  1. Re:This could be stupid... on Bookseller Purges Records to Avoid PATRIOT Act · · Score: 1

    I wonder if you thought through your comment. They are only purging customer buying records, not the fact that they actually sold a book. The IRS wouldn't care if you sold a book to Jack or to Jane, just that you sold a book.

    Does Phoenix will have (forced to?) have the paladium's required functions?

    I tried to make sense of this sentence but my internal parser core dumped. Luckily my newly installed Phoenix Core Management Environment diagnosed the problem as a gramatically challenged sentence.

    For one of our projects we've had to uprgade to XP but third party software for another porject only runs on NT and 2K so we are actually running 2K inside of XP using VMWare.

    It may come as no surprise to people that genereal network browsing is much quicker from within the virtual machine.

    Seriously I wonder if this can be used in psychological warfare? Bombard Saddam with this on a regular basis.

    Why bombard him with soundless music when we can bombard him with tasteless music. 24/7 of N-Sync should pound him into submission.

    So you can handle all the TLA (three letter acronyms) that run riot throughout the computer industry but when someone uses a common abbreviation you can't find a soap box quick enough in order to preach the evils of abbreviations. Time to take a chill pill.

    Yes, I am fully aware that the media must use the word alleged until the person is actually found guilty. The point I was stressing was that Habib was not fighting in Afghanistan, nor was he exactly holding an al-Qaeda party.

    But I guess the media might as well have straight out called him a criminal since there seems to be no chance of him ever being tried infront of a jury.

    Oh, and I'd really like to see the hard evidence you have against Habib. You could pass it onto the US authorities and then we could get his execution over and done with.

  11. Re:DAMN! on Australia May Adopt DMCA-Style Copyright Regime · · Score: 1

    If there is one thing Australian's live for, it is seeing us out do you Poms. On the sporting arena it has become all to easy, but when Tony Blair started licking some Bushy ass we knew we had to bring back Little Johnny Howard. We do have to give you Brits some credit. You pulled a swifty on us. We had no idea Blair could lick ass so well. I guess we, the Australian public panicked a bit. What were we to do. Little John was lying through his teeth about boat people and locking up 'deadly' refugees for years. But we needed an ass licker. So, with our country's pride at stake, we voted him in for a second term, with a clear mandate to lick ass till he had worn his taste buds right off his tongue.

    Blair performs well, he's got good form. But his only weakness is that he sometimes tends to think for himself. This is why we chose Deputy Ditto, as we affectionately call him now, to go into bat for Australia. Johnny's ability to think up of absolutely no ideas himself has made him tough to beat. But I think what really sets him aside from Blair is his small stature, just the right height to lick ass.

    Sorry if we've outdone you again but we'll let you beat us in soccer :)

    No offense taken, I'm not an arab. However, I fail to see how the slaughter of millions of arabs would be part of God's will. I just don't want you to get your hopes up that God will help you kill them all.

    Can't agree more. Sure, I'd like all music to have a more GNUish flavor to it. But hey, it's up to the creator of the music to choose how it is licensed (roughly speaking). It's not like it is a MS EULA adapted for music where if you buy a Celine Dion CD you must destroy all your other CD's because you quite obviously have lost all taste in music. It simply requires you to pay for what others have produced for your listening pleasure.

    What? So you point to the totally inhumane things other people do to justify the not as inhumane things going on at Camp X-ray? The "I'm not as bad as them" argument may work for you but it doesn't for me.

    Strength does not command respect. You earn respect, you don't threaten it out of people (watch Braveheart and checkout the interaction between deBruce and his dad).

    Dear Mr AC,

    You obviously did not read my post. If you had you would have noticed that it stated that he was captured in Pakistan, not Afghanistan. Secondly, no, he was not waiting for the bus to Sidney, wherever that is. One would think that after the 2000 Olympic games you would be able to spell it correctly. My guess is that he was buying fruit from the local shop but neither of us know exactly what he was doing do we. Finally, Habib is probably more common than you think. Australia has a growing middle eastern population. Glad I could help you out with some simple facts. Next time, just try to stick you head up your ass just a bit further.

  16. Re:(signed by Bill Clinton) on P2P File Sharing Could Cost You A Bundle · · Score: 5, Insightful

    WRONG!

    An Australian man, Habib, was captured in Pakistan and took no part in the conflict in Afghanistan. His crime? He has alleged links to al-Qaeda.

    So an Australian citizen, captured in Pakistan is being held by the US, in Cuba without rights to a lawyer or even consulant visits.

    Now please explain to me why one half of the world hates the US and the other half is getting sick and tired of being told to fall into line.

    All these licenses are very restrictive. People and organisations who use license restrictive licenses should be boycotted. It's time the /. community really stood up against restrictive licensing.

Most of the lego products where found hidden under amongst decoys under fake vegetation within the raided homes.
