Kids also love to convince others, though they prefer grand declarations, foot stomping, and cries to achieve that. You didn't really think that through, did you?
Which brings me to my second point. Look, homo sum humani a me nihil alienum puto, but just because YOU can't understand something does mean OTHERS must be stupid.
Are you being silly? The reason it's called copyright is because it deals with making copies of the original work.
Lending/re-sale: If you give your CD to a friend you can no longer listed to it yourself. If you want a second copy, to listen to at the same time as your friend, one of you has to pay for it. Where it becomes wrong is when you copy the CD, keep the original, and give out the copies to your "friends"
Library: If one patron has the CD checked out, nobody else can listen to it until she returns it! Library pays for each single copy of the CD they have on their shelves. If the record is too popular and thousands more wish to check it out, the library will buy extra copies...
This from a 'mature' guy that advocates murder of vegetarians?
I admit, folks, it's all my fault! I did not read the memo:
The record companies are the real thiefs. They steal your money by not giving you all the music away for free! You deserve the fruits of their work for free because it's YOU.
After all, if they didn't want you to have their music for free, they shouldn't have made it so much fun to listen to!
So what's the problem? Start with a scan of your papers of some sort (passport, drivers license, birth certificate?).
It goes without saying that I will not use these to harm you. I just need a copy in case I have to get the hell outta this country (some bad shit going down here lately).
Or are you saying that it's only other people's information that you don't value?
The reason for the high damages is probably punitive, and to scare others into behaving. The owners cannot sue millions of people for the $2 each that they probably stole, so they sue a few for the $200,000 and make an example out of them.
No, it not fair to the few people sued, but yes, that's exactly how the deterrence part of our judicial system works right now.
Please provide us with your social security number (if any), date of birth, digital photograph, digital fingerprints, and high-res scans of your birth certificate, scans of any diplomas or awards you have received. Remember to include the photos of your wife, childred, and pets in the nude.
But but but... Yes, all of these can be shared in the same way that music or any form of data can be. Get the point now, hippie?
Notice how the exam average is 98/240, yet I guarantee that about 90% of the students got an A/A- on their transcript.
This is part of the reason that a science degree from a "top" school means shit these days. That, and the fact that you could get a Biochem degree from a place like that with just three mandatory wet-lab courses.
Not just address. You get things like browser id, accept formats, OS, and a bunch of other stuff that, taken together, is pretty unique to the system. It could be simple things such as email traffic, or those 5 tabs that auto-load all at once whenever you start your browser.
If you are not a super-secretive computer freak, then just by looking at your TCPIP traffic in toto I can tell exactly who you are. And even if you are a paranoid privacy nut, I still can tell who you are based on how you are probably the only person in your neighborhood that has 5 concurrent ssh streams or port 80 traffic to non-web hosts, or whatever.
The phone guy was still on the clock, probably. If you are too efficient, they just assign you more work (without a more pay). And most customers are just plain dicks that vent anger on you mistaking you for a CEO, instead of offering you a beer or a blowjob.
So, the guy dug up some wire, and still got his $7.50/hr paycheck, and a cold one after work with that recycling cash.
No, not all packets cost the same: if you have a peering agreement with some network, or if the packets come from within your own network, then those packets cost you much less than other 'normal' packets.
If the providers have to pay different rates based on the origin, it's only fair to pass that on to consumers... What's wrong with dividing up the traffic into different tariff zones, and billing each one differently (or shaping them differently in lieu of variable pricing).
YOu are forgetting that CA is a liberal state, which means they pay something like $60+ mandatory recycling fee on a computer (CPU+monitor)...
Which means that the crackhead is billing the schools at least $60 per each piece of junk he 'fixes.' This has to be paid even if the school is unhappy with the computer and wants to get rid of it!
Oh, there are lots of ways to generate revenue. How about a banner in your taskbar while the app is open or in-call, and a non-maskable 10 second popup at the end of the call? Plus require the users to subscribe to spam with a valid email address?
Also, they can make things like call history, and adress book to be premium features and charge money for that. Also, limit the call quality for non-subscribers to 11 kbps or so, and no limit for the premium payers.
Also, they should come up with better pay-per-use features such as cell-phone notifications of missed calls, text messaging alerts and whatnot. If ATT/Verizon can charge $0.99 for a stupid 160x160 picture, maybe Skype could also target webtooies with special skins and 'ringtones' for their windows app?
I don't think you are correct. You are probably thinking of MX-774 which was never sucessfully launched; the first real launch was Atlas A in 1957 around the same time as the Soviet R-7. Moreover, it was used for both military and civilian purposes.
Windows cannot find 's/RTFA/TFA/'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search. {OK}

So if I steal your computer or your cannabis, and then "share" them with my friends, would you still object?
Sharing is caring, right?
I don't know about that. Someone like that goatse guy just had to have been using some of that lidocaine stuff.
Overall, this new capsaicin/lidocaine EthBr mixture could be good news for the guys that enjoy disco dancing, archery, rape, and table tennis.
No, not if they still want to get that Medal of Freedom.
I am not disagreeing with you. I merely pointed out that the GP was a bigot (the dude wanted affirmative action for the whites only)

To use your analogy, I think the ISPs could give low-def signal for all channels, and high-def for only those that pay for it!

Fuck gorillas. What have they ever done for us except giving us AIDS?
Your "grown up" OS cannot do XCreateWindow and XRaiseWindow? Must be some fucked up OS.

How can you trust that guy if he came here to steal all those American jerbs?
Just think how many were laid off at Microsoft alone?

So, we need a new enemy, foreign or domestic, right? All the more reason to vote for Billary/Osama in 2008!
And yet the other day you bitched about that nice Negro boy getting his affirmative action scholarship...
At best, they only get the same incentives as the Americans. How is that leaving our people behind?
