people to make more money by paying ridiculous licensing and redistribution fees or writing all their code in-house?
if copyright were limited to 2 years, then Linux 2.6.15 would be in the public domain by now and anyone could put it into any product they wanted without giving back to the people that created it.
A lot more problems would be solved than created if copyright was made that short. Having binary blobs everywhere with no source wouldn't be a problem - we'd just have increasingly better reverse-engineering and decompiling tools, and they'd be fully legal to use on this stuff.
Funny thing that... my cassette Walkman already has a volume limiter on it. With it, maximum volume is barely audible and without it maximum volume will probably make you go deaf in 2 minutes. Since it's an electronic model, it helpfully forgets the "on" setting if you change the batteries.
I too once thought this way. Then one day I realised: "Holy fuck, I've got half a gig of RAM and a SSE2 CPU and I'm boycotting Qt3 to save what, 20MB?"
The real question is: Would you willingly watch a video of Steve Ballmer wearing only swimming trunks, just to get to watch him plummet head first into a pile of solid metal coins?
This gives you the same advantages as pretty much any other emulator: higher resolution + upscaling, use of more input devices, the ability to save at any point, and having your games on a hard disk instead of needing to go through an entire shelf of physical media boxes to find what you're looking for. Oh and using it as a development environment for homebrew, I guess.
Of course most people are dicks and just use it for the free warez.

All the stories I've heard seem to point to America having already achieved this without a national health scheme.
Do you really NEED IPv6-capable PXE? What's wrong with keeping IPv4 on your LAN, the same as Windows 7 still does with NetBIOS?
is shocking, abusive and insulting to our belief that all sets are of only one item
Did you just blaspheme against your own religion!?
You might've been interested in eglibc instead, which supposedly fixes all the interdependency crap so you can compile it out.
He has produced the most popular, most advanced phone on the planet.
Do you have actual evidence to support these two statements? Just about everything else I've read shows it falling far short of either.

It's Verizon we're talking about. He's probably pointing to the bonesaw.
I know ISPs will fuck with your bandwidth, but...
Actually, lag injection doesn't sound that far-fetched given the quality of most ISPs.

You are an imbecile.

Wouldn't that be GINGAM?
Nah, "Gnome is NOt gnu any MorE" would still fit.
Its kind of absurd when you think about it. Copying Microsoft's stuff will only make Gnome more like WINE, only less popular.
It wouldn't be that absurd, what with the bits of windows it's already cloned (gconf and pulseaudio, for example).
Kind of ironic considering that in terms of appearance KDE is actually the more windows-ish one right now and Gnome is closer to OS X.
They could make it "GTK+ Network Object Model Environment".
That'd make the full expansion of the name, minus recursion:
*drumroll*
"GNU's Not Unix! Image Manipulation Program Tool Kit+ Network Object Model Environment"
They do exist, it's just that someone bought all 10 of them and tried to sell them on eBay for 5x the price

You don't realise how much copy-pasting you do until you use the Windows command prompt, which doesn't even support ctrl+v.
Why are you using Debian and expecting zero-day release packages?
Uh, what? You're saying Thunderbird is wrong because it's not a common server application in a corporate environment?
Instead of whining about a free app that doesn't cater to your esoteric intranet setup, you could just try the damn thing.
I googled for that error message btw:
Three of those are a SEO spam site quoting your own post, and one is expert sexchange. You sound like a hypochondriac.
SS2 runs fine on current OSes.

entry-level Wintel PCs can't display on an SDTV without a $40 adapter.
They usually can't display anything at all without that $40 adapter.
They will support it or find out the segment of their users hooked on GMail will suddenly desert them one day.
You're posting on a site that doesn't render correctly on IE6. Your points are invalid and you are a moron.
