Then you explain to them that the people who own Twitter & CNN are the ones pushing for this treaty. Then you see the lightbulb go off. My friends are somewhat bright for the most part, YMMV.
While I do think that the current president should do something to kill this, ACTA started with the Bush II administration.
Call your senators folks. They are our last line of defense against this. Let them know unconditionally that they will not have a job next election cycle if they vote yes on this.
Take the time to explain the far reaching consequences of this treaty to your less tech oriented friends. Tell them that if this treaty passes they will eventually be under 24/7 internet surveillance & eventually they *will* come after their iPods.
Give them worst case scenarios. Scare them. Fear is a great motivator.
Never applied for one, but I think this is probably the result of the "get paid for medical testing" ads you see in the back of free circulars in & around college towns.
The placebo effect isn't getting weaker, it's getting more effective. The/. article linked even states that. It the reason why if prozac was a new drug today it more than likely would have been rejected by the FDA.
Here in the US, just about every adult has a cell phone. There is hardly a day that passes that I don't see a cop fly by me doing 20 miles over the speed limit (with no lights on mind you), talking on a cell phone & oblivious to what is going on around him.

The original campaign was kinda crappy, but there are hundreds of great user made modules out there. Darkness Over Daggerford was one of the best.
I'm pretty sure he cut you a break on the actual fine part of the ticket.
Firefighters: Stop the Red Truck Socialist menace now!
New tag for British / Big Brother stories = AirStripOne.
One word: sociopath.
Murdoch would sue. More likely, Fox would sue, whining that Google is discriminating against a conservative viewpoint.
Is that illegal now?
Neverwinter Nights is multiplayer. Not massively (100+ player per server limit with certain NWNx plugins), but it is multiplayer.
I had a Calcomp Digitizer tablet with 14 or so programmable buttons.... back in 1995.
That being said, I'll probably buy this to go along with my Nostromo n52.
Ryan Gordon does. He's ported a metric buttload of commercial apps for Linux. See Loki games & icculus.org for more information.
Way to prove his point.
So does Microstation, & that wasn't my point at all.
Nope, more of a CAD person. In hindsight I guess that would be like someone saying that QCad or Intellicad was a complete AutoCAD replacement.
Because, if you look around a bit there are free, functional replacements for almost everything that Adobe makes.

We should call this the War on MP3s. It will be about as effective as the War on Drugs.
So the placebo effect can interfere with the results of an experiment designed to test the placebo effect?

p.s. Why the hell is this marked Troll?

Thanks for the heads up. I'll not be getting any car with a "Synergy Drive" until that is fixed.
It would still have to be voted on by the Senate. And since both parties are owned by big media, guess what?
Ok, I've been looking but I don't see anywhere on the FCC website to actually give them feedback.
My company actually did some of the design for this. Now I know why they wanted such a fast turn around time on it.

Another part that they ignore whenever they feel like it apparently.
