Well Fox has hired many people from both sides of the spectrum and are basically told not to hide their feelings and say what they really think. So you do hear extremly right wing and left wing beliefs. As opposed to more news orginizations which tend to lean to the left but try their best to hide that fact.
HAHA, sorry no what I was implying was that I didn't expect it to be of commericial quality, but I liked many of their ideas. And am seriously considering helping them.
No its just that there are obvious bugs in the installer, something which could have been done better if it was thought through. Thats all. Otherwise its a wonderful idea, and as its created by volunteers I really can't complain.
I tried installing sorcerer back when it was first mentioned here a few months ago. And I had nothing but problems (firstly that it wanted an internet connection for getting kernel patches before it had any idea how to connect to the internet (and it didn't want to sidestep this part) and then that its version of lilo wasn't really made for being in the MBR). Anyways, has anyone tried it sence, have these problems been fixed yet?
Also come to think about it, I know some small towns in florida that are ticket happy, so it could also just be my county that does that with the money. Shrugs.
Yea, I couldn't either, I just know that one time when I paid a ticket they gave me a receipt that had the breakdown that showed where my money went. I've had several tickets and only one time did I get this receipt, and have talked to several people about it, some who have gotten the receipt also some who havn't.

Wouldn't really call it closed source, its BSD, its the GUI thats closed source, and all the api's are fully published.
Why wait 3 months? If you buy it immediently, 3 months down the road, you'll be able to patch it to the same point that someone buying it new can. And you will have 3 months more playtime. Now if the issue is, I don't have the money to spend, and I'd rather save up and wait till its ready, sure go ahead. BTW the beta is quite stable, its balance issues that are getting the most work.
Not a bad idea, obviously you'd have to do a lot of testing to make sure there is no ground water or anything. Also if you drop a nuke underground (as opposed to in the air) the ground with be radioactive for a very long time.
Yes, but that computer box takes up a lot more space than the raw materials. Also the materials are pulled up from under the earth and put ontop, creating a bit of a mess, like pulling all the stuff out from under your bed, and throwing them around the room.
Yes, but there is a difference between a quote and someone summarizing what he said. I'll go back and find the text later, but what he said was that he likes the.NET security protocols (not MS's security model as a whole). He tends to live slightly in the sky though in thinking that MS won't try to embrase extend. But anyways the summary is a bit misleading
What I'm hoping, is this was the work of some late night lawyer working there. Wishful scene. Blizzard guys come to work in the morning, read all the emails. Fire lawyer, say WOW this BNET thing, thats great, now we can release a public beta intended to run on servers other than battle.net and we don't have to worry about overloading the server. Yay! Call up the presses!
Sorry just a dream! (I'd have to buy 5 copies of WC3 then, just on principle)
But this is also a limited beta, in which you can only play on battlenet. For some reason they want to limit the amount of people who can see the beta, I don't know why, but they do.
Your assumption that education levels increase with communism seem a bit silly to me. Where is the evidence. Yes china has better education but so does japan, its simply more important in the culture than it is in the rest of the world. Our countries education level is also socialized, I don't see how the government being communist would change it at all, except possibly we'd have even more burned out not caring teachers than we have now. Yay!
Well the cool thing about Be was it could run ontop of windows. Or by itself. That way you would get the huge multimedia advantage of Be while still being able to run your Windows programs. Many computer makers were very hyped and ready to ship computers with Be and Windows. Microsoft came up and said "Excuse me, according to your license you can't install a second operating system on a computer with windows installed, period."
Well them putting your name on it while mangling it is covered by other laws like libel. They could say, "Based on work by so and so," or some indication. But they would definatly have to make not that its not your work. You say, what stops people from doing that, well the law. Nothing more than the law stops them from doing it now.
You have rights to it, just that if anyone else has a copy they also have rights to it. Btw as you are the author, you'd be suprised that people are generally more accepting of buying a physical book produced by you, as opposed to one produced by brand X. So 20 years from now, your competing in price, name recognition (in which you have the upper hand) and quality of the material and layout of the printing (this is ever true for e-books because the way its laid out, is still very important)
Ok this is a complete joke, the time loss being so slow. But I have to wonder where did they get their figures of global-warming increase. As sence the 80's the amount of toxins in the atmosphere has decreased. So it ultimatly makes absolutly no sence to me, I guess they went on we are pumping out X amounts of toxins a day figure, not accounting for the natural ability of the earth to fix itself.
Well remember the guy put up generated email addresses, meaning each address could be datetime/ip stamped as to when it was harvested. So basically when he got spam it was as little as 8 hours after that generated email address was created. I do wonder what the time span from when the site when up till the first harvester hit, and maybe a nice graph of time up/number of harvesters would be interesting.

Tell me how you would regulate contributions and I'll tell you how it would just make matters worse. Go ahead be clever

Yea, my AG is also VERY interested in "misbehavior" too. Maybe my AG can meet your AG and misbehave together. -wink wink nudge nudge- say no more.

Actually in my state (florida) all but about 10 dollars of your ticket goes to charities. You should checkout the breakdown in your state.

Oh yea, of course.. Noone would ever accuse you of being partial to aqua based themes?? Yea right...
The DMCA refers to the breaking of encryption, I don't believe it has any revelance on a device that helps you copy non encrypted data?

Also any reprints you do, you still retain rights to exact layout, meaning someone couldn't just photocopy it.
