No interest in technology? That sounds like my ex-boss! Totally clueless and had absolutely no desire to educate himself. Yet somebody decided to put a clueless wonder like him in charge of making IT related decisions In an IT company I worked as a SysAdmin for last year. You want to talk about factors that adversely affect job performance? Wonder why he's my ex-boss? Wonder why the company is practically tits-up?
It's times like this when I hope that there is a God and he will rule that the evil bastards at Monsanto are misusing HIS patent (the human being) and will revoke their further use of it.
Why doesn't somebody come up with something really useful like a chip that blocks those disgusting "feminine hygine" commercials from being shown on TV's belonging to single guys? Call it the "Y" chip. You'd have single guys buying them up like crazy!
Don't forget that these are the same people who will scream bloody murder if you try to spank your chil (a method that has been proven to work over thousands of years though you can't tell them that, they're think they can re-invent the wheel)
Since I don't recall giving anyone from any of these "services" the right to search my hard drive, I wonder if there is a case for illegal search as they claim to have the "ability" to search my HD without my knowledge (or consent).
I dunno, I have several copies for "evaluation and testing purposes". Of course I didn't ask but we all know what a generous individual Bill Gates is. I'm sure he won't mind.
Keep in mind that despite the weight of evidence against him, Jammer has been convicted of no crime and unless he decides to spend thousands of dollars, he won't have the opportunity to present his case in a legal forum.
Guilty till proven innocent!!
Anyone else see what's wrong with this picture?
So we change one letter in the artist's name and guess what? That's right, that track won't show up on anybody's "naughty" list. They've created an impossible task by ruling that Napster must ensure that copyrighted material must not be exchanged knowingly. Maybe that's the key... change the name of the artist just enough that it can still be recognised by a human, but not by a machine (example: Oink Floyd-comfortably numb.mp3) and Napster cannot be realistically expected to determine with any certainty whether this is really copyrighted material or some unsigned "spoof artist", and it's business as usual.
I don't understand... Even if one banned the export of encryption from the USA, whats to stop someone such as the above mentioned gentleman from aquiring encryption software from a non-American software provider? What, do they think that no-one else is bright enough to write encryption software??? Another thought: Whats to stop one of his "friends" from burning him a CD and mailing it to him??? I know, I know thats illegal, but in case you haven't noticed these guys are already criminals!!!
If Bin Laden or the Mob or anyone else wants encryption, an export ban is hardly going to stop them. That's right up there with my country's (Canada) recent dumbshit politician firearm registration legislation. Yeah right, all the criminals are going to rush down to the police station and register their guns. We don't need legislation restricting encryption, we need legislation restricting politicians.

Why don't you go back and RTFM? I've had zero trouble installing 2k on Sony Vaio's (or any other laptop for that matter) and the 2k drivers for the Vaio do work, including the special function keys. You have to do a complete re-format and a clean install from scratch. Sony does also state that there is a specific order in which they need to be installed in.
All this is well and good, but I'm wondering what Sort of positive social effects they would attribute to games such as Leisure Suit Larry. I suppose seduction is an art and does require strategic thinking. The other benefit, I suppose would be it would increase reproduction rates amongst strategie thinkers...
Maybe HP should just stop selling burners in Germany. Let the German tech firms who have come to rely on this technology tell their lawmakers what they think of their stupid law that says in effect everyone is guilty of piracy irrespective of their stated intentions.

So, what are they going to call this...Mr Fission? I guess this is the precursor to the much more reliable and popular Mr Fusion...
In the conservatory with the candlestick!

So THIS is why my system starts going apeshit every time I visit slashdot...

See above.
...and if you can't blind them with science, baffle them with bullshit.
Don't forget that these are the same people who will scream bloody murder if you try to spank your chil (a method that has been proven to work over thousands of years though you can't tell them that, they're think they can re-invent the wheel)
So I guess that sort of negates my claim to the Andromeda Galaxy! Bummer!
Somebody hurry up and invent Mr Fusion!
I think they would have used the "Billyborg" one but it's been done to death.
Oh I don't know, they've sent me lots of free coasters!
Maybe sonebody will hurry up and invent "Mr Fusion"
Nuff said.
