Id expand upon your point Transbot9 and say that all fanart(to some degree, even the badly made) acts as a free advertisement. Hell goto any deviantart page, you have a fairly good chance of seeing something thats "fanart" based, and generally of something you've never seen before.
If it looks interesting wouldnt you want to look up more information?
Before i became a programmer i worked as a chef for a long time, and the amount of recipies i saw when i moved to a new area, suddenly spring up in competing restaurants was at first surprising.
But its not the recipe that makes the difference, its the damn chefs(or in this case the cooks). Anyone can make a nice dough that prooves well and bakes quickly with a nice texture, its the quality and standards of making that dough, and the quality of your ingredients, cleanliness of your kitchen that makes the difference.
And suing over a recipe, damn i should have thought of that, i could have skipped programming and retired :P
Hmm well my fiancee's birthday is coming up soon, should i send them a cheque now - for performance of course(were going todo a badly sung cover version) - but their work is important, and i cannot condone artists losing income from me being a dirty pirate.

"Well the PTC does have a point. If you are too busy/ignorant/uncaring to raise your children and let the TV raise them instead, they are going to grow up with potty mouths"
If your any of the above you should not have children! Thats the reason me and my fiancee arnt considering children, were both way too busy with our professions to give a child the time they need.
As for why would they want wi-fi locations when their allready advertised? Well google was working on a public transport timing map to intergrate into their mapping software(not sure if its finished yet). That info's available elsewhere, but it would be nice to have it intergrated.
Why all the whining? Really its not that important, as pointed out, they could get the passwords other ways. Everyone knows they sell marketing information, thats no reason to shout "omg google has wifi information!".
I think too many people are having way to much caffeine in their drinks today
I think that was the Mike Masnick version of a (what do you americans call it?) oh yeah, smackdown :P
And on a side note, this threads gotta be getting to some sort of record by now. Mike you ever get the feeling some people just dont have any reading comprehension?
a) person a created a bot to automaticly trade for them
b) person b noticed the bot was making trades as intended
c) person b setup trades based on that machines trading
isnt person b doing what person a's bot is doing? Trading based off a pre-set of stimuli? Shouldnt the fault lay with the programmer of the bot?
Makes me wonder what the stock market is for, if your not allowed to trade on patterns.
Illegal porn in australia is anything with an RC rating(refused classification) - or just not even classified.
How they think their going to enforce this is beyond me, but hey, im going to japan in a few months, my trip backs going to be interesting! (especially as were taking 3 laptops with us).
Wonder if that includes declaring whats on my external HD's too? backup dvd's/blu rays/flash drives? I think im going to have to ask them for bigger forms :P
Oh and what actually classified as RC, im not 100% sure lol.
