Yes, but untill you stop all production of guns and remove every single gun from this country, and stop all guns at the border, you will have guns in the hands of criminals.
No, the new Netscape can render in IE and use ActiveX. It makes some slightly tighter security choices about it, but they can be loosed on a site by site basis.
I was just being silly honestly, didn't expect it to get modded up. Geez what are moderators drinking nowadays. Anyways I use firefox as my main browser and it is great. The new interface just has too much. Yes I can customize it, but untill I can get rid of the multibar, chance the colors, and have just one centralized tab close button. I'm sticking with firefox.
Reporting to ebay does little good, obvious because they can't deal with that many site and they don't have control of the sites. Personally I've found that I can generally track down the ISP with a litte bit of work, reporting to them gets the site taken down in matter of hours. Of course this is a lot tougher when the site in question is foreign I've found.
Current law requires there to be victims. So if you are unsuccesful or they simply can't find your victims, they could not arrest you under current law. Of course there are laws like trademark infringment but that would require the cooperation of the people you are copying.
Not nessesarly, as both cores share the same memory controller and registered memory, latency from core to core is essentially zero. I wonder if someone could write some really smart code that has one core doing all memory prefetching and the second core doing the actual computations. Could be interesting.
Is it spyware when it called itself "Critical Microsoft Windows Media Player Update", and is nothing of the sort. Then does not appear in your add/remove programs. And in fact the only way to remove it is to use a spyware removal tool. Or how bout the people that got it bundled with the Win32.Beavis virus. They didn't agree to the EULA. Now if someone can simply prove that iDownload had this hand in the creation of this virus, we could finally put these guys behind bars where they belong. Of course getting access to secret memos before they are destroyed in another exercise entirly.
No, I'm not surprised that games can explore complex issues. I'm shocked at the notion that someone out there has learned most all of their morals for RPGs. One must wonder why the examples of others in their younger years didn't contribute to their moral fiber. Generally most morals are learned by seeing others who set good examples. I read good examples of morals in books and rarly do they effect my moral structure. And I have never seen a moral issue played out in a game, that effected my moral structure. But maybe its possible.
There is a difference between holding and author "responsible" for his work. And saying that everyone should have a moral responsibility to their community to try and improve it. Obviously some people will choose neither and that is their right, but the argument can definatly be made that someone SHOULD try to be as responsible civic wise as they can.
Of course and your absolutly right, except the part about selling something for pennies that cost dollars to make, noone would do this unless they are trying to liquidate their assets.
Anyways of course we have no reason to complain when an industry raises its prices, we should then be complaining to the people who purchase at the higher price of course. On the otherhand if there is a monopoly on the item it can be illigal to bump the price too high. One could argue weither the MPAA is a monopoly, but as its not a essential service it really isn't the governments buisness.
All in all most people here see rising music prices as a bad idea, and firmly beleive that the industry will lose money on it. But apparently the industry is willing to lose money and point to the P2Ps for blame.
Ok, then answer me this, how come I can buy a box of cereal which is significantly larger and more expensive to ship for 2-5 dollars? Yes people buy them in larger quantity thats for sure, but people would also buy music in larger quantity if it was 2-5 dollars.
Well digital signatures, without a handshake type of auth just means that if someone copies your info exacty, they can copy your digital signature exactly also. Of course if someone feels the need to change something slightly, than yes digital signature would make that difficult.
I've never seen the ACLU put forward a suit counter to what they want in an attempt to get the opposite effect... From a legal standpoint that would just be stupid.
Did you see the most recent episode with the captured Cylon? Obvious religious intones. Either way as I mentioned in another post, in the original book (written by a Morman btw) the cylons were very relgious and belived they were made by god through man to destroy man for worshiping other gods. How far the writters of the new series take this I can't guess, but its become pretty obvious to me that this has becomes an integral part of the plot.
Ok must have missed that part, believe it or not my tivo fucked up in the middle of the second half of the miniseries. I didn't worry about it much and continued watching the rest of the series without worrying about it.

Review talks about how pleasing the new toolbar interface is. GAG. Its absolutly horrendus.

Come on, I horribly mangled the grammer in the entire post. Why are you picking on just one part?
Sorry, I was speaking of the AMD design of course, and Intels memory controller is off chip (and I believe not shared as well).

Wow, its actually called a "Wall Wart Remover" for some reason I'm slightly disturbed that "Wall Wart" has become official terminology.
Though you do hear of the occasional recall due to potential to cause a fire.

Your correct, I was more saying that personally I don't have an issue with a company being or abusing a monopoly unless its an essential service.

I, personally, have obtained nearly all of my morals from video games, especially playing RPGs
Wow.. Just Wow..
So maybe they are trying to sell this for space based solar power. Not too far fetched.

Not to mention the fact that you may steal the car. Should one seriously expect to anonymously be able to rent anything.

Also expect to see allies with Cylons who are sympathetic to the humans.
