Disagree..com.au is full of double standards. You can't register a generic name. A company I worked for had lantern.com.au (the name of their product) rejected as being too generic. Now they are lanternsolutions.com.au.
Unless you have clout. Then things like shop.com.au, buy.com.au, news.com.au, are all your oyster. Because your name is Rupert Murdoch. Or orange.net.au, etc.
Want proof? Isn't the linux kernel commented in english?
And originated in England, a small island off of Europe (THEM). Clue: `murkans didn't invent everything. You'd think you might realise that from the name of the language.
Aureal filed for bankruptcy, leaving me with a VideoLogic card with shoddy beta drivers which didn't work a whole lot, and "are not going to be updated". Fuck that.:-|
Disagree. Australia has a first rate Telco, esp. when listening to complaints here about US West, SWBell etc... Don't even begin to start me on how much money I wasted trying to call Phoenix from a payphone at LAX. Nearly $10 for 10 minutes.
But yet, one in three people here... 6 million of 19 million, has a GSM or CDMA phone.
Hogwash. If I (in Canada) link to a DeCSS site, is the American government going to step in and shut me down?
The MPAA sent a cease-and-desist to 2600.org.au demanding they take it down, or face immediate action based on recent court rulings. 2600 Australia laughed.
Which is why I loved watching (for the first 15 minutes) Australia thumping the Dream Team... I think the scroe was 14-4 at one stage. Then reality set in.;)
the only thing they don't get paid for is the actual competition, and this is only a small portion of the money a pro athlete makes. Just ask Tiger Woods.
Or Miss Kournikova, who is going to be making the majority of her money from marketing, because she sure ain't gonna win a grand slam any time soon:)
yet another volatile stock thats going to go up 100 points in the first day and then drop back to its original price
Why would the employees/owners of the company care? They're the ones with the stock options, who'll make a mint, and everyone else will be left carrying the can.
Extrapolate backwards... Cisco Pix Firewall has a Pentium II (266MHz I think) processor, and it's traffic throughput (with filtering) is rated at circa 170Mbps...
What you're saying sounds remarkably like "it's okay to steal as long as you make it a non-profit effort". You can steal from artists by using Napster, because you're not making money. But others can't, because they're making money.
If something like this can make the mainstream press, please trust me when I say that we have such a law. It was even highlighted a few years ago when a "trap" car (I forget what they put in the front seat to make it so interesting to passers-by) was set up at a local beach and used by officers to establish probable cause for detaining people.
Glad to see entrapment is still legal in some places. Not.
First of all, I'm pissed that the UN has any say whatsoever over me as a US citizen.
Don't blame the UN. Lobby YOUR congressmen about this. After all, it was they who voted the US to become a member of the UN, and applied their citizenry under it.

Fine.... .com.us then.
You do realise you're not in a position where you can retroactively modify terms of agreement?
How did Win2K break Matrox DH? I'm using it without a problem (Millenium 400 AGP, with two Philips 109S' attached)...

Like encryption? Though I know that's moving in the opposite direction, it has a grain of relevance...

Or oligopoly?

Paul Allen invested in Transmeta privately... not Microsoft.

Heh. You used 'enforced' and 'freedom' in the same sentence. How can people be free if you enforce something on them?

That's wrong.
"You're solving the wrong problem!"
Windows 2000 is "pretty obsolete", "obscure" and "nearly dead"?
Here's a point... WinXX is the most popular OS on the planet, like it or not. It is NOT "obscure".
I think I'm feeding a troll, though.
Offtopic: What a bad choice, acronym wise...

they should remember that any one of the several hundred times a year they put motions before the UN, then.

It was also the first CD to sell a million copies :)
i guess "re-releasing" is apparently now a synonym for "distributing stolen goods"?
