I've never heard of crack.com in reference to a game? named Abuse or Golgotha or whatever. Another domainname for sale. Why is it still considered a novelty when domains change hands? After this many years, it just seems repetitive, and droll to announce something that happens everyday.
As usual, Gandi.net proves _again_ that they are the best registrar. fuck12065237.com is perfectly fine if you register with them. Who in their right mind uses NSI? I know from experience that they review domain name "checks" and register ones that look good, if you do not immediately.
Junkyard wars is a ripoff of battlebots?
Junkyard wars is actually worth watching, and has nothing in common with battlebots...unless you consider Iron Chef a ripoff of Richard Simmons. Come on!
If anyone with a badge knocks on your door give there are only two things you should tell them.
1. Your name
2. Your lawyer's name
Police Officers don't care about who your lawyer is. In fact, nobody is going to even ask you. You will get a notice that tells you when to show up in court, or will get your phone call. Hasn't anyone else ever gone to jail before?
The FBI they sent us when our website was defaced was no clueless agent. She was an expert. Not only at Unix and Apache, but also at the source level. This didn't help much since the hackers altered some inodes in our Ultra, which Ajax didn't find until 2 weeks later.

This is what I found when searching for mp3 comparison. It compares different implementations of encoding for mp3 as well as output quality. Much more useful and definitive.
I run a K6-2/380 128M
I found that buying a 500mhz machine was cheaper ($350) than buying another 380 because of a lack of supply. I never pay more than $130 for a monitor (WHY would YOU)...I have 2 pretty 17" flatscreen SONY Trinitrons cause I know a guy in orange county who only repairs and restores monitors. Find a dealer in your area. If you think you need a 700mhz machine, go buy a fucking Ultra. If you think you need that kind of processing for something OTHER than work, you're putting too much into hardware or not using what you got right. Trying to maintain 120fps for every game? You should be classified as visual masturbation addict.
To think that anyone wants VR to replicate RL is fundamentally flawed logic. No one wants RL replicated. People want minimum effort, maximum return, and to escape if nothing else. Any VR approximating RL will fail quickly and brutally. I dont think I'm alone when I say, I have no need to physically (stand!) walk around in a world in realtime when I could be sitting comfortably and speeding through a world as fast as my perceptions can handle. There is no advantage to the bubble other than novelty. Cyberspace will not be complementary to physical space (other than armslength in front of you), ever.
I rather have A glove (a la NES), goggles, and a mouse. ID nearly had it down from the get-go. I dont see a need for anything more complicated or expensive. Time will tell and I wouldnt bet on a sphere.
I create new web directories, paths, and files everyday - I know exactly who is accessing them. Lets not forget to mention new music that I catalog, rip, and encode with LAME/Paranoia. These are not tracked, since they are broadcast via shoutcast complete with voiceovers I may do from time to time.
I dont quite see how private property relates to intellectual property. One I can put in a box and bury, another I can hardly keep to myself to have it exist. It is only natural and proper that information is dissemintated. Usually we refer to this process as 'schooling'. It's one thing to keep secrets. That is certainly possible (or not according to who you consult nowadays). It's a whole different ballgame when you put a patent on velcro or clear plastic screen covers or a molecule in your own body. The american public are already starting to feel something's inherently wrong with an institution holding people accountable for what thoughts are theirs and which thoughts they have no right to make manifest, before they are born. Doesn't it bother you?
"I grew up in Europe. You know, where the history comes from." - Eddie Izzard
I think you are of the mind that information is worth something, as a lunch is. Information isnt worth anything, that's the point of the information age...and it aint over yet.
America is the current information leader. This is temporary. Any given country's IP law does not hold sway everywhere, so it logically holds sway nowhere if you make an effort. The effort required is increasingly small. Replication is free and distribution is free in a country that does not abide by another particular country's copyright. (ex: Anguila) The most effective thing the US could do to secure it's recognized IP, would be to attempt to filter all transmissions from outside (and within the borders of) the US. This will come to pass eventually, I'm sure. Such an act would put any country at the bottom of the information heap and the world will move on in a worldly fashion ^^
Beyond the fact that prediction is basically guesswork, you don't need to be able to concretely reason out the future. I can only guess that a virgin Geek _will_ like Monty Python. It's just a safe bet. Sometimes the future is intuitive too.
On a related note. More provocative witty sayings come to mind, with colorful commentary!
"Have you ever fought an idea, Picard? It has no weapons to destroy, no body to kill!" - Gowron
Perhaps ignoring IP is akin to studying natural law (a.k.a. physics) during the Dark Ages of Europe. Are not people persecuted and crucified (in a manner reminisce of the Catholic Church) for practicing what is no more or less sinful, in an attempt to understand the world around us today?
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man...blah blah blah" - George Bernard Shaw (paraphrased)
Andy Mueller-Maguhn sounds pretty fucking onery to me!
Finally, a realist speaks on the inevitability of the demise of IP. I dont understand how anyone can deny the obviousness of the final result of a global network. You cannot stop people from doing what they want. They want to die. They will die. They want to speak. They will speak. They want to spread information. It will spread. I'm glad someone out there sees it. Now the question of the reliability of information arises. Look no farther than the cryptographic community? I think not. Look to popular culture. Is not Amazon a model for a trusted source? Complete as can be imagined (and trusted), as accurate in tracking version, author, publication date, etc. as you can find.
I can only agree with you. The information age is not about making information valuable, it's about making it valueless. Free distribution channels have always prospered over barter systems.

Yawn.
I know legal consent is 15 in some states.
I always found the intolerance of pedofilia very strange, as the human species sexually matures in the early teens. There are a number of studies that are dead and buried (although they once flourished over the net) covering the topic. It doesnt seem very sick to me. Then again, I prefer women with big hooters.
This EXACT claim was made in Scientific American awhile (year?) ago - monitors contain X pounds of lead that can leak into the environment. A few people shot back that this statistic was WAY off mark. The problem is that people are being mislead and not bothering to FUCKING THINK. The article was simply misworded. Actual lead by weight vs material (by weight) that can leak lead over time; 2 separate creatures. The entire piece of monitor glass can be a source of lead leaking into the water table - but that does NOT mean that the amount of lead (by weight) is 25% of the weight of the monitor.
