Does this mean if I play a CD at 40x and take the time played and multiply it by the speed and if I played it long enough, would then the copyright of the CD become public domain?
Why must see these boring scientific studies, 100 miles deep of water pressure isn't exactly a harsh or hostile environment.
Let's look for life in much more hostile environments, like what's left of Michael "King Of Pop" Jackson's nose, Dr. Phil's talk show, or even in the craggy depths of George W. Bush's skull.
All major investment companies are going to push huge shit-loads of dollars into the p0rn industry... unless they know that they are tracked.
Like everything in this world, there is no black or white, and just by looking at America today, Sex sells. There are soft-porn sites(Maxim Magazine's Website), Hard-core(...I won't bother to plug), and a variety of others on both spectrums(Christian porn anyone?)
So by current trends investors have always known about sex selling...
Even lowbrow rags like "Barely Legal"'s parent company probably have a better economic standing then other magazines that compete with a similar small audience targeted market(like tabloids, wedding mags, and Drug Dealers Weekly)
Most of the Sci-Fi universes that I have read that end up encountering aliens or involving aliens always have 99% of the time, bipedal aliens.
Is this really a needed limitation?
On Earth, Humans are one of the few bipedal animals, birds being the second that come to mind although they seem to rely on flying to do most things. Now if we look at the animal world, we see animals with no-legs(snakes, slugs), two feet(birds, humans), four feet (being the most common in large animals), and of course the legs contine being multiples of 2 from then on.
if someone has access to a pirated copy, why would they ask MS for a discount, rather than just use the illegal version? maybe i just dont have an e-conscience...
I thought the whole Robin Hood tale's moral was basically "If the person you are stealing from doesn't have a conscience, then it is fine"... Was I wrong all along?
I will admit, I do not use Linux I tried installing it a few times and gave up. But at the moment I have Windows 2k Pro, and Win 98 SE on this computer. Although on the other household computer it's just Win 98 SE, that one is used for e-mail and basic stuff like that, it has been upgraded beyond repair and is only 200 or 300 Mhz, the RAM, HD, are mid-end and the rest is mostly low end at least now.
The only problem that I have seen with all of Microsoft's foresight, well the lack of it is basic. They have been heading in the right direction since W2k, WinMe was a giant mistake but XP is definitely better equipped then 98 but can't be used on these slower machines that could use the functionality of WinXP or 2k. That's a plus for Linux though, it can perform well on a low-end machine and just gets better on a high end machine. So if I was Microsoft, I would give the ability for a low end machine to run a low end version of WinXP but it still contained the stability of WinXP on a high end machine(unlike Win 95 or 98, XP is more stable, IMHO of course)
I haven't slept for a little over a day now... so please don't be harsh with the comments, be gentle, no whips this afternoon just handcuffs k?
And as long as 128 bitrate is the defacto standard on mp3's then quality is going to suffer, maybe it is just me, but I can tell the difference from a 128 bitrate file and a 160 or 192 bitrate file, because I usually burn them onto cd's and listen to them in my car. Someone needs to up the standard, it annoys me to hear compression artifacts in my music...
Trying to stop any popular activity brings more problems than intended. I'll use as an example Prohibition of Alcohol in the USA. It was a big boost to Organized Crime.
Who knows what kind of problems the MPAA is making for itself by going after something that has been done since recording devices were made available to consumers. -- Ursula Andress, Catherine Deneuve, and Charo, twice.
So therefore the only solution is to only allow the RIAA and MPAA access to recording devices since they are in violation of the DMCA.
I must also say that most jobs pay min. wage and you are lucky to get a job in the high-class areas that pay $6.00 or more. This is supposed to curb "teen smoking", which is obviously not working.
This is as accurate of a picture I can draw for you without looking at statistics and other information and I am basing all my information on my own experience and knowledge.
Several of my friends order things online via eBay, and other various sites. The recent one that has become popular is cigarettes, they raised the taxs in the state to at least a dollar per pack. This raises most packs of popular cigarettes to 5 or 6 dollars. Now my friends resort to importing cigarettes for far less money, sometimes it is between states and some of them import them internationally, and actually now prefer the international ones because they are smoother they say, but I digress. Personally I disagree with this idea to tax online sales but I guess that deals mostly with me being a libertarian and wanting peace, a small military, and a small government.
At least you can see yours, well I can see mine too, but some nerds can even see them sitting down. Although when I sit down at my glass desk and then promptly look down I am proud that I don't have to resort to enlarging cremes or pills. Although as a fellow geek finding a good use for it besides use by myself is quite, lacking....
Silly humans, still debating simple things like evolution, astrophysics, and whether Star Trek or Star Wars is better(non-geeks: read that as "penis size"); and yet you still wonder why alien civilizations haven't contacted you yet.
Are you sure you aren't thinking of Schrodinger's Cat? Or the Nazi's weird pseudo-medical experiments? Of course if this was done in the United States... PETA would file a lawsuit faster than you can say "Double Cheeseburger"
If it involves the Soviet Union, then it has to be listed as such, the CIA and FBI just can't release the pertinent files that explain the "biomedical problem", (insert recent space alien conspircy with the Top Level US government officials here)
Surely you jest, for trying to raise concern over a "major and intelligent attack". You should know by now that there is no "intelligence" on the internet. As far as your panties in a knot, that's a personal problem. Nobody has even attempted to make an "major intelligent attack" since before the creation of AOL, all attacks since then have been piddly and unintelligent.

I don't know how that would happen since you can't really schedule a snowstorm. Especially since we haven't been that great at predicting the weather.

Well I knew their had to be some pro side of having the last name of Smith.
Now I am sort of glad of having a full name that has all common names in it, I looked and couldn't find anything.

It's called a EULA, Microsoft's being enforcing them for years, so I guess it's legal....

I use Kazaa and when I do a search the mp3s with the most users are always at 128....

Were you there when the music died? I was...

Or, you are happy to see someone, although they may not be happy to see you.
sorry for the italics and bold, feeling sort but since I had to break out the blockquote... it brought back memories of my writing html
Maybe like that Free-State project we can organize a Free Country Project.

By legendary, they mean as in how The National Enquirer is "legendary"... Like in another post said, it's a extra long toy ad...

that's easy, to fool the FCC and so that the government can't triangulate their position...
