As for music... every mp3, m4a and ogg on my computer, I own the CD for. So there.
Is it actually legal to download a copy of something you taped or not? In Australia it could be an issue, but what about in the States?
Don't worry about it. Here in.au, you have no fair use rights at all save quoting for the purposes of critique and educational study. All those mp3, m4a, and ogg files you've ripped are quite illegal, just as if you never bought the cd in the first place. Everyone you see witht the little white earphones (seems to be everyone in brisbane)? Criminal. There's no time shifting or format shifting allowed here.
Australia: Where trade agreements get us all the ass-pummelling corporate-sponsered IP laws from the US, without all those pesky rights and freedoms.
Move to australia. ABC (more or less our equiv of bbc) is airing every episode, 6pm monday through thursday... We're about a thid of the way through tom baker, he picked up leela a few weeks ago.. I missed her:)
Baby cane toads are great! They make such a wonderful popping sound when you step on 'em! But then you get in the mood for stompin', and you see a bigger one on the way back to your place, and have to stop yourself from stepping on a big one at the last second... fucks up one's balance I tells ya.
3DO ssf2t was the only way to play the arcade at home until the PC was fast enough to do it mame (and the roms were decrypted). The PC version had most of the mechanics spot on, but a few things were off and I really missed the little glint in ken's eye before he did the "shoryureppa":)
Close. Bush asks for $FOO, Australia bends over. If we don't, bush slaps tarifs on our farming exports (while subsidising US farmers), and our economy keels over. Of course everybody not in power likes to complain about the liberals being "america's lackeys", and to act like they'd be in a position to do something different if they were in power.
Don't modern projectors work by shining a white light through a (polarizing) LCD? Hence a rotated polarizing filter would block all the light? I guess you could rotate one of the projectors:)
Either will work, as long as they support the SELECT.. FOR UPDATE; UPDATE; ROLLBACK|COMMIT; paradigm.
Then you're shit out of luck. Here's a game I like to play called "working for mysql nuts":
a) Need a useful ansi SQL feature available in any real database, even jet (access) b) Remember mysql doesn't support it (but it's coming "real soon now" in the next version) c) bang head against desk
What is "torture?" I mean, really. Aren't we really just splitting hairs here? One man's "brutal interrogation" is another man's "questioning session." Besides, this sort of thing has always happened throughout history, but in previous American wars there weren't nosy reporters snooping around all over the place.
Oh, cummon you can't seriously and with a straight face say that having to wear panties and have naked photos taken of you constitures torture, no matter how strong your religous convictions.
Alright, now I've gotta throw down. I've got a (protected, so it's ok) method that goes through the data, and removes anything with a bad parent link that points to an object that no longer exists:
protected void departmentOfChildServices() {// Removes children with bad parents
Yeah I know, but friends in C++ lets you grant protected access to classes outside your package (doesn't it? a decent standard was aways in the future when I was doing C++), whereas there's no way to do that in java.
I've got comments like that. Before some API code I didn't want other developers using (stupid java's lack of a friends keyword) I had this:/* This code isn't really here *waves hand mysteriously, dates supermodel */.... nasty sql code..../* mmmm, supermodel */
Fanatical moslems may want you dead, but it's only the fanatical christians that are "offended" at the drop of a hat, because they know it's the best way to get the spotlight on them and push whatever ideas they have along, or to victimise some fat texan kid (is there another kind these days?) with a little cartoon devil on his shirt.
GPS is like $200... if you can't afford it, you've really got no place out boating (in your own boat) in anything bigger than a tinny, or anything other than clear, daytime weather.
Movies will still get made, but they will be low budget indie-type movies made by artists for art's sake. And they will, 99% of them, suck donkey dick. I've seen low budget films, and they are just BAD. Good movies require millions of dollars to make. Name the last 10 really good movies you saw. Or 20, or 50. How many were low budget (something you or I could make) and how many had budget in the tens of millions?
You've already answered this. Supply and demand. If enough people really want to see $100 million plus movies, they'll pay to see them. They'll realise pretty quickly that if they don't pay to see spider man, there's not gonna be a spider man 2. And if they refuse to pay, then they didn't want to see it so badly in the first place. Most importantly: All the future unmade movies have no right to exist. If the movie industry ends, so be it. I like big some big budget flicks, and I pay to see them at the cinema, even tho I have a broadband connection and azureus and I don't have to.
Besides wich even if copyright were thrown out monday morning, the ??AA are still free to excercise whatever technological means they please to stop (most) people copying their garbage.
Ah yes, but he's talking about mortal kombat. Game gear owned gameboy if you were a mortal kombat fan, MK2 on gg even had very limited voice support, not to mention the fact you could pull of heads:)
Bullcrap. The screen looks mighty nice I'll agree, but there's nothing sexy about the psp. It's a (massive) rectangle with round ends. If it were any bigger, you could rest your xbox on the thing.

Ok, I've messed around with it, and I was wrong, you really can't lose on the first click. Either they've changed it or I'm on crack :)
Bullshit. I've lost on the first click many a time.

Sounds like a Metallica track :)
The mildly radioactive stuff, spread about town in some fashion, is good enough isn't it?
Well, so is hitting a few hundred people over the head with a lead pipe. But neither one is quite a nuclear bomb, is it?
