The term "stealing" refers to a felony. And yet the practice you are referencing is a civil offense. Ergo, you do not understand "stealing" or the law.

See, when you're 35, you think that careful planning results in security. And in a perfect world, it should. But then there's your daughter with leukemia, and then the divorce, and then your carefully researched hedge fund investment shits the bed, and then your partner splits the business and takes your best clients, and then the housing market collapses, and then you throw out your back making long stints at a desk impossible, and then there was that patent lawsuit that sank your startup.

And so you find yourself at the age of 60, having to listen to some 35 year old douche lecture you about planning.

> " If I want to copyright my apples and sell them for 1 penny in China and $3000 in Canada, why should I have any further control over the people in China realizing my ridiculous pricing?"

Actually, the more compelling question is: Why would citizens of Canada continue to stay in Canada (or any other top-tier priced nation) where they are clearly being en-serfed under such policies.

The evidence is growing that the so-called "First World" is for suckers.

England just jailed a guy for a Facebook post which sexualized Santa Claus.

Now tell me who the religious nutjobs are again?

I think you're in the wrong neighborhood, son.

Spamming Slashdot is a good way to get your site DOS'ed.

Yes but STATISTICALLY speaking, which gender is more likely to stop working at around the age of 30 and never return to work?

Risk bears cost. This is business we're talking about here. Not some utopian society.

Politically incorrect and proud of it.

Releases of new operating systems come with a large number of bugs, and that goes with the territory. In general, users are understanding and patient.

But these seem like alpha level bugs that should have been stomped out ages ago.

1080p displays are hardly unusual or non-standard. This does not bode well...

This news comes ironically as Baldur's Gate is being re-released. It was their finest moment.

Simple question: Why did Chrome's "Do Not Track" feature have to be done in conjunction with the White House and FTC?

Doesn't that tell you everything you need to know already?

Jazan holds the trademark over "Carnival of Souls", and he has a legal obligation to legally defend it or lose it.

It may seem silly to sue review sites, but the legal duty of a trademark holder is to actively defend illegitimate use of the trademark or risk dilution.

It's slightly bewildering how the Pi has such a massive following. There are many other competing devices (many of which have cases and aren't just boards) which cost roughly the same price. And there are devices which are truly open, which the Pi is *not*.

Ultimately it comes down to marketing and PR... and Slashdot.. which loves the Pi.

But clearly you're going to get more bang for your buck with a product built outside the UK, where wages are some of the highest in the world. And you're going to have a hell of an easier time developing for a platform which uses truly open standards.

At realistically attainable speeds, 100 years isn't going to cut it.

COMPLETELY agree with this.

Touch screen-only phones will never make good business phones. When I see business people with iPhones (unless they're developers of course) I tend to think they're not very legitimate business people. If you're writing more than 50 or more emails a day -- you're just not going to use an iPhone.

Blackberry needs to produce thumb-board phones with larger sceens and touch-screen capability for certain apps. They can *still* win this fight IMHO with the right form factor. I'd like to see a taller phone with a full size high def screen and a full thumb-board.

The absolute *wrong* move is to try to beat Apple at Apple's game. A much smarter move would be to laugh at Apple and their "content consumption" design and make a phone for people who are actually doing business with their phones.

This poor deprived soul knows nothing of curly fries.

It's a cool technology, but the iPod shuffle can run for a billion years plugged into a potato. Can we get some actual performance data please?
