    well its not like people arent trying,

    look at the current items on slashdot even

    methane reclaimation on animal farms,

    turing biowaste into oil

    solar panels are getting cheaper and more efficient

    these solutions have been around for years

    how do we get everyone turned onto these other sources , how does one take everyone who is non complacent and apathetic about this issue and get them thinking environmentally?

  8. Re:pathetic on Night Goggles Capture Spider-Man Movie Bootlegger · · Score: 1

    good idea

    i think what it all boils down to is the entertainment industries coming to realize that they are going the way radio did when TV first appeared, im sure they didnt sit back and calmly let it happen

    or print to radio even

    its just that now there are more laws, and more ways to try to influence other corporate and governemntal controls to try to recoup loses

    from what? from the fact that we are evolving the ways we communicate?

    well i dont think they can ask for much more than they are getting

    seems to me they should just accept the fact that they cant continue running things like they arer

    if they want to regain some profit they are gonna have to stop thinking about how to profit off of people whom are copying these movies and find a way to distribute this stuff on line

    some movies arent even released up here, so i am happy someone is doing this sort of stuff

    here is a good article for you all to read:

  9. and why not??!!! on Does A Pentium 4 Need A Weapons License? · · Score: 1

    after all anit-virus applications are consider anti-weapon technology

    in the states its illegal to build AVP software with better than 128 bit detection schemes or w/e i can remember the right terminology right now

    i was talking audio tape recorders....like dead heads recording live performances of the grateful dead

    the whole thing should be *irrelevant* because of presedence; if they wanted to stop people from recording they should have done so way back in the 60's by stoping the sale of recording mediums and recording devices

    dont sell them and then accuse the consumers

    that *relevant* enough?

    im glad that in canada it is as permissible as photocopying a book
