Well, Jackson has Lucas to thank for being able to do the movies in the first place.
I would cut Lucas some slack, he is leading the development and introduction of new movie-making technology.
If there weren't a consumer demand for the products he puts out, then nobody would be buying them right? So if people are buying the stuff he produces, then there is a demand and he is doing the right thing in producing them?
We all knew there would be a special edition of Star Wars long before 1997. And we knew there would be a DVD re-release as well, long before it was officially announced. And there will be a Blu-Ray HD release as well in a few years.
So cut Lucas some slack, he is acutally investing the money I (and maybe you) put in his pocket to a great extend in pushing movie-making technology forward. Last I heard, it is not like he is sitting in a palace bathing in his dollar bills and going to fancy-smancy rich people parties, right?
Your network admin and/or upstread provider can already track your Google searches, and everything else you do, as I am sure you don't Google over HTTPS. Privacy down the drain.
It sounds very communistic of you to pull the government card as soon as the private sector's business (patents, copyright) gets in the government's way.
Why should companies respect the government's law if the government see fit to just rip the patent if it gets in the government's way.
Either the government play by the market rules or the government has no reason to exist.
Microsoft has enough money to buy off the patent holder, either by licensing, cross-licensing, buying up all stock and closing down shop, or otherwise acquring the patent.
City of Münich may not have the ability to be able to spend that much of tax payers money on licensing. Neither the open-source developer most likely.
... so that none of the other hundreds of people with your name says they are you. Who in the sane mind uses person names for identification purposes anyway?
Well, contracts that are voluntary are one thing. But there are laws (at least in Europe) that makes it impossible to sign away certain rights and freedoms in contracts.
These HOAs sounds a lot of ghetto building, but the other way around. Ghettos for the rich and white people. Sick.
But talk about spoiling the land by building so many identical houses. A house should be a piece of art, unique from all others. Otherwise residential areas look really bad.

Where are the usual SW bashers?
Shouldn't it be LOTR: Return of the Merchandising with this movie series as well?
Fun that everyone bashes Lucas for his multiple releases but it is quite silent about Jackson.
I believe the more recent term for them would be "illegal combatants". Terrorists have rights to legal hearing and legal help, the former does not.

And neither in Mozilla Suite I suppose?

In the European Union you get two years of warrenty by (consumer) law. So that you don't have to choose what do buy on 90-days versus 1-year.

You call Mandrake and Yellow Dog old, but not Debian stable? :-)
Using LINPACK of course.
The nutrients wasted in I countries could be given to D countries to help their own growing. Nobody is talking about dumping.
You do realize that those trees needs stuff to grow that you could use to grow crops instead and feeding those without food, right?
Didn't you learn anything in elementary school or didn't they teach you all that then?
And then the two groups of agents met over some beers after work and exchanged all the details.
Stop being such an uninformed American Isaac. You know better.

Well, looks like it was FreeBSD before.
It's a dupe.
Ok.

Private Property. Trespassing On Your Own Risk.
How come that in _free_ USA you are not allowed to do what you want on your own property? Sounds a lot like USSR to me...
Any websites/webshops to recommend?
