Anyone who starts up arguments as to whether the toilet seat should be up or down clearly has nothing more important to do in their lives than goto the toilet.
Dial *#06# and your phone should reveal its serial number Aka IMIE number wich the networks in Australia can and do block once the phone is reported stolen.

Then, again, it could be the OP is using their ISP's NNTP servers, so he doesn't get the groups or the binaries or the retention that the rest of us do for a few bucks a month. Ive always used my ISPs server without a problem (I dont bother with binaries)
Usenet is far from dead in fact its very much alive its just shifted off to the side of the spotlight.
Actually, I'm more pissed as a content provider then I am as a consumer. How dare they! If I wanted advertising on my content, I'd put it there, and get paid for it. For me, this is totally stealing from content providers and not just annoying to consumers. I mean, isn't that like making money off of other peoples content? Not only that they are also defacing your content.
I DON'T want my users seeing ads so I don't place ads anywhere on my site.
It's the same as the famous "Do Not Call" list that stops me from getting bothersome phone spam, except that Banks, Credit Card Companies, Insurance Companies, Health Care Companies, Charities, and a hundred other categories are NOT FRIGGIN' COVERED by the "Do Not Call" list.
We now have the same thing in Australia.
Whats the point in exemptions i hang up on them all what good is it doing denying me the right to block morons from calling me!
People honestly have nothing better to do than cry about a non existant issue Its not google descend down the side of buildings and take photos thru the window.
That would be an illegal business model. However, if you do follow through on the rest and take them to court and win most, then it's perfectly legal. It is illegal to threaten lawsuits without cause. It's not illegal to offer a settlement if you do have cause. The RIAA cant prove anything If I download a file they cannot prove that I did so why not just accuse them of making up all their evidence?
Even then I have a wifi access point I don't use but leave open for the public it could have been anyone.
Im honestly sick of record labels crying that they cant turn a profit when the market is disappearing.
I have a question for everyone.
How many Blacksmiths do you see around these days?
Do you know why? Its because the market for them isn't there anymore would be blacksmiths are now in other markets.
When will the music industry shut up and move to another market?
It's important to have the laws before the AI, otherwise the AI won't care so much for the laws. Although whether anything truly intelligent would strictly obey laws is debatable. Unless the AI is advanced enuth to suffer then it has no consequence for breaking the law.
Humans dont obey laws so any intelligent being we create is less likely to unless restricted by its programming.
The irony of this kind of idea is that they'll give these kids the iPods and completely fail to give the schools the resources to record and publish anything that could go on the iPods. Do the schools also get recording equipment? Does anybody at the school know how to make a website, or an RSS feed? Do the kids being given iPods also have a computer? I see a vicious cycle in the making.
I was fuming. So they were out to destroy the record industry from right under my nose? Fat chance. When they came to the counter to make their purchase, I grabbed the little shit by his shirt. "So...you're going to copy this to your friends over The Internet, punk?" I asked him in my best Clint Eastwood/Dirty Harry voice.
"Uh y-yeh." He mumbled, shocked. If thats how you treat customers them your not fit to run a bussiness dont blame others for your imcompitence.
Its your fault if you stay in a failing market.
Theres a good reason you dont see many candlestick makers around anymore?
Next were going to have the video store owners complaining that they cant make a Living.
Now excuse me while I go back to my stall in the city center selling horseshoes!

Why should we buy from criminals like the MPAA? IT makes no sense to fund this sort of thing

In that case torrentspy can safely ignore the ruling.
At least TorrentSPY will now be living up to their name.
This come as no surprise of course they are going to say that.
Do we really have Nothing better to post on /. today?
Maybe I should show everyone how I use a deskfan to cool my computer!?!?

I wish the recording industry would just accept that the DONT have a viable business model.
Might as well stand on a street corner offering to polish peoples shoes.
Australia simply docent have the bandwidth to contribute to piracy on a mass scale.
There is even a political party using internet speed as one of their election promises.
Weird Al has a good one called "dont download this song" up on youtube.
My guess is Not long
Worse are the people who use loudspeaker while in public.
They cant stop people making voice calls I fail to see what makes them think people will use ONLY the aircrafts network.
Try registering a .com.au or .net.au you need to provide trademark registration info.
