I just got FreeBSD to play nice with my network card on my mobo (Asus A8N-VM CSM) last night after going with 7.0-CURRENT. It took me the entire weekend and about 5 installs of 6.1 i386 and amd64, but it finally worked. If you're coming from Linux, you might find that hardware support is less complete, but you still have good chances, and FreeBSD is way happier with my SATA drive than Linux was.
I would assume it has the same meaning as "Locks only keep honest people honest." or "Take away honest citizens weapons and only criminals will have weapons." DRM is instantly circumvented the minute it comes out, so the real pirates, the ones that sell thousands of copies of a movie, album, software, etc., can well pirate the content and profit greatly without the artist getting compensation. The "profit pirates" are ruining it for everyone.
"#11: The true enemy is the line: %u201CIf you haven%u2019t done anything wrong, what do you fear?%u201D"Does anyone have a concise rebuttal to that line? The explanation the author gave doesn't have the same effect as "The coin has no memory." to the Gambler's Fallacy, or "Don't hate, appreciate." to all the haters out there :PThe only thing I got is "Well if deer have nothing to hide, why do they fear hunters?" but it's a bit verbose. Any suggestions?

On the other hand, the whole point of this list is about making your thoughts known and publically standing up for certain values. So, in this case if someone finds out that I gave it a Digg, then I'm proud to own up to it. But I'm already pretty verbal about my belief in freedom, so it wouldn't surprise anyone. :o)

He does not speak for me. I speak for myself. I find his list lame. Some of it is good, some of it redundant, some just stupid.

No, the music companies are ruining it for everything. The "profit pirates" are just ruining it for the music companies.

It's because Disney managed to keep old cartoons, like "Steamboat Willie", from going Public Domain a while back.
