    I wasn't aware windows made it past beta. Sure, Microsoft kept saying that it was ready for producting/public use... but it sure isn't/wasn't true.

    It's just how language works.

    You know all those guys who keep saying that the term 'Hacker' actually means something other that the public perception of a hacker? (And that isn't actually a negative word?) .. well, the usage of the word has evolved, and someone should tell those guys that they're not important enough to change the definition.

    ... right, so the US is using socialist policies to fix it?

    I don't think so. I think someone has finally realized that the good ole USA can't rely on capitalism and constant bull economies to keep it on top. It has to switch to a sustainable model... like the rest of the world.

    Thank goodness, too. Those darn americans were starting to think they were invincible, and that they could invade anywhere, for no reason!

    Sadly, this reminds me of 'don't copy that floppy'. And it is just as 'kool'... *sigh*

    ... except, it isn't like making your own clothes. It is signing up at go-daddy, or something equally cheap, and using google apps as a backend.

    a proper email from a custom domain looks classy, from anywhere.

    Actually, I was saying that the children who use linux get what they deserve - it isn't exactly a user-friendly OS when you've switched from OSX, or have unsupported firmware, or use beta versions of things...

    I have both a yahoo and google domain for my email, and I don't feel ashamed by it.

    .. yes, but you should feel ashamed. A domain is what, $10 a year? For $10 you avoid looking childish... I'd say it is worth it...

    annnnnd ... who says you can't do that? I didn't read anything about not being able to access the download - just not being able to download it again if you lose it. Which is just like iTunes.

    yes, so ... let us discuss the realities of renting a movie. You're talking about the entire rental business from end to end... Which is a different topic all together.

    So, yeah... thanks for coming out, but next time get your argument in line with the discussion.

    Here's an idea - don't like it, don't buy it. Sony isn't forcing you to download videos... just rent it at blockbuster, or mininova ;)

  13. Re:Apple do the same.. on Playstation 3 Video DRM Only Allows One Download · · Score: 1

    actually, you can back this up the same way you back up iTunes purchases - you just have to record to video stream. It is exactly the same as copying an apple AAC file to cd, and then re-ripping it as .mp3, or copying it to another hard drive and having to authenticate it over there, too.

    and often the video store ends up selling that off at discount.

    .. We're not discussing that. We're discussing the fact that it *is* a rental, not the fact that the physical object get sold at a later point in time. Thanks for coming out, though.

    This was just High School ROTC and we covered things like war crimes and how saying "I was just following orders" is not an excuse.

    America follows laws against war-crimes? You wouldn't know it... Or do they only apply to low-level soldiers?

    Can one of you physicists tell me how 4.5 Kelvin is different from 2 Kelvin, operationally?

    IANAP, but I'm sure that it makes a really big difference at a really small level.

    Hope that clears things up for you.

  20. Re:Why the tone in the summary? on LHC Shut Down By Transformer Malfunction · · Score: 1

    In short, I don't really think this has much in common with your 'little accelerator' at all.

    ... actually, if you have 'little' problems with a 'little' accelerator, why would you expect 'little' to 'none' problems with a BIG accelerator?

    Besides, if it was a big deal, they would have made it a big deal. As it stands, it is only being fixed because it could become a PR headache - not because it is a big deal.

    and this is coming from someone who plans what games to buy months in advance and is normally too cheap to buy more than a game every few months.

    sounds like you need a psp, and/or a Wii.
