The poster indicated that this article was blocked by websense. Maddox indicates that his page is blocked by websense. The poster presumably is on a connection using websense. You linked him to Maddox's page. With these facts in mind let me answer for him, "No, I haven't read Maddox's websense fiasco." (BTW, I know perfectly well that he most likely has other means of connecting to the internet.)
Congratulations! You just ignored the whole point of my post: laws are not necessarily just and should not necessarily be followed. If you took the time to read my post I said that I didn't agree with the parent (i.e. I wasn't saying that breaking copyright laws has anywhere near the level of validity of breaking slavery laws) but was just pointing out that the poster I was responding to was taking the dangerous stance of The Law Is Always Right. The law isn't always right and it has been shown countless times in history. The poster I was responding to essentially argued that because it was illegal, it was bad; a more appropriate argument would have been that this is illegal because it's bad.
"not because Paul McCartney sold out" McCartney sold out whenever he signed a contract that would allow Michael Jackson to later have the ability to buy all the rights to his songs (granted we are talking about all the beatles songs actually but I'm just referring to it as McCartney's songs to keep in line with your post).
"(see first biological warfare- also: pox ridden blankets)" No. At least as early as the middle ages people used to load dead, disease ridden bodies into catapults and hurl them into catles they were seiging.
I don't agree with the parent but you are surely the idiot: "since you seem to think criminal activity is a valid way of expressing your discontent with something."
Why don't you go back in time and tell that to a slave about to hitch a ride on the underground railroad.
From the article: "They could also have the meat processed and shipped home, or donated to animal orphanages" (Emphasis added). What the hell?!?! Donate the meat of the mother deer so that her orphaned babies have something to eat? I hunt btw but what does this last sentance from the article mean?
Offtopic my ass. JUSTIN BAILEY was one of the first name other than my own that I learned how to spell. The original Metroid for Nintendo was godly for its time.
Having cache itself doesn't take you too far from von Nueman; yes, technically its not von Nuemann, but its very similar. The real thing that took modern processors away from von Nuemann and more towards a Harvard architechture was seperate data and code caches.
At least read the drivel you link to. "Walmart singled handedly put Vlassic in bankruptcy by forcing them to sell a gallon of pickles for $2.97 dollars."
According to the article: "Not long after that, in January 2001, Vlasic filed for bankruptcy--although the gallon jar of pickles, everyone agrees, wasn't a critical factor"(Emphasis added). Nice Troll.
"It's sort of like letting people go into Ultima Online and become rich and powerful, and then somehow transfer their titles and authority into the real world." I don't know about you but when I was a middle schooler back in '98 it sure felt like that when I sold my UO account for $1200 thanks to massive duping early on.
He says:"if a major war did break out...the country would be much better off with the money having been invested in science/education/economy than having outdated laser system." And you respond with: "And if one does?" Let me go ahead and complete the loop with the answer to your question, which will no doubt make you ask the same question again: "the country would be much better off with the money having been invested in science/education/economy than having outdated laser system."
Look: my comment was perhaps a little short and perhaps I'm a little snappy about astroturfing and copy and pasted press releases. But to mod it "offtopic" makes no sense. Its certainly ontopic. It might look at first glance like flamebait or troll, but I cannot conceive of how even at first glance it would look offtopic.
There are several products that do exactly this with regular household handsets and with standard VOIP programs. Why is this news just because Skype is doing it? Oh yeah, Skype rhymes with hype. I see the connection.
"Expose yourself as a dumbshit flat-earther on/." Hilarious as thats probably an example he would bring up of how at any time most scientists are wrong (at one time most scientists did think the earth was flat).
Some leaks out through radiation. Else we'd be frying in our skin right now even if a large portion got stored to chemical potential energy as in the case of fossil fuels.
Nuclear power affects global warming as well. In a pretty minor way however. Energy that used to be stored as matter gets turned into, well, heat, with nuclear.

Bravo! Classic bullshit post, you don't even mention what it was you cooked. Bravo!
Bush earlier wanted to amend the constitution to not allow states to have their own choice as to what constitutes a civil union. Now he is saying quite clearly that he believes marriage is between a man and a woman but the actual legal definition should be left up to the states. It is a change of position. Is it a change in the way he personally feels about gay marraige? No. Is it a change of his political position on state's rights? Yes. So, yes it is actually quite the flip flop. Quite the meticulously planned out flip flop as the whole constitution ammendment was absolutely insane and just a means of getting press attention (which this change in policy will also get). This is his planned out way, planned out ever since he proposed the ammendment, of showing the people that he can admit to a mistake and try to correct it.

Another great example is winamp, its been turned into a steaming pile of shit.

Still no JUSTIN BAILEY leotard code? Dissappointing.

"Seriously though, in the end any electricity we make gets turned into heat somewhere by whatever device uses it." I know.

Anyone know where I can grab this for freebsd? The main ports tree has been slow to update with firefox.
I've done work on this for several companies. Your point does stand. You throw out 10% but the actual percent common today is higher!
Even though I got modded to 1, someone seemed to agree with me as the story is now under about 6 topics.
Did I say he didn't? I said: At MY bar Bush won. My bar is NOT the "whole damn world."
