well, why on earth would you bring a camcorder in to a theater? To watch another movie?
While your statement is technically accurate, more so than mine, it actually makes little to no sense, as no one would bring a camcorder to a movie theater without the intent to record the movie. right?
(of course, now someone will try that now that it's been suggested.. just to try it)
Well, even though a movie theater is a private establishment, who can say "no camcorders allowed" and then just boot people out, calling it trespassing because you've violated your "license" to use their premises, if you enter with a camcorder...
There are some people who just won't take that. They will blow up, and get all nasty, and then try to sue the movie theater, or whatever.
I can't even IMAGINE bringing a camcorder into a movie theater. I already thought it wasn't legal... as it is, it's obviously theft..
OK, so they went from ahving 7.4MILLION dollars, to NEGATIVE 1.6MILLION dollars, because they had to pay their law firms.. so, they are paying these law firms (let's see.. 7.4 + 1.6 = 9..) $9 MILLION dollars. I don't think they are getting their money's worth here!
Sounds like a crock to me, I really haven't changed anything on my system between when i used 2.4.19, and 2.5.x and now 2.6.0.. and 2.6 is plain faster, more responsive, and appears to give me MORE free memory than 2.4.19.
This deserves a "Troll" mod. I've been using pre-empt since I started using 2.5, because it had the pre-empt patches built in, and have not had any problems whatsoever.
What the fuck are you talking about? Operation Desert Fox has been going on since before the first Bush had left office. I know - I lost my best friend, stationed in Saudi, during it. Who launched a half-assed attack against Al Qaeda? Can you find a reference to "Al Qaeda" that exists before 9/11/01? Not likely. This is all made up bullshit.
Even if Clinton lying about getting his dick slobbed on took attention away from what was still going on in the middle east, as a result of the previous Bush's actions, lying about getting his dick sucked did NOT -cause- the death of thousands of people. Every time Bush makes a statement, you might as well chalk a few hundred casualties up. (one of them being intelligence)
Wow, I expected to get immediatly turned into Flamebait, then tarred and feathered, and then drawn and quatered.
Now, the fact that it's an AOL ad kinda sucked. I thought Salon was more for the technical types.. but then I've never poked around in there for anything but news from Slashdot.
There should be a way to moderate replies like this straight to the trash bucket, before someone starts suing Slashdot left and right for copyright infringement.
It's EA's world, EA can do with it as it pleases. Even if that displeases it's customers.
Of course, if it's customers were displeased enough, they would go elsewhere for their online crack addiction. Right?
Basically, it's just stating that this guy's not pleased (which he has every right to be) that the company used their right to censor the world that is hosted on their servers (which they have every right to be).
Well, normally, that's all OK. Just there are these people (and virtually every resume that has ever come across my desk is as bad as those examples) that insist on giving me their resumes. If your objective is to be in the food services industry, why are you telling me this, when I'm in the retail electronics industry??
I had this guy come into my shop a few months ago, it went like:
"Hey, can I fill out an application?"
"Sure.. *flips the web browser to our internet application* just fill out this form here. When you press Submit, that will send it right to our offices."
"Hey.. let me ask you a question.."
"Sure thing!"
"Why does *company name* only hire white people? You need more niggers like me around here. You fuckin uptight whiteys are why nobody buys anything here."
"You need to leave now, sir."
"I ain't leavin, you cracker!"
"*i pick up phone, call police* Leave, now, Sir."
Keep in mind. I work in retail. Retail electronics sales. Thank God we do all of our application processing over the Internet now, and no longer accept resumes, except when pasted into the Internet Job Application Form. But now I don't get the utter hilariousness of people seriously thinking they are going to get hired with things like the following (remember. Retail. Electronics.):
"Objective: Seeking a job in Food Services....
Major: Novell Networking"
(ok, majored in college in novell networking? and seeking a "fries with that" job? and applying in an electronics store???)
"Objective: To be an asset to an organization who needs I can fulfill and obtain a position or responsiblity in the sales feeld." (this is exactly how it was typed)
"I have very good communication skills, multitask oriented, self motivated can get along with various people, I do what im supposed to do when it be done and i'm experienced with dealing with people. I'm willing to travel."
"Education: I received a diploma from holy Redeemer in which I studied college prep classes on June 4, 2000." (this person didn't go to school very much?)
"In January 2001 I attended Henry Ford Community college where I studied basic English"
"responsibilities included help elders with personal care keep them company do thnig around there homes if needed. I did not quit or get fired."
"In January I will be starting school at NIT and taking computer classes to help me until I go to school for my real Major."
"Education: Fordson High School. [Enter your major here] GPA: 3.0 [Enter additional school information including honors, campus involvement and other activities here]" (oops, gotta check those default fields!)
"Responsiblties: Install new, used, and repair tires." (huh?)
"Objective: To obtain full time employment as a Prep Cook or in a Hotel Banquet Facility where my abilities will be utilized and where there is room for growth and opportunity." (I figure this guy could make us lunch every day.. hmm.. think: retail. sales. We don't need a cook.)
"Reason for leaving last employer: School stared back!" (I think she meant school started back.. but that still doesn't make sense in any brand of English that I know.. although I know what she meant.. I'd like to see a school that stares back, though. Maybe a good Stephen King novel.)
"Reason for leaving last employer: Hair cut." (????)
"Previous employer: Financial Administrator for the Yemen National Government." (ok, what the hell are you doing applying for a Retail Sales job?)
I've got a hell of a lot more, but these are the ones easily accessible from where I'm sitting right now. Enjoy!
We've had this discussion before, when it's been posted several times before.. this particular one is only powered by the USB port's power.. it is not controlled via USB.
However, I was just informed by a friend that there are models that are capable of being controlled by the computer, and include software for remote usage. I don't know if this is accurate or not, and I'm not going to google for something like this from my work machine. Anyone?
I just wanted to add that I had put this in as a submission 3 days ago. I know the submission big can be a bit lagged, but I know damn well it isn't 3 days lagged. Grr.
Unfortunatly, the rust warranty has expired now, and due to it sitting in my driveway dead for three years it kinda took on some rust. oh well. lol.
I've been really happy with the car. I think if it hadn't been for the particular Dodge dealer that I took it to (I learned long ago not to take ANYTHING to a dealer unless it was covered under the dealer's warranty) I probably would have not had these issues.
Not that this is really relevant, but just before Daimler bought Chrysler, I purchased a Dodge Daytona. I had it in for service at Dodge dealers, under the used-car warranty i purchased with it.. due to a "hesitating" issue.. the motor just didn't run right, at highway speeds. Several times. Each time, they told me there was nothing wrong with it. Each time it went away for a week or two, and then it was right back to hesitating at highway speeds. After a couple of months of this, I finally took it into a Mercedes service center, as Daimler had purchased Chrysler. They honored the warranty, diagnosed a problem, fixed it, and i went on my way. A month later, just as I crossed the warranty line in mileage, the engine shot a rod through the oil pan.
3 years later, my lawyer finally got Daimler to pay up and install a completely refurbed engine.

try any video card with framebuffers enabled. i've yet to see framebuffers work with anything in the years it's been around.
I didn't say that. I said "sounds like a crock". lol
:D
everyone's being all testy and uppity, on my responses saying "hey this is how it's been on my system, ymmv" basically.. lol
i can't wait to install it on my 486dx/25 to find out how it works there
Sounds like a crock to me, I really haven't changed anything on my system between when i used 2.4.19, and 2.5.x and now 2.6.0.. and 2.6 is plain faster, more responsive, and appears to give me MORE free memory than 2.4.19.

Doesn't matter - getting the prize requires an explanation of how to solve the last puzzle. :D

You're not kidding about that, even if you think you are -- at the first International Slashdot Meetup Day, I met an 8 year old Slashdot reader!
