Since the Depression in the 30s, laissez-faire is not something anybody would ever publicly push again. Witness the New Deal laws being passed without question!

Isn't it time to face the fact that the spammers don't care about the legality of their actions?
It isn't about them repenting for their crimes and hanging their heads and all, it's about, people suing declared spammers and companies producing contraband (bulk-emailers).
And boy, there are a lot. Yeah, it wouldn't cut all the spam, and traffic would come back soon, but we'd get some. Isn't that what this is about? Revenge and retribution?
Then you wouldn't need the battery. Kevlar's not exactly breathy light stuff to wear. It's heavy. You'll sweat. And it's not something wind goes through.
Look, I dislike the DMCA as much as the next guy, though I'm not an American. I like blizzard's games. I buy them for enjoyment. So, as cartman would say, "Screw you."
Linux exists as it is today because we have designed it for our own use, not for Aunt Tillie.
And THAT, I believe, is it's selling point.
Linux is like using a stick shift here in the U.S. where automatics are easier to find: it's for us control freaks. It's powerful. It gives you full control.
This is the cool part. Wanna-be 1337 h4x0r 15 year-olds (that's me!) will love being able to mess with everything.
I'm loving my Mandrake Linux, except for the problem that it's kinda buggy. I mean, RPMs really suck on it. Maybe I should get red hat.
The industry works as follows: they make a game, and sell it on the premise that you'll play multiplayer, where they shall sell ads and get money for maintenance.
And then someone comes along and makes it possible to multiplay circumventing their mechanism.
Please, tell me why they should not be able to say that you cannot use their product in a way it was not projected, sold, marketed to be? I know you can do whatever you want with your things, cause you bought them, but that's just not fair to blizzard, guys who make great games.
Reeeeeally? Self-powered? This is why they needed a friggin catapult?
How would the rest of the categories be any different from Alberto Santos-Dumont, the Brazilian working in France who built a self-powered monoplane that was ages past the Kitty Hawk? Milestone, indeed.
Glad to know people still go to Brazil, but the aviation museum (his house) is in Petropolis, not Belo Horizonte. I assume we're talking about the same museum? The one with the staircase that's made of half-steps?
And Santos Dumont was a Brazilian. In fact, we Brazilians have never heard of these Wright guys. I hadn't till I moved to the U.S.
Granted, Santos Dumont built and flew the BIS-14 in France. But the domestic (not international) airport in Rio is the Santos Dumont, (always full of traffic from the damned taxis) his house is a museum in Petropolis, etc.
Don't trust the French: Alberto Santos-Dumont is Brazilian. And we're damned proud of him. He is considered the father of aviation in Brazil, and the French claim him as theirs since he built and flew the BIS-14 in Paris. BTW, I've been to his house in Petropolis, Brazil. Awesome staicase. Hehe, instead of full steps it has left or right platforms, so you walk up like that.
They used a jeep to pull it. The first self-propelled, self-take-offing airplane was Alberto Santos Dumont's BIS-14.
He is recognized as th father of aviation in many countries, especially France and his native Brazil. (Where we have never heard of the Wright brothers. In fact, I wouldn't learn about them until I moved to the U.S. from Brazil.)

My brother has both dark and light ones.
Say I wanna make a game, that I'm Blizzard. I want X. If I can't enforce X, I won't make the game. And we, gamers, don't want that.
All I really care is that they're happy, so in turn I'm happy with their games.
Ha, like that would stop me from buying Warcraft 3!
Probably just enough from the ads on the top to pay for maintenance.

Wait, what was that? The sound of a.......

Seriously, though, slashdot posters are so ignorant sometimes.
"Oh, boy, a company that codes to put bread on the table isn't allowing people to emulate their software! Gosh, I'll boycott them now!"
Jeez.

He was a hell of an inventor.

Yeah, but Fox can't give that slot up. Why? Because Malcom In The Middle kicks ass, thats why. Did you SEE the last episode?
