What exactly is a 'hard' copy? I get the feeling most people are just fine with a digital file on their hard drive.
A 'hard copy' is something you can hold in your hands, and say, 'I have this CD', or 'I have this book', put it on the shelf, flip through the pages/liner notes, lend to friends, etc. While you may 'have a feeling' that regular people are fine with digital files, I have a similar feeling that says when those people have a drive failure or Dell tech support tells them to re-image their machine, and they lose all their files, they won't be feeling so 'fine'.
Oh right, they should have backed up their licence files. Even if they did, it will still take a long time to find and re-download everything. Assuming the service is still alive and you're still subscribed. Who knows what you'll need.
Granted, you could also lose all your CDs, but you have to admit, that's a pretty catastrophic event, and your music collection will probably be the least of your worries. And hey, insurance will pay for new ones, or at least the ones that aren't out of print.
Commentaries are usually pretty good. Yeah, it's just a bunch of people talking (or sometimes just one). Imagine that. But some are obviously pretty bad. The Terminator 3 was definitely one of the worst.
Yes, but your method requires an organized, systematic effort to discriminate. The good old way of a cop pulling someone over can be abused by anyone independant of laws, policies or rules.
Well, someone flew over the South Pole already, in a helicopter. Except they planned ahead, and had fuel dumps set up, and arranged for a rescue team to stand-by. Ie: nothing like this bozo who didn't even file a flight plan.
If something is stolen from you then by definition you no longer have it. With copyright violation, you still have your work. Therefore it is not theft.
OK, that's one way of looking at it. Another is that theft is taking something you don't have permission or legal rights to. You made a copy, and now you have something you have no right to possess without paying the copyright owner. That you copied it, as opposed to taken the original, is immaterial. The act, and the end result, have no legal sanction.
Yes, but there's a million worlds of difference between 'accurate' and 'complete and utter scientific garbage'. Surely there's a satisfying AND entertaining middle-ground?
The thing with product placement is that it can be really effective. I don't notice it the vast majority of time. 'Oh, he was using a Mont Blanc pen?' Does that mean I didn't notice and the placement failed? Or does it mean that it was effective and that is somehow got etched into my subconscious? Some product placement is really obvious, painfully and uncomfortably so. You know you're getting shafted. Sometimes it's noticeble, but subtle, and you have to wonder, did they just use this brand because they needed a product? Was there some kind of arrangement with the manufacturer? Did they get paid after the fact to not cut or obscure the brand? Can you use a brand in a movie without permission or payment, or are all real brands in movies paid placements? Instead of enjoying the movie, these are quite often the kinds of thoughts flying through my head in a theatre. Well, that and 'shut the fuck up already!'
You don't need to click on the search box, Google has a line of two of JavaScript that moves the keyboard focus to the search box on a page load. Just start typing and press enter.
That's generally the case, with large companies especially. Unless it's a workforce reduction scheme. New office arrangement, some people can't handle it, review time comes around, oops, sorry, you're fired.
OK, what about law enforcement then? They obviously denounce crime, and profit almost exclusively from it, indirectly in the form of wages from taxes, and directly, in the form of seized property and assets. They also pay cash to known, and active, criminals to act as their informants.
Now, the RIAA may be hipocrytical, but what they're doing is not illegal.
As long as you pipe things in and out of gzip, there's no file size limitations, except those in your system, depending on what you do with the output (pass to split?). Anyhow, this has been my experience with gzip on Solaris (where gzip crapped out after 2GB). The solution is to use redirection; cat doesn't care about some 2GB limit, and to gzip it's just a never-ending stream of bytes.
So am I, whenever I'm carrying something I just bought. You never know whether the thing has a strip, or whether the 'deactivation' actually worked. In the past, deactivating the tag at the place you bought it would still set off alarms at other stores. It doesn't seem to be an issue as much anymore. But the memories of having to dump my bags and match them up with recepits and just the general PITA of it all always makes me wary of shopping at more than one place. If I buy some DVDs on my lunch hour, I don't usually like to go to the grocery store on my way from work, because the alarm would always go off, and there's never anyone around at those places to look after you right away, so you just shrug your shoulders and keep walking, feeling like a dirty criminal. Geez...
No, it's like when I buy a new CD player because my old one broke or was stolen, and it doesn't play any of my old CDs. Yeah, I think that would be a little unexpected.
But that works in only very few cases. If you rename an executable as a.avi, Windows will launch MediaPlayer, which will look at the file and barf because it can't find a decoder for it. Mediaplayer won't try and run the executable, it will pop up an error box. This only works when the application 'launcher' (outlook) and the 'runner' (os?) look at different attributes (extension vs mime type) to determine executability of files.
People who retired, or could have retired, in their mid-30s, really do have to ponder the problems that come with having too much money. (Mainly, that it can change your relationships to other people in unpleasant ways.)
This is such bullshit. It's only spouted by people who either have 'too much' money, or no chance of EVER having enough. It's very much the line repeated by, say, beautiful people. Wah wah! Poor little me. I don't know what to do. People 'don't like me'. Cry me a fucking river. All things considered, it is far better, by leaps and bounds, to have too much, than not enough.
Wah wah. I'm 30 and I can retire. Oh no, whatever will I do with myself now? Overall, I think all these complainers who find themselves in such 'unfortunate' situations ARE probably right, but not for the reasons they think. They DO have too much money, and not enough imagination or drive.
Why? Windows 2000/XP has software RAID (0/1) and the Server editions do RAID 5 in software as well. I've used this in the past very successfully, and it works just fine, as far as software RAID goes anyways.
This is the biggest failing of this silly storage server project. No RAID, overpowered CPU and way too much RAM, and a 128MB 3D video card?!?! Someone's smoking crack, and, from the comments I've read so far, it isn't the/. posters.
Being good has nothing to do with whether YOU like the music or not. If Britney Spears goes triple platinum in the first week, or whatever, then obviously people like it, and it's good music by some measure.
Huh? The competition is secondary, it follows from all the other goals: making popular animations, breaking new ground, being financially successful, creating works that can be appreciated on many levels. This all has competition stamped all over it, implied or otherwise. Animation houses create atr, yes, but they also must compete to survive. They must compete for capital, talent, screen time, Blockbuster and Circuit City shelf space, etc. Animation is pushing technological boundaries right now WTR computational power and creation tools and techniques... this stuff doesn't grow on trees. Holding hands and chanting to crystal spirits won't get you anywhere.
sqlquery("select * from user where username='$user'")
Which is why you should be using bound variables or placeholders in the first place:
sqlquery("select * from user where username=?", $user)
The db library should do the right thing. It will even take care of stuff like VARCHAR vs NUMBER. No need to remember to quote or escape.
As an aside, you should never do 'SELECT *', because it's ALWAYS overkill. For example, in the above query you don't have to retrieve 'username' as you obviously already have it. You'll rarely need ALL the fields from your tables. It's just sloppy, and grossly inefficient if you're getting TEXT or BLOB fields that you won't use. Also, you're guaranteed to receive your variables in a known order when you explicitely specify all the columns, so you can get an additional speed gain by using subscripted arrays as opposed to hashes for your record sets. I fucking hate it when people do a 'SELECT *' and then use an array to access the results, as you always have to refer to the db schema and must be super careful when changing it.
What you are describing has nothing to do with cross-site scripting. You're just cracking a web site to redirect traffic. At best it's a man-in-the-middle attack.
A cross-site scripting exploit would be posting a specially crafted comment to the forums what would result in visitors' cookies being sent to the attacker.

I would welcome this development, as instead of having to pay for 40 channels, I'd just be paying for the 4 that I actually watch.

I bet your P2-450 did everything you asked it to as well, before you got the Mac, right?
You'll get the itch in 3 years, Mac or not.

And, wow, big surprise, they're just like us. Just like in any other company.
Kinda reminds me of a quote from some movie I don't recall the title of... 'there's no good guys chasing bad guys... it's just a bunch of... guys!'
