I just hope they don't farm out making the batteries to the same company that makes them for Apple and Dell. A tank full of combustible liquide seems good compared to that.
You need to learn a lesson: morals go out the window when you have a gun to your head. I don't care if it was lime wire, the pope, mao or the man on the moon - they are FIGHTING the RIAA. Remember WWII: enemies joined to fight a bigger one nobody liked. The case is the same. You can get back to your petty in-fighting when the RIAA is defeated. Until then, happily take the help you can get, or you will end up in the same failure boat the Soviet Union ended up in.
I'm sorry, you have it backwards. What does our country stand for? Freedom? That's what so many "patriots" say it stands for, and say they fight for. Yet, here you are, saying someone caring about their freedom is "destroying our country".
If the country is built on freedom, and you wish to give that away, YOU are "destroying our country", not those who want to protect what it stands for. It's easy to protect a body of power, it's hard to protect it's ideals.
I personally AM ashamed my own country, because of people willing to say what you just did. Those who brush aside what the country stands for and support it blindly. There are a few countries in history that did that... they all ended up getting invaded, falling in on themselves or getting nuked.
So while you sit their on your blind support, the country you "love" is being distorted into the thing you "hate", and you are here whining about us. I see a logical error.
Ignore it, feel free to build on the works of others, and we might climb out of the stone age for real.
Real easy to say, until you get sued and have all your hopes taken from you for doing so. Maybe I am a heartless bastard for it, but I don't *CARE* what could be happening to someone else that maybe the "worst possible thing". News flash: people always have and always will do nasty things to each other.
I know copyright affects me and many others negatively. It IS an issue, no matter how much you call it a "corporate issue". It stops being a "corporate issue" when it causes me direct problems, and become MY problem.
So you may no longer care, and maybe as happy as a pig in mud, but I cannot close my eyes and yell "LA-LA-LA-LA-LA I DON'T HEAR YOU". The end result is, even if it doesn't hurt you now, if you let it, it sure as hell is going to.
What then is the difference between Microsoft and Open Source? Only a few hundred thousand dollars.
No, there is far more then that. When something Microsoft has an error it takes you to a blue screen full of error messages. When Open Source has an error it takes you to a white screen with a flashing underline. See?
We all know how pro-copyright people NEVER use words in ways they don't apply to make their ideals seem valid to the unknowing...... that would be stealing the idea off other people....
If I am right, children are allowed to drink any time with their perents permission. So I would guess that law is an attempt to only make drinking at BARS illegal, but would still allow it at home. But don't call me if you get put in jail.
But, the proof you lack is that P2P is really hurting it. It has been as you describe for as long as I can tell. You can't blame an old problem on a new event.
I think I speak for most people here when I say: if I seen the ad, I would have sent in some furry yiff as my "image" along with a lot of bogus info. I would bet 90% of those emails are just SPAM...

*Woosh* What was that? The sound of a joke flying by?
A true geek's sofa would be made out of cardboard, tin cans and packing peanuts. ;)
A true geek would move the sofa. ;)
Yeah, but with all the dupe posts... I couldn't think of a better joke. So sue me. :P

Move to a hick town where "they dun' like them lawyers"?
Ahh but they didn't all Palpatine king, did they? ;)

Number 891224 has expressed a dislike of Emperor Bush, incident reported to FBI and Homeland Security.
Isn't the man the one we want to bring down? ;)
The GPL is about keeping code free. The RIAA, is not.
Damn software pirates stealing data!!!!1!111!11one
You can really tell, too.
Better then saying the end justifies the means, like we do today.

I agree, since it doesn't take being a kid to be obnoxious anyway. I love the people who can't sit down... up, down, up, down....
