Yeah, and since they know how to read (they do, don't they?) why don't you buy them a book or two (or are they way too expensive?) and let your children develop good imagination and reading/comprehension skills... Anyway. When a child can read Julius Caesar by Shakespeare at 13, I guarantee you he won't be watching TV much.
Oh, by the way: Shelter your kids, and they'll get pregnant (or get someone pregnant) at 15. Educate them, and their brain will be mature when their body is, and they'll have fun instead of abortions. You do think that sex is fun, don't you? (a rethorical question, not intended for PhoenixFlare)
Exactly. Last saturday there were 3.5 million people on the KazaA network, sharing 1/2 billion files. Heck. I found everything I was looking for at 192kbits and higher.
And why should I subsidize their failed business ventures^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hartists? If they lose money on the others, too bad. They need to be more careful with their money instead of flying everybody around the country in jets and dispensing payola to ClearChannel (gross trollish overgeneralization, so sowwy)
I want to go to their site, listen to the music, then "order" a custom-made CD with 15-18 WAV tracks with the track titles I choose from the "extensive" library, in the order I wish, delivered to my house, with a nice jewel-case, and an insert with photos and lyrics, delivered in 3 days.
Then I'll pay the 99c per track. Heck, my wife is arranging music for a party. She has a list long like her arm. She would already have ordered 3 CDs like that. Instead, she's scrounging to find the tracks with friends.
If I lived in a police-state (which I still delude myself into thinking I don't) and I was chief of the unofficial "Media Control Division", I would rename the division to something more catchy like "Media Relations" and instead of pushing laws in congress that would not have a chance in hell of passing, I would harrass journalists, herding them this way and that, and making sure that they could not talk to just whoever they wanted; that I would make sure they don't take pictures of any military action or installation, and that they understood that the people who provide them with sensitive information are traitor and must be revealed to law enforcment for reasons of National Security.
Of course, I'd never do that, because my, hum, "psychological profile" would not fit the job description of anyone fit to run such organization, so I would not even be asked in the first place.
Censorship: because you can't formulate the correct answer if you don't formulate the correct question. True censorship tries not to cover up the truth, but rather tries to stop you from asking questions.
It is in such discussions that being an American does not feel so great in the grand scheme of things.
The patent office just needs to take its time and thoroughly review each patent, taking hower long is necessary. Of course, compaies will complain, and Congress will be pressured to allocate more money (like the SEC) and there will be an investigation/calls for changes.
Except of course that his requirement was that the viewers would have stop rewind and fast forward capabilities, so unless you do something fancy with the remotes, it's going to be hard.
Have rooms. In the room, large TV. A cabinet, in plexiglaz, with a lock. In the cabinet, a dvd player. A remote-control, in the room, with a security wire.
Dude comes in with his buddies. Wanna watch the latest hollywood trash. Clerk behind counter says: Be right back. Sets up DVD in DVD player in the room. Makes sure movie works. Collects the $2 for the flick, then says: have fun.
When they leave, they leave. They can't take the dvd with them, cuz it's in the dvd player in the plexi case.
You guessed it, you can still control the dvd player with the remote through the case.
Unless you happen to have a non-us and non european passport. If you are egyptian, chinese, or ukrainian, you can probably travel safely.
(I had to think about this list pretty hard, I guess that proves your point) (also, don't travel to the US on your egyptian, chinese, or ukrainian passport, the hassle won't be worth it)
Maybe they should be rounded up and... (fill in the ghastly blanks)
Anyway, people who are rude in movie theatres should get kicked out by management. If they aren't, then don't go to that theatre anymore. If you don't have class, others won't either.
I think maybe that they have the cojones to do the "Right Thing", knowing full well that they could rock the boat on a silly law that many americans dislike intensely yet cannot do anything about because of the Ascroft Posse.
If he manages to come here, and manages to win, then I will personally be grateful for his act of courage in the face of adversity.
Because, of course, he doesn't have to come here. There is absolutely nothing the US can do to make him come here. (Russian Army, Nukes, UN Security Council, War on Terror, etc)
Take a highly skilled engineer, an equally skilled architect, and a team of 60 well-trained construction specialists, and you can put together a bridge.
A million barefoot workers working 24/7 with a basketful of dirt and rocks, and you can manage a dam, perhaps.
It is better to have a small, highly skilled team that a large lumbering one for many projects.
except of course that it's at scripting.com and that dave is widely read by media types. Heck, even the new york times (don't they have a baseball game to cover--go Angels) did a blurb on/. recently...
Slashdot Mirror
How about the hummer browser, referring not to the car manufacturer but to the act... ;)
My vote for Mothra too..
You can even say: This browser is one Mothra!
Must be because you didn't want to read Shakespeare but rather watch TV?
We're not obsoleted by vibrators... Well, unless they make one that says: "Yes Dear", "huhum", "is that right?" and "You're right" when she vents.
:)
and later does BZZZZ for a really really long time

Nahh,
I want to go to their site, listen to the music, then "order" a custom-made CD with 15-18 WAV tracks with the track titles I choose from the "extensive" library, in the order I wish, delivered to my house, with a nice jewel-case, and an insert with photos and lyrics, delivered in 3 days.

Of course, that is actual censorship.

Thanks for watching KXXX, fair and up-to the minute reporting. We'll be right back after this message from our sponsors. Don't go away.
Yuckkk!!!

I would say he needs to take over an adult arcade.
Then, instead of showing "Tranny potters" he could show "Trainspotters" for one token/minute.
So:
What's the price tag, the range, and is it FAA approved as a light aircraft.
Heck, it would be cool as hell for a studio magnate to fly from MTV interview to MTV interview in.
Unless you happen to have a non-us and non european passport. If you are egyptian, chinese, or ukrainian, you can probably travel safely.
(I had to think about this list pretty hard, I guess that proves your point)
(also, don't travel to the US on your egyptian, chinese, or ukrainian passport, the hassle won't be worth it)
IN that case, no laptops for the french.
A vodka-powered laptop sounds cool.
I grow potatoes, I distill, I pour into funny-looking yellow container, and presto! I boot the PC.
This could be great for travelers. (name a country in the world where there is no vodka)(except in the middle east, we don't wanna go there)
Also, it's a stable power source, it's readily available, does not require non-renewables, does not pollute, and is long-term storage.
it would be funny if it wasn't so unfunny.
... (fill in the ghastly blanks)

Something I learned about manpower:

I want them to advertise on MSNBC...
Better to support sucky local bands than to give money to the RIAA so they can pay their freedom-stealing lawyers.
A non-crashing computer. Our MIS department has no budget. :)
Oh, but only the win partition. The linux (now redhat 8.0) is rock-solid.
Exactly.
I start a line of cosmetics called June.
I then make tons of money because my stuff makes old women feel young.
I then say:
Oh, now I am famous, and I ought to be able to use
june.com exclusively because any other use would dilute my brand.
And, oh, by the way, all women named June need to pay me royalties.
And, The Month of June will be renamed in the english language as "The Month formerly known as June".
Nissan is being fucking ridiculous... If they want a unique name that no one else in the world has, why don't they get a catchy IP address?
