USA is like this too. Check into Fair Use laws. Actually, they may be called something else, but, yes, it is perfectly legal to make copies of stuff as long as you are not proffiting off of it.
This article seemed extreamely biased to me. Although the writter did not come straight out and say that VGS is bad, it was diffenately along the lines that Sony said this and Sony said that. Basically, there are several things that the article failed to take into consideration.
The main thing is that VGS and Bleem are used by an extreamely small share of the market. Playstation is not going to be phased out by Bleem or VGS. Bleem is extreamely buggy, and its compatability low. Trust me, I have it. VGS has a much higher compatability, but does not offer enhanced graphics and stuff. And frankly, who wants to play on your 15 inch monitor when you got a 36 inch TV in the living room for the Playstation? Actually, I do. But I am the exception, not the rule. I bought Bleem just to play Gran Turismo and Spyro. These companies are not digging into Sony's profits in anyway that is probobly hurting Sony.
We need to be able to recoup the cost of piracy, just as we do now for blank tapes and CDR's.
Actually, you are refering to CDRMusic. The RIAA does not get a cut out of CDRs, which is why you can buy a 50 pack spindle of CDRs for $30, but an individual CDRMusic costs upwards of $5 each. The stand alone audio cd recorders will not work with CDRs.
Also, if you are making audio CDs on a PC, the CDRMusics seem to skip less in portable CD devices
Now, if I was still leaching songs, I have no problem paying $4.95 a month. However, I have most of the songs I want now (nearing 2500), and I just leave Napster open 24/7 for people to leech off of me. I do not think it is right to pay $4.95 a month if I am not downloading.
Something else to take into consideration is the difference in users, you have some tha have a total of 3 MP3s, and those who have 3,000. Is it right to charge someone the same price who is just looking for one song as the guy who sets here and downloads faster than he can listen to them? Hmmm. Actually, some will say $4.95 is not bad. Truthfully, it isn't. And it is a steal for people who download hundreds at a time, like I use to. However, I would say, to heck with it, I got my alt.binaries.sounds.mp3 newsgroups!
Have you guys ever heard of a grammer check? Seriously, it took me like 30 seconds just to make sense out of the title to this post, then timothy's links were absolutely horrible in grammer. Drink more Mountain Dew, timmy.
Man, finally a rendering of Meowth that looks good. Luigi looks absolutely awsome, isn't this the first time we have seen him since Super Mario World? He was missing from Mario 64. It looks like Luigi from the Super Mario cartoon show 3d-rendered, really cool. The effects on the ghost also look nice. Link looks real similar to what he did in Zelda: Ocania of Time, but the depth is deffinately there. I do have a problem of pictureing Link with an earring, though. I didn't get to see the movie, the sight is deffinately experiencing the slashdot effect, at least it hasn't completely crippled the site.
on being the first site to stand up to being slashdotted. That and being able to squeeze a ton of stuff into a small flash file, that actually works in Flash for Linux.
Okay, I have several comments on this rulling.
First, what does Napster have to do with Digital Television? Is it really forseen to be a problem that people will videotape programs off of Television and distribute them on the Internet? Well, maybe so, it is being done already. But this is normally because certain channels are not available in certain markets. This is the only way I can view SouthPark in my area, without going Satelite, and is handy for viewing missed episodes of Voyager, and as for Buffy, can't get it at all out here without, once again, going Satelite.
2) The reason consumers are so slow to adopt Digital Television is because television sets are so high in price, lack of digital broadcast channels, and and confusion by coustomers. If I get a digital Television that is not widescreen, does that give me the inability to recieve widescreen programming? Can I still use my old VCR, and likewise. As for programming, in the summer I live in the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex, and there are only two HDTV channels there, NBC and ABC. NBC broadcasts the local news in HDTV, but not in Widescreen, and seem to be overcompressing the signal. It looks like crap. Seems to be from converting analog into digital. Little things such as text bleeding, edges unclear and pixelated, and likewise. The ABC station is much better, but currently their broadcast consists of the local news, anything ABC decides to broadcast in HDTV, such as Monday Night Football, and HDTV demonstration programs, which are mostly tours of the WFAA television studios, Nature programs, and a couple of other programs. These are repeated all the time, never any variaty. And yes, they pick up regular television signals, but why would you pay three times the price of a regular television when the only short term forseeable advantage is better picture from your DVDs?
3) Why would you make a television that was cable-only compatable? Funney, but I know that there are several cable stations already offering Digital Signals, such as Discovery Channel, but local cable companies are refusing to carry them. So, in reality, you are making a television that is nothing compatable, and are going to slap a $7500 price tag on it. Yes, watch the consumers come flying!
4) Everyone has a VCR nowdays, and assumes that they can tape shows off of television for later use. I mean, you pay $9.95 a month anyways for HBO, and now you mean that I cannot even tape shows off of it? Sounds more like people will start abandoning premium cable and start investing more in DVDs and Digital VHS, unless you are just one of those persons who watch HBO all the time.
5) I mentioned earlier that the lack of consumers is because of the lack of programming. However, the lack of programming steams from the lack of coustomers. Likewise, the price of these new television sets are affected by low quantity, and the low quantity is partly affected by low consumer demand, which leads back to lack of broadcast channels and high prices. In Programming, we call this an Infinate Loop.
6) Anyone remember the Digital Millenium Copyright Laws? Probobly not directly related to this case. The video tape laws of the 70s are probobly better related. 'Nuff said.
You know, I really have to ask about the marketing people at the FCC. Now that I think of this, they don't have any. Any good marketing person can say that if your item is not selling as well as you hoped, despite a fairly strong coustomer intrest, you do not add restrictions or take away features. Probobly why the electronic makers are in such uproar.
This is from their page:
Laptop, desktop, notebook, mini-computers or any type of electronic equipment must be shipped in FedEx laptop packaging or other approved FedEx packaging. In lieu of FedEx-approved packaging, manufacturer's original packaging is recommended, or call our Packaging Design and Development Department at (800)633-7019. NOTE: FedEx Small, Medium or Large Boxes must not be used for shipment of laptop computer equipment.
Sounds like a winner to me.
I could see nothing on that site limited cities in Russia, it just said that transit time to the Russian Federation is 3-6 days. May want to check it out.
Someone probobly already mentioned this, but why can a guy go out and patent a web page design, but AOL hass FCC looking at them for pattening software or something.
Not ALL DVDs have been encoded, the Bubblegum Crisses by Anime-Ego, Beyond The Mind's Eye, and Tekken are examples of DVDs that do not have CSS on them. I know this because of using a DXR2 in Linux, you have to pass a command to the program to get it to do the CSS stuff. AnimeEgo could release something like Mobile Suite Gundam, not encode the DVD in CSS, and flash the code up for a split second or something. Or encode it some other way.
Also, the CSS encoding on a DVD is just for playing the VOB files, however, you can still read other files on the Disc without having to do CSS authintication. Back when I was a Windows hugger (thank god, no more), I got Encarta 98 DVD before I ever got a decoder card, and could still use the encyclopedia on my dvd-rom, although I could not view the videos. Then again, those videos are not encoded on Encarta's disc either.
Don't see a problem with it, or maybe I missed something. From what I read, the ads are specifically on the school pages, not like Juno or something. The school gets a free intranet out of it, and its not like you notice webpage adds anymore. Slashdot has adds, doesn't annoy me. So what if someone wants to put adds on a school's website? It is not like www.hsutx.edu is a place I spend a lot of time at. I like many of the ideas that the system does. I have not seen it in action, but sounds like a good deal for everyone involved.
I deffinately agree that site layout is public domain. I mean, lets say that I was the one who created the first romance comedey. I created the layout, characters, screenplay, etc. Does this mean that I have the right to sue such and such movie for also creating a romance comedy with a different plot and different characters? Of course not, that is absurd. What if Elvis, the undisputed king of Rock'n'Roll, decided that he was going to sue everyone after him who made songs that were in the Rock'n'Roll genera. Once again, that is absurd. So what if I do a news page similar to slashdot, but not using the slash code. It is not the same page, not the same content, not the same code, just similar idea. Would slashdot sue me for that?
You can see what I am getting at. Anyone who tries to patent a page design is nuts, and the patent office is even more nuts for granting them. I ought to just move to Noraway or Finland or something where they could care less about US patents and copyright laws and such.
I saw Mac OS X Server for sale 2 weeks ago at Fry's electronics in Arlington, TX. Why would they be selling it BEFORE the beta even comes out? Something is not right here.
David Boyes, a consultant who works with the S/390, managed to boot 41,500 Linux servers on one mainframe. Although he notes that you may not be able to run that many in real life.;) (if someone can find an actual link for this, please post it) The Auguest issue of Maximum Linux has an article about this very thing. This is old news by now.
8) SETI@Home cruncher 9) I am my own team for the Distributed Net challenge 10) Maybe I can finally fix the code to Unreal. Maybe not 11) Put it in the closet? My patch pannel is in there! 12) Keep MIT dorm rooms cool in Winter. 13) Surprise, Windows doesn't run. 14) CPUs out? Who put the Mountain Dw too close to the machine. 15)This article is already 4 days old. DO I honestly feel that anyone is going to read my post?
Okay, I admit the first screen had me suckered. However, wouldn't it be cool if someone really invented a system where we could go around a REAL house on a shooting frenzy or something? Thinking Quicktime VR combined with Quake 3 engine here. Add monsters of girls who turned you down in HS, your old shop teacher, that professor of that evil core class in college who failed you just because you didn't turn in homework because your mind does not work in that way to be able to do the homework, etc. Add in Barney, a few Teletubbies, and the Bill Gates boss, and you have a blockbuster. Oh, and on top of that, add in the stuff from Duke Nukem 3D where you can step in the carcus of dead monsters and track blood. Ever used an RPG on a monster on the space station when they were in one of those automatic doors? Everytime the door opens, you see this flesh/blood thing stretch. I want to see that in other games as well. Add Netplay, CTF, and Team Fortress, and we have instant hit!
I like the phrase "Participation is voluntary" and how they only open membership up to customers, shareholders, employees, alumni, and partners. Oh, I am totally for the freedom to innovate, but if inovating consists of stealing, copying, buying out other companies, monopolizing the market, exploiting, pateniting open technologies, and such, than I want no part of it. I like how they keep stressing that membership is "free" and how they will not sell your information unless you ask them to. How can you call yourself a non-profit organization if you are selling information? Also, you will notice that it is Business Reply Mail. And the guy did say he picked it up at the Microsoft booth. This confuses me, is M$ trying to claim that they are a non-profit organization? I will tell you what would be funnier is if this really was a real organization and stuff. I mean, at least if its not, we can all laugh at it, but if it is, we can laugh at the tens of people who actually sign up for this.
Okay, I am probobly going to get a score of -1 for this, or get edited down, but that is okay. First, is there an MPEG, AVI or Quicktime version of this movie available? I have a 33.6 modem, and frankly, Real Player is not the greatest streaming format on the planet. I would love to be able to grab that 300k ASF file, but it seems to only want to stream. An overnight download would be fine for me. Now, to flame the poster. Man, grow up. So Apple hasn't released Quicktime for Linux. Like the video players that are out there are anygood. The dxr2 player for linux is fine, but xanim is a joke, Real Player for Linux is buggy and choppy, plus the G2 codec SUCKS, and there is almost no video accelleration that I know of for any video card in Linux. Yes, Linux is a great OS, but I don't think I would hug it to the point that I will go all off on having to reboot into another OS to run software. And if you are playing Diablo 2, as these people claim you are, then get a life, get IE or Mozilla, get your modem working in Windows, and stop being a troll by not posting about great movies simply because the file is in a format not supported by Linux.
Apparently I am not the only one to have seen this. Of course, Bad 2 really takes the cake. Perhaps you remember lines like "Trust me, this song is in English. No REally, it is in English". Or maybe the line like "If I were a Real Girl, Kenny and I would be more than just friends. Yes, and we all know what rabbits are famous for". Of course, if you think that is bad, you should see NegaVISON's spoof of Sailor Moon: Cruise Blues. The line, "In the name of the moon, I am in a Kinky outfit" kills me every time. Of course, not ALL dubbed Anime is bad. Pokemon is Extreamely good (of course, the Japanese is still better), Tekken the movie is better than the original, and Sailor Moon S is better than the Dic Dubs, of course, it still leaves a lot to be desired. At least they replaced the VA for Sailor Moon and kept the original Japanese music and sound effects.
