  1. Re:Beat them to the punch on US ISP Adopts Three-Strikes Policy · · Score: 3, Interesting

    now that I have some options (dsl, cable) I'd immediately cancel if my isp followed suit.
    Its not that I'm for or against dmca, frankly to me its a pandora box they can never close imo.
    If people were proven without a doubt violated copyright then I could see disconnections. But without a
    trial or whatever there is nothing to the accusations. No real proof, or even a proponderance of evidence.

    yeah thats part of the problem with torrent. I downloaded a while back to re-watch, but deleted them. I refused to open my "limited editions" because I knew lucas would never re-release the originals again after VHS.

    Maybee I'll look that up again. If quality is good its probably best way to remember them as they were when I was younger

    well I wasn't that old when first one came out. I still watched it everytime it showed on ASN/ATV/CTV when it ran, until the special editions came out.

  6. freeballer on Where To Start With DIY Home Security? · · Score: 1

    Very interested in seeing what is posted here. Ever since I bought a diy motion detector I've
    wondered about low cost, diy security systems and home automation. I hope some other
    solutions than zoneminder are available. I have relatively small area to cover right now, so a
    camera and motion sensor is enough but I'd like to know how to scale it.

    If you are looking for multiple camera application, and using windows, I've used webcamxp
    with some success. (not free) but it supports some wifi cameras and my logitech orbit (with tilt/zoom).
    A 20$ motion sensor phones any phone call and plays a pre-recorded msg. The webcamxp will email me
    and record/send video

  7. what wacko out there actually beleives this? on Sound As the New Illegal Narcotic? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I'll be honest. I'm going to go an listen to some.. But how is this news?
    its neer been proven audio/radio waves have any effect on anything.. Let alone the human mind
    we can't even have a consensus on cell phone = cancer and I'm suppost to take this seriously?
    I think the kids are mind-f--king their parents and seeing how !@#$% stupid they are.
    This is why the states and all over the world can't find a \\sensible\\ drug policy. Too many
    wackos stirring up stupid bull-sh-t. Instead of pointing and laughing at their stupidity
    somehow these "people" are taken seriously

  13. anoymous on USB-IF Slaps Palm In iTunes Spat · · Score: 1

    as I've seen on episodes of court tv shows, if they came into this with clean hands. aka filing suit saying apple themselves are breaking rules instead of circumventing i would be more likely to side with them and against apple (which btw, is a lame - cheap ass - underhanded way to monopolize itunes/ipod) but they didn't and they can't go home to mommy and daddy later on and whine and complain that apple isn't playing fair.

    I never saw this woman til just now... but she's really manly looking, no offence intended. Maybee the tests aren't infoulable but considering how many would test to be xxy I'd say test them and if they happen to be that 1% give it to them. but genetal checks don't mean anything if a guy could get a great doctor and other body differences (to my knowledge) are chopped upto things like hormones (size of middle/second last finger)

  19. freeballer on Pirate Party Coming To Canada · · Score: 1

    while I'm no angel when it comes to downloading. Yes, I've downloaded an episode I missed or other things AND I feel that patend/trademarks should be allowed. I think though these guys might as well ask for world peace, curing all deseases and removal of all nuclear arms in the world. I don't like how copyrighted material is enforced, and their rediculous claims of "losses" in court you'll never get what your asking for "pirate party"... You should shoot for a, possibly, acheivable goal such as writting laws that allow for upto 3 copies per household or personal use. THAT COULD HAPPEN

  20. Re:freeballer on FDA Considers Banning Acetaminophen-Based Pain Killers · · Score: 1

    I've seen a back specialist. but are you refering to someone just to help in pain management? Would I be refered to by my family doctor or through hospital?

    I've tried Lyrica, gabapentin at different dozes, along with many others. Right now I'm on Tridural 200mg but is doing nothing and will need to see doctor again soon to change or go back to tylenol 3..

    Ketamine seems to work well with other forms of pain or releif. but what concerns me is the halicinative state it says on wiki and webmd. Perhaps at a low dose isn't an issue, but it could be something to discuss with him and see. I will definitely ask about pain specialist or ask if some other specialist can help with my problems

    thanks for your reply weirdjohn

  21. freeballer on FDA Considers Banning Acetaminophen-Based Pain Killers · · Score: 1

    I'll be first to admit I do not have the worse back problem, and (thankfully) there is no pins, breaks, etc.. I have mild scoliosis
    They cannot operate and my doctor knows very much how many tylenol I use and I've told him I'm worried about my liver and other health issues dealing with aceta... use but completely refuses to use anything else to eleviate my pain.. Which btw, I can't completely make someone without back problems understand but keep me in bed most of day is prolonged and with me 24/7. There are times where it feels like someone is popping my head of my neck like a dandelion and I can't think straight, drive or even walk because of the pain. Granted I'm in canada, but if this happens in usa I'm pucked if the ban comes here. I'd rather not be on pain killers at all, and definitely not on anything like oxy, morphene, etc.. but only thing that works is codeine so far, and even then my doctor refuses to up my dosage - even if I can't take more than my usual dose without being sick. I've tried physio, yoga, acupuncture, gym, and a bunch of other things without helping at all. + Advil and other meds such as anti-imflamatory, etc.. has been tried and totally failed. Even some replacements to codeine have me popping 8 or more tylenol during day.

    I guess what I'm saying here is that nobody in pain wants to be in pain of course but they will take what they need to to be productive, get through work/sports like I do. Until they figure some new kind of miracle drug they should not remove one of the only solutions people have to help them manage pain. Alot of doctors are scared to put people on narcotics, and rightfully so in alot of cases... and what about regular people who have pain? and those who other solutions don't work (advil, etc..)

    I dunno. I wanted to rant, because this is something I'm familiar with and just sorta ticks me off

  22. freeballer on CoS Bigwig Likens Wikipedia Ban to Nazis' Yellow Star Decree · · Score: 1

    I think thats perfect for scientoligy and should perhaps be some sorta confirmation in all other entries before changes are made... or at least some of them that inspire such a debate. As for comparing them to the jews and normal people as nazis here's the thing; yes, I am atheist... Yes, I think alot of stories of bible are nuts but not as nuts as half the stuff I know about scientology. I listen, watch, or read anything on them and the idea of a jewis carpenter walking on water, healing people and dying and comming back seems totally sane and rational to me.. In fact you could tell me the moon conspiracy, bigfoot and lock-ness are real, you have proof and elvis is behind them all and I'd still think you were a million times saner.

    Anyways. Rant done, good job on blocking them
    Probably a good idea to do this with all organized religion, cult or anything else with such conflict
    Take care

They are already gone, as for multi-program, backgrounding.. I think it was idiotic for apple not to include even a limited running app version in fw v3 (maybee only allow 2-3 apps at a time) you all are still getting nearly free long distant/voip on an ipod/iphone...
