I went to the site. I looked at a couple pages full of song. NO WHERE could I find a link where I could listen to a snippet of any of the music I viewed. Could you lend a hand and provide some urls, if you can, please?
but it's missing something. What I'd like to see most is snippets of the songs, so I might be able to sample what a band sounds like before dropping my cash into. I can see it now: Pay $0.99, listen to the song, decide it sucks, try a different song, pay the $0.99 to listen, lather, rinse, repeat. Not that appealing.
Really, man. I love the game, wish I had a tenth of a centavo for every minute I've ever wasted playing it, but it's bleedin' addictive. Last night, I was running around as a barbarian, had worked my way up to 10th level with 18/02 strength, had found a magic lamp and wished up Stormbringer, was doing pretty damned well, killing everything in sight with 1-2 whacks, and was feeling pretty invincible, when all of a sudden up pops a mumak and *WHAP*! Scratch yet another dead critter.
Really, this is just MS's Xmas gift to the Open Source Software movement. They've shot themselves in the toes too many times to count so far. Now they've shot themselves in the kneecap; next shot will be to the head.
Yeppers. I recommend it everywhere I go. Even confronted the software company that hooked my present boss on his stupid MS/.NET/IIS solution about MS abandoning further development on IE other than plugging the holes, dutch boy style, and what their plans were as to provide support for alternate browsers. His answer, of course, was that we could pay for that type of development if we really wanted it. I'll keep pushing the boss that after the six month trial is up, we abandon this one and find someone who's got an Open Source solution, or let me roll my own.
Does not a turn-around make. Just because MS sees a possible investment opportunity doesn't mean that this is them taking steps to fix their broken software. Ever think this might just be an attempt to cash in on their problems??
Yep, I agree. Trailers are informative. I see enough Pepsi ads on billboards, on tv, hear them on the radio, in newspapers, magazines, etc. I can understand promoting a product but c'mon, don't these big companies have enough exposure already? I can't picture going anywhere in the developed countries in the world and finding people who *don't* know what the hell Pepsi or any other big name brand item is.
Really, man. I'm wondering why we don't simply drop their router blocks into a blackhole and let them live inside their own private Chinese Intranet. It's not like they depend much on the Internet outside their own country, right?
We're socked in with nothing but clouds now for the last three days straight. I look like Jack Nicholson in 'The Shining,' and my paranoia has the best of me right now. Say "hello" to Mr. Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Trust me, it will. I can predict how it's going to go:
Chysler attorney: Your honor, they sent the letter to our old corporate headquarters address, which is now a vacant field in Highland Park between I-75 and Highland Avenue. We never received it. In fact, we didn't know if its existence until they filed suit.
Judge: Decision in favor of plantiff, case summarily dismissed with prejudice. Next case.
Don't forget the fact that SCO's letter to Chrysler was peppered with questions that were unrelated to the contract terms. Those questions involved detailing Chrysler's use of Linux to replace SCO's antiquated software, questions which have no relationship to the terms of the original Software License, and to which SCO had no right to even expect answers.
Again, this case was mostly about the hare-brained scheme that McBride and his cronies cooked up. Having been a litigious bastard in his own right, McBride thought that as soon as he started throwing the word "lawsuit" around, everyone subject to the threat would simply crumple up and pay SCO rather than fight back, and that other UNIX/Linux users would see this and pile on for the SCOSource licenses, thus leading to the huge pump on the stock price in anticipation of this seeming windfall.
Personally, I think McBride should turn back to his bag o' blow.
Never mind the fact that if one wanted to, one could turn a challenge-response set up into a harrassment tool. Send an email with a forged envelope header to one of these challenge-response systems and the reply goes to someone not involved -- in other words, someone gets spammed with an unwanted challenge-response message. Multiply that by dozens of attempts and the challenge-response part of the mechanism becomes just as bad as the initial spammer.
Nope, I'll stick to my multiple filters: private access list, dnsbls, content checker. Despite the high overhead that the OA seems to believe is necessary with content checking systems, I'm not seeing it here.
I've lurked and posted on Groklaw for a couple of years.
So, you've been there since before the beginning, huh? Groklaw's only been around since May or June 2003. Unfortunately, I have to go on my memory as archive.org has been blocked by their webmaster's preferences in the robots.txt file.
I saw a couple of people from Novell present at both Penguicon last April, at a Novell Introductory Linux course they put on in June and again at the Ohio InterLUG meet in October. These guys are on board, they're on the team, they're ON OUR SIDE! Really, man. The improvements they've made to Red Carpet alone...
My point exactly. We have to start someplace; hemming and hawing over shitty details about who's treated more fairly and who has to bear the burden of the problem are simply holding up the process.
India and China aren't currently producing the same amount of greenhouse gasses that USA and EU are currently producing. It's like comparing apples to oranges. India could never meet the USA's output due to its size; China isn't developed enough yet to produce, and with the steps that are being taken by China, they may never become as great a greenhouse gas producer as the US.
What the fuck with all this fairness shit? Live ain't fair, neither are greenhouse gases. Let's get on the stick about it and work out differences *later*!

Fishing for Phishers

· Score: 1
Where I bank, the online facility allows me to write a check to anywhere I damned well please. *That* is what scares me about these bank phishers. There are too many gullible sheeple out there that would fall for it and end up with empty bank accounts.
You obviously have read little of SCO's legal filings. From what I've read of the documents put forth by SCO's legal team, my 14-y/o son could have done a better job.
Poor grammar, typographical errors, baseless conclusions made in error, and outright lies seem to be the hallmark of a Boies et al legal filing.

Well, knowing how spineless they really are, no... at least not in my world they don't.

this seems pretty useless as the plugin only works with Windows and Mac, leaving Unix/Linux users in the lurch yet again. Same old same old.

Check that statement again, will ya?
It certainly wasn't PT Barnum who said that. Seems like I so often have to make this post to remind folks of such.
Yeah, I do. Go to Best Buy or Computer City or wherever it is you go to buy hardware and get a router. It's the only kind I trust.
So, you've been there since before the beginning, huh? Groklaw's only been around since May or June 2003. Unfortunately, I have to go on my memory as archive.org has been blocked by their webmaster's preferences in the robots.txt file.
It's called a router. It can be set to null route whole chunks of IP address space. Set it to forget where Microsoft is and forget it.

Nonsense.
