I'll bite. They have every to do whatever they can get away with, right? Using their own "standards" to lock people to their platform, perpetuating their own dominance. It makes it much harder for competition to arise in this situation. The majority of games will never be ported to another system. Sounds fair? Sounds like monopoly abuse to me.
Well I can see your point that it's "Pure and Simple", once the facts are taken away. But I can't help remember the words clear and present danger used to describe Iraq. If it was to remove him from power, why then was the justification to congress that there was this imaginary threat?
You only assume there was no one against the bombs perpetrated by Nato. Just because it wasn't on CNN or FOX, or whatever, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
I would hope you can see the danger of a government going to war to protect itself against a threat that was not there, only to say it actually went for another reason after the fact.
You're not being condemned for destroying a madman, but for going to war on false pretenses. Almost 1000 American's have died, and untold thousands of Iraqis, based on false information. Should the world rejoice at that fact? I think not.
sorry, my words should've been chosen with more care. The US may not have been the ones supply the arms through direct sales, but do a search for "BNL", the US *did* provide Iraq with plenty of cash. By no means are those who sold so many weapons to a mad man, innocent. They deserved to be shamed as well. Let just not forget the US destroyed a mad man they supported (and helped build up), knowing full well of the evils he perpetrated against other nations as well as his own people.
+R and -R have different success rates playing on home DVD players. the dual layer Discs (afaik) are supposed to be playable on home DVD players, like movie discs are already. I assume with the addition of +R9 and -R9 it would be similar, except now you can get 8.5gb of storage instead of 4.5gb
Was it love of the Iraqi people that caused the US to go to war? or was it the WMD? And if it was the love, where was it when they were dropping cluster bombs? oh yeah I forget, who armed Iraq?
It is not even conceivable that the French (and MOST other US ALLIES) looked at the evidence for going to war, weighed it and it came up short? I mean it was proven that the intelligence that "caused" the US to go to war to "protect itself" was faulty.
Maybe they just couldn't bring themselves to sending their countrymen to die, and condemn Iraqi's to become "collateral damage" that doesn't even get an official body count.
But yeah, it could've been all about the money, why not that's what it's all about there in the US, right? Maybe they asked for a cut and were told to go fuck themselves with a baguette.
It's fucking sad, cause it's true. Seeing that I live in Canada I get to experience the US' view of free trade. Free trade is one of the biggest lies the US tells, preach free trade, practice protectionism. Ignore science, listen to lobbyist.
Hmm... I don't think Carnivore would work here in Canada. Privacy seems to be more valued here, and somewhat better protected then is currently in the US (oddly enough).
heh. not my tax dollars. Most of us in the great white north don't believe fighting in illegal wars;)

Should not the government that has spent 10s of Billions of dollars, include the cost of such communication for the men and women that are fighting and dying for it?
hmmm... although completely off topic... As he was belgian, I'm quite sure he (and anyone outside of america) would not consider himself a French cartoonist. Just as a Quebecois cartoonist would not be a French cartoonist, or an American writing in english be an english one.

They'll just print more money :)

Check out this thread on cdrinfo.com.

I've been using proteus for many months now, and even paid for it.
I've found its integration with os x to be excellent.

I don't think that would be a problem.
I think whatever OS you load would overwrite the memory that would store the virus.

he's probably sniffing your packets right now, best disconnect from the net.
Seriously though, you need to ensure your own security on a public network, just like the internet.

easier to adapt, as long as you live above sea level, and are not on a small island.

so you don't support it, but accept it.
at what point do you draw the line?
so when they anal suppositories that will track everyone, thus eliminating terrorism (somehow), will you be first in line?
yes, there will be sticky notes "this chip and all of it's contents were stolen from seagate".
IP theft is not that obvious
doesn't it check itself when it executes?
try proving it contains their IP.
