They will file lawsuits against those who steal the code... I know, we need a sort of DRM for open source. Maybe we could, like, make the code less understandable and viewable with a disassembler or something. That would show them. Oh wait, that's what a compiler does...:P
I'm British and sometimes I grumble about American policy and cultural elements like everyone else. Really though I think I like the place and respect a lot of what it stands for. It's really good to see honest patriotism without all the hoo-rah flag waving and "we're number one" philosophy. Thanks for the post.
Also the current population of America is 300 million. In order to steal $100 billion, each man woman and child would need to download $333 worth of stuff.
Infact the CIA estimates that there are 205,327,000 internet users in the US. So if every one of those is a dirty little pirate, the total is more like $487 each. This looks like filthy lies to me.
it does show clearly how the governments around the world manipulate public opinion in an alarming way to get to an endpoint they desire.
But what I can't understand is why they want to get this endpoint in the first place. Why does the state need so much control when it can so easily be voted out within 4 years? It just doesn't make any sense.
I think really we should be switching to riddles instead of captchas. "What walks on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon and four in the evening?"
This is similar to the monthly bandwith limits in the UK. You see it less often now as people have voted with their feet and moved to unlimited providers. There's always a good economic niche for doing what the majority of people want you to.

News from CEOs, stuff that flatters.
I know, why don't we call it Shared Source...

One word: Bandwidth.
It is very, very, very unlikely that someone is going to commit murder. It is very, very, very likely that someone is going to have sex.
It trying to make a correlation between likelihood and morality. Cancel or allow?
Also smoking is not permitted anywhere on board.
Yep, the 240-mile-high club is pretty exclusive.

I'm not sure games transfer that well to the screen at all.
"Drop down! Increase Speed! Reverse Direction!"
Space Invaders has a great four note soundtrack. Rockin'.
I can only talk for 40 minutes you insensitive clod!
What does that matter? He was talking about this one in particular.

dad's outright hostile about cable companies.
Smart man. I think I'd like him.
I just re-discovered reading recently after a trip away. Its more rewarding in lot ways than just surfing.
Is a dialysis machine considered a gadget?
Think of it as a doohickey.
Encrypted data is just as easy to profile as unencrypted.
U p.avi. Whoops.
I think he forgot to rename the file after encryption. It's still Big.Block.Buster.PROPER.DVD-SCREENER.XViD-l33tGrO

Then why bother commenting at all? No-one asked you personally. Slashdot is a big place after all.
It's always the same.
"No, there won't be a bigger a hard disk."
"No, we don't need HDMI."
Everyone knows there will be a price cut before Christmas so why all the drama and denial?

That will sort the men from the bots.

Fear me for I am the Linux Cannibal. :)
Haha. That's hilarious. I almost spat my coffee out.
Let's say the Orion was damaged too. Then what?
