to my girlfriend, (i haven't converted her from aol yet... even after 3 years, her mom is still stupid) anyway, she logged onto her screename, and clicked no thanks, as always...
then she got this email saying how your order has been confirmed...
the funny part was, doesn't aol know the 'master' screen name? only them can do account changes, etc?
only they have the credit card, only THEY should be able to AUTOMATICALLY charge to it.
1993: Congress Notes Video Game Violence
Incensed by the violence in Mortal Kombat and Night Trap, Senators Joseph Lieberman (Connecticut) and Herbert Kohl (Wisconsin) launch a Senate "investigation" into video game violence, threaten to somehow effect a ban on "violent" games, and eventually soften their demands and concede to an industry-wide rating system. they are still in office?... sigh... people never remember anything

Seriously, we know that there will always be a lot of alternatives. Ultimately, the choice will be yours, but we feel that file sharing communities that pay copyright holders and provide simple, useful tools to help you do what you want with your digital music collection are going to prevail. We feel strongly that the value you receive from Napster will make the fee seem insignificant.
yes, the alternatives we've grown the love over the last 6 months just don't compare the the 'quality' that we could get with the satisfaction of making the RIAA much richer than it already is.
so if the script makes whoever vote on 30 or 50 movies, it'll count the vote.
it's possible...
i think all star wars fanatics have become LoTR fanatics, i'll find out next time when they all wait for episode two/LoTR two, see if it's the same peeps dressed up waiting outside.
i'm still laughing... for the months you paid twice the ammount of what normal internet usage costs, you get 3 or 4 days extra before most of the @home community sign up for another service provider...
i'm a moderator for a somewhat large website,
and our rule is NEVER edit a post, only delete it... i've been told it's against the DMCA... i dunno if it's fully true though, cause IANAL.
becuase irresponsible parents like to lay blame on their children's misfortions on violent tv shows, video games, and pretty much anything that will get them out of parenting.
i mean, if my child was to shoot up a school, i would blame myself, not nintendo, or idsoftware.
so, how does that differ from a dvd with no 'features' in it, and a dvd packed with stupid useless stuff, and extra 5 seconds of footage, and interactive blah blah blah?
no, becuase the software to read the vhs tape is already inside the machine, the vhs actual magnetic tape has no software to 'run' or execute. with an encarta dvd or a dvd w/ a virus, it's software.

it didn't say what kind of randoM wordS.
maybe it's a coverup.

my view = this is now bush's new 'missle defense' system, threaten to blow up the world before any missles can hit the USA. sigh.
wouldn't this easily add to their antitrust case?
microsoft makes so many smart moves.

let's do the calculation, 1000 views for $5.00 , or a penny per two pages... that's the homepage plus one comments page.
two pages of bandwidth (mostly text) = a penny?
two revenues pages for advertisers = a penny?
is it me, or are there little OSDN hints in the stories?
... or check this out from our partner ...
/. is part of OSDN, but why make it extremely obvious/annoying?
the more than obvious ones, the 'here's an OSDN link'
is it me, or is this a new thing? we all know
i know there's alot of l33t warez kiddies who say this...

but there's no corporate version of windows XP
it's just a poorly cracked version of a legit copy, labeled as a corporate release...

aol said they would make a server side fix, but what about direct connections?
aim has a feature where you can directly connect to another buddy ip to ip, to send messages, pictures, sounds, whatever...
server side fixes don't help the people that bypass the server.
so if the script makes whoever vote on 30 or 50 movies, it'll count the vote.

this isn't much of a surprise, as an oprah class has been in the works for awhile...
and they say education in the us isn't going downhill...
gotta love parents who can't watch their kids and rely on websites, rating systems, and the government to choose what their children do.
ah, modern family is so loving and caring with modern technology.
yeah, they don't want too many people going to their site... so they get /.'d by /., wired, and everyone else who reads this :)

may we ask why you would need vi style bindings? there may be an easier work around from that.
it was just bleemcast that was dead? or lack of new ps1 games coming out?

i have one good reason NOT to see episode 2...
episode 1...
and, i thought the first one was hyped up enough? what the hell is this?
get over it, it's a horrible trailor anyway.
so, how does that differ from a dvd with no 'features' in it, and a dvd packed with stupid useless stuff, and extra 5 seconds of footage, and interactive blah blah blah?
just becuase the dvd itself says it's a film, does not mean the CONCEPT of a dvd is a film...
you're not getting the argument right.
