Because it was safer for the rest of Naboo to have him off the planet.
Yeah, instead PSS just says "I don't know when the devs will have a fix for this issue..." then *crickets*.
Glad we pay MS all that money for SA!
And IBM was raking it in because both sides were using their machines to do this.
Civil suit means the lawyers get shit tons of money and the defrauded consumers are given a check for $20 towards another replacement air bag, so they still lose.
One could argue that civilized people don't imprison people for extended periods of time. One could also argue that civilized people don't imprison people at all. So what do you do with someone who is hellbent on killing everyone?
I vote for exile by trebuchet.
Is Madagascar shut down yet?
This just shows that FOSS fanatics are maniacs in real life too, and can't be trusted. I mean come on, you put your business into hands of these maniacs? Maniacs!
Just like every corporation is run by the likes of Kenneth Lay and Bernie Madoff.
Is there really a need for the suits in the first place? For extra vehicular missions sure, but not all flights would have them and nor would all occupants need them? How many times have there been situations that the suit prevented injury or the lost of life? I don't call myself a Space historian, but from my recollection, having space suit did not help Apollo 1, Challenger or Columbia astronauts escape from their emergencies, nor were the Apollo 13 astronauts saved by theirs. Or is it really there to provide a false sense of security?
Last I checked, YouTube doesn't try to extort $20000 from content owners that do choose to submit DMCA takedowns either.
Don't worry every site you visit will be sent to Microsoft so they can follow up with each site and make sure they are following DNT correctly.

The police don't bother with the central traffic control, they just flip their lights on to make all the lights turn green for them.
I figure it means Krispy Kreme just turned on their sign.
The "DRM Infrastructure" is trivial for authors and publishers, I'd not dare to call it "Infrastructure" at all. Also, costs are usually insignificant: you usually protect an entire work, not individual copies.
Yes, the costs are so trivial that Wal-mart, Microsoft, and Yahoo all tried to shut down their DRM servers and only caved to the backlash, with no promises that they would remain on forever. If the costs are so trivial, then why bother with shuttering the services?
That is the fault whomever made the decision to use Gentoo. Gentoo has never been a good solution for long term support. Gentoo is about as bleeding-edge as distros get and old versions of software tend to drop off very fast. If you stability, then go with Debian.
If the government wants to kick in your door to frame you as a terrorist one morning, they are not going to the Census Bureau to find out that you answered that your leave your house at 7:15 every morning. More likely they will notice that your credit card data tells them you stop to buy a coffee from a Starbucks a few blocks away every morning at 7:20 and infer they should kick down your door before that.
You forget Wal-mart and Target likely know more about you than the government does and they do not have a 72-year confidentiality clause.
