I don't believe I have the burden of proof of that statement. You attacked the style of the statement (hyperbole) by mis-characterizing it as a joke. I explained your mis-characterization. That doesn't mean that I agreed with the content of the statement. Nor does this very comment mean that I disagree with the content of that statement. So far I made no judgment on the content of that statement. And I don't have a burden of proof of a statement on which I made no judgment.
Aaaaaaah!!!
Stop it! You obviously disagreed with
It's even better when you realize that AIDS is a lifestyle disease, like obesity.
But you missed the entire point that it was sarcasm. Then OTHER PEOPLE missed your sarcastic/hyperbolic statement about girls in miniskirts and now there's an entire thread which should be labeled offtopic or troll and it's making my brain hurt:(
hell... the entire thread started off with "poor mice", let's get back to that.
I am 100% for testing on animals if it means we can make advances in medical science. Now, the science of itchiness... I'm quite positive that there is some better project on which these researchers can work.
that's my point. It shouldn't be illegal to mod an xbox, it's just a computer which has been built with the hardware and software required to run xbox games. It should be treated just like any other computer
And Now they expect you to only lease hardware as well?
If he owns an xbox he should be able to do whatever he damn well pleases to the xbox, it is the same as any other computer. It's fair for the company (microsoft/sony/nintendo) to make it so that their games will not work on a hacked system, they shouldn't have to guarantee the games will work unless you use their specifications, but it's not fair to take him to jail even if the modifications allow him to use unsigned software. hell, I build computers that have the capability to play pirated games all the time. How is this different?
PS: in before RTFA, he's modifying consoles for financial gain, how is this different from building a computer for financial gain?
In English law, theft was codified into a statutory offence in the Theft Act 1968 which defines it as:
"A person is guilty of theft, if he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it". (Section 1)
Victoria - Australia North and south
Intention to permanently deprive - defined at s.73(12) as treating property as it belongs to the accused, rather than the owner.
Canada
person steals a thing if he or she takes or converts it fraudulently, without colour of right and with intent to deprive the owner of it, either permanently or temporarily.
There's a pattern forming here. I'm fairly ceratin US law would be similar, but theft is defined on a state level so i'd rather not post them all. Copying leaves the original owner with whatever they had. No intent to deprive the owner of use exists.
Actually, microsoft might wind up grabbing all of yahoo to try to assimilate a userbase to compete with google.
PS: about your sig, newtons applied to what?
Night Driver was not a 3D game, but rather the first first person racing game.
The car is a plastic insert and the entire world is raster/sprite based. Not like battlezone's vector graphics and 3D wireframe rendering.
Not to say Night Driver wasn't a good game;)
Thank you for saying that.
I'm Orthodox, and our priest has said on numerous occasions that science and religion are not mutually exclusive. God can exist and can create life and life can still evolve. There is nothing that says how he made anything, Genesis is considered to be poetry, not literal fact.

i read TFA and it says that they have a custom built shim in between the card and the reader.

Same purpose though... Europe to China by sea without going around Africa, South America, or through panama.
