you aren't going to realize what a huge mistake this is. There are drivers here that would make you turn white. These blue-hairs trying to drive their land-yacht cars and endangering the rest of us. I completely agree that most fatalities occur in younger, inexperienced drivers. But most accidents, at least here, are caused by old people.
I've seen a man over 70 who had to physically lift his leg off the accelerator pedal and put it on the brake. To make matters worse, he was driving a gigantic Cadillac El Dorado. The man could barely see, and that's bad enough, but he could barely physically drive. Technology here isn't the answer, public transportation is.
Thank you Activision. I've bought a hell of a lot of your games. So, I'm a lifelong customer. The guy who ripped those games, cracked them, and uploaded them infringed your copyrights. I'm glad you're suing him. Because if no one uploads your copyrighted materials, then obviously no one can download them. This actually makes sense. I'm not saying that downloading is wrong, it isn't. But I am saying that uploading is wrong and illegal. I'm glad you're suing the guy responsible.
The RIAAfia and the MPAAfia could learn a lot from you. You already know the source of piracy lies mostly in your supply chain. There are the few occasional pirates who rip, crack, and upload your products after retail, but that number is staggeringly small. Instead of launching a campaign against the people who actually buy your products, you're just suing the individuals responsible for infringement. This makes sense and can bring the most return. There is no risk of backlash from your customers. And you send the appropriate message, which in this case, is don't upload our games.
well, let them go home if they're not going to offer service like a big boy does. This is the Internet we're talking about. INTER being the key word. They're not being progressive here. They're being very regressive. Comcast wants to be the sole content provider to their subscribers like AOL did back in the 90's. Until AOL subscribers discovered the actual Internet.
This is what Comcast wants. They want their users to use their services. This is purely anti-competitive behavior. I say, if Comcast doesn't want to provide true undiscriminatory Internet access, get out of the damn business. They're already screwing their customers. Deregulation has allowed Comcast to act like this.
True competition would allow me to jump to an ISP who would provide the same level of service at the same cost without these BS tactics to force me to use their content.
Unfortunately, there's no other ISP here who provides cable. And no DSL providers want to provide me DSL despite having fibre to the curb. Since AT&T hasn't disclosed that I have fibre to the curb. Speakeasy thinks I can't only get 144k IDSL. AT&T knows I can get 100Mbit if they offered it. Comcast just wants me to stop using the service altogether. I hope the FCC really drops the hammer on these anti-competitive greedy bastards.
The same thing happened with that guy named Nissan. He won the right to keep his domain name since it's his last name.
I think anyone who snatches up a domain name should be entitled to that domain name. Now, registrars are using dirty tricks anyway like early bidding on domains./me looks at.me
What's next, grant the patent to the large organizations simply because they're large?
I have an xbox and use xbmc on it. it's quite good. this software is just something we all have wanted for so long. It plays anything in any format. It streams music and movies and rss feeds.
because we all know how well players of MMORPG games, especially eq2, represent themselves as truthfully as possible.
they're all lying about their fitness. They're playing these sort of games because they're unhappy about their body image. So they create a new one in-game.
The study is bullshit, it is completely worthless. The researchers might have thought about that before investing the time and money.
This is like studying how many monkeys would fling poo if given the chance.
The ads were unbearably awkward and not in that good Seinfeld way.
It looked more like an eccentric billionaire's wish to play out his own part in the Seinfeld show. It was pathetic and Jerry Seinfeld should be ashamed of himself for agreeing to do those ads.
Not only does microsoft look even dumber for trying to pull this one over on us, but they've now wrecked the Seinfeld brand too.

I've studied the research available on violent media exposure.
It proves definitive links between exposure to violence in media at certain age groups can lead to an increase in aggressive behavior instead of normal conflict resolution.
PC gamers do not put up with these bullshit tactics.
If this game is going to make you pay for all the content, they had better sell the game at a very steep discount. I'm talking $19.99 for nextgen consoles. Anything more would be offensive and unethical.
This is part of the reason why I don't play mmo games. I'm not paying for content that should be in the game, and I'm not paying to play.
I forsaw this years ago when I first heard about DLC. This is an unethical attempt to rob their customers by nickel and diming them for content that is already on their disc but cannot be used due to this shit.
I hope they get sued for putting the Day One DLC on the disc. Simple explanation is, I've paid for this game and I can't use the stuff on the disc because EA is charging ransom for it.
overly aggressive video games like manhunt and GTAx can be very bad for children who have not developed proper conflict resolution skills.
I certainly don't agree with banning games like that since they provide many hours of enjoyment to me.
I will not let my son play them until he's mature enough to demonstrate the ability to choose something other than aggression.
I do support game ratings and I wish retailers would enforce them. I don't agree with government regulation of games or movies. That would be censorship.
It's not exactly inconclusive either. Obama was granted higher marks on everything except international trade which is not surprising, but still dramatically skews the results due to that issue's importance to the economy overall. One could argue that international trade has the lion's share of effect on the gdp, but I'm not convinced the economists were taking into account exports.
Obama's platform for international trade is to import less and export more. I would say that's effectively going to bolster our economy by boosting our gdp in the long run. But can he actually pull it off? The desired effect could take a few years to reach our gdp.
And yet, if there wasn't some classified information cited in my report, the boss would never believe it was accurate.'
DUH!
That's what separates you, backed by billions of dollars and the latest, greatest, technology, from me sitting in my boxers pounding snacks and hammering google!
Does this even require common sense? I think this shows a severe deficiency in the intelligence community. If they're using wikipedia and other websites as sources, then why do they need billions of dollars a year to do their jobs? The CIA is supposed to gather information from human sources, which they're supposed to cultivate through interaction. I'm sorry, but gathering intelligence on wikipedia is fucking weak. That's not intelligence. It's what everyone already knows.
proving once and and for all, John McCain is hopelessly outmoded.
He doesn't understand technology and never will. His administration will not have a sane technology policy. He will favor what industry tells him and set his policy according to industry lobbyists.
What a waste of glue holding that bag of bones together!
does that mean regular projectors will come down drastically in price?
didn't think so.
Seriously isn't that how it works? New tech is way expensive and old tech drops in price? This pocket projector seems downright reasonable for what it is.
Slashdot Mirror
how is this pertinent to anything I said?
it's public information. You can't really copyright that sort of info.
That's like trying to copyright the constellations in the sky.

Make sure you set up log rotation and make sure it works.

it's all function and feature sans vapor.
on second thought, the study might be accurate since, eq2 players rarely eat anything other than crystal meth sandwiches.

scribble in this case, means they want to annotate using an sms-style text entry.
EXIF certainly supports that. I don't believe nokia's patent will be granted.
