    depends on a few things.

    MD, for example, expressly prohibits audio recording of anyone without notifying them

    buying generic ink clogged my 740 beyond a hope of fixing it. thanks, but ill pass.

  6. Re:limited fun on The Star Wars Alphabet Project · · Score: 1

    so when, exactly, was the last time you built a lego set? they include all of these features, in one form or another. there have been transparent canopies since the first couple sets (essentially before i remember), and flexible hoses i remember quite vividly from many sets. as far as wheels go, there were a ton of sizes.

    thanks captain obvious! what will we do without you?

    RIAA starts making things bad in the US for independent artists to make their works available freely and easily

    starts? as in "in the future"? have you not been paying attention to the past 50 years?

  9. Re:CD Burners on DirecTV Sues Anyone Who Bought Smartcard Reader? · · Score: 5, Funny

    yea, and if you got anything faster than a 1x, say a 52x theyd sue you for having 52 cd burners, like the BSA claimed to find.

  10. Re:Why not? on North Carolina Fights Back Against Lexmark · · Score: 1

    funny you mention that, because most of the time the replacements that peple buy (generic ink, toner, etc) are usually crappier than what the MFR provides (which is one reason its more expensive).

  14. Re:I'm not sure I get the analogy on FreeBSD 5.1 Review and BSD Roundup · · Score: 1

    thats probably better applied to the original unix, which has inspired a great many operating systems.

  15. Re:Adobe afraid of competition? on Adobe Drops Mac Support For Premiere · · Score: 4, Interesting

    wouldnt it also force users to purchase an additional copy of premier (pc version) in order to keep using it?

    then people would have to decide between changing platforms or changing programs. and to someone who is well acquainted with premier on a mac, neither choice looks very rosy i think.

    humans cost money. scripts cost power and bandwidth (ie, nothing)

  20. Re:Sound? on Anti-Spam Webforms Leave Out The Blind · · Score: 1

    given proper leeway for accessibility, this should not be a problem. labels, text instructions read by a screenreader (JAWS for example) would make that problem negligible.
