So, if their justification of having kids serve years of jail time is 'they were well aware they were breaking the law' - why is it that the **AA's - who have been judged with price fixing time and time again, and whom I'm positive were absolutely well aware that price fixing was also breaking the law - have never been served with jail time themselves? Here we have kids sharing songs - wrong indeed - but to a very limited audience, as opposed to a very powerful organization fixing prices to a demographic much, much larger. Why is it not then appropriate for the AA members to serve even longer jail sentances?
You might have seen a house fly. You may even have seen a super fly - but you ain't never, ever, seen a donkey fly!
That would explain brutha numsei in the golden child, i reckon.. Didn't know he was in the air force. Perhaps he invented flubber and robin william's is just covering for him..
Until VOD (at least in my area) is capable of delivering the resolution quality (I have a HDTV) that a DVD does, as well as being delivered in at least 5.1 surround sound, I'll always take the 10 minute drive to the video store to get better quality/surround sound experience over convenience of VOD.
I'd be awfully upset if the reasons i purchsed my home theater setup for in the first place suddenly became unobtainable. Certainly VOD will improve to that level (perhaps it already has in other markets).
Why does the entertainment industry seemingly ignore large scale pirates who are making money off of selling copies and obviously detracting from sales, and instead target hoards of college kids who have no money to pay the court costs/settlement, and are not profiting at your industries expense? Don't such actions largely result in a bitter taste in your consumers mouth, leaving them less inclined to either halt actions which the industry deems inappropriate, or less apt to embrace alternative solutions put forth by the industry?
Perhaps they'll be able to help me track those damn lost socks that keep allegedly disappearing in my dryer. Satellite tracking, cameras, computer databases - never again will I be forced to wear mismatched socks!
It's a product called EcoPLA (PLA is for Poly-lactic acid). The first commercially available PLA product was made available in 1996, I believe, and the PLA is generated, of course, from the corn milling processes. The original production facility was in Savage, MN (it's still there, actually). Starch is converted into sugar, then fermented into lactic acid. It is hydrolyzed into lactide, which is converted into PLA resins using a solvent-free polymerization. They degrade into water and carbon dioxide, and are photocatalyzed. As with conventional petrol based plastics, they provide good oil and grease repelling properties, as well as good odor and moisture barriers. They can be used for injection moulding as well as interwoven products, can be opaque or translucent, pliable or firm.
But doing so is tantamount to curing cancer by killing the patient. Forbidding playing of a movie doesn't address the reason why it was even under consideration in the first place - in fact, it demonstrates tacit support of the extant social reality, and an unability or unwillingness to change it. The islamic world in general is faced with a growing cultural crisis as the world continues to shrink. Increasingly they are seen as intolerant and barbaric due to the actions of a few, and creation of social structures that reinforce the behaviour of those few reinforce the negative position.
Yes, because even w/o the influences of the great satan of the west, islamic fundamentalists a such a peace loving people, committed to the continuation of "social peace" and avoid "crisis" at all costs. The area isn't exactly reknown for embracing freedom of thought - or even freedom in general. To suggest that their social problems are the result of western movies (which aren't even being allowed to be shown) is ludicrous. It's always easier to blame your inadequacies upon others.
If it's taking you 20 minutes to copy a 17M file, you've clearly got something wrong. I routinely copy files that are in the area of multiple Gigs in size from one hard drive to another hard drive in a fraction of the time you describe. Your problem is not one of platform (yes, i'm in OS 9.2.2, and on an older machine - g3 266 beige). You might want to run a disk utility or assess the integrity of your drive.
Why would it not be legal? If I don't lock my windows of my house, and someone uses that entrance to enter and take my belongings when they clearly realize it's not their house, am I at legal fault because I hadn't taken the precautions to securely seal all possible entrances to my house?

Just 'fer giggles should any of you try this, mix your financial data and a number of personal photo's into your collection of songs, and rename them to popular songs, placed w/in folders that are named after popular bands.

I'm from Minnesota. There's a *really* great fishing lake named Lake Shockandawe - it's just to the north of Lake Woebegone. I'm pretty sure it's Indian for terrorist.
Trade secrets: Beyond a doubt there are piles of things in the source code that could be considered trade secrets. One way to protect trade secrets is to make certain that they are widely available but not legally available
This isn't quite right. Trade secrets are just that - secrets. They are secrets that the company elects to protect by not publishing. However, if those secrets are discovered by someone else, or somehow otherwise made public, you have just lost any rights you may have had. The alternative is to patent them, in which case you gain limited protection (time frame, licensing fees, ect) but have just told the entire world how to do it, step by step. And not every country recognizes the same patent law. There have been recent medical cases where S American countries have broken pharma patents to provide cheap, effective medicine to it's people.
As a kid, i didn't have access to hobby shops, but I did have a desire to make things fly. I also had a town pharmacy and grocery store, and between the two of them, they sold enough materials to make your own gunpowder (won't give the details, if you want to blow your hand off you're going to have to go it alone). Had some kraft paper, and fashioned a plastic mould to shape the engine. viola! home brewed rockets (more often than not, home brewed explosives..sometimes we combined the two 8-) )
'course, that doesn't address the threat. of course it's a potential threat. but you can just as easily rig a dispersion device to the exhaust of your automobile or the smokestake of an 18 wheeler, tie something to a pigeon, infest a hoarde of fleas and let 'em loose, etc.
I installed it yesterday on classic. Although the manual references the authentication process, the subsequent installation didn't seem to utilize it. That the manual references it seems to me a precursor to implimentation, however..
I believe that the last iteration used a controller that didn't fully make use of the speed of the RAM. Does anyone have insight as to 1) what processor is in here and 2) if there's an updated controller that's able to fully maximize the new faster RAM?
apple plans to make money. Of course they'll charge for apps at some point. You buy their hardware, it'll come installed on the equipment and you won't have to buy it (or the costs of them are buried in the total cost of the product, much as they are now). However, if you want to keep current with additional features, you should pay for it, just as you do with every other piece of software written by companies who are interested in making a profit. why wouldn't they? and why is the rumor news here?;-)
I'd think that secure communications would be A #1 priority with these things. You know the/. crowd is gonna spend hours upon hours trying to break the communications (what cooler way to get a girl than pick her up in your very own aircraft??). If you all are working on breaking communication for control purposes, you better bet your left nut others will be doing the same, and with far more advanced tools and bigger budgets that you all have. You'd almost have to go to a rotating frequency ala IFF systems to minimize the risk of hostile takeover. With a drone, you no longer have to screen for utility knives or blockade air cabin doors to keep terrorists out - but you do need to be wary the guy with communications equipment and an electrical engineering degree who may be interested in flying one into downtown Chicago...
It's well hashed out how easy it to to fool fingerprinting biometrics, so let's not have at that again. It's a neat concept, but flawed system. To easy to fool and not bulletproof enough to allow for every day accidents that happen in the kitchen (heaven help me if i cut my finger cutting veggies AND burn it on the stove..)

For as long as man has realized that there are boundaries he can see, but can not effectively explore, his imagination has run amok and placed all manner of fanciful creations into them. "dragons be here" can be found on unexplored maritime areas on old maps, yeti signs are found in impassible mountain ranges, and sirens in the ocean depths.
This doesn't mean that there aren't monsters in these areas, mind you, but rather than man's propensity to create them in his mind usually results in more monsters than actually exist. The unexplored regions of space today are no different than the middle of the atlantic 400 years ago.
Most of you reading this forum have jobs, eat 3 meals a day, have a fair amount of disposable cash with which you can purchase laptops, fancy GPS items, and 200 dollar sweaters.
Most of the world doesn't get paid more than a few dollars a day, can't remember the last time they ate 3 meals - let alone balanced meals - in the same day, doesn't have a television or magazine subscriptions, nor the ability to read those magazines if they did have them.
And here I'm seeing whining that you didn't get x% of your salary as a Christmas bonus for doing the work you were hired to do at a salary you agreed to prior to accepting the job.
No wonder half the world hates Americans. I'm ashamed of you myself now.
