I do think it was kind of arrogant for him just to set it down without saying a word. He should have just said something like "Now that I think about it, I really don't want this," and then set the crown on the ground and walk out, or thrown it into the crowd if it wasn't too heavy.
Some of my friend tried to get me into the homecoming court, my plan was that if I got elected I would just simply decline the nomination before I had to wear some silly costume.
I have an idea, has anyone thought that since the universe is quantinized (I misspelled that badly), it is really a simulation running on a computer with a finite amount of memory?
Physics would then only be the study of the limits placed upon the objects in the simulation. There also would be no way to prove that this is in fact a simulation rather than a non-simulation because for all intents and purposes it would be a real universe to us.
I don't think titianium batteries are that much different than normal alkiline batteries. I beleive tiainium is only used in trace amounts in the batteries.
I agree, we should still boycott the hack SDMI contest. I want to see the SDMI implemented and then hacked 2 hours after the first watermarked CDs ship. Then the record compaines will be stuck with a watermarking scheme that doesn't work, and may give up with the whole idea of watermarking/secure music files. If they decide to continue with SDMI, then it'll be easy to hack and not much will change, at least for the next few years.
Selective allowance will not work in a school setting. Access to only msn.com, aol.com, etc. won't help very much when a kid is doing a report. This is because there is no way an admin can keep up with even a small portion of the internet. The best way to keep porn out of schools is just to keep a supervisor in computer lab so a human being makes the judgement call on what is appropriate.
IANAL, but Apple could probably sue Cobalt citing the fact that NeXT made computers with a cube form factor and Apple now owns NeXT.
Heck, Atair (If it's still around) should go around suing everyone for selling "Boxes with CPUs, that are intended to sit on a desk or table" They'd make millions!
The problem that I have with companies gathering information on me so as to offer me products that I may want is that in most cases, I don't want the products.
I prefer to browse in stores instead of being told what I should want by compaines that have a profile on me.
Privacy is good, only for the reason that it allows me to live my life more or less how I want to, without ads telling me how I should.
That Idea of juries going around and checking up on law enforcement is a good idea, but the jurists will need more of an incentive to go snoop around than an full-access tour of the FBI. They would need to be paid, and better than juries are paid now.
Also I can see some people becoming concerned that a terrorist could get one of those passes and walk into the FBI building with 50 lbs of C4.
As for the cameras. Once people acually realize how many there are and how many more there will be. I bet very large hats will come into style, like sombreros. Maybe CmdrTaco will wear one.
That sounds illegal. IANAL, but I'm sure a bankruptcy court would see this as an attempt at hiding assets from creditors. As I understand it, that's illegal.
He my try to talk them into supporting BSD/Linux as a development platform, but he'll never get them to do it. That's because MS is making to X-Box, so even if the development team thinks it's a really good idea to use Linux as a development platform, Big Bad Bill first say no, and then fire everyone on the team that likes Linux and replace them with hardcore Windows zelots.
I would think the smaller sites are just as biased as the larger one, but for different reasons. The larger one's are biased because all they are thinking about is $$$. The smaller ones are biased because whoever makes them has strong personal opinitons. No hardcore Windows site will be compleatly honest when it comes to Linux, and I bet there are few Linux sites that would ever review NT favorably compaired to Linux (If NT was in fact better, which it is not)
I always thought that the major reason why the repulicans take the "save the children at the expense of our rights" stance is because conservative christians decided to make the GOP their party of choice.
If they did that, the guy they hired would have been just another faceless suit. No one would have cared what they guy said and would have just ignored him.
People are really paying attention to Lars and what he says, and he's one of the few people in this debate that have an unquestioned right to the music.
We have no guarantees that the FBI is only looking for criminal's email, and no way to verify that they are doing what they say they are.
So what's stopping the FBI from collecting personal emarassing info on prominent Americans and other people they don't like?
Hoover did this all through his tenure as Director of the FBI. He had dirt and unsubstantiated rumors on hundreds of journalists, celebrities, authors, politicians, suspected communists, etc, etc. Just think of what they could do if they can read your email.
I'm not a lawyer, but I would think that the FBI and the Courts wouldn't let an ISP encrypt mailserver traffic so that the FBI's wiretap would be useless. I'm sure if this became commonplace. A part of the authorization for the wiretap would contain a clause that say that the FBI get access to and unencrypted connection.
MS has produced one of the most popular game emulators out there. They spent a considerable amount of time and effort to emulate a deck of cards using the advanced innovative technology of Windows, but right now their emulator is only limited to one game, solitaire. They are planning to rectify this by adding support for Poker and Blackjack in a service pack that is slated for release by Fall 2014.

They do know this, they want you to pay for windows as many times as they can get you.

Make them surf with lynx, no images = no porn.

No, it would be like this msCLI> mount linux filesystem This filesystem has been damaged, reformatting.

I'm not a lawyer, but aren't judges prohibited from presiding in cases that they are not impartial on?
...waiting for the fireworks.
There is a tld for each country, even the US. They even have ones for states (.nd.us for North Dakota)

Were would he get a modem? He's prohibited from having one. And if he did get one, and his parole officer found out, what happens to his calculator?
Trying to sneak around the restricitions placed on him would just get more of them placed on him, or get him sent back to jail.

People are really paying attention to Lars and what he says, and he's one of the few people in this debate that have an unquestioned right to the music.
The hearing seems to be playing on loop on C-SPAN2 (at least on tuesday night)
