Now, see, he gave a REASON to back up his opinion. You just said "Nuh-uh, dumbhead" and dismissed it without offering a single counterpoint to that argument. That's why he's right and you're an idiot.
That is also why this argument is never going to end. People don't seem to CARE if they have a point, they'll just argue what they feel by dismissing everything the other side says with witty but utterly vacuous comments.
The irony is of course that you, yourself, have added nothing to this argument. Consider yourself dismissed.
Look, I could really care less if you steal music or not. And yes thats what it is theft. No matter how many fancy names and pseudo intellectual phrases you come up with, the fact still remains that by taking intellectual property that you have not paid for, you are breaking the law. Please dont try to pretend that you are stealing the latest Britney Spears album for the "greater good".
Thats really the only problem I have with people who try to make this argument. Just admit it, you are stealing. Whatever, who cares. You are not trying to set information free or further the intrinsic goals of the Founding Fathers. Give me a break!
This is horrible. They will never get away with this. How can they even think that this will pass through congress. I'm going to write a stern letter.

slashdot is pretty much the same than that doggie site... imagine those pet-holders thinkin about a weblog all about computers and linuxes and geeky stuff. Theyd probably think the same what we think of them...
Two of our sites flat vanished from Google during the last change in the way sites are ranked. Ours had good keywords and descriptions too. Didn't matter at all.
Google owes you nothing. They have the right to list whatever they want on their website. You have the right to list your website wherever you want. If you have not given Google any money to list your site, I don't really see where you have any room to complain.
I seem to block about 90 percent of my ads with these regexps. They take care of quite a few of your "ad" and "banner" filters, all in a nice neat little package:
The rest of my filters are just various adservers like doubleclick, etc.
It should be noted that it is a good idea to consolidate these filter lists in AdBlock as much as possible due to the way the algorithm works. The longer your list, the slower the page will load.
Awhile ago I was looking around for methods to solve the Rubik's Cube. I came upon this guy who created a cube solver entirely out of mindsorms. Complete with color recognotion camera. Pretty nifty if you ask me..
that this whole SCO thing is a lot like the.com fiasco. The craze may still be pumping those stocks, but we all know it's eventually going to burst. This is no different.
Except that during he.com fiasco nobody (that is very few) people thought the buble would burst. Believe it or not, some people actually justified the high valuations of such firms as CMGI.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary lists both pronunciations of nuclear as correct. Where are you getting your information from? Or are you just assuming you are correct? Typical slasdot reader...
Main Entry: nuclear
Pronunciation: 'nu-klE-&r, 'nyu-,/-ky&-l&r
Function: adjective
Date: 1846
1 : of, relating to, or constituting a nucleus
2 a : of or relating to the atomic nucleus b : used in or produced by a nuclear reaction (as fission) c (1) : being a weapon whose destructive power derives from an uncontrolled nuclear reaction (2) : of, produced by, or involving nuclear weapons (3) : armed with nuclear weapons d : of, relating to, or powered by nuclear energy
usage
Though disapproved of by many, pronunciations ending in \-ky&-l&r\ have been found in widespread use among educated speakers including scientists, lawyers, professors, congressmen, U.S. cabinet members, and at least one U.S. president and one vice president. While most common in the U.S., these pronunciations have also been heard from British and Canadian speakers.
Auto makers within the last few years have been etching the VIN on all of the glass (windshield, side windows, etc) of many cars made today. The reason being is that it is so expensive to replace all of the glass in a car that the thieves would rather find one without such etching and not worry about it. It makes car theft cost prohibitive. Well.. thats the theory anyways.
I've been using my.yahoo.com for years as my start page. It gives me a good concise and highly configurable view of many news feeds and financial information (stock quotes, etc). Recently, however, it has become overwhelmed my annoying ads.
Does anyone know of an alternative? The newsfeed in the article looks prommising, but not exactly what I'm looking for.
Skinner: Well, I was wrong. The lizards are a godsend.
Lisa: But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're
overrun by lizards?
Skinner: No problem. We simply release wave after wave of Chinese
needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards.
Lisa: But aren't the snakes even worse?
Skinner: Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous
type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.
Lisa: But then we're stuck with gorillas!
Skinner: No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around,
the gorillas simply freeze to death.

More weasel-words to make something look worse than it is. If something is duplicated, it is not taken.

theft of software/etc is at this time a very minor problem
I prefer to steal Babbage's, but thats just me.

Sounds like slashdot.

They may have caught the extorter, but what is to stop someone else, who may not be as "nice", from stealing user information from BestBuy.com now?

Wow, you're so smart.
57.1 percent of all statistics are made up.
But according to Slashdot, these two companies already merged back in Febuary.
So why not just make a copy of the license?
