STURGIS 2002- VOICES OF THE CULTURE
Hi, my name is Ryan Thiel and I'm a director and editor for Road Weary Films Inc. My brother Scott and I have been directing independent films in Chicago, Ill. Most of our family is from South Dakota so it only seemed natural that we would make a Sturgis Doc. What a party this last year was. The film is jam packed w/ lots of chrome, hillclimbs, dragraces, coleslaw wrestling, scenes from the major bars, beautiful women and late night rides, as well as segments on the Buffalo Chip, Glencoe, Huelett, the rides in the hills, etc...We also take a look into the culture through numerous interviews and the introduction of new characters (people we meet and followed, obtaining the true essence of the biker) that will be seen in following films. We will be releasing the film on DVD, VH
Apple's have had problems because they don't support the RIAA's initiative. That was my point. My CD works, so there is no DRM on it. Otherwise my Mac would have been pissed off in some degree.
Electronic Arts didn't decide they didn't want your money. What really happened is another reason why we all love Microsoft:
Microsoft owns the rights to all games based on BattleTech. Or atleast all games based on the rules/world that govern BattleTech (ie, FASA). EA came up with the idea to make BT:3025 but had to license it from Microsoft. Microsoft gave them a year to make something to would have to go up for "approval" from MS before they would let the license be renewed. When that 1 year mark hit, and EA went to MS to get it approved, Microsoft basically said "That's pretty cool. And a lot of people are already playing the Beta? We'll make it ourself." and pulled the rug out from under EA.
There was actually some wondering within the EAVAQA staff if EA would threaten to shaft MS like they did Sega on the Dreamcast (EA made no games for the Dreamcast), but I can only assume the potential revenues from the XBox titles greatly outweighed anyhing they expected to gain from BT:3025/ea.com subscription services as a whole.
This is why lifetime in prison is possible for hackers. Stuff like this can be issues of "national security". If online businses went out for any noticeable amount of time, the U.S. GNP could see a noticable impact.
Bill : "Hey Jack, does that tree look funny to you?" Jack : "What do you mean Bill?" Bill : "That tree has 72 branches." Jack : "So?" Bill : "That one only has 71." Jack : "Wow. Think the radiation did it?"
Ah who cares. Maybe it'll turn out to mean more paper for the rest of us!;-)
The DVR market is hurting badly, and it won't be long until the two companies are forced to merge just to stay alive. Some markets can't handle competition (like the market paymybills.com exists in, it had to merge with a competitor just to stay afloat).
My personal thoughts are it's the monthly charge that keeps this market from going anywhere (it's why I won't buy). But none the less, these two companies are ultimately going to merge or end up playing so nice with each other they'll be borderline illegal in their cooperation. At that point, the MPAA and big media might just encourage the government to investigate them.
Coca-Cola is actually taught as a company that was overly managed. When Ivester took over in 98 or 99 he micromanaged it to the point of negative equity income from bottlers. Before he took over, everyone in the world thought he would be the best guy for the job when the time came. Then it turned out he wasn't and he resigned on his own citing his inability to effectively manage the company.
XM Radio CEO announced when they first got started that they would need 1 million customers worldwide to break even. That's considered to be a lot of people, but then again, worldwide, it's really not. XM just needs some more time. And somehow I doubt they will have any trouble getting capitol from investors to keep them going as they continue to grow. Lets be honest, XM and Sirius are still really young when considering how long they've actually been offering a product, so it's way too early to rule them out.
The U.S. Navy has been using submarines for these operations for about 30 years. First it weas the U.S.S. Halibut (SSN-587) to tap the copper wires in the Sea of Okhotsk (Russian waters). Then a wire in the Barent's Sea (another Russian wire). The U.S.S. Parche (SSN-683) eventually took over. The Parche was replaced by the Richard B. Russell (Senator who got the Navy a lot of money). Then the Carter sub, if I'm not mistaken.
Go read "Blind Man's Bluff" by Sherry Sontag and Christopher Drew. It's about Submarine espionage since World War II.
Atleast, not if they are trying in someway to compete with Microsoft. As of WindowsXP, remote desktop stuff is part of the default installation, "free of charge."
And I don't see why it shouldn't be. I export X over SSH from my buddies machine to mine all of the time to update stuff.

Grand Theft Auto : Vice City Greatest Hits played in my PowerMac. And Apple is very much against DRM (RIAA's DRM).

Oh BT:3025 how I miss thee. Best online game evar.
I worked for EAVAQA. I was treated just fine. Actually still in touch with most of the people from there. Good times. Good times.
holy shit you weren't kidding. i choked on my popcorn when i saw that.
She can secure me whenever she wants to! haw haw

But instead can claim "I think so, let me do a find." Like PDAs, no need to remember, because you got it digitally!
Anyone else have that problem? Started using a PDA and couldn't remember squat?
Of all manufacturers of these devices : Please don't try to divide by zero. I like my life.
Already /.ed :-( i'm screwed
It will filter out grades from your professors, email from your parents about your credit card bill, and online order verifications sent via email!

Spam is bad. Spam filters that filter personal mail out is badder.
Valid service and valid cost doesn't justify my lack of desire to pay a monthly fee.
I'm not calling it a bad business model. I'm calling it a product who's costs aren't greater than the reward for my personal self.
woah, great to know. Thanks for filling me in. Now I just need to be able to access it from my PowerMac. To TiVo's website!

Or I could be entirely wrong
U.S. Constitution vs the EU.
Who would win?
What if the Constitution was named Ditka?

The problem's that I'm not a fucking slave.
You're right. You're atleast getting paid to work.
AMEN!
