I would give you mod points for this truism. However, the rest of your comment is a simply a screed that is not true (because the US, UK, Canada and Australia are about the only places making quality English programing. Europe waits a lot longer for the US stuff (if you ignore the Pirate bay) and they have a different dvd set. So no points for you.

Or it could mean 'Netflix adds wooden window covers to its Public API' I think that would be some much more interesting than closing, don't you? http://www.homedepot.com/b/Doo...

And shuts them down in five years. (shall I list examples?)

A sane society would have a 14 yr copyright, a president and congress who actually listen to the masses and only serve 4 or six yrs, a Bruce jenner who never married Kris Kardashian because told him it would be his worst mistake ever, a childless Pattie Mallette, a RIAA that served its artists giving them 80% of the money an album earned and didn't attack the people who shared it, muslims and jews who didn't hate each other, women, gays and want to explode themselves in crowded places, a US that didnt spill foreign blood someone in the world every decade for the last 120 yrs and a Microsoft who actually listens and didnt shove metro into 8 or kill xp because it wants too. But back to the topic. No, stripping the copyright from any book that is not currently available digitally, if the copyright holder (supposing the copyright holder can even be found) has no plans to make it available digitally in the next year, and revert it to the public domain would deprive certain authors (example Harlan Ellison and Ursula K. Le Guin ). You want an actual example of this? http://wellpreparedmind.wordpr... its happened in france. Damn those they couldn't find. Me, I am a writer. I want copyright fixed but I don't want my choice taken away either. However, I am in support of this scanning. As for the D&D, well they deserved to be screwed.

I think you lost your point somewhere. So are you upset about all this or not. Me, I am fully in support of OCR getting a LOT more powerful, and Captcha's are going to become useless. I am also in support of scanning and making the info from the scan available like searching Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and it reveals that, "yes, the words OFF WITH HER HEAD" appear, and appear on page 78. However, I seriously doubt we will end up with an entire book of those stupid wavy words and superimposed squiggles because Captcha's are going to become useless. (yes I used your terms in my comment because you had valid points you just rambled too much.

So your diss suggests you are homophobic. Please next time reveal yourself so your wisdom can be applied to yourself as well.

Marketing doesn't need 15%. People hate commercials. So the companies are pissing that money away. Move all of it but 1% to R&D or legacy and shock you are actually serving the public as opposed to collecting money for the company. Also raw materials is overpriced but that is a different argument.

I would love for Google to delist them. From everything. I love it if they didn't come on Maps or any android app that google maintains. Then see how long that ban lasts.

then do what I did. If you really loved the functionality and add-ons of pre 29 move to Pale moon. Its works.

According to the AC above, apparently he is. I will miss Slashdot when it goes to the dark side (ie beta).

Thats because Epinephrine is used to stop anaphylactic shock. There are rescue inhalers that do the same now. You just need a prescription.

Didn't you hear? Glenn Beck IS builting Galt's Gulch.

So you want to steal from the people who earned those pensions because the road is bad. That's not those people's fault. Its yours for either not voting at all or voting for the right person.

Um Somalia has a effective Government. tribal dictatorship
