  1. Re:Cedega OK... What about wine? on Blizzard Unbans Linux World of Warcraft Players · · Score: 1

    Cedega aka WineX are based off of wine. There should be no discernable difference on their end.
    You should have nothing to worry about what so ever except where Cedega has better support which can't be released publicacly which wine it self does not posses.

    People first, then money. Not the other way around.
    Pass laws and enforce them.
    People (Real honest to God people, not corporations looking like people in the eyes of the law) are allowed to save money.
    Corporations are not allowed to hoard money. A company saving money is a oxy moron, all they can do is hoard.
    Illeminate Soft Money contributions.
    I think that would be a tremendous start in the right direction.

    Yeah, right. I know that's what they think, but come on. Do you really make your purchase decisions based on that? I don't.
    In fact it works the opposite with me. The ones that can afford to yell at me the most are GOING to be the ones cutting corners and using the cheapest materials or resources in their product or service in the end run. They all start out good and then when they get comfortable and think no one will drop them or if they do it won't amount to much compared to the hangers'on they start cutting back. Gotta maximize those fucking profits you know!

    Really the only case where your arguement applies to me is with oriental food where you really don't know what your going to get if you haven't ordered it before and even then it's not the same or as good at every restaraunt.

    Those in the know should set them selves apart from all of this.
    Blacklists of companies not to do business with as well as their partners (out to the edge)
    should be maintained. Whiny friends and family members should be left to "burn" them selves
    until such time that they are willing to take direction and actually "listen" (and ask questions over what they don't understand).
    Ensure there is no gray area to allow them to pander to those not in the know.

  8. Re:Cargo Cult Science on Prof Denied Funds Over Evolution Evidence · · Score: 1

    Throwing GOD out IS throwing the baby out with the bath water which is what I interpret what your saying to be.
    Are you saying there is no GOD?!
    If so your statement of, "You can still be a devout Christian and understand evolution and accept it happened (I'm not a Christian). By rejecting Creationism they don't have to reject their entire faith." is wrong. If your not saying there is no GOD then what did you mean by, "The problem is most Christians forgot God was a metaphor and are trying to interpret their flavors of the Bible as absolute fact and history." If there is no GOD then how could he have given his only begoten son?
    Without GOD in the equation a Christian has no faith to speek of as there then could not have been a Saviour, Jesus Christ!
    Your attempting deception and I don't think I'd be far from truth to say this is a lame attempt at "All your base are mine" bullshit, TROLL!!!

    I just had a contract end with IBM working for cendant and that is what they are still doing. Only they're tightening everything down and expecting people to burn the candle at both ends for them. I got to go through what I've read many others grip about here over the last couple of years. People keep expecting there to be a huge backlash against these companies but I fear it won't happen. That others playing the political game are aware to some degree or another and just keep bailing out companies when they paint them selves into a corner tells me the US may as a whole may never learn and will kill IT until they can squeeze no more and will then proceed to squeeze things however they can in the medical industry (as if they aren't already) and everything will just collapse. The US as a superpower will be a joke and will have no position of influence or power due to unchecked greed and care more for money as a society than actually equitably serving society as a whole. Care more for money than for our fellow man is what is killing everything.

    I've only ever heard this out of the mouths of women on TV but have your heard the phrase, "If I can't have him NO one will!"?

    If so I think it should now be obvious.
    If they can't be the ONLY one's making money off music then NO ONE can.
    Think about it. The internet allows for a new distribution channel.
    The RIAA's members *CAN* utilize this new distribution channel instead of
    or along side their current physical distribution channel but now they
    have to, *OH MY GOSH*, compete on value and price. Those who can now
    distribute via the internet via P2P, web, bittorrent, etc... can't just go
    distribute physically like the RIAA's members can.
    What has the RIAA been doing for years now? Going after ***EVERY*** online
    distribution channel until they kill it or bring it over to the dark side.
    Selfishness, Greed, and lust for control and power.
    The only outwardly virtuous thing (from the perspective of anyone but them) about them in my opinion is their hubris. Great thing about them is they probably have no ability for reflection and so won't ever be able to say hindsight is 20/20.

    It's very well understood that the RIAA and it's members put out a couple "good" songs on their most popular ***SHIT*** along with ***EVEN GREATER SHIT*** and that of the singles they make they are not always what the person looking to spend some money wants. Like the below poster stated your saying he should go buy it and shut up. Seems to me your feeling empathetic to the fucktards at the RIAA which means your either a shill, in the same line of work or one of those same ass hats. In any case SHUT THE FUCK UP!

    I don't buy music from the labels. If I do buy something it will be from someone who them selves offers some of their content for free distribution in a non drm'ed form who is independant.
    I think it's well understood why some don't buy and why some download without paying. Many people over the years have posted their reasons and non but a small percentage have been of the thinking you keep attributing to **EVERYONE** who expresses any dissatisfaction with the RIAA's members and their practices like as though they're hiding the real reason of.. of.. who the fuck knows.
    Seems to me your just bitter and people in life most often become bitter when they have or are loosing money. So I feel pretty safe in saying. GO FUCK YOUR SELF!

    Hunches and unconfirmed suspecions are different than knowing that it's been ratified on paper.

    How long did our for fathers spend arguing over everything? A couple weeks? Months? Years?
    I personally would want them to spend 3 years at a minimum going over all this stuff before they try and codify it into some document that will be difficult later on to correct for any loopholes and such. That does not mean 3 years starting from when the shit hit the fan. That means 3 years from the day they conceive of doing this or even better starting from the they day they begin tackling it seriously and not just mulling it over.
