They don't really give a shit about their people anyway. If we gave them OLPC's they'd take them and sell them, or use them for the government. Not only that, but if you were caught giving one to a little girl, they'd probably kill you, then behead the girl because it promotes learning.
Flexing when empty is one thing, but wouldn't it have a tendency to sag more when filled when fuel? I'm sure they've engineered something that's reliable, but the flexibility of them has to be hindered when they're completely filled.
I wonder if teams like this were actually formed for a certain purpose, exactly what type of software can be cracked or copied, regardless of their origin.
I agree that the whole coding and community is garbage.. but, it's very reliable at finding old high school friends and keeping in touch. For free, at least.
You're not going to find high school friends on a site that isn't made user-friendly for morons.
The only thing I've found myspace good for is running into old high school friends. When I moved out of town, I lost touch with tons of people, but I was able to find them again through other friends down the line. Aside from that, it's a breeding ground for pedofiles.
Yeah, you're probably correct. These would also be reluctant to die due to massive amounts of radiation as well, considering their simplicity. They would also be able to populate in small puddles, ice or even boiling water.
"MySpace is still home for Latino/Hispanic teens, immigrant teens, "burnouts," "alternative kids," "art fags," punks, emos, goths, gangstas, queer kids, and other kids who didn't play into the dominant high school popularity paradigm. These are kids whose parents didn't go to college, who are expected to get a job when they finish high school. Teens who are really into music or in a band are on MySpace. MySpace has most of the kids who are socially ostracized at school because they are geeks, freaks, or queers."
I think this is indicative of those who were "tech savvy" as much as having social issues. Myspace was a runoff of all the rating sites, minus the ratings. When the "misfits" found something to not be judged by, it became very popular.
Do you see any of the revenue brought in from the advertisements sold on the station?
I don't expect my kids to get a free year in college because my government actually tried to make back a few million on the hundreds of billions they spend each year, by using a "drm infested" software.
Not only that, but they're going to be using your precious tax dollars (that you get SO much of) to buy NEW software bundles to install throughout the corporation... when it wouldn't have cost them any extra otherwise.
Nothing else to do than poing fingers at a media player?
They're a major source of world news, and someone wants to start a fire because of pure hate for Microsoft?
It's not like they didn't take the time to measure out their options, they're a media broadcasting company for Christ sakes. They've been around a few decades before media player even existed, and I'm pretty sure they're wise enough to decide on their own player even if they needed to purchase it with pocket change.
So.. anyone in the world who is known to have a mix CD (probably 70% of the US) gives RIAA the right to conduct an investigation on them, and sue for 1.8 million dollars in damages?
Everyone?
I don't see them going after rap artists that dub songs from every artist known to man, even when they reproduce it on their albums. They make money off of them.
I don't see them going after movie stars when they see a burnt disc on the seat of their car.
I don't give a shit if it's someone popular or not, even if it IS Bush's daughters... RIAA doesn't have the right to defend their copyright by destroying someone's life.
Some artist can sing about killing people after he got out of jail. Someone steal that CD from a car...listen to it on the street... get inspired enough to kill a couple people.. go to jail and pay LESS than 1.8 million.
Not only that.. but you or I could get high, drive drunk, speed.. GET CAUGHT.. all at the same TIME.. and pay LESS than $1000 in fines over the fucking phone.
Now. Where is the line drawn when protecting a copyright? Especially a song that's broadcast over the air 50,000 times a day.
There's actually a free software that's available that can be used to reset the chips in several brands of ink cartridges. I'm not sure if you need any type of hardware, but I've heard good things about it.
It allows you to reset the numbers and use the remainder of the ink, before it makes you replace it.
If you ask me, the feature that stops you from using a cartridge after the ink is too low, is pretty ignorant. I think it's obvious when the ink is completely out, so why not let the user decide?
Wouldn't it be more effective if we applied this technology to places with more space and more clean air? I would think that it would benefit out on farms, just as much as the city. Nobody wants to live in an apartment that smells like manure.
It probably depends on the price of them and the ability to deploy.
If you could dump 1000 of them out for 100 bucks a piece... all by dropping from a plane or several per soldier, it would probably be quite effective. Even if they do smash one of them, even a couple photos taken will be useful.

You mean, voted "most likely to stalk minors on an internet-based community"?
What would Al Gore do?
Surely the inventor of the internet would have some solution to the communist censorship.

Pretty interesting, nonetheless.

You are ambi-political, even. :)
Word up.
You and I wouldn't have to pay 1.8 million dollars, even if we distributed 50,000 songs across the web, or even sold 100 copied CD's.
So... how are they getting treated fair again?
Would that be considered distribution, if his own money bought the cd's the mixes were made from?
I see. I have noticed there were actually more and more places using torrents. I guess I've never messed with torrents much because of usenet.
Wonder what percentage of the software downloaded via OSS P2P is actually Open Source itself?
I guess you wouldn't necessarily need to download software via P2P if it was actually free to begin with.
I think this is actually the software I was talking about.

This seems to be a trend with much-awaited games that people make a huge deal about. The more it's publicized, the longer it takes to release.
But, I wouldn't doubt that they hold off just to incorporate new ideas and technologies while it's under development.
It would just be nice to actually have some decent games like the swath several years ago. We're sorta in a slump.
