The moonlanding isn't the epitome of advancement. I mean, really, what has the moon landing done for us? Has it provided any major insights into new technology? Has it helped to progress society to a higher level? Well, I must say, barely. I see the moon landing as the US saw it at the time. A dick-measuring contest. Propaganda by beating the russians. Revenge for Yuri Gagarin and the Sputnik. The internet on the other hand is of a entirely different league. It has given us such a new way of communicating that we are unable to think about a life without it. And guess what, the internet didn't start out with a "moonlanding". It has indeed gone with tiny steps. From ARPAnet, to universities, to 3000 baud modems, to www, to broadband. Al tiny steps in itself. Not something that a lot of people know now and will know in the future. But the dickmeasuring in space between the superpowers is something that will be grafted into the minds of man. Sad really.
If somebody has a high risk of being an offender another time, why let him go? Where I live, those people are locked up until they are deemed cured. And if that's impossible, they are never released again.
I'm not even 25 years and I have seen PLENTY of spinning hdds grow old. I currently have a 8 year old one running right next to me. Well, I consider myself lucky since I never had the problem of a failing hdd. And by never I mean NEVER.
Well, I still don't see how this differs from commercial piracy. You are making money with the works of other people and you don't have to pay a dime. Everytime is see a/. post about piracy, everybody's pro-pirate. But if the pirate makes money then they are totally against it. Radio works exactly the same way, yet/.ers make an exception using an advertisement clause. I then refute that everythings advertisement for a band and suddenly I don't understand the fundamental workings of a radio.
Guess what, where I live radio stations DO have to pay for broadcasting a song since they are making money off it. I regard that as totally fair. Yet/.ers have this crazy double standard. Doublethink indeed.
Why should I pay for a concert? It's free advertisement. CDs? Free advertisement, so it's best for them to give them away for nothing. Merchandising? Free advertisement. Guess what? Everything is free advertisement. But that doesn't mean it should be free.
I don't know if it's me but the acid2 test has problems with my pc. I can still scroll and get the smiley face to scroll way up and way down, leaving 2 colory objects in screen. Does anyone else have this problem?
I once saw a movie about Nam veterans. They we're living like bums and when the reporters asked them questions about the war they could only answer with one question:"We won the war but the people made us lose it". Probably a sad case of PTSS. The war was lost and still, many years later, veterans are saying they won it. Makes me sigh when I read it. It's a sad sad world sometimes.

More like Black Sky of Dimness.
That's not true. 79,23% of all statistics are made up on the stop. 88% of the people know that.
I wonder what the trekkie said when he found out the item was not authentic.
One problem. China haz nucular weponz!
Then I, for one, would welcome our intelligent agent overlords.

THat doesn't matter because in communist China, chinese people eat dogs!

I mean, they are experts on this territory you know...
Agreed, 640k jokes about this ought to be enough for ANYBODY.
Yeah, they changed his name to Gomorrasky.

That's what I think about Vista.
And if you really want to be secure, you can throw Windows on the same heap.

I brushed my teeth this morning. This is an absolute truth. Should it be included in Wikipedia?
Even even worse!
Unwashed pinko commie hippies!

Can they be sued?
Yes
Will Facebook lose?
I don't think so Tim
I agree. Try beating the rock/ghost boss with a daredevil comet -.-
Because it's impossible to download a file without a browser?
/rightdir/rightdir/
cmd
ftp
open ftp.mozilla.org
cd pub
cd
get Firefox.exe
Run Firefox.exe
????
Profit
I'm using phasers!
