As long as Nintendo has widescreen support requirement for every title like Microsoft and Sony are doing I won't care. The fact is that Microsoft and Sony will be running HDTV modes with less anti-aliasing than they will on the lower res 480p widescreen mode inorder to keep performance up to par and make maximum use of the hardware in both modes, so really their HDTV modes won't look any better than their 480p widescreen--except in FMV clips (who cares).
They don't advertise with Google anymore. They do advertise with http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=click+fraud&sm=Ya hoo%21+Search&fr=FP-tab-web-t&toggle=1&cop=&ei=UTF -8">Yahoo. When a company like Google goes big and gets popular, people come out of the woodworks trying to sue it for every scrap they can. This quickly starts to drain a company unfairly. Go to the above link, and check out Click Defense's offerings, I'm sure they will be thrilled.
Sure, conviently they were all done under different user names. That is a little too convient for my tastes. And I was the third astronaut to walk on the moon, though it was under a different user name and you can't verify it.

Are you saying that Roland would have pointed us to a somewhat useless article?!?? Piquepaille wouldn't do such a thing! Oh wait, he has for his last 80 damn stories.
"This article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises," almost seems to not make copyright law illegal, afterall it wouldn't be able to exist in light of the 1st ammendment in the U.S. without the copyright clause. While you can possibly argue that forbidding verbatim copys isn't a violation of "freedom of expression," you certainly can't make that argument for derivative works in general.
"in the united states, it's legal to sell armour-piercing ammuniction -- bullets whose sole purpose of design is to go through bullet proof vests; obviously a device designed to kill or maim human beings. the manufacturers to do not even make the pretense of proposing other uses for said ammunition. this activity is all fine and legal."
Let me ask you a question; do you realize that the second ammendment isn't a hunting rights act? It is there to allow the very lethal force you speak of. Whether it is a good thing or not is a whole different debate, and it is not the type of debate the Supreme Court is supposed to get in.
Does nothing for me and you? Speak for yourself, I know that it would be great to not have to explain to grandma that the newest email from paypal.com isn't from paypal.com and if she follows any links therein she will be giving away access to her checking account.
I think Slashdot is the only place I can visit where "Please compete with paypal. Paypal need a competitor." gets the highest praise of the moderation system. I guess if cavemen had a website they posted to I wouldn't be able to say this.
Even worse is the way paypal tricks you into "upgrading" your account to accept credit card payments rather than just "eChecks" and is sorta vague on the fact that after the "upgrade" you have to pay fees on credit card transactions and echeck transactions (which you didn't have to pay fees on before).
That shouldn't be too concerning. Without that feature you can spoof permission to have people on your contact list. They used to have programs to do just that for ICQ back when it was popular.
Amazon's 1 click patent is a pretty terrible example of something that "mak[es] it impossible to enter a particular realm of business." Most people using Amazon don't even use the 1-click feature because they want to make sure their order is right and there are thousands of online stores that don't have it that haven't been swayed by this supposed impossibility of entering their realm of business.
You can conference call on Skype with multiple users. Also you don't have to log into some small centralized server like with ventrilo/team speak. You can contact any skype user out of millions as opposed to 40 or so on your vent server... it's MUCH different than those two apps.
I thought all interpretations of quantum dynamics were many-words. I thought that was the source of many people's criticisms of it, that there must be a simpler and more elegant theory out there that does a better job.
Actually you only have to think of it that way if your rope is glued to the front of the car or something. As long as it isn't glued, it will have to be tied around something, and the force which is bringing the car forward is being applied behind whatever you have the rope tied around, so it is still a "pushing" force.
My bad. I made a mistake. It has been known to happen. If you couldn't tell from the context that I meant to say Remote Desktop, you've got you're own problems.
Ok, I just had to make sure. Even still, 1MB/s is not common amongst cable users. 1MB/s might be (and honestly this is a stretch) commonly available to cable users, but it is not a common thing. I'd say cable speeds there and above are maybe the 90th percentile of cable users.

Even more appropriate would be MPEG4 streams for over the air broadcasts. That would free up even more spectrum.
Why wouldn't blind people use keyboards as input? Verbal input has a long way to go and a blind person can type just as fast as a regular person.

That would work great if riders themselves were always black and white. They aren't.
"it can be wrong, uninsightful, and just downright dumb"
Kind of like your post, where you spelled commentary wrong what like six thousand times?

It is more of a placebo effect than anything else.

Who said anything about an issue? He was fleshing out an analogy not asking for a random tangent of quasi-related history.

With programs like this one throwing away stockholder money, Google is prepping its bubble for a burst. Not that it isn't nice of them... for us.
