    Let me get this straight - we will have to rely on a suspected terrorist to sue for this to go forward? That shouldn't worry you at all, what our government considers a terrorist is so broad I don't think we would have to rely on your atypical camel-riding-cave-dweller to move this forward. Just someone who get the label by our dangerous and overzealous government.

    I don't think it came with an adaptor to plug into the wall. Well when you're a Harry Potter fanatic like me, you're playing with your vibrating broom down in your parents basement 24/7, spending a substantial amount of your income on batteries. So I rigged up my own AC adapter with parts I fished out of the dumpster behind the RadioShack.

    Considering the effort you went through to back them up, I'd say saving in a lossless format like .PNG would be a good move. And could you not print them out? Then use a scanner to import them back on to your PC?

    You must not be very familiar with the space opera that is Scientology. You see it's all about getting the thetans out. I believe they were an ancient race, that Xenu the galactic prince brought to earth 75 million years ago, set near some volcanoes near Hawaii. Then dropped H bombs in said volcanoes, and somehow their spirits latched on to us homo sapiens, and block our natural super powers, caused all our problems... Etc etc etc. I don't think god shows up in the story, but I could be wrong...

  18. Re:I am not handsome enough to be a lawyer on UK Report Slams EULAs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    have you ever tried to return open software to a retail store? Indeed, returning software is just not an option. I was just having this discussion with my girl friend about my BitTorrent usage, how I need to try before I buy games. That's simply not an option (trying) for many games, and even games that have demos available are quite often based on beta code. But anyways, why should I be penalized when everything on the box points to a runnable program, only to find out the requirements are a little more liberal than I would expect. It's the same deal with the EULAs, once cash money has been paid and you start reading those things... What do you do, take the hit? That appears to be the only option.

    It needs to be pointed out, piracy is the stated reason I cannot return opened software. Yet not being able to return opened software is driving me to piracy...

    I don't know about printers, but apparently with Canon digital cameras they will register the camera serial number with your name if you send it in to Canon for service. That may be the case, but it's my understanding every camera is uniquely identifiable by the pictures it has taken. Serial number or not, you take some pictures of some fucked up shit it and the cops get a hold of your camera, they can tie the pics to you.
