I could be mistaking, but as far as I know the USA still has some sort of treaty with most of the countries. Something along the lines of "we don't barge into your country toting machineguns and blowing things apart and stuff". Besides, the RIAA has a lot of influence, but a full scale foreign military operation?
I do techsupport, and for some strange reason I'm getting more and more young girls on the phone complaining they can't get Tomb Raider to run correctly. Now it could be just me of course, but...
If I want to relieve my stress by blowing little phosphory bits on my monitor, so be it. If I wish to unleash my megalomaniac habits, I'll put in a game of Civ. IMHO computer gaming is one of the best ways to do those things you can't do in real life because they're dangerous/forbidden/plain wrong/whatever
It is awaiting approval from the U.S. Copyright Office to become the sole agent for collecting and distributing royalties for music broadcast online.
Hmmm, the US Copyright office. And how on earth are these people supposed to exert their influence to the rest of the world? Seems there's going to be yet another reason for some of the smaller Net corps to start doing business in the "less developed" parts of the world. Guess my FTP server will have to move to the Rainforest.
Small question on the side, how about international waters? A ship with a bunch of servers on it and a satellite uplink maybe?
Last time I used Napster,
man I felt bad.
Worst download I ever had
It took six upgrades,
and ICQ all night.
Quake 3 for breakfast just to put me right.
Cause if you wanna run cool,
yeah, if you wanna run cool.
Cause if you wanna run cool,
You've got to run on heavy, heavy fuel.
That depends. If you consider clubbing someone/something/me over the head and looking if he/she/it/I hit(s) back a form of communication, then no, there aren't...
There are a finite number of symbols and the head (pointer?) can exist in a finite number of states.
Phew, good thing. Some how the concept of infinite symbols or infinite states seems a bit scary. Somehow an infinite anything sounds scary. Or is it just my simple border-requiring state of mind...
our focus should be on genetic therapy and propogation.
I sincerely hope you're Troll. I really, really hope so. On second thought, genetic weeding sounds like a reasonable plan. Why not put all inferior beings in a gas chamber? Oh wait, that's been done before. And trust me, a "perfect human" is a contradiction in itself.
Every scientist has to realize the power that comes from being able to start fresh instead of fix something that is already broken.
Two words buddy: nuclear weapons. Hit a few buttons and we can start all over again.
Good thing you got the name wrong. Had you been right, all these poor halfblind people might run in trouble when they go on holiday.

Who needs to look like la Forge anyway? With one of these babies, I won't even think once of buying a 42 inch monitor...might get a little disorienting though. Now for the important question: how do I make the doctor believe my eyesight is sufficiently bad to need one of these...?
Depends on how you define "mutant". Basically we're all mutants, considering the amount of evolution the human race has gone through. We evoluate all the time. But in the more popular term of the word mutant, yes she is one. It's a little less spectacualr than the X-Men though...
Funny watching the difference between those machines and the ones used in Robotwars on the BBC. I'll stick with Hypnodisc for the moment if you don't mind...

Gimme more!
Do we really think the RIAA represents what most artists think?
Of course it doesn't. the RIAA represents what the money thinks. And as we all know, money talks as well. In this case, quite a lot.

The guy who built this machine is obviously a big proponent of feminism.
And how do you even know it was a guy? Can you proof that?
Note to male macho pigs: WARNING!!Feministic flamewar approaching. Read threaded, ignore this one.
Thank you.

We're geeks. We don't need money. What happened to the chicks for free part?
That depends. If you consider clubbing someone/something/me over the head and looking if he/she/it/I hit(s) back a form of communication, then no, there aren't...
it's "it ain't easy, being cheesy"
I don't know, you don't seem to be having much trouble...

(just wait until Bluetooth achieves ubiquity), then you're just asking for trouble.
Eye enhancements, safe when used as directed.

there aren't any superheros flying around in the real world
That's what you think. Guess you're a trichomat, right?
Must be a convert geek, or a woman...
Seems you're handling this kind of situation completely wrong...

Him, no, I'm busy.

Assuming little junior knows how to install a modem, configure a dial-up connection and niftily hide that extra phone-line, of course...
Unless someone ports CIV to the PS2, not many I guess...
