Thats why whenever you read anything you restrain those kneejerk reactions and attempt to understand the nuances of the situation. If the headline really must be revised i would make it shorter. Yours is accurate and concise but probably wouldn't fit in Newsreaders designed for short headlines (at least it wouldn't fit mine)
how about
Google's Street View Faces Legal Complications in France
not exactly interesting but as short, neutral and politically correct as i can manage.
No where does it say that Google expects immunity to french laws. The summary says it will have to edit them to comply with french laws. Meaning there is an impediment to the publishing. A resistance to publishing. Now if they don't edit the photos then you can object and I encourage you to but right now your just beating your patriotic chest. And theres nothing wrong with that, though i don't understand how thats +5 insightful.
No it shouldn't be new retail value. It should be how much you can find the product for out in the wild, and thats it. No "Extra Damages" no "potential losses" no bonus multipliers, Just the cost straight out of the market. And that includes second hand.
What about combustion reactions. IF (big if) i did my calculations right the burning of the hindenberg (assuming all the gas burned) created about 9 cubic meters of water.
Because of the power of organization. Organizations help you survive and thusly reproduce. The strongest organizations are filled with people able to cooperate and work fairly together.
4. He is apparently unaware of the RIAA equation, "whoever is associated with the IP address" = "the defendant" = "the infringer". He is assuming the RIAA lawyers conduct themselves like real lawyers. I agree you probably right about that. But I'd like to know how after all the shady and off color things these lawsuits have been shown to use, how he's not aware that this needs more scrutiny than the average bear. If he really is ignorant that's kinda frightening
Wow this kind of sensationalism is just mind boggling and faith shattering. I can't believe it. The SWORDS "robot" isn't automated.
It doesn't have the ability to acquire targets by itself.
It doesn't have the ability to fire without a human pulling the trigger for it.
It can't even move without a human at the controls.
It's remote controlled car with a gun attached to it. What happened was most likely one of two things.
1)Human Error. The guy at the controls accidentally moves the gun two far and ends up pointing at someone its not supposed to an obvious big no no. And when asked if he made a mistake denied it.
2) Mechanical Failure. It is entirely possible some mechanical error caused it. Now either it was one error or multiple ones. IF its one error its probably not dangerous because you'd have to be incredibly dull to connect the movement and firing systems so that its failure would be so "deadly"
If its multiple errors then either someones a cheap-ass or someone wasn't taking care of their equipment properly. Maybe mistreatment/misuse of equipment maybe just a lack of appropriate maintenance, either way neglected equipment will crap out on you unexpectedly. Big surprise.
Basically something "unexpected" happened with the Army's armed remote control car. Treating it like it commited premeditated murder (or even hurt someone for that matter) is pure yellow journalism and FUD. Turned on its fleshy masters my ass.
Yes Xp is based off NT. But the previous nt os was released in 2000 too (hence windows 2000). And before xp they had (i assume) 2 teams working on the two respective lines. Now they only have NT and should be able to accelerate the process on it, doubly so for botching vista so bad.
Hell the MS coders are probably working overtime just to appease the great chair chucker.
Why is it every single comment i read seem to think this is so impossible? It seems to ME that last time a windows version bombed they put out another quite quickly. What was that version called, let ME think. Yes most releases are every three years, but a cursory (less than 30 sec) shows they released XP a year after ME.
No No your looking at it all wrong. Your right this trend does lead to many sickly amoeba sheep. However we've seen this trend, and can not do all the stupid things the cause it. And then you'll end up with a super child. One child to rule them all.
Having been in a high school algebra class not to long ago i have to say there are a lot of kids, where it not that it hasn't yet hooked up, its that its not going to.
But theres a trick to that. You get everyone to stand in groups of two really close together and it looks like a half as many fat people watching it. Call it the close friend discount.:)
So we shouldn't try because big time companies haven't already created the technology....
Thats it hand over your Geek card and for that matter your Man card too. You just said we shouldn't try to build something bigger, better, faster, stronger, longer, harder, tougher, etc because big business hasn't done it for us already. Next your going to tell me that no one should bother with Linux because it can't be better because Microsoft would have already invented/included all the features in it.
Just no.
There's one problem if comcast is using this logic.
The FCC explicitly classified cable (in 2002) and DSL (in 2005) ISPs as "information services" rather than "telecommunications services" in order to remove any doubt that they were common carriers. And They're saying who can't touch them?
If you said something like this to your DM(dnd) you get the Tarrasque if they're nice or Deities and Demigods if they're not.
If you tell this to your Storyteller you get the Week of Nightmares/6th Great Maelstrom
If you tell this to your Gm(d20 modern) you get a nuclear toxyderm or maybe something creative out d20 apocalypse.
Please feel free to add any analogies i might have missed/forgottern

Yes and i bet the dollar would be worth more if we didn't spend oh so many billions on some war
Ah but you forget he's not only a jackass wannabe cowboy, he's a big oil connected jackass wannabe cowboy

I thought there were maintenance fees for copyrights that left unpaid could invalidate a copyright.
I hope to god your right cause i would love for MS to fight the ISPs for the bandwidth and speed to download said hd content.

So it would be Protection Against the NSA. That might be nice.

That and no country has the capacity to incarcerate even a fraction of all their stupid people.
So that means the price will go back down if/when the dollar regains some of its value right?
Now this person is hardcore. He don't even bother asking for lube.
A recursive reality show... That's so wonderfully geeky yet incredibly slimy and nasty all at the same time.
But theres a trick to that. You get everyone to stand in groups of two really close together and it looks like a half as many fat people watching it. Call it the close friend discount. :)
at the very end of the article it says this might make studios rethink their position and give HD-DVD a chance...
NO bad dog NO *gacks slysoft with newspaper*
