Rule 11 is a rule thats not used very often, but it allows for throwing out cases that are frivilous.. The defendants should file some sort of motion based on rule 11 asking for the case to be thrown out.
I hope they are filling complaints against this company with the better business bureau.. It might not do a lot, but if a company has several complaints filed against it, it doesn't look good.
Why would people choose to use these browsers.. 3rd party browsers that are halfway decent like kmeleon have a hardtime getting users, who is going to choose to start using a browser that turns their webbrowsing experience into a clusterfuck of advertising.
If this new thing doesn't have built in p2p mp3 stealing or something, there will be no incentive for people to use it over IE.
Yeh, I had the same problem with amazon.com a while back.. They had a contest where you enter your email address to win a ps2.
Now, once the contest was over, the email list turned into basically a ps2-buy-stuff-from-amazon.com email list..
So I clicked their unsubscribe link at the bottom.. which to took me to amazon and told me to login using my amazon.com login to change my prefs..
I had at that time never bought or done any business with amazon other than signing up for their ps2 contest, so obviously I had no amazon.com account to login with to change my prefs..
Finally after months of emailing practically everyone on their abuse team and customer support team (You get a new person answering every email), I got someone who was smart enough to understand the problem and remove me.
what are you trying to say.. you just contradicted yourself and agreed with the post you were trying to correct. first you say Trailers have always been shown before the film then later you quote The coming attractions reel would be spliced onto the end of the last reel of the movie, hence trailer. From the perspective of the audience member who arrived on time or a little early, the coming attractions would appear before the feature, even though technically it was at the end.
So basically, trailers used to be at the end(but some people didn't realize it), and now they are at the beginning, which is what they parent post was saying.
Yeh the Sims is apparently in a different market totally from other computer games. You wouldn't catch any hardcore gamer paying $30 for what is basically skins and bug fixes, but the Sims with their going 4 expansion packs has managed to get people to do exactly that. And an interesting thing about the sims community is that they expect people to pay for skins and ingame objects. Most of the successful sims skins and objects sites are going pay. I highly doubt anyone would pay for access to a site just because they had quake3 skins or extra weapons that really are just hacked up versions of the old ones.
The spyware is simply software meant to perform a task.
yes, and that task is an illegal one. unlike video cameras and such that have legitimate uses, spyware does not. that why they trick you into installing it buy bundling it with other programs.
no. If he signs a contract with apple saying he gets to check out their source code, apple is held to the contract, but he can void the contract if he wants because he's a minor. Granted, apple would still own their IP, they don't really give that away.. but they couldn't keep him from leaking it out to the internet because of his age.
Thats not true at all.. if you void a contract as a minor, the people who chose to enter into a contract with a minor are stuck in the situation they put themselves in. Thats why it sucks to enter into contracts with minors.. they only have to stick to the contract as much as they want to, while you are stuck to exactly what you signed on for.
There are other legal situations when things have to be returned to the state they were in before the contract, but in many situations, the court leaves you in the position you put yourself into.
apple does make rack mountable g4's they take up about 4 u's and you have to buy a little adapter to make them work in standard racks.. check out the g4 case lying on its side sometime.
there are native gnutella clients that run natively under nearly every operating system.. its kinda dumb to run one under wine when you can run it natively.
I dunno.. I'm inclined to think that Anne Geddes is a pedophile pervert and should be locked up.. but thats just me. Anyone that would dress small children like sunflowers and stick them in giant flower pots obviously has something wrong with them.
at least they are providing them with a list of sites to block instead of expecting the isps to just broadly block anything that might have to do with kiddie porn like those laws in germany that prevent the sale of nazi memorabelia(sp?)
PN isp's can just change their dns to point those websites at 127.0.0.1 or something.

only if you are being sued by the government

Not to mention that federal courts already have rule 11 for getting rid of frivilous lawsuits.
if its similar to changing the scrollbar color, you can already do that with ie only css

Just a thought, IANAL
no, you're wrong assuming you live in the USA.. things might be different where you live though.
Of course, if an adult was standing nearby and said to use the software, they're contributing to the delinquency....
and that just doesn't make sense..

you forgot "up hill, both ways! and we like it like that!"
doubt it.. its just text.. did you even look before for trying to whore some karma with a link to google? Who doesn't know how google works anyway?
or as they say in the UK, "Stop right there or I'll yell stop right there again."
Someone should patent spam and then charge spammers a huge license fee for every piece of spam sent..

hows that work? naked little kids are illegal whether they are models or not.

why use the guts of a computer?? why not use the guts of a real game boy? sure they could be modified to work with giant cartraiges..
