This is a very interesting idea, but my concern is how the campus book stores will take it. They have a legal monopoly on cheap books for students, but are they protected by any laws? Is there anything that says nobody can sell books to students that cheap?
There is also the issue of software liscences being bought/sold.
I should have known better:) Not only have you taken down my site, but you have also gotten my account shut off. im talking to the guys now, so no big deal i guess. ill have to be a hell of a lot more careful in the future:)
also, http://www.harey-quinn.com/ is an unrelated site.
All this talk about how windows sucks and linux is eleet...
Screw linux. i just got my hands on the final candidate for Windows Me. Its awesome! Just as stable as Linux/win2k, as easy to use as win98, and supports Win9x/win2k drivers:D So now all of my hardware works, my computer doesnt crash, and i dont have to read through millions of pages of ambiguous "man" pages to get it to work!
so im sure you wouldnt mind if someone was using *your* bandwidth that *you* pay for, to spam everyone they can find? well go ahead and set up an open relay smtp on your network, and ill do my best to use all of your bandwidth.
I want free beer. I deserve free beer. Any company that has the audacity to charge me for beer is evil, and needs to be taken down. Non-free beer imposes on my rights. In fact, I would rather drink free watered down piss than non-free beer.
As an american, it is my right to free beer. This is why I am starting the Free Beer Movement. Help me take down the evil companies and governments that would charge you for beer.
It's a simple matter of realizing that certain tools work fine at their job. My screwdriver works great, I really don't need Windows or Linux running it for me. And while scanners are slightly different, I think it comes down to the same basic issues. If you use Windows, and it does what you need it to do, then why change?
I'm a huge lover of Linux. I'm a geek. But my main computer runs Windows. Why? Because of alot of things. Time being the biggest. I don't have time to learn Gimp. Why bother? Photoshop works great and I know it. mIRC works great, MS Office works great, Quake 3 runs great, and, god forbid, IE works great. Maybe I'm among the lucky few that doesn't have that many problems with it, but Windows usually runs stable for me.
Yeah I could use WINE or whatnot, but why bother? If it aint broke, why fix it? The same applies to scanner drivers. Why should they spend time writing or paying for linux drivers when the windows drivers are either already there or easier to get?
Linux is great, but it's not the only solution. It's an operating system, not a religion. You will never see a doctor using a jackhammer on a cancer patient just because jackhammers are cooler than scalpals(sp). Don't crucify them for thinking outside of the linux box.
Feel free to moderate me down for thinking independantly.
A while back, a friend of mine worked at CompUSA (american computer superstore) as a greeter. Every day he would greet people as they came in and help them if they needed it. One day, a woman with sunglasses and a dog came in, and asked if he would help her around the store. John (my friend) was a little confused, as the woman was obviously blind.
They talked for a minute and he asked a fwe questions, trying to figure out who the computer was for. He came to the conclusion that it was for her.
He was helping her around the store when curiosity finally overwhelmed him, and he had to ask her why a blind person was in a computer store buying hardware. As it turned out, everything we do, she did. She was a computer geek. She was even a programmer. I'm not sure whether or not she installed her own hardware:)
She used voice commands for everything. Including writing code.
This point of this diatribe is to point out that while the keyboard and mouse may be fine for you, there are those who need the software to be productive.
I don't know perl or apache very well, but I would like to set up a/.-like site with/code. Are there any good HOWTOs out there? Almost anyone can do difficult things with a good HOWTO to help them along.
In the spirit of DeCSS, someone should burn a copy of the disk before returning, and spread the ISO. Sure, the ISO would be much larger, but it would serve the same purpose, and someone will probably want this bad enough to spend the time.
Side note: Is this a CD or a DVD? If it is a CD, will it be simple to make a copy/ISO? Or if it is a DVD, can someone just rip the files?
This is a bit of a blow for those of you following all of the stuff with DVD/RIAA/MPAA/DeCSS/Whatever other series of meaningless letters you want.
But I think that this is more about their standing with CSS or whoever, than public image or actually caring who watches which DVD where.
From what I know about the 'hack' (very little), it didn't seem like it was supposed to be found at all, or at least not as publically announced as it has been.
Which raises an interesting question: could/. be partially responsible for this? Could the unintentional whistleblowing have thrown a wrench in Sony's plan to slip this one past the grownups until the heat was off? I would hate to think so, but it seems possible.
Then again, what do I know?

Oh my gawd, this is the most horrible thing I have ever seen. This even beats out the nasty crime scene photos my friend sends me.
Now, I'm not one to critisize the way people look, but this is beyond ugly. I can only hope to Christ that the photos were doctored.
thanks:) I actually heard the song again yesterday for the first time in a while. I tried hard to complete what my sig started, but most of it was just crap:) If I had a lyric sheet, I could probably do better.
My girlfriend loves TuX. She knows very little about Linux, and probably couldn't tell a shell prompt from a DOS prompt, but she knows that a penguin has something to do with it.
I have two of the 36inch stuffed TuXes from linuxmall. She loves to hug them:)
Slashdot Mirror
Never mind my 1600x1200 resolution at 100 frames per second against TVs 640x480 with 30 frames per second.
Other than that, though, I'm sure the psx2 will whoop up on my pc.

How about Ganja AiNt JavA ?
It was an honest question. I seriously would like to know if such a product exists. If you know of one, please contact me.
Yes, but being the HUGE Kevin Smith fan that i am. i would gladly pay to see a film of his
It's like the GNU/Coke. It'll be around forever.

theres a semi-hidden porn section on harleyquinn.com
just click around in the upper left hand corner
so now i have to buy new hardware just to run linux? damn, windows likes my current hardware just fine. i think ill stick with windows
So all of the stuff MS gave us for free, we will now have to pay for? Thanks, U.S. Government!

Thanks Microsoft! You finally got one right!

my site is anti-spam
if there is a sign on the door of the theater or venue stating that all screams are property of the screamer, this would be a different story.

They are "already there" because you paid for them
Who ever said I *paid* for my software. I'll have you know that I never pay for software. Before I was a computer manufacturer, I was a warez pup.
Thank you. If you didn't say it, I would have.

As for the exercise, theres always masturbation.

I'm guessing that if *I* can buy CD-R's for pennies apiece, SONY can print these and eat the cost without being all that damaged.
