The government may not see (or admit seeing) that campaign contributions and softmoney are nothing other than blatent, legalized bribery, but We The People have no trouble recognizing this for what it is.
I heard some argue that they are doing this so they can engage in regional price fixing. But this doesn't make sense. No matter how much lower the price is in another country the shipping cost would probably make it more expensive.
Another reason is for staggered releases. Movies often come out at different times at different countries. So if a movie comes out on DVD in the US people can't get it elsewhere.
But it seems this is flawed. Someone will figure out how to just translate the US verison into their own region. So people will buy these pirated verisons because they can't get it otherwise.
BTW, is it possible for someone in europe to buy a DVD player from the US so they have a player that can read US discs?
This would probably encourage people to look at porn just to annoy everyone.
One trick you could do Is put all the computers on a special web page. Leave the terminal, that page is programmed to send the computers to porn sites and put the computers sound on full blast. Sit back and watch the panic.
With effort it would be possible to figure out how to do this.
Open source doesn't make MPAA any money. Anything which does not make MPAA money should be outlawed and anyone doing those kinds of activity should be locked up!!
I think video games have helped me concentrate better.l I remember playing Civiliation II. I never finished a game.
Early in the game it was easy. You don't need to focus. Just move units for a couple of turns. Get up walk around then play a couple more turns.
Of course in the late game I have about 30 cities trying to plan production of all of them. The Zulus attacking the west the French attacking from north,and I am trying to attack the Romans to the south. Argh
I would quit. But when I restart it I have the same problem, now I can't remember what I was doing and I try to make a stratgy but have to manage all those cities Argh.
If you are wondering about RTS games(Warcraft.Age of Empires) When I first played AOE II online it was have my villager hunt deer, make a couple of villager, go chop lumber, then make a swordsman or two.
But teammates would complain about me being slow. I realize this game requires 100 percent focus from the very begining. This can be total agony. I stop focusing for 30 seconds and then I am not making villagers for the time. Against anyone good that would be a deficit difficult to over come.
I have basic drilled the first twenty minutes of the game and I think my focusing has improved.
One thing I noticed abou the article that this is mental exercise. But it is viewed as a treatment. Brain Power always seems to be viewed as fixed and cannot be exercised. But mental illness can be "treated".
Another way to think of Unix
on
Is UNIX An OS?
·
· Score: 1
If Unix is an OS where can I get it.
I can get FreeBSD, Solaris and Linux.
But, at least in the marketing perpective, there is no UNIX OS.
Are all of the above different operating systems? Or would you consider them different versions of UNIX
I know this is nitpicking but I am very interested in seeing your answers.
Hey don't you have to do a background check on anyone who tries to buy a gun?
Maybe the RIAA and MPAAshould ask the same thing of Napster/Gnutella/DeCSS
Maybe one day we will have a bunch of blue screens in baseball fields. Advertising is put in decided using a database with all your personal information
I always thought of working in 3D. Of course, I don't want buy it because I don't want to invest that much money into something I don't know how it use, but how do I learn to use it if I don't buy it? Now I can download a free verison
Another program that has done this is Strata3D They have a free verison, a $29.95 verison and coming out with a pro $500 verison. It is not exactly free you have to register and when it first came out, you had to be log into the internet in order to open it. This might be different today
I was looking at yesterday's top downloads at Sourceforge and Freenet is now first. I seen never seen it above 5th. Open Source Napster Server is now 2nd, I have never seen it in the top 10.
Slashdot Mirror
I wonder if they have put any thought into this?
Really?
Then why do we keep voting for them?

More likely the library will say "We need more money to buy censorware, Think of the children!"

Why did AOL buy ICQ anyway?
Maybe they bought them just to make sure Microsoft didn't
I think many of you will be interested.
How do we know this isn't already happening? :)

Hey you might be on to something here.
Get an optical wireless network, fly swatter, security system and anti-missle defence system all in one!
Can't breathe....
Everything going black...
Argh!
No they will want something like an anal prode. A DNA sample is just not violating enough.
With all these Mac OS Rumors posted on Slashdot should have a Mac OS Rumors Catagory.
"You see Jon instead of saying little in english they are saying nothing in spanish.
Pardon my ignorance but what is the MPL?
Oh so you want Slashdot to CENSOR the story....
Because killing him would be illegal.

First they require my email address. Which would be my username for my amazon account.
On the next screen they require a password and my credit card infomarion.
On the final screen they require my billing address and phone number
So the cost also includes my e-mail address, billing address, and phone number
I lied about this information of course. But this could cause a lot of people not to pay.
But Windows 9x only I believe
