There've been plenty of NN charges against regionally significant topics, all because the detractor has never heard of it. Googlecounts and Alexa are among their sacred ammunition.
When water flows around a rock, Smith explained, the water recombines after it passes the rock and people looking at the water downstream would never know it had passed a rock.
Is that even true? It seems to me that the flow pattern of two identical channels, one with a rock and one without, would differ in a way that would be detectable downstream -- at least if you knew what it was supposed to look like without a rock.
I love, really love, all the stats that show that We Are At Peak Oil Right Freaking Now (And Then We Will Plummet Like Mad). This to me is like saying The World Will End On October 18, 2006, So Repent Now Or Perish.
If maybe these studies showed We Hit Peak Oil Three Years Ago And Now We See A Definite Downward Trend, or even We Will Hit Peak Oil In About Ten Years, Give Or Take, then there may be something to it, but this Hey, Peak Oil Is Right Now, We Swear stuff just sets off my We Really Don't Know When The Fuck Peak Oil Will Be alarm.
Does flipping through a book in the bookstore violate copyright? No. Any publisher that doesn't want people reading books they haven't bought had better not sell them in stores or sell them to libraries. Holy crap, I'm surprised the library system hasn't been either sued or legislated out of existence, due to the impact their socialist practices have had on book sales.
Take copyright out of the question. Not wanting people to preview your material is stupid business practice, and bad for consumers and the public.
Google Book Search provides online what book stores already can in RL.
Didn't you ever wonder how they made all those Free Speech Zones at presidential events? They clearly cut them out of American airports. As a result, due to the laws of thermopolitics, there are "holes" in the free speech layer.
I'm guessing the answer is no, but, will the Wii be able to download software from places *other* than the Wii Shop Channel (without creative network management)? The Wii could graduate from "casual gamer" market if it allowed homebrew games and -- here's the relevance -- apps such as, say, FF for Wii (and screw this commercial browser nonsense).
Reading the comments rfjason's various fora, it's clear he certainly has a sizeable like-minded "fuck the weird" and "humiliate the different" following, one which rivals that of Tom Leykis, Bill O'Reilly, Morton Downey Jr., Jerry Springer, et al.
People like to say that Seattle is just like high school. Jason Fortuny proves them right. He's LiveJournal's very own shock jock.
Could this be the latest in the criminal world's security strategy? Can we expect to see Spectrums, Archimedes, and Atari STs turning up in police investigations soon?"
No, what this means is that soon, anyone who owns or purchases an old piece of computing will either have to submit to a background check or be put on a DHS watchlist. Because there is no reason for a normal person to own an old piece of technology other than for nefarious purposes.
While the opening night experience at a large theater in a large modern city was probably fantastic, there are only so many seats among those theaters in those places on that night compared to the rest of the weekend and continent.
I saw it at a large theater two days after opening night and in a dense suburb and the audience experience was dead. (I mean, come on, they didn't even laugh at the dick joke.)
If you wanted to go for the audience experience but missed opening night, then you probably don't want to see it in the theater at this point. That being said, the movie is plenty entertaining (in a B movie way) on its own. It will likely still be a cult classic, and like all good cult classics (and even some non-cult classics, like It's A Wonderful Life), it won't do well at the box office.
Finally, much blame is due to the studio and distributors themselves. There's no way they should have spent $30M on the movie. I realize a lot of it was for the CG snakes (which, as CG go, were rather good IMO), but damn.
Maybe in a few years or so we will see Snakes parties, complete with snake and airplane motifs, and late-night showings with a toy snake in every chair, and free admission to anyone who brings a real snake. This is the scenario the studio should be expecting... not $30M on opening weekend.
In "The Cathedral and the Bazaar", Raymond talks about how he and O'Reilly tried to trademark the term "Open Source", and have it defined by the OSD.
Classic cabalism. "My personal circle of associates are superior to the rest of you, so it is right and just for us to solely dictate." Wasn't James Coburn in a movie or two about the problems of prejudicial wonkocracy? Let's not even get into the anti-openness of such a move (which is especially ironic for the term "open source") -- I'm sure it's been said.
Actually in retrospect I think termination/resignation is too harsh. People who use AOL do so at their own peril. This has never changed. The AOL search data is important in that it shows us all just what sort of people average Americans are. Lest we believe in some hope that the average American is fundamentally bright and well-adjusted, we can always read the searchbox insights of the lives of such people as #711391 and #6396631.

Score one for the hack-and-slash theory of corporate management.
Would it take 'additional material' to get you to keep buying CDs? What material would you like to see?
The guaranteed right to share what I paid for.
I didn't say you needed an expensive lawyer. You just need someone who can serve as your lawyer and write threatening legal letters.
Even deadbeat dads can afford lawyers. Cheap lawyers, but lawyers nonetheless.
It seems like all the blocked sites need to do is hire a lawyer, file a letter threatening lawsuit, and get a chance at being unblocked.

It was only fire department calls; fires and paramedics. No police calls.

That's why they want google to pay for their copy, just as bookstores and libraries are required to pay
Well then, I expect in their model that Google will get a cut of sales, just like bookstores do. Hmm?

Haven't you seen it yet?
That sounds like my co-worker's attitude towards UT.
Him: "I need to learn to dodge and evade."
Other: "Didn't they teach you that in the military?"
Him: "Not with a keyboard and mouse."
Encourage end-user tagging, compare on popular tags for matching a la LJ "people who have the most in common" search.
Or leech off of IMDB's recommendation system, which seems to be quite good.

Just because an act's illegal doesn't mean it should be.
Bands don't usually get to decide how they share their music, either. Labels and cartels do.
Problem solving and creative thinking is an essential skill in technology, whether you are a developer, administrator, QA, etc.
I wonder if the Chinese media is collectively considered a reliable source.

without the right conversaion tools, coverting that to plain text, muchless PC readable media, is going to be tricky without the right C64 hardware.
Too bad they don't have a C64 with the same hardware and software like that used by the perpetrator.
Oh, wait...!

Yes, it can be a scarlet AOL logo instead.

That only applies to criminal cases, not civil ones.
