Why don't you go spend the EIGHT dollars to see the movie in all its wonder... and don't give me any of that bullshit about boycotting the RIAA, or the MPAA. That battle will not be won that way, the mass of society wouldn't allow it. People need entertainment, if you want to hurt the RIAA, or the MPAA, then do it the way everybody usually takes on big companies through the legislative and judicial system, it's lame I know but it sure beats you not seeing some fantastic movies in cinematic glory.
"Fast forward two years, my mom shows me her CC bill and low and behold, a charge from Earthlink. TWO YEARS of billing an account that was "cencelled", so we called them on this, the g33k that we spoke with said he could refund us 2 months, but that's it. I told them to check the account, when was the last time it was used.. they said something like they couldn't do that. Fucking assmonkies.."
See, this is where you go and look up the names of the top executives and hunt them down, and try to get in contact with one of them, calling them at home usually really annoys them and solves the problem very fast, so you get a hold of them and tell them your problem. I have a friend that did this with AOL awhile back, and got his time refunded in full.

This is entirely off-topic, but why should the American public be nosing in someone else's sex life? Isn't their's interesting enough? The President is almost always on call, most definitely during National Emergencies. Next we will demand is how much time any President "wasted" on non-Presidental matters. They spend more time on the country, and one report saw that the Presidents barely got 6 hours of sleep at times. Mind you this is with a full days work load, which is tremendous for the President, and they only the last I checked about 200k US Dollars.
Then we will investigate how much Religious holidays cost us, Sundays cost, Vegans, Vegitarians, Kosher, and probably any idiot or redneck could come out with several hundred stereotypes too.
I now wonder how much the comments on Slashdot cost...
So when is old Dubya going to stop this nonsense and use his new Executive Orders via the Patriot(Terrorist) Act to keep those naughty nerds at work?
Next thing you know we will be costing the Medical Insurance industry for all the doctors that have to fill out excuse notes. So does this mean Capitalism works or is this just the cyclic action of how Capitalism really works?
I am pretty sure you just misunderstood him. He said all of the ping responses were under 10 ms, which means that totally it was under 80 ms from VA to CA, which probably doesn't make it faster than the speed of light. Although it may be faster than the speed of sound, but I rather not do the math for that shit.
Yeah, I guess I just fell for somehow fell into my own mind's trap. There are those that are vehement against Heinlein, those that don't mind him, and a bunch of other different ways people interpret the "scifi pulp" writer that he was. I personally do like his writings, mainly because of the instances he hits the nail on the head. Sorry, I guess I may have been provoked by reading something else and end up looking like a troll. Go figure:)
When you said, paraphrased because my lazy ass doesn't want to look in the comment, "Robert Heinlein, I didn't know you were still alive!" or something to that effect, just from my point of view it seemed derogatory.
Another great person to grab quotes from, Sun Tzu. I talked to a friend of mine yesterday, and we discussed how the internet is going to be driving force behind a lot of things, since now people can network better, and form circles and groups of similar intrests. Basically the internet supports diversity, and freethought. So hopefully in the next 100 years we will see some drastic good changes that wouldn't have happened with the internet, or at least not at the same speed. Magazines, Newspapers and what not came out before the internet, but the internet has the speed advantage.
So to sum up the argument, all the RIAA is trying to do is maintain their job security they have built up over the years, and not change a thing that they are used to working with on a daily basis. So in simple words, the RIAA doesn't want to change to the way the public wants them to, so what do they do up the price of cd's via pricefixing, and sue anyone and everyone they can. I hate to be a bit cliche, but it seems to me that the RIAA is being a bit terroristic.
I also might want to add just because a man dies, his ideas do not, just look at how infectious the ideas of Karl Marx, those great Greek Philosophers, and probably several thousand others. Their ideas still live on in individuals, they may have not have been to the first to think of them, yet they were the ones that brought them into the public forum. I don't know it just seems like you are saying Heinlein is wrong, maybe it is missed sarcasm on my part.
he really didn't say anything against Heinlein, which is what I find funny, maybe he could show something besides quoting other stuff and state something in his own words instead of insuinating something? whatever that may be...
What I don't understand is battle.net comes out of Blizzard's pocket, so by creating Bneted, they might save money. Even if copy protection is an issue, why waste money on a court case? Do they plan to have as many expansions as The Sims for Diablo II? I find that highly unlikely, if I were Blizzard I would find a way to make a Public CD-Key for cds to use on these unofficial servers... it would be a better investment of money in my opinion instead of some court case, I guess this is what happens when the suits are in power....

So that's where all these damn republicans came from, I was wondering about that... thanks dude!
Definitely trolling here, but a '10' would also be using your sending everyone online in your instant messanger to goatse.cx every 10 minutes, with the text between the brackets suggesting something about hot grits.

I love the idea of a keyboard like this... I like a mechnical keyboard but mine makes way to much noise. The one I have now sounds like a typewriter. As timothy states it isn't perfect. I always am spilling Coke(the drink and the drug) on my keyboard. This keyboard would be nice if it had some added features but not to clunky added features and maybe a bit cheaper. Although it has a great idea and I hope that companies will make similiar things that have some testing behind it. I would definately put out $100-$200 dollars if it was really well made. Keyboards like this will eventually become the mainstays in industrial places, food places, and places around the world. At least I think if they build them right, I mean I like the nostaligia of a mechnical keyboard but they have many a downfall. SB5, Insanity Manifested

Being Irish, I find that highly offensive, derogatory, and inflammatory. Also graced with the luck of being human, I find your post highly amusing.
