Just because you make it available, doesn't *make* others download it. It is *their* choice to download the available content. That's the crux of the issue, and a very simple and logical resolution. The RIAA and MPAA don't want this solution because it means taking action against lots of people, with small payouts in each instance. The current solution allows them to abuse the system and get huge payouts from each individual (i.e. more profit).
This is just further proof that government ONLY cares about business, not the people. It's another reason why modern governments do not work and should be torn down, forcibly if need be. It's about time we had vast numbers of people simply start saying "no" to these governments. Are they going to throw us all in jail? Imagine what it'd do to their precious economy if we all went to jail. One day and it would screw things beyond recovery. Are they going to start taking our belongings away? Sure, stop going to work.
I guarantee that if 80% of the working population said fuck you to business and governments, and went on "strike", within 2 weeks, governments would bow. The problem is that most people these days are:
1) stupid
2) apathetic
3) both 1) & 2)
They don't realise how much they're getting fucked over, and worse, they don't care. They don't want to think, they don't want to have to think, they don't want to have to self govern. They don't care if they elect someone to do it on their behalf, who doesn't actually end up doing it on their behalf, who does what *their* political party's desires are (at the behest of big business).
Sorry, but I will always be anti government, and anti business, call me an anarchist, anti social bastard. The day approaches when society will crumble, and I for one eagerly await that day. I will be cheering my lungs out on that day.
I'm sorry, but far too often, the court decrees to protect these fucking bastards as a result of the case. Name and shame them.
This is nothing more than censorship from big brother, Orwellian 1984 style governments. That's where we are heading.
The ONLY way to stop it is for mass revolts across every nation, against every government. The very fabric of modern governments has to be totally pulled down and replaced with something that is more transparent, and reliant on public wants. Society is fucked as it currently is, and will only get worse. I'm glad I have a limited lifespan, because society blows beyond comprehension as it is now, and it will only get worse as I said.
Just by improperly suspending the domain, they are censoring any information that would have appeared on the site.
Censorship yes.
Whether people like it or not, the big countries, (US, UK, Australia, Japan, Germany, Israel) are all enforcing censorship of the populace, despite mass outcry against it.
This is further proof in my eyes that current governments, and the current form of government cannot be trustred and should, in reality be removed from the equation. Let's return power to the people, than trust these bastards.
But, I believe handbrake will NOT work with encrypted DVDs, which is 99% of DVDs on the market. I've tried the Windows version of handbrake, and it doesn't work. Maybe I missed something, but OOTB, it is an epic fail.
It's not running natively in Linux. WINE is intended to run Windows binaries. That alone should give you enough of a hint.
I agree with the parent - not a lot works under Linux - so much of it's alpha, or not even alpha quality, very dodgy quality, very unreliable.
As I've strongly said in the past, it would be far better for Linux users if it dropped the "we must have 50 types of applications to do X" mentality, and everyone just worked together on the one killer app. Better development, faster development, less bugs, more features.
Who'd want to be a crack whore, oops I mean a craftwhore?
This is what you get when the good ole' use of a fucks with things like the copyright act, software patents etc. Big business wins, the little developer gets fucked over.
Simply just don't play the shit - it's a crap game anyways imho. Vastly overrated. Blizzard has an electronic addiction, nothing more and nothing less.
I don't know what happened to blizzard, but it happened around the same time that Vivendi bought them. StarCraft II split into multiple parts that we have to buy? Sounds like 'let's rip 'em off lads'. Diablo III is looking uglier and uglier imho - they had something going with the original artwork direction but now it's all dark and gloomy again. I think I'll be passing on anything that Blizzard offers in the future. A loss of income is the only way bastards like this listen. But, I'm sure most of you Blizzard whores are too enamoured and addicted to do anything.
OK, what happened with FireFly then? Great show, great characters and stories, huge online following, yet cut. It was and is better than half the BS CSI crap that is spewed out and mindlessly swallowed by idiot box loving freaks too. What gives?
Fox couldn't pick (and support) a good show if it rammed it.
My logic is the higher the pay an exec gets, the less they know, and the more they fuck up.
Oh please, stop your pro Linux ranting. Linux is vastly overrated, at least for the *average* person. I've used it for a good number of years, probably before newbies like you starting ranting and raving about it, and it's generally more problems than its worth.
And it isn't any faster either - I have a triple boot system here - Debian AMD64, Windows XP 32 bit, Windows Vista 64 bit and boot up times and average usage times are no different between the 3 of them. If anything, I'd say Linux is a bit more sluggish.
There's a lot of Windows shops out there that have trialled Linux and left it for a variety of reasons. It has its places (it is good as a server o/s), but as a desktop it has many issues.
Dave
Oh and FireFox sucks dogs balls, it's a far inferior browser to both Opera and IE in many ways imho. Heavily overrated by nuts like you.
That's not Vista 64 bits fault, that's the lazy fucked up driver vendors who refuse to get off their fat and lazy asses to actually write drivers that *work*. Period.
As I said in a previous post, it's about time governments started stepping in and stopping manufactufers from taking the easy way out and *forcing* them to write working and stable 64 bit drivers. Period.
Of course, since governments don't give a fuck about you and me, the little bloke, but ONLY care about these rich cunts and big business, we're screwed.
I feel your pain - my far more expensive Canon EOS 1D Mark IIn has no FireWire drivers for x64...Canon's solution? Sorry, we have no intentions of making drivers for it. Period. The only thing I can do is either:
1) use a card reader (which means more things I have to buy, more chances of screwing up the card and/or breaking pins either in the card reader or the camera itself
2) Go back to XP or downgrade to Vista 32 bit (thus killing the reasoning for upgrading to 64 bit Vista and having 8GB in the first place for increased Photoshop performance)
3) Upgrade to a EOS 1D Mark III at a severe cost to myself
4) change camera marque - not exactly fun, since all up, I have probably AU $20k of gear...I'd lose a great deal in the swap over.
How about governments actually step off their ass and *force* manufacturers to fucking support their products properly, instead of them bending over backwards to care for these greedy bastards? Governments are elected by the people, *for* the people, so why they are so kind to business never fathoms me.
It's one of the reasons why I despise capitalism (and there are more reasons than just this for my logic).
Because, they don't give a fuck about us, the common man. We're here to be abused. The time is a soon coming where the common man will rise against these so called "governments" and pull them, and all that support them, down. It cannot come a moment too soon.
Anti abortion nuts (yes, I'll call them nuts), are simply Catholic right wing idiots. Religion should never become involved with politics. We already have the Catholic Bullshit religion â interfering politically with other religion's beliefs (marrying more than one woman, legal under Muslim law, is illegal in most western, pro Catholic countries). Religious discrimination? You betcha. Now, let's consider euthanasia. Again, barring religous beliefs, someone has the right to choose when *they* want to die. More so those who are terminally ill. What right does the fucking Pope have to tell me I can't end my life if I'm in pain and suffering from a terminal illness if I'm NOT a Catholic? If I'm a Jew, a Muslim, A Hindu, a Buddhist, a Pagan, the Catholic point of view is irrelevant to my personal, theological and religious beliefs. Yet, it is *forced* on me. What about respect for my beliefs?
Most of these wankers in politics are right wing religious nutto fucktards, who couldn't shit a good idea out of their asses. I say down with them, fuck them off, and put in *real* people who will make *real* decisions, not based on religion, or bribes from the rich, the powerful, and big business.
I wonder what would happen if 50% of the population took a class action against the Federal government for this?
If every ISP has the balls, they could simply say "no". What is the Federal government going to do, put them all out of business and hand Telstra a monopoly of the entire market? You'd have riots in the streets.
I just hope blackhats start owning enough machines and start attacking government departments and bringing them down. Continously.
I should be careful what I say, it's no secret that *everything* that we say on the Internet, or mobile phones goes through a filter already, for certain keywords. People who utter these keywords get a government file on them and get monitored more than the average joe bloe. The government will never admit this, but I can guarantee you that it happens. 100% guarantee it.
Now if enough people start sending EMails to friends and family with these key words, said government bodies will be overwhelmend with data that they cannot process. It'll make what they are illegally doing moot. No matter what the crime, the government does NOT have the right to spy on the populace. Never. Ever.
We are getting to the point with modern society that we either stand up and make a stand now against these politcal tyrants, or roll over and cop it up the rear. I'd rather be fighting for my rights, and my freedoms than bowing to this, or any other government's illegal political interference.
Who gives a fuck about what that **** of a company, Apple thinks? I for sure don't. I'd love to see the fuckers go bust. I hate Apple. I hate idiotic Apple loversâ as well. They're like little lemmings - they deserve to be chucked over a 200 parsec high cliff. Whilst nuking them on the way down.
Rats will chew, the term rodent, comes from the Latin, Rodere, which means "to gnaw". They'll do it, as was stated by SatanicPuppy, if it's in their way, or they're building nests. Probably both.
Rats are extremely smart, and it is now showing that poisons in the UK are having little, if not effect on them, as they're becoming genetically immune to them. As an aside, I'm totally against poisons, they are a completely inhumane way of dealing with rodent pests. I always find it amusing that man is so heavy about being humane to his fellow humans, but does not apply the same principles to other animals that inhabit the Earth. Hypocrisy anyone?
Getting a cat might not be a bad idea, but let me just say that Rats are omnivores. 3 or 4 of them, especially if they're large, will make a mess of a cat. Sure, the cat might take a few of them out, but let's just say the rats *will* win.
The best thing is to find their food source and remove it. Also, remove anything that might make a nice warm nest for them. Don't worry about patching up holes, they'll just chew through it if they want to. Rats can chew through uncured concrete btw. A fully grown wild rat can jump distances of up to 12'.
I don't like extermination - I believe that it has a negative impact on humans in the area, that we don't fully realise yet.
Well, I had a play with KDE 4.1.x a week or so ago (part of a Fedora Core 10 RC VM that I had handy) and I don't really like it. I much prefer the older KDE 3.x series in all honesty. Within a minute, I'd picked up on what I considered a bunch of serious UI issues. Some elements of the new KDE look great, others look horrid to my eyes. I never thought I'd say this, but I think KDE screwed up with KDE 4. Visually better in many aspects, UI worse in many aspects imho.
It doesn't really matter too much, since Vista x64 is my main system these days, and I find it looks great, is secure, and performs admirably, with a nice enough UI to suit my needs. I wouldn't switch back to XP, and OS X is well, nice, but has its own oddities for users, I like to refer to it as being apmackintoshishitis.:-)
That's cos the average person has become both stupid, and apathetic. They don't want to be proactive in solving social, political, legal and cultural issues, they want to sit on their sorry asses and palm the problems off to someone else, who typically does fuck sweet all, or if they do do something, they cock it royally up. And worse, they get paid big money for doing so.
The more I think about it, the more I believe that man was not meant to live in the large societies of today, but more in smaller clan type environments where the leaders were more personal to the rest of the clan, and usually became leaders not because of money, image etc, but because the clan believed that they were sincerely the best way to lead the survival of the clan.
Only in America. It seems consumers who buy software these days, have *no* rights at all. It's about time governments started actually looking after their constituents, by making laws *against* software companies removing our rights, and making the DMCA illegal (as well as software patents). Limit copyright ownership for software to 20 years maximum, and we'll start heading in the right direction. There is simply no freedom of rights in the software industry anymore.
Of course, I wouldn't waste my money buying WOW anyways, those guys are worse than crack whores going for cock or the crack pipe.
It's about time that governments started taking social responsibility against software vendors like Blizzard who deliberately make games knowing that consumers will become addictive to the point where it dames their social, and welfare status.
Of course, governments, at least modern ones, especialy the US government, don't give a fuck about the ordinary person. It's quite plainly clear, we've only got to look at the rescue packages given to those greedy rich corporate fuckers. What about those that are going to be homeless because they're losing their houses? They get jack shit.
You can't tell that to the Linux hardcore nuts though. They're adamant that this is the year of the Linux desktop. Baloney. Linux has so *many* problems with it, that unless they are addressed, it will end up being a server has been operating system.
There's nothing wrong with Vista, only with the morons who can't adapt. Oh, and idiotic, lazy, good for nothing 3rd party software developers, driver developers, and hardware developers who didn't give a shit about users moving to Vista, and fucked us around (yes, Canon, you are *one* of those as well). I have a long memory, and those companies will *not* be rewarded with recommendations, or return purchases.

The problems are simply to fix:
1) remove the DMCA, there is no need for it
2) limit copyright to 50 years from date of "invention" - no extensions
3) illegalise software patents (they aren't legal anyways)
4) Illegalise the RMCA and MPAA as illegal organisations akin to money laundering and mobster activity
The world would be a far better place almost immediately.

Amen. That should end this argument very nicely - prior art of the concept within the software industry.
