Don't worry, this will win on appeal. When the technical details come out, the truth will prevail. This case hardly had any time to delve into the details of how it isn't possible to determine exactly who "made the files available" using the methodology the RIAA's "expert" uses.
Like 1080p HD and 720p HD. not just one wacky pseudo-resolution.
I can play in any resolution I like.
That doesn't mean I don't like the idea of the xbox 360 and halo3.
I just think it's a total fucking cop-out for Microsoft to release their flagship game product on their flagship HD console product in anything less than full HD resolution. This hints at severe hardware limitations in the console hardwre.
So, is the console capable of pushing enough frames out at full HD resolutions? What would happen if Halo3 ran one framebuffer at full HD? Would it stutter? Would it falter? Would it overheat the console and crash?
70% of the world can't even read or write their own languages.
a single language will go a long way towards resolving disputes and possibly even wars. Different cultures must assimilate into the global culture or become obsolete.
On the other hand, these disappearing cultures have a lot to teach us. Tribal wisdom must be translated and passed down to be preserved for the remainder of human history.
I'm sorry you can't find a job in your field. I live in Miami. There are plenty of jobs here. Of Course, the cost of living is exceptionally high. The sheer number of immigrants here keep driving wages down. Linux admin positions here want to pay you $40k a year. If I lived up north or out west, I could get double that.
The real problem isn't government in these situations. It's corporate mentality.
Corporate managers just don't respect what we do. They think that we should be producing something. They think that we're expendable.
So, they want us to work on salary, which in Miami is low, and put out fires all hours of the night for free. The real problem for us is that we can't really do much on production boxes during work hours.
Some firms are smart enough to have two shifts to cover all hours. Others just want you to fix it on your time.
The salary model works great if you're an accountant. It doesn't work that well for IT.
Ignoring the problem isn't going to fix it, for any of us. If there were sane rules for IT workers, it would benefit us all. Including you.
Unionization is their greatest fear. This looks bad on those of us who are trying to shed that "shift worker" stigma. We're fighting hard to be seen as professionals. Our working hours are just longer than that of most other professionals.
congratulations.
And when it IS a governmental group there are lots of checks and balances to prevent misuse. maybe 8 years ago, not now!
In the US they could have it strickened from the record. is `strickened` a word in English? the word is struck.
seriously though, I have never seen a college bookstore I didn't hate. efollett is the worst by far. My campus efollett bookstore actually added a NYTimes bestseller to each English class on that campus by themselves without professor approval.
the idea is, to clear a crowd quickly. The weapon will diffuse a riot within seconds. The problem is, it's fucking barbaric! This weapon is something devised by Ming the Merciless. I forsee people in the crowd being trampled, knocked out, and burned alive. That's just bound to happen.
I guarantee you, this weapon will be turned on American citizens to prevent assembly and protest. That's why it was designed.

the NSA requires backdoor access to all major operating systems and encryption products.

sonyBMG is hemorrhaging capital faster than SCEA. They screw up their business and expect to have governments legislate them a safety net.
They're all subject to market forces. at least, in our market economy, they should be.
Fair Use is not so clear in current legislation. One thing that is perfectly clear is the ripping of CDs you own for your own personal use.
It's legal.
do I have to put up the storm shutters? I don't think my steel shutters are going to stop a solar storm :O
My PC does HD gaming!
Real HD.

Grad school costs way too much.
Living in the US costs too much.
Non-US students are getting a better primary education.
They teach their children math and science, while we argue about god.
I was born in the Sol system. Third planet from the main star.
it was a doomsday weapon destroying a nearby race of beings.
we're next. let's see jesus and mohammed and buddha band together and fight off the aliens.
wow are you dumb.
TF2 is released. where have you been hiding?
I'm playing it now on the steam beta.

go ahead and waste your money.
after trying to sue the florida bar for trying to disbar him, this should finally put him over the edge.
This man is dishonest. He is the most unethical person I have ever seen.
You can buy a rotating security key from ebay or paypal for 5 bucks.
Then you can't log in without it.
I'm not worried about my account.

What a lying jackass. A dishonest scumbag who will stop at nothing to ruin everyone's fun.
Jack, gaming is a multi-billion dollar industry. Taking on Microsoft is a sure way to lose quickly.
It must have been a bug instead of white-collar scum!
information is never a weapon. How they use it makes it a weapon
I know they do, I know someone who works for them.
Since when do they do IT?
broadband can be run over electrical lines.
the technology already works perfectly.
see if your local power co-op or conglomerate can help.
This is potentially good for Linux and potentially bad for Internet banking.
Let's teach all the russian kids how to hack. This is what we should be doing in the USA.
congratulations. And when it IS a governmental group there are lots of checks and balances to prevent misuse. maybe 8 years ago, not now! In the US they could have it strickened from the record. is `strickened` a word in English? the word is struck.
the FBI should raid their offices and lock them all up for this sort of crime.
ass raping college students for over 25 years.
seriously though, I have never seen a college bookstore I didn't hate. efollett is the worst by far.

That's entirely unethical.
