You might want to check into this because I have USAA and one of their debit cards tied to a checking account and they let me use the Deposit@Home service. It's a pain in the ass scanning both sides of the check but it beats sending it by snailmail. Oh and btw the Mercury News is a bit behind the times because Bank of America already has this.
Is that they've figured out another way to accomplish the same ends. It ain't over yet because the lawyers have resorted to injecting massive amounts of malware into the torrents.
The elections are not pretend. They are real elections bought and paid for by big corporations and special interests. The government need not fear real elections as both parties have engaged in so much partisan bickering thereby clouding the real issues. Like the song goes "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
"Green shares Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s sentiments regarding the need to protect citizens against ‘indecent’ material but questions how far the filter will go in terms of deciding what content to block."
How about you let the people decide what's indecent and then protect themselves from said material. And while you're at it go tell the nanny state to STFU and mind their own fking buisiness. You can't keep people from accessing "INDECENT" material if that's what they want to see. Americans learned this from prohibition back in the 30's....oh wait drug war damn never mind.
This will not work because you don't have any MONEY. It always amazes me how people think they can influence the political climate by banding together and making their voices heard. Do you really think that politician x will hear you as he is being bought off by various corporate interests? Welcome to the new corporate America. Mod me how you like but we all live in this world...some of us can't quite see it yet.
Why would you even play COD MW2 on a Wii? You might as well be playing Duck Hunt (old school nintendo game for all you young punks). That kind of game is made for traditional consoles and the PC(Best).
I'd have to disagree with you there. While playing your avarage fps on a computer you have to make that critical decision...satisfy your hunger or get your ass fragged by that stupid wall hacker in mw2. I'd rather be the fragger than the fragee so the m&m's can wait. The same thing applies to slashdot. Do I step away from my computer at lunch or continue reading all the modded down posts. Such a difficult decision.
God is a human concept used to quantify that which we don't understand (on don't want to understand) and therefore every bit as fallible as we are. I place more faith in science than I ever would in god. Not to mention the fact that my god can kick your god's ass.
just my 2 cents here but I watched my father (who suffered from a massive stroke and should not have made it to the hospital) become a vegetable and waste away for several months before he fianally died. My mother, who was already suffering from clinical depression, suffered on for another two years before she killed herself. From my perspective quality of life is everything. It's never an easy decision to let someone pass but the medical profession needs to be more respectful of the family's wishes.
Dumb ass. With no government the corporations would run everything and those without money would be shit outa....doh. Ok so we're not that far away from that now but at least your congress critter has to win a popularity contest to get elected.
Yeah but they don't belong to the Olympic Committee. Didn't you RTFA? They were leasing them from another company for the games thus the other company needs to run them x amount of floods to recoup the cost.
Ummm maybe I missed something but how do they expect to put a 3d image on a 2d screen. Call me when they invent the holosuite. Nothing to see here people. Move along.
Microsoft is very much a Monopoly. The fact that there are other products on the market doesn't change that. It's about market control and position.
While I agree that Microsoft's dominance is due to market control and position they are by no means a monopoly. A monopoly can't exist if there is competition between two or more products. If I buy a new computer chances are it has some version of Windows (market position) but I have the choice to install a Linux operating system instead. So I'm not forced to use what ever is installed on my computer. From Wikipedia some examples of monopolies are: Standard oil, US Steel, Debeers, Major League Baseball, National Football League, AT&T and US Steel. Interestingly they do list Microsoft as a Monopoly so it would seem that my post is based on personal opinion than fact. Welcome to slashdot.
Meh the nfl sucks. Since we seem to be locked in an endless debate about copyright, trademarks etc I can see why it would be posted here but they still suck.
Get the financial industry into the game, set up mutual funds and exchange traded funds to support patent trolls, get the investment banks into the game.
That's the wrong way. The capitalist way is for people to get so sick of this shit that they insist congress enact legislation to fix the process. That'll never happen because most people don't give a shit. Well that and big business owns your congress critter so you really don't have a say in the process. Reality bites.
Somewhere in the middle of this thread we went from world leaders and google getting attacked to politics and government having poor morals etc. Pretty heavy shit for a site that's mostly focused on science and technology.
Government and corporations are as corrupt and devoid of morality as we allow them to be. Always have been always will. Until the people get tired of this shit why expect anything to change. Nothing interesting to see here move on.
The patch in question does not circumvent copy protection nor does it infringe on copyrights.
Actually you're wrong. Because Nvidia owns part or all of the company that invented PhysX this is considered infringement of their intellectual property. So in fact there is no legitimate reason why an ATI user should expect to make use of PhysX.
On the other hand I don't agree with the way they block you from using two cards from different manufacturers however I would never do this because that's just asking for trouble. Windows just isn't that good.
It might seem like that....but no. Since you agree to the draconian TOS when you install the driver you're shit outa luck. Also I'd have to agree with Nvidia on this one since they own part or all of Physx. ATI users have no right to use their intelectual property. Thus the moral of the story ALWAYS BUY NVIDIA.

Suspicion has nothing to do with it. Only greed can blind you to this obvious scam.

Flaimbait indeed. Seriously though, I'm a relative newbie to this site and I have never seen bias of any kind here. lol

Remind me again why you want to put your laptop on municipal network filled with virus ridden end users and war driving crackers? Yeah I thought so.
