And it really doesn't matter. If it's not a derivative work, the original Copyright wouldn't apply, either.
If Copyright applies, GPL would apply. If Copyright doesn't apply, GPL is pretty much irrelevant, anyway.
Ok; but it could AT THE VERY LEAST resume interrupted downloads and let you pause them.
I mean, you can defend the "no background downloading" thing, but what's the defense for not being able to resume interrupted downloads? Let's go back in time to what the Internet was like in 1995, folks!
Also, I had desktop computers a lot less powerful than PSPs, that were capable of background downloading while playing single-player games. What makes you think you need a dedicated CPU core to *download a file*, of all things?
in the us tax is not part of the price in the uk and others places it is.
I have one. The stylus input device works quite well for drawing, but the UI sucks. There's not even a delete function.
The erase function only works with Apple's special stylus that features a carbon-based tip. And *then* you have to fork out more for the "erase" tool itself.
What a load of lock-in crap.
Some people are even complaining that the carbon styluses appear to be wearing down after a relatively short time.
P.S.
I spent all morning going over a set of engineering drawings with a red pen, circling misspelled words and text that overlapped other text or parts of the drawings. I ended up dog-earing 16 pages of a 35-page document. Thus, my pedantry was already running full-tilt, and I'm pretty sure this partly explains why I got carried away.
I'd be tempted to say there's a good half of the west that doesn't have this luxurious blindspot America has. If anything big we to happen, they were on the frontline. Casualty previsions from the cold war in European countries basically ran in the high 80% range, and I'm pretty sure most major powers (India, China, Japan, the Soviets) in Eurasia had pretty similar things - sure, there's probably some of it in what are considered "side conflicts", but that blind spot is something you can't afford to have when you're not sitting an ocean away from where the shit will inevitably hit the fan.
You sort of missed what AC was implying.
In MS-DOS, since it has current directories per drive, I can do this:
c:\>cd nudiepics
c:\nudiepics>a:
a:\>cd nudiepics
a:\nudiepics>dir
a:\nudiepics>move a_*.jpg c:
a:\nudiepics>move b_*.jpg c:
Well, I could if I had such a folder as c:\nudiepics.
I don't have to type the full path both times – it knows drive c's current directory, and I only have to set it once.
