I actually think Faces of Death and Banned from Television predated the movement by movie studios (at least in the US, can't speak to other places).
I don't know if they count as snuff though people laughing and cheering as someone gets mushed by a train is to me more disturbung than the same for someones toe getting cut off for pretend.
I can't recall any movies that were like that when I was in high-school, but everyone had seen part of a faces of death.
DS or PSP owners almost always also own a console also. And, as far as that goes, consoles are still played more by several orders of magnitude.
So you are saying that TV based consoles are played approximatly 1000x (3 orders of magnitude) more than portable ones?
There are a whole lot of portable consoles, probably making up at least 20% of consoles (my flash is not working can't check vgchartz.com). for them to have 3 orders of magnitude less play than the PS2 (approximately 50%) sounds very unlikely.
My personal play habits are about 1/2 DS (more during TV season, when there is stuff my wife watches and I keep her company), 1/4 Wii, 1/4 GC. I play only an hour or so a day, so I am playing about 1/4 the average PS3 owner, and 1/8 DS to their PS3, but a whole lot of people need to take my 1 order of magnitude less and make it 3 orders less.
1) by bootleggers I meant governments such as India and South Korea
2) I think top of the lin health care in 1990 was pretty damned good, and if we focus on getting that to everybody there is still room to use the rich to fund research (with expensive health care).
I wish there was insurance that only used new tech when is saved money, so that I was not stuck paying for the reseaech in high-tech drugs as I am now (or would be if it were government). In exchange I would be left with healthcare that the richest people in my grandparents generation couldn't dream of at a greatly reduced price.
Why is it that you feel everyone should be burdened with the responsibility of medical research, and not just those who are best able to pay for it?
I'm glad to hear that ammo for self protection is still available for guns with the same purpose.
It doesn't invalidate the analogy that P2P is more similar to ammunition for killing and not eating than it is to a hammer.
My understanding of the main problem with the black talons was that the doctors were cutting their gloves on them and it pissed them off, so if you use it on a person, make sure there is no hope for them. Otherwise, you may spread disease to a doctor whom is completely innocent.
I somehow think banning P2P is more like banning black talon ammunition because it is occasionally used to kill someone. If we want to make that argument all the mirror sites for legitimate distribution need to torrent together. This would make the torrent a viable alternative to http (probably better), more accurately distribute the mirror loads and put a lot of legit traffic on P2P.
FFS the fact that the site is called "The Pirate Bay" should be a big hint to the content.
I really hope they don't ban it though. I suspect that college students disproportionately represent seeders, and I want my stuff.
Funny, I am right handed and I would like 4 buttons on the left side for 54 possible combinations. I could hold the phone towards me with my hand behind it.
65 combos will get enough to send emails and text, and would be very easy to manage, if the thumb gets thrown into it, it is harder to squeeze the finger buttons.
Desktop 1) monitor power 2) monitor 3) speaker power 4) speaker
I count 4 times the wires for a desktop as laptop at a minimum.
There is also a low chance of bluetooth being used, and the networking is usually wired too, but I won't count them.
I personally like my desktop because if I spill water on the keyboard it is a $15.00 repair, on a laptop that could easily run to a full replacement.
Desktops also last longer (because of the lack of portability).
I have a reject old laptop I use for internet in the living room, but all my work is done on a desktop, and I can't imagine doing it otherwise, ergonomically or economically.
It is worth nothing in the other you have to mentally align the launch (for the big jump) to see the Wii slightly winning, and unfortunatly there is not PS2 to compare.
The PS3 sales are tracking PS2 world wide sales, only if you look here, you see the PS2 worldwide sales were Japan for a while (delayed US release). If we assume trends continue like last year, the toal Japan PS2 base is 22m (still growing quicker than PS3), putting the projected PS3 sales just ahead of GC, not matching PS2.
So if you share a hacked copy of windows xp that is infected with a virus, you could not only be charged with violating copyright but sued for damages caused by the virus?
I would hope. You can be sued for pretty much anything. Our system is based on the premise that most things can be resolved between people with someone to oversee it and make sure it doesn't get out of hand. How is distributing XP with a virus different than distributing a music CD with one? You would have to prove malice or negligence though to receive damages.
<i>What about email? Could you be sued for damages if you send an email that was infected by a virus? </i>
Again, I would hope so. To win said lawsuit against me you would need to prove malice or negligence of course.
<i>What if your machine was a zob? Could you be sued for damages if your machine sent viruses without you knowing it?</i>
Again yes, but you would have to prove negligence on my part, like perhaps I purchased the copy of XP illegally that we talked about in example 1.
I stopped using Mandriva (was still Mandrake maybe) when I couldn't get the AMD64 build with my bargain basement club membership (in their defense they said it was worthless and not to get it).
I was building a new computer and buying OEM XP for $70.00, I realized I payed well over $100.00 for Mandrake, was still paying, and after many months still didn't have the version that ran native. XP was going to last me years, and Mandrake was another 60.00 every year (5.00/month).
I then pirated the full version of Mandrake, but never used it (or even burned) and the sour taste put me back on Windows for a while.
I now use Ubuntu exclusivly (except for TMPGEnc, which beat ffmpeg hands down for VCD compatible MPEG1 files). I like Ubuntu a lot, and am constantly impressed by it. I even use the default gnome over the highly customized KDE I used to use.
Before I got upset with Mandrake I had exclusively used it for a few years, and it was only recently we retired it at work for the servers. The complete freeness of Ubuntu makes a very compelling argument. I also trust apt for distribution upgrades far more than any RPM based systems I have used (based on my Debian expieriences and then Mandrake).
What I do like that I have seen in Mandriva is their insanely awesome build your own GUI 3D desktop.

Not true.
You can discriminate against gays and mormans too,

Why is it that you feel everyone should be burdened with the responsibility of medical research, and not just those who are best able to pay for it?
Isn't it more accurate to say patents on medicine provide the medicine to those who can pay?
In fact, after 15 years (not all that long) the patent goes away and a whole lot of people can afford it.
Why do people have an inherent right to treatment that didn't even exist 20 years prior?
Patents on medicine re only problematic when preventing fighting an epidemic (futunatly the bootleggers take care of that).
Marginal like samba?
Geforce 3 and 4 ti cards are not worthless regularly they break $50 on ebay.
These cards are much older than 2 years (my friend got a 4ti 3 or 4 years ago.

You mean like getting rid of broadcast channels and auctioning them off?

The summary said "digital camera costs could go crazy in Europe".
4.9 percent is not crazy, it is a small bump in price. Even if it is for a bullshit reason.
So I've heard for a decade+
my friends powerbook, last generation pre-intel is still what I would call modern. It died hard from a water spilling incident less than a month ago.
I helped open it up so it could dry, it has water throughout.
I guess I need to start wearing my hair up like a blond.
What is wireless ethernet cable?
Is it a typo, or is there some type of cable to help extend it's range?
Wires:
Laptop
1) power
Desktop
1) monitor power
2) monitor
3) speaker power
4) speaker
I count 4 times the wires for a desktop as laptop at a minimum.
There is also a low chance of bluetooth being used, and the networking is usually wired too, but I won't count them.

Doesn't the same thing pop-up in an ncurses box?
You would obviously move the kernel piecemeal to GPLv2 or later, just as easy as BSD. Then move to GPL3 or later.
How long is it going to take to upgrade the bandwidth of a 100mbps switch with wireless? I would guess 5+ years at least.
How about a 1000mps switch?
And with enough device density even a 10 mbps switch is going to outperform wireless.
And how hard was upgrading from 10 to 100?
With the correct hardware (and short enough runs) even 10 to 1000 does not mean pulling cords ect.
Some fun links:
PS2, PS3, and Wii Japan, America. and All Other combined
It is worth nothing in the other you have to mentally align the launch (for the big jump) to see the Wii slightly winning, and unfortunatly there is not PS2 to compare.
The PS3 sales are tracking PS2 world wide sales, only if you look here, you see the PS2 worldwide sales were Japan for a while (delayed US release).

Sounds like Brain Age.

Sony was responsible for distribution to the public.
Now they are trying to hold someone responsible for distributing to them.
Price.
