cry me a river...where are the servers? There a physical and monetarial burden on maintaining all of this. Nothing is stopping a country from starting its own dns system. This is like complaining that the us only gives food and supplies and money to certain govts. Sorry, its theirs to give. Not yours to take. There are no rights here to give.
does it really matter? Did you know what he was referring to? we speak ENGLISH. Everything is made up anyways. With the advent of the internet, and the adoption of all the slang, misspellings and emoticons and whatnot..the actual presentation of content no longer matters. IF IT GETS THE POINT ACROSS, WHATS THE FUCKING PROBLEM? Sure, there is always going to be the quality writing that is clear and concise, but when it comes to this nitpicky bullshit it does not matter. It does not lower the readability, it does not cause confusion. It just seems to provide fodder for jealous people like you who seem to need to complain about people doing what they like(Timothy), how they like it. You don't like it, why the fuck are you reading it? Complain complain complain about how unprofessional slashdot is. Whos the bigger fool? We all know the answer.
Pathetic. As many have pointed out...this is like betting money on golf with friends, or playing poker with buddies or bball or whatever. And as some idiots have said "But there are guys playing Q3 and making 100,000$!". Yes, and there is Tiger Woods making millions playing golf. But, most are not Tiger Woods. This could eventually, and I do see it, become a sort of sideshow thing...like casinos. But I highly doubt anybody is going to become a fulltime game player out of their basement. A few, yes. But the rest will continue on the way they do now...and a few may pretend to be big time..and bet amongst themselves. But that would be that.
Im sorry. You will still have to get up and flip your burgers in order to afford your acne medication folks.:) And dream of becomeing a pro quaker! And, much like fat joe at the local bball court. It will never happen;)
hey fuckhead. Someone DID read the source, that's why it was found. My god, are you dumb? Or are you volunteering to fish through the thousands and thousands of lines of code of every closedsource project that goes open? Thought so. This is proof that eventually it will be found in an opensource setup. It may never, ever be found in a closed source situation. Just ask any professional developer how much of a pain in the ass it is to read through someone elses code with what little comments they left, and try to get a grip on EVERYTHING thats going on.
Because...just as you seem to believe owning a gun makes you a murderer, being a homosexual male makes you a butt pirate...and frankly, we don't want to deal with that shit.
You act so stuck up and enlightened *ITS* laughable. yes, those silly laws...that aren't enforced...an unenforced law is what now...yes class, meaningless...Your religion cites...interesting. I assume you are talking about the people? If you are running around flashing your religion..and others dont like it, and they give you flack. Boo hoo. Sure beats the police breaking down your door for it, eh? Cultural sex? On one hand you support homosexuals right to do what they want with their bodies...but no one else! No one makes you do it, our culture is what it is. Different than other countries. Different != bad.
Your tv cite...ok. But atleast you dont have to worry about the po-lice crashing down your door because you are discussing it with a bunch of pals! Supply and demand fucker. You can get porn on ppv. Why? People are willing to pay for it, and enough want it that they(companies/govt) dont care what the others are complaining about. Cabletv...numbers are tilted in the opposite direction. Sorry didnt go your way, go cry me a river.
Your immigrant statement, my grandfather came here and he did neither. Quite successful actually. You are what you make yourself in this country, if they come over and thats all they are qualified to do...are we to hand them better? I dont fucking think so. It's like giving out free scholarships to the poor. If you have too much money, sorry we cant help you...if you were poorer though..no prob. Hand it to em on a platter baby!
A right on paper is useless until upheld in practice. (A'la poll taxes, literacy requirements)...with the whole Florida thing..which was extremely retarded(hand counts should be banned)...it brought up discussions of IQ requirements, reading requirements, income requirements. Sure...everyone can vote...if you meet the standards;)
exactly...and they wont be getting my business anymore

As the intelligent ones have stated..this isn't a rights issue. But just cause it isn't doesn't mean it can't be discussed. Don't bitch and moan because we want to complain about business practices we don't agree with and don't like. There are discussions about moral right and wrong and business right and wrong and dickhead right and wrong all the time on here. This is no different.
Don't act profound by stating the obvious(Yahoo is within their rights) and the even more obvious(the market will react), Yahoo! is certainly not the largest or even a major supplier of this stuff. Thats not the point. Point is, people(especially here on slashdot) don't like companies dicking them. And they will respond with that thing we call the dollar. No big deal.
This however, is far from a positive step. I have a hard time believing that they were already concerned about the items, and this was just further reason. They buckled under a foreign governments pressure. Plain and simple.
thats what I was thinking...I can understand being upset and pissed for about 5 minutes. After that, get a fucking life.
I like muds and it always amazes me the amount of people who freak out over stuff...but...ITS A GAME. It's like the people that freak at sporting events, especially when the event is some littleass rec league or something...I mean..in the end, wheres your life? You are spending it bitching at 2am because you lost a sword and your mudwife is leaving you for a troll? Wow.
And I like the people who try to write it off as roleplay. When you are spending more time roleplaying, than living a real life....what then is your life? And it's very easy to tell when people aren't rping characters and are just being crybabies in their basement.
Games are fun. And if you want to choose to spend your life playing them, then go for it. But in the end, they are still games. That next experience level might be what you worry about for a week, but it's all in your head;)
use tax in maine was setup not because of the internet or mailorder catalogs, but because of the large number of people heading down to new hampshire to buy things(namely vehicles and campers) tax-free. Maine, is way-tiny...and those small amounts of tax-losses can hurt it. Yes, it's still a messed up system. Tax in general is screwed up, I'm more pissed paying income tax than any sales or use tax. Taxing me...because I *earn* money? How bout, since the companies are spending the money...to buy a product(my time and work) they pay tax on it, not me. I agree...a fed run system needs to be in place...interstate commerce is going to grow exponentially with the internet growing as it is...but sales taxes are the least important taxes to worry about.
your an idiot. No shit that saying someone isn't allowed to do something only stops them if they obey. What the hell do you think laws are? If their is a violation...wa-la, they didnt obey it now did they. You can want all you want for me not to look through your window from any sort of distance, thats protected...you do not have the right to say what I cant look at in that situation. You want protection, put up blinds...thats your responsibility, your sacrifice. Thats free as in speech. The freedom not to have you tell me I cant look at your house because "you dont like it". Free cable is a completely different matter...it pretty much is like mp3s, copying cds whatever. Completely different. Those companies have legitimate claim to protection from what you are doing...you however not liking my look at your house, do not.
Yes...if I use my eyes and look at your house, examine your windows...the information gleamed could be used to break in. However, looking is not illegal...even touching your windows. If you are so intent on breakins being a crime then they will get charge *after* commital, not before. We call this innocence before guilt. Interesting concept.
scalping is selling tickets near the venue...usually restricts to the actual # of feet....selling tickets...(look at your paper) is legal and should be. Plane tickets are sometimes nontransferable(for security reasons) but I dont know of any concert/game whatever tickets like that, nor do I ever think they will be. So..you are wrong. Buying bulk...could be a prob, yes...but you cant have 50 fuck.coms.
Umm...you are a shit scalper...trying to pawn off your shit as a higher quality than it is. You have no common sense.
Domains have a fixed value? bull fucking shit. There is no way in hell toysrus.com is worth the same as sukrwheiruektkwerkthre.org you really must be a moron.
Wow....go read about the great depression...or just keep an eye on the stock market itself...or ask the SEC why they frown on internet posting stock manipulation. When I buy a stock for 50$ the company isnt getting that money(unless an ipo)..the company sold the stock to someone...and they sold it to me(at a gain or less)...yes market value is important to a company..but not the way you think. A scalper purchases the tickets at the price the company sells them. If a scalper sells next to the ticket counter, it can hurt sales. If a scalper sells at work...the company doesnt care much, they got their money and mostlikely its all sold out.
that logic doesnt really apply to a case that has no precedent.....this will all depend on who the judge is and how much common sense he has. Yes, there is little to bring forth for both sides as far as precedence and evidence. However, this does not prevent a judge from coming to a conclusion that this is wrong and justifying it with whatever basis he draws for his opinion. It doesn't take a genious to see that nsi is engaging in unfair business tactics...and thats more than enough to convince a judge...if its the right judge.
Point is..yes, most of the time you need proof...and need strict evidence to point out. But a judges whole job is to determine what matters and what doesn't. Legal precedent when absent leaves the judge to his own doings...this is the type of case we need.
it is good engineering practice not to assume the conditions of the situation to be anything more than extremely less than ideal
that is...a consumer owning shitty speakers, a conumer who eats magnets for breakfast..etc, etc.
It's idiotic to assume things when it is very probable to be otherwise.
hahaha first off...EULA arent legal contracts. Second of all, they may license it...but theyd still need to go to court to get permission to search anything....see first part to find out why they wouldnt succeed.
The problem is people/companies are chicken shit, wont say no and accept the fine. Just like when they got their lunch money stolen by the class bully.

i want to point out an error in your logic.
People do not get found *guilty* in civil suits.

Yea, I thought so.
why do you say that? It actually sounds like it would fit. Just imagine.
Whatever IT may be...IT is sure to be cool. So IT will sell.
please. Go shoot yourself in the face. And judge how that feels. I'll judge too...but Id rather watch and judge from that perspective ;)
errr bound for the earth NOT bound to the earth
earthbound as in bound for the earth to bound to the earth.
