um... guys. That was a PROTOTYPE costume. And, damn, he looks cute, tho. Not quite as metallic as I was expecting, but then, probably will be painted when all is done.
I think that they are trying to get people to think that it is a serious movie, major fight scenes, incredible CG, and then... Marvin and Beblebrox. that or Have Ford in the elevator or something like that. Tip off the viewers that this is going to be freakin' hilarious right at the end of a real trailer.
TV. corporeal. Mass. replaceable by a different item, only.
please, tho this is not me condoning it, copyright violation is not stealing someone's property. It is acquiring a perfect copy of intellectual property through shady means.
Um... You have not experienced the frootyness that is angry AOG scary side walk preachers have you?
also, why is it so hard to have this be the way that the creator thought it should happen? Is it because some white male said so? Where in the bible does it say, AND GOD CREATED ALL THE CREATURES ON THE EARTH (BUT NOT BY ADAPTIVE EVOLUTION OVER MILLIONS OF YEARS)!! 'cause, it doesn't say how. It just says it happened. It is NOT IMPORTANT. If you are a christian, focus on the real issues. Don't try to slam a very well upheld theory because it clashes with Hebrew oral poetry that is the Torah.
Please also refer to the fact that it was made illegal by the company who patented nylon's senator after WWII (Anyone know about Hemp for Victory?)
the fact that it looks like MJ aside, it was all about profit. hemp is a fantastic material which should be utilized, as it is useful and environmentally friendly.
I would just like to say that everyone here is damned bitchy. Who cares if they use it as a pseudo-pda?!?! Why does it piss you off so much?!
also, why, if they want to, does it get under your skin so much when people buy something for the innate functionality of it, not the hacking potential? Does this make your nose stick up? Does this, because it is so "mainstream" make you want to talk down to them?
and because you believe that the iPod is wonderful, would it really hurt you to admit it's short commings?
Get over yourself, all of you. As an early adopter of Linux and the iPod, I understand how hard it is, but it can be done.

Yes, protecting them from people like this "Terra" chick. She has bush all riled up and all the Southern congressmen wanting to hunt her down. Her and her followers.
I would bet this "War on Terra" is really hurting the poor girl's self-esteem. Somehow, i think the hate of Terra is misguided. Killing off terrorists sounds like a better idea to me.
While it may not be directly applicable, DAMN does this guy have a point. Even if it is a tangent.
It is time that people actually start speaking out about SOMETHING in life. If it starts with this, that would be nice. Especially if it spreads to other things. Don't get turned off by the seemingly frooty rhetoric of this guy and you will see that he (or she) is rather spot on.
America! Land of the ____, home of the _______?!?!
Do you realize how disgusting it sounds to say that everything must be turned into some dollar value?
the enjoyment of not smelling that shit stench of a paper mill is of what value? Well, you can put it into land value, hospital bills and such. but, come on, would that really amount to anything in the face of people who think the bottom line of life is money?
that is an impressively unhealthy way to live life. Why not do something because it is a good idea for others? Would consideration be too difficult in the Western World? It sure seems to be.
Ok, people. It is time to think beyond money now. Environmental impacts actually count too.
this, money only counts thing is what got a lot of people, like the robber barons, USSR, and enron in lots of trouble. The COST includes more than what amount of paper money goes into recycling.
So, does that mean that we should all have the right to own automatic assault weapons? I know a lot of SEAsian kids in CA who would say you are a bastard for that one.
It can go other ways too. Why outlaw Heroin, performance enhancing drugs, counterfeiting? Bad guys can just get or do it illegally.
by the way, how many times have you been mugged? I have been mugged once. I know that my hands were shaking like mad. Had i had a gun, well, i could not have pulled off an accurate shot, ever, in that kind of state.
no, The only solution is that of a cohesive society that tries to keep people within it feeling like they are a part of something good. Just read the culture of fear and read up on self fulfilling prophecy.
Not to mention the fact that hand guns were developed for close range killing of humans (why would you need something stow-able and capable of firing multiple shots?) and its purpose has not changed in the time it was first made. Rifles are for killing at long range, and are great for hunting, so they are serving SOME good purpose.
Not to mention that if people feel safe, go out on the streets, have fun, do all the things that neighborhoods used to, and should do, the crime rate would go down.
Not just because there would be a unified resistance and shunning of the person who committed the crime, but the potential criminal would probably feel a part of the community and not feel safe taking from that said community. The fear of others (the "other") is what is allowing these things to happen and crippling the society.
Actually, it sounds like they are pointing this out as well. Some of the greatest achievements have come out of odd places (take a look at the first real understanding of the structure of DNA).
I would appreciate it if everyone would start using good analogies: cars are material, songs are data. While I believe that songs should be payed for, it is not *stealing* or *Pirating*, it is copyright infringement. These foolish euphemisms make it out to be worse than it is. Call a rose a rose, a thief a thief and a copyright infringement just that.
Disclaimer: Unless the songs being shared were not available on any of the available download stores, these people are deserving of what they have received (if the idiots at the RIAA have done their research). But going after stupid kids is kinda cheep, i must say.
As someone who has been cornered by police by biking in a city that has few bikers, taken a wounded drunk to the hospital and had a damned funny movie on, I would have to say that the whole system seems to make people who are supposed to be serving and protecting US think that everyone is a criminal. As someone who hasn't broken a law in over 10 years (comon, you didn't as a teen?!) it was really insulting to be treated like someone who was going to attack in my Reefer Madness!
Why should a tax paying citizen be presumed to be breaking the law without even questioning what is going on?
My brother worked with 2 Pakistani guys at a pizza shop. One of the was uber devout, would not TOUCH pork. the other did the 5 times prayer thing and, out of sight of his countryman, chowed on canadian bacon and ham.
When my brother asked him he said that he had been like that, then he called his dad his 2nd month in the states. His dad asked him how he was liking America. He explained his difficulties in keeping clean from pork "contamination." His dad laughed and told him
"son, you need to try ham and bacon. Sometimes sin is good. The profit didn't know what the hell he was missing"
That is just one of the sites that noted that it was a deal with Xerox, who thought it was failing as an idea, to give some tech to apple. note: this is not STEALING! It was expected that Apple would use the technology.
The buttons for the same things are put in the same place, the scrolling display and the play buttons are in the same config, just on the bottom, the browse and CD cover display are the same...the damned browse button has always been an eye button. come on, it is a direct copy with bad graphics and one change. it is blatant. Should they be sued, don't think so. not like it is going to go anywhere.
I don't understand, is it that she has a different computer? a different mp3 player or are you just ultra libertarian and any control is "evil." the DRM AACs have not posed any problems with sharing with my wife on a different system or with her CD player for running.
btw, not too many people so far have been intelligent enough to use the playfair program so, it still keeps from mass distribution in some capacity.
IT is not really that difficult to use, now is it? 7 burns of the SAME playlist (you can change it up) and share on 5 computers and infinite iPods. rather DAMN lose, don't you think. Or are you an all or nothing person? Personally, i like the restrictions because of the ability it has to somewhat protect artists funds. Would like it to be more for them, but this is the legal option that we have... oh well.
btw, i have done the burn, rip circumvention, it gave me a good sound file. It really was not that bad, even on the classical selection that i had. Also, do you think that this is the way that Apple wanted it? I doubt it. It is the RIAA pushing this extensive DRM scheme, the least evil of them.

no no.... It doesn't spread really good because (as the title of your post indicates) it is Evil. What you outlined is why it does not spread WELL.
