    How about for people like me who have never heard of MacSlash, let alone read it.

    Not true.
    They are/were in a legal dispute with The MCdonald. The Head of the McDonald Clan in Bonnie Scotland. Hmm, I wonder where the name CAME from?
    o in closing, yep McDonalds are just as evil.
    They even have a lawsuit agains a Sottish sandwich shop, called McMunchies.
    They're McBastards(tm)

  5. Re:Trespassing? on eBay Sues Auction-Indexer · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be a more accurate analogy:

    If I had a big electronic billboard on the side of my house, that normally displays my address, but has some buttons under it, which when pressed cause different messages to be displayed. Could you make someone stop reading the default (address) message, probably not. Could you get a court order to stop them pressing the buttons? I guess the buttons are easily reachable from the footpath. Hmm, interesting.

    Isn't this more appropriate? As the viewer actually has to query the server....

    errm that was a typo, he meant to say MS support GAVE us no help.
    If you'd read the rest of dante's posts you'd have rememberd him saying "We called microsoft support and they were no help" (words to that effect anyhow..)


  10. Re:Guns vs Cars on Teen Sued for /Linking/ to MP3s · · Score: 1

    Yup, bout the same as what I was going to say.
    theres not many good reasons to drive a car in the city, most people are just too selfish to give up their car. 'Busses are bad, because you have to sit with poor people, who can't afford cars.'

  16. Apple - upgrade hell on How to Destroy Your Computer · · Score: 1

    Hah!
    Ever try installing ram in a 9500?
    First you need a flathead to open the case, then you must remove every single pci card (not easy in a fully loaded Pro-tools system) and the processor daughterboard.
    Then you have to unplug all the cables to the logic board (motherboard to the rest of us)and remove the fiddly little plastic assembly that holds the leds and power button (i think you need apple authorised fingers to do it properly).
    Then you use a philips head screwdriver to unscrew the logicboard, and slimpy slide it out (harder than it sounds, (lots a little plastic clippy things))
    Then you pop in the ram, and do it all backwards to re-assemble.
    Remove the motherboard to upgrade the ram. Someone was thinking.......
