Yes and plasma televisions have been around for years. Like in 1862 when Abbe Giovanna Caselli invented his "pantelegraph" and becomes the first person to transmit a still image over wires.
"A disgruntled employee who introduced an unusually large amount of water into a tank of methylisocynate was responsible for causing the runaway reaction," says Tom Sprick, director of Union Carbide.
take care of your employees and you usually can avoid those "strike" things.
what do you think would happen if the telco's of the US had their people go on strike? stuff goes down EVERYDAY and it wouldn't take long until we were fractured into smaller units. 911 goes down? chaos.
i'm pretty sure they were either shorting their people or their equipment for the almight dollar of the chairmen and this time they got burnt.
That's fine and dandy that you're a fine upstanding citizen but I know quite a few people who will not buy a DVD if they can find the movie online.
A friend of mine has a DVD shelf of 300+ dvd's of which over 1/2 are pirated and covers are made or printed up onto. There are quite a few that are bought but he even told me if he could have found them online instead of buying them, they would have not be bought.
If you did make a duplicate, you're reducing the value of mine. You don't have any right to make a copy of it either. Especially these fools taking cameras into theaters.
You can't act like it doesn't hurt the companies making/distributing/advertising the movies. Even though nothing physical is removed, you still financially harm them.
Why would it be actual damage? if you stole someone's car, and got caught, would you expect to pay Kelley Blue Book value?
It's punishment not being fair for what you took.
Besides, you can't gauge the snowball effect. If he sent it to 10 people. 5 of them sent it to 10 people. And so on... and some of those people may have spent the $10 at the theater or $20 for the DVD but won't because they downloaded it.
"This bill strengthens the intellectual-property laws that are vital to the ongoing growth of our economy," Utah Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch said.
Maybe it's the fact that they need to create a new business model. That and not use the political puppets to create legislation that goes against the PEOPLE and for the CORPORATIONS.
People who secretly videotape movies when they are shown in theaters could go to prison for up to three years under the measure, which passed the Senate on Saturday.
Why do we send people to jail that are at most causing loss of revenues for a certain industry? It's not removing the right for people to go see the movie. Why not just fine him for every copy he sent out? $1000/upload sounds like it would be more fit for the crime.
Remember that human volunteers have a high chance at screwing up also. Most of the volunteers in my area are over 60 years old (yes I live in Florida... LOL) and had huge glasses and were kinda crazy... like remember Will Ferrell as Harry Caray on SNL? yeah anyways..
of course there were a high percentage of the voters that were like that too...
Anyways, the best perfected machine (read most accurate) for counting votes should be the one we use. It should be the 99.9% accurate reflection what the votes were.
So what I say is, how can we tell these closed source systems work to 99.9% accuracy? Oh we can't. So we're just supposed to close our eyes and trust the outcome we see on TV? Oh we are... hmm ok.
There are a lot of users that have no idea what Firefox/Mozilla are. Much less tabbed browsing. It's like the latest greatest thing to come to the Internet. Once people take notice of it (whether it be hearing about Firefox/Mozilla or IE integrating it), they will start using it and learn to love it.
If you noticed the size of previous political threads (including the "strange happenings with votes in key states"), they were huge and full of complaining of a broken system.
Now you have a thread with the chance to offer ideas to fix the system under which we survive (politically). And there's not even 100 posts?
Very strange.
Anyways, back on topic.. I would have to recommend a change in removing the electoral college and having the vote be decided by the popular vote. I think the system did it's good back when it was designed but is nothing but 200 year old fluff (actually adopted as the 12th amendment in 1804.. this year was the 200th anniversary of it).
If you would like to read up on the E.C., there's a good write up here:
Having been on linux 100% for the last 3 years, I've never had an audio mixer work right (even on a sound blaster live! value) out of the box.
The channels are not labelled correctly, the fader doesn't work on most of them, the inputs are changed on the back of the card (i.e. from rear out to line in!).
The only reason this is so important to me is the 5.1 surround setup I have has no volume control. The volume is at whatever level the computer sends to it. I'm sure this is not the standard setup so it doesn't get much attention.

Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Just wear a trenchcoat to cover your body and stockings to cover your face :-D
What could go wrong?
it is funny that anything that is portrayed as going along with your political beliefs is automatically true and anything against is not.
all i ask for is proof. until then, there's nothing to talk about.
and Jesus built my hot rod.
how about some proof? good thing he's getting his 15 minutes of fame though.
i found this on CNN:

training to use posix stuff is another factor
:
;)
but i do agree.
i have one business tip for you
never underestimate the stupidity of the general populous. a fool and their money are soon parted.
if you can put those together, you can make a lot of money
yes because giving unpriveleged users the right to run whatever binaries they want is a good thing..
btw, you need to enter the root password to see this message without the sarcasm.
But it doesn't!!! At least not in my case

A section that would have made it illegal to edit out commercials was removed.
;-)
I feel like for once, contacting my congressman worked!
...Either that or they have TiVo's themselves

how is it going to be different the SECOND time humans count the votes?

what i meant was :

the electoral college as was setup in 1804
didn't mean the body of it was an amendment
but good eye
because the electoral college that was setup as the 12th amendment in 1804, did it's job.
