(Max Lib Here) Psst... Dude, Clinton deregulated banking structure and exotic investment products. He even apologized about it last week. GWB kept the stupid ball rolling. Just don't take the bait from posts like that. Just write down his name, wait a month, and then mod his posts into oblivion.
Seriously, if you have kids, you should try it for a month. No PvP, but still - PvE where you actually can have a piano drop on a bad guy is pretty frikkin hilarious. Then one day the game becomes a grind like any other. But the first month is pretty damn fun.
Just this minute I showed my GF a Downfall parody. It was her first. The first thing she said after it was over was "Wow, that looks like Downfall is an interesting movie. We should get it."
I can only conclude the the guy that thought Takedowns for Downfall was the same guy who thought "New Coke" was a good idea.
I'm sorry, I did not mean to ignore your point. Yes, Reasonable People would say that Flying Nuclear Reactors would present a Great Danger to us all.
I'm sure our parent poster up there, if he were still alive today, would want to amend his post to point out that each flying car with a personal nuclear power station would naturally be equipped with a personal nuclear regulatory agency and a personal nuclear emergency containment vessel.
I do not believe there is cause for alarm! Don't you think "personal nuclear power stations" sounds rather hyperbolic? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbole
To me the issue is simple: Apple claims jailbreaking your iPhone in order to run apps of your choosing is a violation of the DMCA. The DMCA is a piss poor, innovation-stifling, megacorp-appeasing law. As long as Apple supports the DMCA I will not buy one of their products, I will not buy from iTunes, and I will not recommend their products to my family, my friends, or my clients.
"The schools found that the changes to passwords and course work were made from the same IP address. Police obtained a court order from Cox Communications to track down the original computer and then targeted a home in McLean."
The only thing preventing this kid from being offered a high-paying IT job was the fact that he didn't have the foresight to use a public library computer.
It's Blackboard Learning System (BLS) - many schools use it. Chances are he did it through URL manipulation. I tried to get my son the hack it but he refused. He said, "I don wanna know about web sites and stuff and then end up haffin to fix Mom's computer like you, Pop." Broke my heart.:(
I'd laugh, but my son (14) is in a new public school this year and I have discovered I have literally enrolled him in what can only be described as a war zone - on top of which the Good Guys are frighteningly stupid, reactionary, and hidebound.
You have a point. FL's been rocked by a number of scandals where Human Services employees repeated failed to check on foster kids and the kids were starved or beaten to death. Sounds like predictive software should be used to predict which HS employees are failing to do their job.
Yar! That LFNB (it sucks we need that acronym) article he wrote was sad and true. I wasn't expecting the world to transform into ponies and rainbows when I voted for Obama, but I sure as hell didn't expect this.
Worse: your boss drags you into a pointless meeting where you have no input to impress a CLIENT - and you know if you lunge across the table and plunge that letter opener into the jugular of the yammering sales rep your boss will want to have a meeting about THAT. (On the other hand, of the client likes seeing the sales rep spurt blood you could get a promotion - after the obligatory meeting, of course.)

Dammit, what is this thread about?
Toontown was almost there.

He has. Cue links to Hitler as a Meme video...
Sweet!
Answer: OLD ENOUGH
Y'know Jobs founded a religion that was based on swapping two floppy disks over 40 times just to copy 65K.
Some of us are still EXCEPTIONALLY pissed about that.
"just because two people use the same algorithm doesn't make one of them a plagiarizer"
The irony - because of skroooie US patent laws - when two people use the same algorithm it makes one of them a IP infringer!

"The industry is still losing a lot of money to piracy as the market becomes more online-based." WTF? Like people pirating World of Warcraft?

Geeze, 9 year olds, when will they ever learn?

Oh this is awesome! I'll be able to bill many more hours to fix this one once the emails start rolling in... hey, WTFs wrong with my mail server?
"Deep" doesn't even begin to cover it. Read the Philly articles if you haven't. Massive Collective Stupidity by Adults that Should have Known Better!
Jon Stewart's got at least a weeks worth of material to joke about here.
Please... those words are so painful to me now.

I wish I could mod myself down. This was a wisecrack folks and not worthy of any mods.
Damn crazy kids these days...

And anything more complicated users should PAY ME TO FIX IT! Hurray!
You know how moderating is; just one +1 insightful and then your traveling down the slippery slope to more.
One small punch to Bart Sibrel, one giant smackdown to woolly thinkers.

I fear PJ will only get the Pulitzer after SCO is DEAD DEAD DEAD, and that's gonna take a while... damn corporate vampires!
