Is this really any different than obtaining a record that shows what numbers called someone? That is and has been common practice for quite a while without too many people complaining.

The parent post makes a good point. We don't have all of the information yet. Ask almost anyone who has a sibling and they will tell you that kids are very likely to bend the truth if they think it will benefit them. I'm not saying none of it happened, but all we have for evidence is the father of this student. Could the kid have fudged the truth a little? Yes. Did he? Who knows.
You would think ad companies would realize this. Most sports and racing games have people who put ads where they belong in each stadium/track. Check out just about any game by EA sports, people create addons that give the game realistic shoes and such. It obvious that some portions of the gaming community would actually welcome such ads as long as they are realistically done
Thats right the democratic congress passed larger budgets than the presidents submitted for every year from 1980-1992. Finally the republican congress was able to bring the bufget under control.
And if you think that christianity is a key issue to most republicans you are mistaken.
I'm not sure you have a valid argument here. The worst violence I ever witnessed in school was the odd punch up. This is because in the country I lived in as a tenager it is LEGAL to possess HANDGUNS.
Now I'm just pointing out a flaw in your argument. I'm pretty sure that gun ownership played little or no role in the violence levels at my school. I think thos posters who have pointed out that there is no single cause for school shootings are probably right. To blame gun ownership as a cause for school shootings is absurd.
Perhaps we should also be punishing parents who don't take proper measures to keep their firearms out of the hands of children. Easy access to guns is the issue not ownership of guns. It is already illegal for these children to possess these guns
But there is a difference. Previously I could listen to my team's games while out of town using the internet. I was never able to get the same service as the NFL season ticket where you can watch any NFL game at home. So they are charging for something I used to be able to get for free.
I've used a similar system in the states. Bank of America offers this serice where you can put X amount of money on a card (from your checking account) and it can then be used as a regular Visa credit card anywhere. Works good for relatives who you regularly send cash to for birthday, christmas, etc...
So what happens if the item you order is backordered? I've had products ship over a month after I've ordered them before. An example would be a preorder of a product that has a delayed release. Does Amex offer a workaround for this?
How is this so different from the MUDS that have been around for years that are open sourced? Cheating is usually easy to spot and can be dealt with by the server admin.
Current case law would make you wrong. It is illegal to rip your CDs to non-approved devices. Such devices include things like computer hard drives. Pretty stupid if you ask me, but nobody ever said the law makes sense. You also have no right to get copyrighted material off napster. It doesn't matter that you own the CD already. I'm not defending the law, just reporting it. In fact I don't really have a problem with your uses of napster. I've done the exact same thing. But just because I don't have see any ethical problem with it doesn't make it legal.
If you have the CD is it really that hard to burn it yourself? The legality on ripping CDs may be questionable, but it is a much more defensible position than trading on napster. Anyone who thinks that trading of copyrighted material on napster is legal needs to read a little copyright law.
That's a really good idea. If people really support napster as a means of legally trading music they should support such a system. Of course that assumes that most people mean it when they say they only use napster for legal music swapping.
Unless something has changed all planes have either barometric or radio altimeters which are the primary means of determining altitude. Autopilot controlled landings use these in conjunction with radio signals to determine the approach path. So while this might be an inconvenience I strongly doubt it would cause any planes to crash.>br>
Your crime stats may be right, but blaming it on a concentrated population is absurd. Austin is definitely sprawling. Just listen to a few of the overzealous greens around town (note, that is overzealous greens, I have no problem with the green party, though I do disagree with some of their views). Why did lightrail fail in Ausin? Sprawl was a big part, it's awfully hard to convince the majority of the population that didn't perceive any benefits from lightrail.
I also happen to know a number of law enforcement officers in the area and none of them have a "texas-ranger" attitude towards crime. Please give them some credit. They have a dangerous job and get paid crap.
Of course people should do some research on any neighborhood they might move into, but that applies anywhere in the world. I did mine and don't know of a crime of any type happening in my neighborhood since I moved here five years ago.
I'm not sure what you have against Austin, but tone down the rhetoric a little. I know there are some bad points to austin, just like every other city.
I will agree that this is a somewhat odd idea, but you can select individual packages. Not to mention it does a somewhat decent job picking the most important packages.
Try emusic.com, I'm happy with it for $9.95/month for unlimited mp3s. Doesn't have all the major labels, which doesn't really concern me, and they keep adding new labels all the time. It's easy, it's fast, and it's cheap. They also have a MP3 users rights page which should be acceptable to a number of slashdot readers. They might still have their free trial going on, but I'm not sure.
Shortly after I signed up with RR I contacted them concerning servers. I was told that it was ok to run "personal" servers. They defined personal as a server that only I would use. Something like a FTP or HTTP server that I would use to get documents while at work. Their argument was that they don't want outside users using their network's bandwidth. They also said that they would take action if users were using excessive upstream bandwidth (6GB/month was the number I was told) I can understand this argument in a business sense. So unless things have changed you can run servers as long as they aren't accessed by outside users.

I think they now ship koffice and several of the gnome apps (gnumeric and such). They also ship klyx and abiword for word processing

You can usually request a birth certificate from the hospital you were born at. I wouldn't say it is exactly irreplaceable.

It actually appears that the school had called the police before the situation was explained.

If the DVD player is in a computer there is probably a way to disable macrovision in software. Look for macrovision hacks on google

I hate to nitpick, but Good Will Hunting was on network TV this past week.
This just in...
After an exhaustive search of the street corners on my block I am pleased to report that I have found no evidence of gun toting crack dealers.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming
Or give enough money to some democrats...
Read the release. They say they will release Mandrake binaries (among others) soon.
