All those communities with houses older than dirt itself, and water and electrical systems that are ancient, simply have all the east coast stay with relatives in the west coast and then nuke it and then you can rebuild the electrical infrastructure and never worry about blackouts again! Until another couple hundred years...

Yeah that makes sense, if I am big into Linux and Open Source would that make me a carnie?

Easy buddy, everyone is entitled to an opinion.

If this is so it will not last long, AT&T will make sure of that in the States.

Thanks

Isn't there something to be said about giving them an inch they'll take a mile? Precedence is falled back on all the time to move different agendas forward.

The thing is, is that Apple is really polished and really well marketed, no company can seem to get both of those right at the same time, much more so it seems that no company can get either one right...

It's all about the Linux!

I really would not encourage a sneak attack, people need to know that Linux rocks and very hardcore like!

I like to play games really quick on the computer that do not require me being connected to the internet, so if i take my laptop somewhere and I can't connect I can still play the game.

Apple has to be in control of EVERYTHING, which I must admit gives them a great opportunity to make some great stuff, but the iPhone OS is a platform and I think that it should be allowed to create apps for it, also it would be a Godsend if someone made it so you could drag and drop and get rid of iTunes.

I am writing a paper for a class at my university and the thesis basically says that Piracy will help in the democratic process of media consumption, the teacher told me that I could not convince her that stealing is okay, and I that got me thinking, while it is stealing, my first reactions are 1. They got much more money than they'll ever need, 2. The artist makes about 2% of those overall sales and most artist have to live off of concerts and t-shirt sales. These are the common fallbacks, but I think we will have to look deeper if we are gonna make it less punishable to pirate media.

I think of times like the Boston tea party, and the signing of the Declaration of Independence (I am in a history class right now) Both were flat out illegal, and both were fought over, attempting to punish what had been done.

Yes it is illegal, yes it is wrong, but so what, I don't think I should pay a lot of money for something that can distributed so quickly and easy with so little overhead, I don't think I should have to pay to be bombarded with marketing and agenda loaded news. Most of all I am sick of all the bands and movies and show that have people saying they are just struggling artist and they are all about the "music" and then they are the opposite of what they sing about.

If my economy thoughts are right, then the market is moving towards services, which I was not happy about at first, but after more thought I believe that more jobs will come about, you could have more local bands covering weddings and birthdays and stuff. Okay now I am just rambling, but I thank people for their replies.

That seems like a lot of work, just tap into the feed that will ever vigilantly keep surveillance on that grave, I think more and more people are becoming aware of the zombie epidemic!

I am not gonna make remarks that are uber pro-piracy, but I will say this about the RIAA, they should have seen this many years ago, they were just stubborn.

The market for blank media was not going to go away, and it was going to be filled with downloaded music, now regardless that it is illegal to download copyrighted material did not slow anyone down. And just like the article mentioned, it only soiled the name of those who tried to stop it, yeah I am talking about how people like Metallica a whole lot less.

Being Pro or Anti piracy aside I do not feel for the RIAA losing money (if in fact they did lose any money, and if that money was a substantial amount) because they blatantly starred the changing times in the face ignored all possible opportunities it could have afforded them, and now, just like the banks and the auto industry they will cry about how the oldschool ways don't work anymore.

I am glad that hard drives and blank CD's and DVD's are so cheap now a days!

Linux can be ported to many devices and run emulators that is all I need for the moment, of course I will always want more.
