A novel is written on a computer.
The novel exists only on the computer.

The novel is representable as math, for sure.
And the novel must logically be "on the computer."

Is the novel math?

Everything on a computer is NOT math. Everything on a computer is representable as math.

Fixed that for you.

It will make proving 0.10 and 0.08 drunk driving cases a LOT easier.

Sure looks like extortion to me. It looks like enough to take to a jury, even.

Your logic is pretty lame. You're arguing that you can't regulate criminals because they are criminals.

Robotic manufacture is going to go crazy in the next decade and it's going to change everything.

Software is needed to make that shit work. If software patents can make (profitable) roadblocks to 3d implementation, then robotic manufacture is going to go someplace besides the USA.

This is so obvious that even the Supreme Court is going to see it. (Congress might need some 'lobbying' to understand it, though.)

Maybe I'm just pissed off at myself because I was stupid enough to do business with the assholes at Adobe.

Yeah. It's all my fault because Adobe treats its customers badly.

I get it. Yes. I'll vote Republican next year. Thanks for setting me straight and invalidating my feelings.

I've spent a lot of money, and a lot of time learning Adobe products--and this is how that corporation treats me.

I've got to run the numbers, but I think that I am done with Adobe. Microsoft is Jesus compared to them.

Enough said.

I ride my bike. The more car drivers' heads are up, the safer I am. The heck with jerks trying to tout their products at the expense of public safety.

There is a mountain of money to be made in the plans. That's the future. It's just a matter of time.

Only a complete fucking moron would move legal data with torrents.

A lawyer is obligated to preserve his clients' confidences. When you store your information on somebody elses server or servers you are giving up custody and control over some of those confidences. In that situation you are entirely dependent upon the strength of your encryption.

That encryption might be good today or tomorrow, but how good will it be five years from now or ten years from now when quantum computing or the next best thing becomes available for codebreakers.

Don't risk a lawsuit from a pissed client!

Free speech is just an absolute bitch, isn't it? We all approach it in different ways.

The Internet will always be the greatest cookbook that ever existed!

THIS is the "competition" of the free market.

Preserve your public internet!
