So there wasn't a nation Palestine, whoop de frikkin do! In case you missed your United States history, Rhoad Island isn't a nation either. By your logic, all it would take is the United Nations moving in more refugees than there are current residents, and the natives of the island couldn't complain because they'd be outvoted.
Strange how you don't blame the PLO, whose charter until recently included words to the effect of "No Israel ever", for not acknowledging the sovereignty of Israel.
Oh? I don't know where you're from, but lets say you're from Rhode Island. Say the United Nations decided to make a homeland for refugees from some conflict on Rhode Island. Without any reguard to the people who happened to be living there at the time, such as yourself.
Just how fast would you recognize the sovereignty of this new country?
From Troma, the same people who brough you Toxic Avenger and Tromeo & Juliet comes the third installment in the Nukem High series. In the first movie high school students are mutated by waste from the nearby nuc plant, which cheap cheap cheap special effects.
This movie continues the tradition, with a great running narration.
"Now we will attack the Mad Iron Clad Lad with deadly lead pipes cleverly disguised to look like PG wiffle bats."
and
"The secret base is diguised as a sugar factory, which also cut down on set costs."
Back in the day, my Mom ordered a Quadra from Apple and it came with some cd's that had locked software on them. I don't remember exactly how it worked or what it was called (Software Express?) but I imagine you called and gave them a credit card number and they'd give you the key.
Don't know how succesful they were, just that my Mom never got anything from them.
No, because we're talking about what kind of *TARGET* is was. The Pentagon was a military TARGET, because its the headquarters of the military. Its still terorrism because they used a planeload of civilians as the weapon. But that still doesn't change the fact that it was a military *target*.
Those are silly examples. Of course too much regulation is a bad thing, but I'd rather have too much than none at all.
As far as credit checks being a "minior" invasion of privacy, speak for yourself. I don't mind submitting to a criminal background check, but my credit history is none of their damn business.
"Then get a different job" you'd probably say. What if that job is the only one I can get? What if I can't take a job at Burger King because I have to make child support payments? What if I can't look for work elsewhere because I wouldn't be able to see my kids?
That is exactly why we have regulations, because you don't always have a choice.
Microsoft bought $150 mil in non voting stock. As Apple had 2 billion plus assets lying around at the time, saying Microsoft "saved Apple's ass financially" is a gross exageration.
My beef is that I've run into several people who think that copyright infringment == theft but turn out to be total hypocrites. My former boss had a temper tantrum when I was asking around for Pink Floyd mp3's. Its theft, the band isn't being compensated, etc etc. I disagreed with him but thought he at least was taking a principled stand that the artist deserves compensation. Then a month or so later he whips out his large collection of Pink Floyd concert bootlegs and starts playing them. I've never come so close to killing another human being in my life.:)
Except that you wouldn't be taking his paycheck, you'd be copying it. And no he probably wouldn't care, since he'd still have his paycheck and you'd have a copy.
No, he's not arguing semantics you twit. Calling something exactly what it is is not making "excuses". If you want to argue that copyright infringment is immoral, illegal, fine, wonderful, more power to ya, but copyright infringment still is not theft. You should go work for the IRS and start insisting that tax evasion is cannibalism.
The key part of theft is that someone is taking something from you, and you no longer have it. And "potential profit" loss isn't stealing, because I can't steal something from you that you don't have. That's why we have copyright laws to insure that people are compensated for their work. Violating those laws is called copyright infringement.
The IRS should hire people from the RIAA to start calling tax evasion "cannibalism" and see how many people start beliving it.
Copyright infringement is not theft. You can go ahead and argue that the "poor starving" artist needs to be compensated, but that still doesn't turn copyright infringment into theft.
True, ATI is the king of OEM's, but the majoraty of that is for integrated motherboards and cheap Rage POS cards for Dell. I believe that Nvidia currently makes more mid range cards for the oem market than ATI.
I had an Apple II, a IIe to be precise, and never, ever saw a terminal. Stick in AppleWriter disk, boot, use it. Stick in Where in Europe is Carmen Sandiego disk, boot, use it. Where was this terminal of which you speak?

umm that link is for a system enabler for the Mac II, don't see samba mentioned anywhere....

Its more than that. G4's have much better floating points and are designed for smp. The G3 was meant to be a low power, low cost consumer chip.

Classic stuff. Go rent it!
U have a source for that? I would love to read more from that interview....
Of course not, children aren't people. What was he thinking?
Maybe you haven't noticed, but all new games are sold at a certain price point.
Maybe you haven't noticed but you were just proving the point, which is that infringment has no effect on prices.

Murder is wrong, arson is wrong, so they must be stealing too!
Actually the Geforce 3 was faster than the 8500, even when the Radeon was helped by the "quack" drivers.

an airliner full of innocent civilians
Be that as it may, it still doesn't change the fact that the Pentagon is a military target, as opposed to say, a skyscraper full of civilians.

Yeah but who saved Apple's ass financially?
Microsoft.
When did this supposedly happen?
ha ha, ha ha, ha. that was funny, just keep in mind that Gore never claimed to have invented the Internet.
