  1. VCRs on Copyright Infringement and Shoplifting Contrasted · · Score: 1

    This article seems to refer to something that is available on DVD at retail outlets.
    What of TV shows that are not for sale on DVD.
    Lets say "Enterprise" season 4.

    Is it illegal to download it for personal viewing?
    Without sending any parts of it... some torrents clients you can do that, but the download is proportional to your upload, so it would take a rather long time, but none the less doable.

    Is the really any different than me Recording it, from the free in the air tv signals?

    For example, local TV station can be picked up with out can cable subscription, and I could then record the show, to which ever medium.

    would really be no different than me downloading, never uploading any parts...

    Any opinions on this scenario?

  2. The Memories on Wing Commander 3 Reaches Ten Year Milestone · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I cannot believe it has been ten years already!

    I hope some games, like movies and music, are remade, with better graphics and such, hopefully without destroying the game we all came to remember. ;)

    though it seems like space flight sims are not a popular as they used to be.

    Wing Commander/Mech Warrior have all died off it seems.

  3. Re:Open Beta is going to be awefully short then! on WoW Street Date Announced · · Score: 1

  4. Open Beta is going to be awefully short then! on WoW Street Date Announced · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Looks like Open beta is going to be fairly short, as it is still be be announced according to the world of warcraft website.

  5. I'd play this game on Meridian 59 Offers Free Trial · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'd play, but billing and account support has been so terrible.
    I signed up on the re-release by the new developers... took a break, and was still billed by their billing company they use... took like 3 months of extra billing to finally have them stop!
    Now, I attempt to return to the game, where they never remove accounts, and cannot get a response on getting my account info back.

    to bad...

  6. Re:Obviously on Which VNC Software Is Best? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I heard, he could run for "Vice-President" is this true?

    and if so...

    what would happen in a scenario of the President not being able to continue, would he become president, if he could be vp that is.

  7. Re:The funny thing is... on MMOG Subscription Analysis Provides New Insights · · Score: 1

    There was MMORPG that was in development, like this, alas, the company went under.

  8. Re:My cousin works at Google: on Hotmail Blocks Gmail Emails (and Invites) · · Score: 1

    I just sent email to my hotmail account...
    and received it instantly...

    no delays.

  9. Re:Sure-fire cure against lame pirates on Night Vision Goggles vs Pirates · · Score: 2, Interesting

    or, have IR emitting from the front of the theatre, toward the audience... cameras, will wash out in the light...
    but shouldn't affect the audience.

  10. Another SCO vs Linux Question on Ask Red Hat CEO Matthew Szulik · · Score: 1

    The timing of this switch to, "Enterprise Linux" comes at time when SCO is demanding that the Linux distribuitions License their code, Is that Redhat see that SCO could possibly win this battle, and to cover themselve, have moved to the Enterprise model, where people, and then "Licensed" for the so called SCO source that is in the Redhat and any other linux, distribution?

    The timing just seems so suspicious to me.

  11. Re:EQ isn't too good on EverQuest: What You Really Get From an Online Game · · Score: 1

    Star Wars Galaxies is also being produced by Sony.
    so your most likely to have similar problems as EQ.
    as Sony says, in an article, the money to made, is in online MMORPGs.
    They don't care for the community, just your money, and Galaxies will have that Star Wars nastolgia to it, will become the next EQ, least until EQ2.

    for the posts following this one, M59 is the pioneer of Graphical Online RPGs, as it was the first. and the best, which I still play to this day.

  12. Why not Handhelds on Where are the non-SDMI MP3 Players? · · Score: 1

    First off, have you seen the memory on Handhelds?
    have also seen what memory availbe to handhelds?
    I have a Ipaq, 32 MB or memory, then you can add a 512 MB CF card. then you have no probs, and if that is not enough you can get a IBM Microdrive 2GB to add to the Ipaq, now granted there is costs to this as well, but if really needed, you could also use the handheld to download the mp3 directly, would even need to transfer from the comp to the handheld.

    personally, I am happy with my Handheld as a MP3 player, mainly cause it's an all in one unit, hell I can even rip my DVD's into divX and watch them on my handheld.

  13. Re:Ha! on How Much Do Employers Budget for Education? · · Score: 1

    oh oh, that just happened to me!! I guess I have to remain employed for another year now or risk being sued. I was told exactly that. you must be employed one year to take educational courses. So I sign up for course, go through everything, and the afternoon before it starts, I am told that I have to remain employed for 1year or pay back the cost of the course, if for whatever reason I am no longer employed.
