Does that make the copyright lobbyists Don Quixote?

Well Wikileaks didn't have copyright infringement claims against it and it has suffered massive blows to funding and traffic.

TPB exists because people care about it. People care about it because it provides something relevant to them.

It was for racial purity. At the time eugenics was a big deal, it stated that some genes which were exhibited as external traits were superior. Hitler was attempting to create a better world by performing artificial selection.

As much as his ideas and methods were bonkers and would never work the fact that humans have stopped evolving naturally is something that some people still want to change.

To the poster below me: he is selling $2500 machines. The people he sells the machines to sell the $.25 napkins but the machine can make 1000 napkins a day. One machine properly worked could turn a gross profit of $91,250/year. He has sold 600 machines so far so that is $1.5 million that the inventor has grossed.

Maybe they aren't super rich but I am sure the napkin makers and the inventor are both doing better then they would otherwise and more importantly they are keeping the money in India.

> The western world can afford high-tech solutions to clean up water, but the developing world cannot.

You might be surprised what the developing world can put together with electricity and a foot pedal.

Well there are also people like Jonathan Coulton (the guy who sings "code monkey") who started with nothing and built a fan base. Also he did the ending song for both Portal games.

I am not sure what Google pays in dues but I am willing to bet it is in excess of $100,000 and probably closer to somewhere in 10 digit range. That is a financial blow that would put pressure on them to stop alienating progressive businesses.

I remember hearing an anecdote many years ago that when food supplies where being dropped over Afghanistan it was the pop-tarts and peanut-butter that were the most popular.

I just looked into it and I the only information on their popularity I could find was that they are often sold on black-markets. Source: http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2011/10/10/stuff_we_do...

alt + f will also skip the song you are on and play the next one.

Sadly, one of the primary reasons that blips will never re-enter the mainstream.

This seems like a very low power way to manage network access to a small cluster of external hard drives.

Dillo would be the smallest but Opera would be the best for features per KB of RAM.

I would personally use Dillo because it just seems more suited to the environment and would fulfill it's purpose (looking up documentation) without crippling the system.

If you wanted to just browse the internet though I think Opera or Chrome would both be good choices. Especially if you used a minimal GUI.

This is how I come up with passwords; I find a phrase that I can remember without too much trouble then I use the first letter of each word to make a password.

Phrase: Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone

Password: 3RftE-kuts,7ftD-lithos

Easy to remember and highly secure. I have been using this method for years.

Bonus example: Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty

Less secure then the last example but still strong. Especially if you use uncommon strings like the words to a song by a local band or a phrase from the newspaper or an unpopular book. That way even an attack targeting this method will take a long long time.

That is what was said. Yes.

I think the reason they used so many colors in their bombastic website is to demonstrate non-typical contrast solutions.

I think it is handled the same as the horizontal scroll on normal mice. Here is a relevant stack overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2842041/jquery-horizontal...

From what I have read System76 is a linux only computer vendor that has very strong hardware support.

Am I missing something? Why can't they just produce a Micro-SD card that can run in card emulation mode? Wouldn't that allow a lot of people to use this without new phones?
