Once x number of people ignore you (percentage of total in game at time), you get ejected - and barred from re-entry while the percentage of those that ignored you remain in game.
You then go buy your flash / hard drive and install yourself - or better yet - the Apple store sells the drive / flash separately, and installs it for you.
We (the people who have to pay this tax) get paid back.50 for each song that we buy (be it digital download or off of a CD) due to the fact that RIAA and Canadian equivelent are stealing from us due to overpriced crappy products.
Oh, as to assuming that we're all stealing, I would now presume that we have a reason for a class action libel lawsuit due to the fact that they are essentially calling everyone on the North American continent thieves. I assume that not all of us are, and should stand up to these people who think they can get away with spreading lies.
And that's different from food not being shipped because it can't be grown due to global warming how?
No, no I understand. We can ship food NOW - but if we cut off oil related fuel usage, we wouldn't be able to - only because our airplanes don't run on alternative fuels.
Now - we can fix this by modifying the planes. However, if we continue to use oil based products and raise polutant concentrations, increasing global warming, we won't actually have any food to ship due to burned out crops. This would also mean that we won't have food to feed those who DON'T live in 3rd world starving nations.
But please, continue to use oil based fuels - YOU won't have to worry about it, just your kids (if you have any) will.
Step 1. Stop amazon rain forest harvesting. Step 2. Cap all oil wells, and fill in all coal-mines. Step 3. Wait 10 years.
No negative impact on the environment will be felt. The only negative impact will be on our ease of life until clean alternatives are developed. ie - Force the issue.
Research discovers that asshole managers lead to pissed off employees who end up not doing their jobs as well, or with as much loyalty as those who have managers who actually treat their employees with respect.
Cure - kill the asshole managers. (Remember, the study was sponsored by the Military - that is their typical response to a problem isn't it?)
However, he doesn't have the actual mindset to get there. Ie - he actually forms an opinion and expresses it, rather than sitting on the fencepost in titanium underwear.
I still have the original print of the book, where L. Ron Hubbard himself clearly states that he did not consider it to be a religion, nor did he intend to allow it to become a religion. Gee, did he actually die of normal causes? Or was there some other more sinister event?
BTW - If "Ice Ice Baby" can be considered to have different music from "Under Pressure" because of 1 minor change to the tempo, then 1 different (or incorrect) step for the "Electric Slide" makes it a completely different dance.
Wouldn't that mean that it was public domain for 26 years? Wouldn't it also mean that all of those people who were "doing it wrong" weren't really doing *his* dance, but another one that's strikingly similiar?
Does he really have a floor to dance on? I can't imagine that he does. If so, then I'm going to copyright the "coreography" of copywriting bad dances 26 years after the fact. Then I can send a C&D to him and tell him he can't copyright his crappy dance. Note: Terms used, such as "crappy dance" are purely opinion, and cannot be misconstrued as anything but opinion.
Carjacking - ie - you're in your car, at a stop light, or sign - someone pulls a gun on you, forces you out of your car. As you exit, you brush against the *carjacking* button installed with your security system.
So know - you aren't waiting around for your car to be *stolen*. I said carjacker - not car thief.

If something like that happens, do you really want to play with them in the first place?
Honor among players....

And exactly how much was the tax for a ZERO storage iPod going to be?
.01 fee.
The unit would be purchased WITHOUT storage.
The user would then purchase storage components to be installed for a nominal
Or you could just shop online and have it shipped without the taxes/fees.
They weren't going to be taxing hard drives - only flash.
Purchase your flash drive from the US. (The RIAA hasn't caught on yet.) Keyword being YET.
Comes WITHOUT storage.
You then go buy your flash / hard drive and install yourself - or better yet - the Apple store sells the drive / flash separately, and installs it for you.

If you pick the right friends, you won't have to worry about it. Eventually, they'll get there on their own.

I said CLEAN alternatives.
Fission is dirtier than Coal and Oil combined, and the waste from them lasts a helluva lot longer.
Fusion, Solar, Hydrogen, Wind/Sea Turbines are all viable alternatives - once we get the efficiencies up.
My 3 Step plan to ecological balance.
Step 1. Stop amazon rain forest harvesting.
Step 2. Cap all oil wells, and fill in all coal-mines.
Step 3. Wait 10 years.

You'll also be the first target for the disgruntled employee who decides to go postal.
Life expectancy of a fucking dumb ass playing at IT management, and then bragging about it? Roughly 3 femtoseconds.
So go ahead - collect all your "stuff", and lose your friends (if you ever had any).
Oh and btw, you CAN'T take it with you.
Except for the fact the Jesus never spoke to any pope.
The pope is just a fictional character dreamed up by men to try and make more money for the Catholic Corp^H^H^H^HChurch

Jack Thompson is overly opinionated, overly impressed with himself, and doesn't know when to STFU.
So it's no wonder that he has gotten (and continues to get) himself in legal troubles.
Never has been, never will be.

Anyway, no one is doing it incorrectly, they're just doing a different dance that *looks like* the electric slide, so he should just shut the fuck up.

Actually, in the long run, this is probably good for AMD.
Reason being? More ammunition for their lawsuit against Intel.
Actually, he probably wouldn't get it.
He probably has 20 or 30 HD Camcorders lying around unused, and thought, hey - I can edit HD movies.
I really don't want to know what's on those tapes. You shouldn't either.
Dude, when you're bashing MS / Vista - it's NOT fud - it's just the truth.
LOL - codeword for this post was "layoffs" - future for MS anyone?
Oh - and BTW - just to prove the "More money that brains." - it's "sanctimonious" you pinhead.
Which is why there are phrases such as:
More money than brains.
More money than common sense.
Too stupid to live.
