Removing 'gullable' from the dictionary wouldn't be such a bad idea, due to the fact that it shouldn't be in there at all. You don't mean gullible do you?
Who says it works for shrink-wrap software? Here in Aus the ACCC (consumer watchdogs) pronounced a while ago that shrink-wrap licenses are not binding.
BTW, regarding Port Arthur, the perpetrator aquired the most effective means to his end, after breaking into someones house and guess what he found? Colt AR-15 (I think, it was M-16 like from memory) in some guys house, perhaps as protection, this man and his family were KILLED with his OWN WEAPON. Now, sure, you can say that he should have had it better locked up right? Well the problem is, that TRUSTING people to do what is correct and safe is a mistake, because people being people, do stupid things. It only takes one well meaning drongo to arm a malicious drongo.
wrong, bryant did not break into anyone's house to steal the guns he used, he purchased them (without a license) from a local guns&ammo shop.
also, just wondering, all these people going on about the freedom of speech, do you realise we have no free speech protection here in australia?
I believe this cannot at this stage happen, as the fetus was stored in an incorrect solution (ether?), which destroyed the genetic information, and therefore they cant clone it with current technology.
well actually he does do a show here, but we recognise it for what it is, a kids nature show, i can't remeber what its called now, but not many people realise about it, more people know of him from South Park, and things like that.
Hmm so you've been recognised as a sovereign territory, by the country that formerly owned the land?
Its the British Government recognising it as sovereign territory that makes it a safe place to park your data.
Hmmm. I wonder if the music world will eventually split into a "closed", copy-protected, mass-marketed, Limp Britney Eminem Metallica Bizcuit Big Record Company world, vs. an open, non-copy-protected, listener-supported, word-of-mouth marketing Internet music world. I just hope the bands I listen to end up on the good side. (U2 is the only "popular" band I really like, so I might be lucky).
While I do agree with most of your points, do you realise that Limp Bizkit actually did FREE shows across America partly sponsored by Napster. I have also heard of Limp Bizkit songs released on Napster.
Normally I wouldn't have replied, but couldnt handle seeing Limp Bizkit (who aren't even one of my fav. bands), lumped in with those bastards known as Metallica.
People seem to keep saying that RBL is optional, well what about the situation, where someone is using it on a backbone, as was the case in the article? I dont see much choice in the matter then.
Also just because something is *FREE* doesn't make it good, or (as an example) are you a fan of Microsoft's Indoctrination^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Education programs too?
One thing, it does seem that a lot of people are mistakenly thinking that it would block the website as well, but it will only prevent mail, however some companies may rely on this for their ordering system.
yeah getting closer, but it is much wider spread than just US/UK. You are forgetting about all the pacific nations, including Australia. The countries involved are the UKUSA alliance nations.
Read about it in a writeup about a tv docco that was shown here in Aus
ok so my comments weren't 100%, you bother to check yours?
and...Unix technologies in Windows?
The article actually spoke about how originally Microsoft were going to make it easier to port Windows-based programs to Unix, but decided against this, and were bringing out a new version of windows to compete with Unix.
"Microsoft withheld the needed Windows license from Bristol "in an effort to undermine the competitive threat" of Unix, the court found. The judge likened the Unix threat..."
Ok so i read that a bit differently to you, thats why the article is linked, so that you can read it yourself and make your OWN mind up.
If it was meant to be a direct quote, it would have had quotation marks, it didn't because it was my interpretation.
The radiation is actually transmitted up the cord of the handsfree kit, thus amplifiying it, and channeling it into your ear, at the end of the cord (the earpiece)
I reckon it would have little real affect if they were to come out and say that mobile phones are causing damage. Here in Australia we have some pretty hellish health warnings on ciggo's,
'Smoking Causes Heart Disease'
'Smoking is Addictive'
'Smoking Can Kill' (There are actually like 6 or 7 different ones)
Yet it don't seem to make any difference
I get headaches when I use mobile phones, so I try to limit my use of them, if it's giving me a headache, it can't be too good!!
nah thats no good, the headsets actually increase the radiation exposure by channeling it into your ear, where there is no skull to protect the brain, thus making it a greater exposure.
Hey cock head, read the article, we DO pay for our links, we want you cock suckers to pay for yours. And Australia is a third world country is it? Maybe you fuckin yanks should pull your fuckin head out of your asses, and get into the REAL world, we ALL live on this planet, in aint owned by you fuckers, time you started to realise, you cant exploit the world, and then dump them when they have troubles. Yeah the yanks were a great fuckin help when the shit went down in Indonesia, whats the problem, didn't they have enough oil for you greedy bastards? Yeah sure you help a lot of countries, when YOU people can get something from it. Superpower? That aint gonna mean much in the future, when a country the size of Singapore, or Taiwan could bring America to its knees, time to eat some humble pie.

if i had mod points atm, the only person i would mod is you for off topic

read the article, telstra are not yet connected to the new Southern Cross Cable.

If it was meant to be a direct quote, it would have had quotation marks, it didn't because it was my interpretation.
Plus also i believe that you can claim the salary of employees doing R&D for at least 80% IIRC, as a tax deduction.
