"Artisinal mining"? O.o

I'm impressed that easily available resources on the internet is sufficient for anyone to build a house. I wonder if the article would see the same kind of comments if it was a man...

Sounds like a great stand up act, I wonder why I haven't seen him on netflix with any other of his sketches

We don't need more producers - but we still need the consumption

Ever heard about algebra?

Fujitsu PalmSecure is rather straightforward. Scans your palm veins using IR, which means a reasonable chance to scan through gloves and other material

If they were to take the song note by note and making a new ensamble then yes, you're correct - but he has definitive non-negotiable copyright claim on his own recording of the cower - which they allegedly used.

It's definitely stealing - though not as in theft (i.e. larsony). It's completely inane to make this yet another slashdot anti-RIAA-related topic when the initial topic carries none of those attributes.

They use satellite which is rather ridiculously expensive, especially compared to say 3G hardware.

extradition from sweden as per european law would require that england (a far stauncher ally of usa) to agree. Extradition to sweden would thus decrease his chances of extradition.

We actually had this some ago in sweden once, but it failed to catch on for the general population and was discontinued. Technology is not always the answer for everything, though it'll be interesting to see how this will fare this time around.

Check out proxy over dns. The dns is usually not as heavily filtered as the rest. It's not as fast (and you would need a computer you can connect to from outside, but it won't be subject to the same limitations).

If you mean the guidelines then no. There is no mentioning of rebates. The following is a excerpt from apple's third party promotion guidelines as of the date my posting.

It simply says that you may buy your promotional material from any authorized source. A cursory glance of http://www.apple.com/buy reveals nothing. There is rebates mentioned on this site however, which might have been what you presumed was related to this, however they are for mail in rebates and so forth offered by apple themselves.

... Free speech is the cornerstone of democracy, but that does not mean that wikipedia must suffer. If the only thing they need was identification to block someone from editing, would that really be infringing on your freedom of speech? Freedom of speech means your right to say whatever you want without censorship, it does not mean you are free from the effects of your speech nor that your speech won't have any repercussions. There is moderation in democracies as well as on the web, after all - otherwise everyone would be free to spread racial slurs, hate speech and so forth. Luckily, this is not the case.

If all men were born equal and all software free...
It has been done before, and it will be done again, palms turning into robots, monitors into aquariums.

One might ask why?
Why are we all here?
for the computers?
for ourselfs?

Neither, the answer is: we are here to make the time we spend here count, why be a lamer spending time playing games on a M$ computer, or games without purpouse for that either.

Heck, if one makes linux on handhelds one could surely build a distrubition which includes all of it in a sleek design, and only having small clean coded apps for the different machines.

One way to make it legal would be to have it plug in based, and in some strange way leaking the "illegal" plug-ins on the net, with no warranty, (but with some community sense..)

no company behind, no single names, only the group.

Well, thats it for today
