Point 1: You obviously don't understand how this works...:) you are correct, sir! I thought my clarification (IANALBMWISTBO) meant that heretofor be ignored as a raving moron!
Instead you get paperwork out the wazzo, all billed at 200 dollars an hour. Few companies, every the very rich are willing to even deal with it
How much paper work does it take for a law firm to send a letter saying "Dear Mr Novak. BRING IT THE FUCK ON. Mr. I Sue-you, esquire" He doesn't have a legal leg to stand on.
lets look at this case- this isn't about SONY who can TOTALLY write off $30mill or that there may be a technical point of merit, this is about Mr and Mrs domain name holder standing their ground. Novak is suing pro se, so defend yourself pro se. Counter sue pro se.
You won't have to argue in front of the judge, s/he will spend too much time ripping Novak a new one for this frivilous shit!
Yes lawyers are taught that going in front of a judge is the worst thing. But I can't imagine a lawyer saying "wow, this guy is filing all this stuff. I'm scared. Lets' settle!" I see them saying "this is so much bullshit, that I'm gonna try to take my fees directly out of Novak's ass."
Just becuase Novak files papers doesn't mean it will get past prima facia. You sit on your ass, you don't see 1 day in the court room.
First off- frobnitz is great- you can write in commonly used verbs and POOF they appear. You can also tap a word and your verbs show up around it... it does a great job of minimizing typing.
Second off- that damn stowaway- its awesome! Now I feel like a chump for buying one for $40!
Blow $40- keep your deluxe, play frobnitz- its a win-win!
IANALBMWISTBO, (I am not a lawyer, but my wife is studying to be one: Why does this deserve an acronym? becuase this makes me a VERY dangerous person to have a conversation about: I know just enough legal terms to sound like a pro to the unwashed masses, and to sound like a total moron to the bar association)
But here goes: SUMMARY JUDGEMENT. You can file suits till the cows come home... BUT WTF?! Summons, subpoena, discovery, WITH NO PRIMA FACIA CASE!
How is he gonna establish jurisdiction?! Suing google? Whatever- SECTION 11 of fed civil procedure for FRADULENTLY suing for defamation... and judges can fine people for filing frivilous suits!
Challenge this biatch and get him slapped the fuck down.
Despite years of my hard work and overtime and brown nosing, my wife has a job offer with a starting salary that would make you cry, and hasn't even graduated law school!
I'll tell you what the problem is, WHY AREN'T YOU IN LAW SCHOOL?!?!
P.S. don't forget about the bonus if you meet all your billable hours.
Did you even read it? probably not, it sure went on for pages and pages...Well for those who don't want to read it, they said "sharper isn't better so tweak down the contrast, use S-video, and monster cables are DAMN expensive but they can boost your peformance, so I guess its a cost benefit ratio that only you and your wallet can decide upon."
but it was fascinating for me- somehow I've been believing that sharper is better- when looked at side by side I liked the high contrast images the best. But I'll try some gaming and DVD'ing with the contrast turned down a bit.
Yep. Hint book. Best money I ever spent on such a thing. Granted, I was 12 and not very clever so HHGTTG played "fair" would have kicked my ass.
And I wasn't coy with the hints; none of that "oh I'll just "uncover" the first one and see if I can figure it out..." nope- I just uncovered every damn "invisi-text" I could. You know, that hint book was a pretty good read all by itself!
I remember seeing some PBS special about the G. Dead and how Jerry Garcia came from the Blue Grass tradition where at live shows they would have these open patch bays where you could plug in a recorder and tape the whole show.
The greatful dead brought that out to a bigger scale and helped make tape trading "What it is today."
As long as we got eachother, we got the world spinning right in out hands, baby rain or shine, ALL the time! Sharing the laughter and love! (insert kool-ass sax bleat here)
How embarassing for Microsoft, their CEO jumped around on stage like a monkey on angeldust and HURT HIS ANKLE afterwhich he limped breathelessly to the podium.
time for a review of your public image!
P.S.- I will never be able to listen to Gloria Estefan again (not that I would have before, but...)
Aw man, how can you be a moderator here and NOT have seen the Ballmer video where he can't even keep up with himself as he chants "Developers! Developers! developers!"
When I see an article about it on the Wall Street journal (front page of their "style" (marketplace?) type section last week) I know that its starting to get the props that it deserves.
Re: Mononoke; they carried it in blockbuster- the word is getting out there. Maybe not as fast as you'd like, but its seeping in.
I'm not bashing the rich, but from my limited experience (a friend of mine made documentary films in NY) they have a whole lot of money, they don't care to make more, they just produce "art".

You type the verbs ONCE into a menu item,
THEN it appears in your bar under the "..." section.
BTW: I have no association with frobnitz, I just think its damn cool.

Geez, that's 2 of your 5 mod points, ;)
wanna make it 3???
It's aight, I'll just get you in metamoderation!
karma karma karma come back and burn you hard!
Dumb-ass moderator. Whoops, he might sue me! Thats right, I got karma to burn!
But back on topic-
The only reason why Novak is "flush" is that he intimidated people into settling and giving up "all their base"
Let this go to court- infact, YOU don't even need a lawyer, represent yourself PRO SE, and just let the judge throw it out.

IF I can find enough virtual machines that run on my visor then I'd totally do this. I think its the perfect platform for such interactive games.
;)
Makes sitting in the can for hours enjoyable!
I still think it was weak of them re: napster since they seem so down with the live stuff. But I'm not in there shoes... wtf do I know.

Blue Phone of death?
"booo-beee-BEEEEE! WE're sorry! This phone has caused a core dump and will now be shut down. Good bye!"
bloody fookin' 'ell.
TIGER! TIGEr!
Ahhhh, I feel better already!
Fookin' 'ell!
that was damn-near brilliant!
LADIES and GENTLEMEN, Alan Thicke has left the building!
As long as we got eachother,

Sharing the laughter and love!

actually, I think their prefferred title is "the idle rich"
If I had lots o cash to waste, SURE, I'd buy from e-music.
Instead I took my 100 free songs and bolted.
Aw man, how can you be a moderator here and NOT have seen the Ballmer video where he can't even keep up with himself as he chants "Developers! Developers! developers!"
Dewd, I am well aware of TTR's (aka, YOU) contribution to the world of arts and humanities.
SO WTF? How come no-more turd report? Tired of the usual requests for a corn-flecked, fetid wonder? Why no more reports?
Fuck-a-damn virginia, move to a real state, like Maryland.

I hope yr implying that he orally ingested said 30 lbs of feces.
otherwise it wouldn't be right.
Where are you getting this "$100" tivo?!
All I see is $250 used!
This is absurd. Does the consumerist beast that is America know no bounds?
No.
screw bounds checking, that ADA stuff is for dorks. Even the DOD dropped it!
