well thank you that's thoughtful. but still illegal:)
Let's say Dexter got caught by the police... what would happen to him?
from your standing the guy is wrong to try and kill you. from somewhere else may be your the bad guy and he had a good reason to try and kill you. If your on the other side of the barrel there is only one conclusion : (you are wrong and the guy holding the gun is right) OR (||) (you are right and the guy holding the gun is wrong) -> (P) OR (-P) that statement is always true. that is why we need a third party.
If it was for me... nobody deserves the right to have a nuke. but who am I to prevent others from having one if I own one? what makes me so special that I deserve to have one?
This is a situation where we need a rule with no exception, a rule that is applied blindly without the need to think of a "what if...". no nukes for any one, NO exception.
why can;t BOTH to put their weapons down?
some people tend make it seam like the Arabs are causing havoc in the middle east, and thus are savages that we need to either control or exterminate (a deja vu...). And by the way that IS antisemitic.
Mmm, not sure the second amendment agrees with you.
You go see the police may be or go buy a gun and wait for them. that makes you a law abiding citizen.
hitting them with your car while they're going to the store to buy their gun makes you a jerk.
The summary is, as usual, misleading. To my knowledge, Windows itself has no such feature, nor any other program I've seen for that matter.
0_o Opera had that feature for years...
if you do inline search (by pressing . or , and typing what to look for) it will highlight every occurence of what ever you're searching for real time. (all it's missing support for regexp )
not that i'm saying it is true, but the guy has a point.
to keep in car analogy. let's say you hacked the car;s and added a compressor lored the suspension.... few days later the distributor goes boom (happened to me on time the car just stoped there -- haddn't changed any thing it was just old).. what happens ? the dealer may say tought time man but you hacked your car... no more waranty ?
There ARE people who know more about governance than the masses.
And there is/will be some in the mass who know more that those people. Admiting otherewise is admiting an upper bound to knowledge which is absurde IMHO.
hands of the misinformed manipulated masses.
well part of that mass chose to be missinformed. and part was missinformed. We need something like wikileaks to keep the flow of information to miss(miss (informe)) the mass, those who are intrested anyways. by doing that we might approach that equilibrium (1).
they need to assert that a torrent is indeed what the title claims to be ? (can make and distribute some random bits and call it "Far_Cry_DVDRip.torrent"). In order to be sure that what is actually distributed they must download a copy. Since it's an illegal (b/c it is distributed without permission) they are guilty of infringing, therefor should be punished.
like the free market, it needs information to be free. Every bit of information will help (directly relevant or not). What may seem irrelevant to me may be relevant for you and vice versa. The contrary implies the existence of someone (or something) out there that knows better than any one else.
One can argue that rich kids have it easy, and poor kids don't.On the long run, easiness breeds laziness, on the other hand hardship breeds resilience (if you don't die --literally or in figure-- from it). who's intelligent?
and what is intelligence to begin with.
Their stated goals are fairly straightforward. When they say the land will run red with our blood, they're not talking about the bill of rights being changed, they're talking about us all being violently killed
the "straightforwardness" of the stated goals doesn't imply a straightforwardness in implementations. Wanting a wall down doesn't mean that you have to charge with a battering ram. Eroding it is one sneaky way. Tempering with the foundations is an other, and that's exactly the consequences of what happened up to now. Slowly but surely the foundation of what we might call civilization is eroding little by little.
and What defines the West (apart from the fact that the west is a collection of human beings)? To some it is freedom among other things, so if there is less freedom, "They didn't come anywhere close to destroying the west" is a false statement.
"The US and allies meddle a whole lot more in the Arab world, not less."
and is that a good thing??
may be, just may be, terrorism (for some reason they may be thinking that it is the only way) is they way of "Meddling A whole More in the affairs" of the so called civilized west? and that would make it one consequence of : "The US and allies meddle a whole lot more in the Arab world, not less."
No, the terrorists really do want to enslave us. They support laws prohibiting criticism of their religion, for example. That's anti-freedom and anti-truth.
But trying to preserve freedom with less freedom can only mean that they have won (one way or an other).
At some point there was a nice caricature about that subject (venting) -- I can't seem to find it, even if I could it's in french -- so here's a translation/description:
2 exact replicas of the same image (a president talking to his people), one is a dictator saying : "ferme ta gueule!!" --meaning "shut the fuck up or else"--. The other is a democratic president saying : "Cause toujours!!" -- which is an expression to say : yeah yeah, speak as you want, as if I'm listening to you --.
It is based Quote from Citations de Jean-Louis Barrault: "La dictature, c’est ferme ta gueule; la démocratie, c’est cause toujours.
what is exactly copyrighted, the whole thing or bits and pieces?? from a logical stand I'd say the whole Work of Art. And any derivative work, just to emphasis that is the work that is important and not the package (format shift), Digitally that would give a particular "binary string" that makes up that file. So, infringing would pertain to that binary string as a whole, not any sub-string (or a collection of sub-strings that is different from the whole set), so if the bittorrent clients make sure to not serve the whole string to any one person, they wouldn't really be infringing (technically) as they would appear exchanging random bit strings to which nobody holds any copyright. Every participating node would eventually end up with a whole copy but at no time no particular one had served a whole copy, just "no so random bits" that have no value at all.
To rephrase - if all of the content that you are illegally downloading today were to disappear from the world tomorrow, would you miss it?
The answer is no. If I wasn't ready to fork $$s to buy it why would I miss it?
If yes, then how would you propose that society creates incentive for artists to create such content *without* copyright laws?
The problem isn't copyright per say it is the excess of it. It is the excessive control that some want to impose. it is the logic of profit profit profit no matter what the cost is. it the sensation that we're getting screwed and we have nothing to says or do about it.
the link in the post bellow is not bad at at all, you may want to read it...

If no, then why are you illegally downloading that content in the first place?
availability, it was there. I want 1M$ -who doesn't?- but I'm not actively seeking to robe a bank to get it, but if I found a suite-case full of money --knowing that no one will miss it--, why would i not take it?.
that's the easy way out, the old "why bother it wont change a thing anyways".
With nothing to loose trying, and the fact that usually big steps begin with infinitesimal ones, I find it hard to not try.
I might add that some one desperate enough won't see the difference between the actual place and the airport. in the nineties something like that happened in an Algerian International Airport. it was a blood bath, a lot of innocent people were dead.
Frankly, I'm fed up with this getting too old excuse. "It won't change thing. If I don't other will do, so why bother. Either you'r in the system or outside the system". The world is not fucking black an white, there are millions of other colors and shades.
Instead, try to fight those lunatics in any way you can, and FOIST your "non-lunacy" upon them. If they could, why can't you?
Actually BELL &co have already the ability to do this (they are throttling P2P, using DPI to identify it identifying) so I guess the excuse of "it costs too much to implement" can't be on the table
indeed it is sad. Rarely you'll find some one that stands back on principle. the usual rationalization is: even if I don't buy it others will and it wont change a thing, so screw it I'm buying. A lot of people think this way.
I wonder what this syndrome is called
I did, I used to buy the games second hand (yeah cheap bastard I know:D). and I don't bother with DLCs -except if I reaaaaaly liked the games- but I don't anymore PS3 is there as DVD/Blueray/DVIX player...
As I said in a previous post how do you know that before buying it. And software is not refundable in my experience. so you buy you don't like you're screwed.
