ummm... you create an agency with a much more limited scope than the SEC, for the explicit purpoes of monitoring such fraud. Or you roll that task into other aspects of law enforcement, and give them the resources needed to be effective.
Why don't you guys all meet up somewhere and talk this over. I'm sure the in-person interaction would be better. Or maybe worse. Or maybe better. Or maybe...
For the 9800xt, try sapphire (sapphiretech.com). They make a line of "utlimate" Ati-based cards that use honkin' huge zalman heatsinks instead of fans, even for the high-endish chipsets.
Don't get all paranoid. The processor supports the NX flag, which SP2 will use to help prevent buffer overflow attacks. Any other operating system can impliment this as well (and if i'm not mistaken, Linux either has this or its in test kernels already - but I could be wrong there).
It's not OS-specific, but the majority of users aren't likely to see a benefit until SP2 arrives, because that's the first time Windows will impliment the function. NX support is coming eventually from Intel as well.
A decent critic doesn't simply echo popular sentiment - that's what billboard charts are for. But a decent critic can take changing social views and trends into account when writing a review, and talk about why an artist is relevant or how they play into the larger musical scene.
Good criticism isn't a knee-jerk decision about what's good and what's bad - relatively subjective judgements. It's more about having a dialouge with the art, and judging it on its own merits.
A good reviewer should have been able to talk about Smells Like Teen Spirit as it worked against a popular backdrop of early 90s manufactured pop (think the new kids on the block), and should also have been able to talk about how it works artistically in a cultural vacuum.
no, no, no! I didnt' want an "interesting" mod! I wanted an answer! I'm trying to figure out if something has gone screwy with my firefox install, or if something has gone screwy with slash.
And if people are watching it... enough people for it to make money... who are the rest of us to stop it? All I'd do is abstain from watching it, and maybe bitch and moan a little about how we live in a society absurd enough to crave it.
In reaction to the superbowl incident, most major live broadcasts stepped up their tape delays - because that's what the market demanded. People watching supposedly family-safe shows wanted some expectation they're actually watching family-safe shows.
"As for me, I like to dupe my CDs mainly so I can use them in the car without jeopardizing the originals. A copy limit would not hinder me in that regard."
Sure it would... if your dupe gets damaged, which you must realize is very possibly if you're bothering to use a backup in the car in the first place. So if the dupe gets scratched, and you go to make another one - but you've already made a few fair use copies for other memebers of your household, personal mix CDs, listening in the other car, listening in the office, etc - you're screwed.
You were legally entitled to make the post you just did. No one can throw you in jail for making the argument contained in your text.
Of course a great deal of spin, filtering and self-censorship goes on. Of course Big Media is going to present news in a fashion helpful to it financially and poltically. That's no surprise. But so long as dissent is legal and the marketplace of ideas isn't regulated by men with guns and jails, we're basically OK. You and I and anyone with a set of working vocal chords (or typing fingers) is free to respond to whatever nonsense the powers-that-be present with whatever resources we have available to us.

Actually history goes through periods of being cyclical, then periods of not being cyclical, then periods of being ...
I for one welcome our robot King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Of course, it would be much more useful if it could make the water into wine. Or maybe beer. Yes, beer.
isn't everything?

But I can't say it in front of kids.
man oh man that sentence would suck for a lysdecix ... dyslexic.
so you're saying HAtch is flip-flopping?

I prefer "Coalition of the Willing (TM)."

they can come to my house instead, if they'd like. well, half of them can.

But i'll take the Karma.
Am I the only one who is having rendering problems with /. in mozilla and firefox lately? Every other site seems to work fine.

Or maybe a computer indistinguishable from Turing ...
Don't worry. I've got your mother's phone number right here ...

"No one is thrown into jail because of this game. They just banned this game, so no one can make money from distributing it."
You'd be punished (through jail time? I have no idea.) for distributing it after it's been put on the banned list.
And the response to that is simple:
