I took my iBook in 5 months after purchase because it was not going into sleep mode properly, the cd burner was broken, the power adapter stopped working, and some other little things. It took 3 weeks for it to be finished. Apparently, well what Comp USA told me, was that they sent it to Apple, Apple sent it back with nothing fixed, so they had to send it again. Has anyone else had this kind of crappy service from Apple?
That doesn't make any sense. How did slavery control labor? Slavery was the aspect of labor that NEEDED to be controlled; and comparing that to copyright laws...yea.
There are many many more laws controlling the aspects of labor than there were when the industrial age began. Think about all the child labor laws, insurance, health standards, etc.
Copyrights over created works will never go away. That would suck total ass if you were an artist, you created great music, and you got jack shit for doing it. And there is no way in hell, atleast with the way we do things now, that we will be able to legally copy phyiscal products for free. We would have to change the way our whole economy works.
I always have the tv on while im on the computer. It is just to quiet without it. And don't forget that when you listen to the radio, 90% of the time it is in your car. I'm 17 so... yea.
Why the hell is there no anti-trust suit against Comcast? They are unfairly forcing people with satellite TV who also want the best internet connection availible in the area (sadly...Comcast) to pay 60$/month for cable internet. BUT, their reasoning is, you can get cable tv from them and you pay about 60$ with cable internet and basic. It is so obvious this move is to screw over satellite tv and no one seems to be doing anything about it!
This would be awesome for students. I've always wished I could just execute a search function through a book to find what I was looking for. It can be a p.i.t.a. to use indexes and thumb around until you find what you need.
errrrrr, correction, the MacSlash guy says it works on his PowerBook. It does not work on my iBook, can anyone else confirm that it does work on an iBook?
I tried it on my iBook... waste of 5 minutes:/. I am running 10.2.6 with all the updates installed availible from Apple. I have 384megs of ram and a G3 800mhz. The guy on MacSlash says this works on his iBook. Could this be hardware related?
(I went over 5 minutes holding down a key and my repeat rate is the highest OS X allows so I don't think there is possibility for error.
What happens if you are speeding (like ALMOST EVERYONE DOES) and you get into an accident. The person that you crashed into was not speeding, but since they are a shitty driver you rear-end them (because they cut you off) or some other scenario. This happens all the time. There are several stupid idiotic drivers who cant drive and it is crazy. The drivers ed. recuirments are way way WAY to lax and the driving intructors who administer the tests are very biased. I lost a lot of points on my test for retarded reasons and the guy was very biased against me for being a 16 year old boy. Then we see the ditzyest girls who can't drive at all pass because the test is so easy. The drivers ed system will never be perfect and I wonder if we will ever be able to make it better. A lot of guys are bad drivers too because they drive like assholes; I'm not saying it is just girls who are bad drivers, but they are definately less... dumb, for lack of a better word. Anyways back to my main point: just because you are speeding doesn't mean your at fault for the accident, but because of these little black boxes you can be blamed and get screwed over because the moron by you doesn't know how to drive.
either im mistaken about the 300 towards SS or i you think 100-300 dollars per month isnt crap money, which it is when you drive:/ and dont give me bullshit about just dont drive because i have to get to my job somehow and enjoy my life b/c my single mother cant support my entertainment wishes.
So far this year I have had 91$ taken out in taxes most of which is SS. I made 104$ and I get 95$ paycheck this past two weeks. thats almost 2 fucking hours of shitty ass underpaid underappreciated labor b/c the new fucking girl gets paid 1hour more than me, shes younger, and i have been at this place for over a year.
The only tax that really really pisses me off is social security. I'm 17 and I'm making crap money as it is and it is REALLY discouraging to see ~300 dollars of my paycheck going to a fund that I may never see when i retire.
I bet these devices would be real useful in cars for commuters so they can get the news and music they want when they are driving to or from work. I know how annoying it is when your driving home and all you get to listen to for what seems like 10 mins is annoying commercials. Speaking of which, what kind of implications will this have on radio advertising? TV has ads that will run in the corner of the screen during programming eventually (maybe), but with radio all you can do is listen.
Well if the summary of the post is correct it wouldn't be a bounty on the spammers head... it would be a reward for the person who provides PROOF that a spammer is a spammer. This wouldn't put innocent people in danger of being screwed (probably...). This would probably encourage people involved in spamming to screw over their superiors and get sum cash dollas while at it. Or do they work alone? Hell if I know.

A lot of products already have this don't they? Like computers have unique serial numbers etc. Besides, whats to stop the criminal from removing it?

If your an experienced computer user and you get fooled by one of these banners...well...that's just sad.
What about freenet? It is really slow right now, but it could be used for this sort of thing.
