Here in Brazil we are also like California: Eletricity Racionalization (is that the correct spelling?). It would be nice if besides of playing games we could also generate eletricity.
It would be amazing, and the government could also lower importing taxes for this device:o)
I want everybody to copy my CDs records, I want a lot of illegal copies. The more they listen to my music the more they go to my show. And that's where I get money.
I don't receive a nickel from Sony for my sold CDs
Needless to say who is winning and who is losing in all this P2P discussion.
It's amazing the capacity of self harming of MPAA. DVD with virus? I can't believe this, but the most funny of all this is that nobody can develop a scan software neither a fix software, because it'll fall upon DMCA.
What can we do now? I just won't run WB DVDs on my windows box (As if I had one). And outside US everybody else who can choose between a official copy of and a unofficial clean copy of WB DVD will surely choose the unofficial.
Once again, MPAA amazes me with it's power of self harming.
That TOC of linux is smaller that's clear, and Amazon comes to proof this to us. But why exactly linux is sheeper?
Many says that linux support is much more expensive and that TOC is smaller due to the cost of licenses is null
So, can anybody tell me how much of this affirmation is true? Is the maintaince much more expensive in Linux systems? (Don't windows need re-instalation each 90 days?:o)
It doesn't matter the quantity or the measurements units, but the relation between the results
International mesure system defines as volume measurement unit Liters or Cubic Meters
Only US and UK uses galons and/or pounds or whatever you want, which sounds very weird if you consider these measurements standards. (once again, there's more in the world than US)
Please, I don't know if you are an engineer, but don't try to teach a priest how to pray.
It's very easy to proof that a processor can't work for so long. Just put it under midday sun in Rio de Janeiro(+100F), and you see your CPU goes to the CPU's heaven.
But we can also put it to work in alaska and we don't even need the coller:o)
Whatever, these tests are just like the others. Tom's test was prepared to see when the processor crashes, and the AMD test's was made so the processor survives for a long time. It's a matter of statistics.
A joke now:
The FDNY had a building on fire and aske technical opinion for three different professionals: The mathematics made his calculations and said tha 2.351 liters of water was enough to solve the problem The physics drawed some schemes in the paper and said that 2.500 liters was enough to solve the problem The engeneer loked up, stayed quiet some secondes and said that 4.000 liters would solve the problem
The statistic saw the problem and aske the fireman, "How much water do you want to spend?"
I agree with our fellow. When multiple players it's strategic is really neede. I live with some friends, and when I survive the initial rush (both player's and computer's) I usually win agaist brute force strategy.
With few and well placed units, used in the right order, I can vanquish most of the brute force opponents.
But there's another point here, most brute force players here at home, learned it by watching computer players! So the makers of the games are playing brute force strategy.
I know that there are more games that forces the use of strategy (or at least don't show how break it). But unfortunatelly starcraft isn't a good example for this (althor it's one of the best games ever)
(...)I mean, how many closed WINE forks does the world need?
Why don't they just thread instead of fork?
Seriously, I know I have already said that forks are great and variety is essencial. But too many forks will lead us to nowhere! We need variety, but not that much.
When there are few projects about a topic forks are wonderful, very welcome. But when it's starting to get messy, maybe we need to think if it's better to fork, or to thread, or even to merge!
A couple was arrested for using marijuana, (Drugs are bad, Mmmkay) and the police gave them a chance. They need to convince kids to not use drugs.
The girl went to the blackboard and draw to circles, one 10" sized and other 50" sized. And said, "This big circle is you brain before the drugs, and this small circle is your brain after the drugs. Don't do drugs"
The boy then went to the blackboard and using the same two circles said, "This smal circle is you ass before jail, and this big circle is your ass after being in jail
A week before the attack, in #wtc@irc.terrornet.org:
<Terrorist #1>
Yep, it's written right here, the building will resist a 707 crash.
<Terrorist #2> What the heck! How will we destroy that dam building
<Terrorist #3> Don't worry, we'll solve this problem...
I know this can be considered flamebait, but, let's go.
Hey, can't Torvalds do this from his home country? I know he lives now in US, but can't he do this, in a server outside US?
If he can't I can, I'm not a American Citizen, and I don't live in US. I'll publish this here in Brazil, and to hell this dam DMCA, we need to comunicate with each other.
Will the whole earth be prejudiced by a stupid American law?

As I can see you missed my point. First of all, I'm not for, and I'm not against RIAA, I just think that they are acting in a way I don't agree is good for them.
Other point you missed, I have never said that the new technology should be smaller and higher quality, could be one of them, or maybe another technology that would allow smaller discs and higher quality, whatever combination you want.
About the frequency range. Vinyl is still prefered for many enthusiasts due to its unlimited frequency range. In high quality recordings and with high quality equipament the range of infrasounds are very easy to feel and enjoy.
And about few people needing more quality, don't forget what our friend Bill Gates said about more then 640KB. Who said that we need HDTV, but after watching HDTV for a while you feel that convencional TV has a lower quality.
Instead of trying to ban CD-R/CD-RW RIAA should support new technologies like this. I bet CD-RW drives are full incompatible with this kind of quater-CD, it would solve their problem (I agree that CD-RW drives are a problem for RIAA) without being intrusive like they are trying to do.
They could also increase music quality, increasing frequency range (in a way vinyl lovers would accept use these quater-CDs) so mp3 would never be as good as a original quarter-CD.
There are so many productive ways to avoid piracy, they might consider to adapt to the new reality (just like everybody else does), instead of fight agains it.
I hope this is the light that shows RIAA the right way.
Here where I live there is a music by a famous rapper, it says the following:
"I'm very happy, I killed the president."
(this was in 1990)
After six monthes it was censored, prohibithed for public exibition, less then 2 years later, after some legal fights, the music could be public presented again.
This is freedom! Initialy the rapper was not guilty, and after a fair judgment he was considered guilty and his sentence was to no execute the music in public. After another fair judgment he was considered not guilty and now he can repeat the music how many times he wants.
Now, think a little bit more about free speech. It means you can speak whatever you want, but not whoever you want! You can describe sexual acts, but not for children (what kind of sickness is this?)
But always remember, you always need to be careful of what you speak. If someone consider itself harmed by your speech, then you'll be sued. But in countries with freedom of speech you'll be not guilty until proved otherwise.
This is not about full freedom of speech, this is about limitating it. There are many countries around the world where you can speak whatever you want to. And if you do this you won't be guilty.
This is what I mean, let's see what Dmitri has to speak about this. In Russia anybody who feels harmed by his speech must first proof that he's being harmed (not guilty until proved otherwise). He couldn't even imagine that in the "country of freedom" he would need to care about such a thing.
US citizen used to have speech freedom, but with laws like DMCA they don't anymore. They can speak whatever they want but the exceptions included in DMCA.
My guess is the first person to put out information on how to hack one of these is going to get slapped with a lawsuit.
Please, try to remember this. Not all the countries have stupid laws (like DMCA or SSSCA) to avoid this kind of hacking.
There are many other places where you have the right of full free speech (different from limited free speech, AKA as DMCA limitations).
I don't think Dmitri was dumb, he just haven't even imagined that in the so called country of freedom he would have full free speech, just like he have now a days in Russia.
If this really happens, we'll have FCC trying to sue every kind of internet-connection-sharing-software. And in 'the country of freedom' we really need to worry about this possibility.
It's one more association fighting for the aprovement of SSSCA. Too bad for us, to bad for US. (as I said before it could be really good for the rest of the world)
I really hope that FCC works in a different way. I hope they try to get with the "train" not against it. Of course it would be great to see another association loses time and money trying to stop the unstopable, but it would also bring a lot of legal (and maybe economics also) problems to all of us.
Honestly, I prefer to have some problems with violence then having problems with terrorism. I prefer to live in third world and see almost everybody happy and very very few judice.

We don't need to attack M$ products, we are better then they are, and we don't need to kill them, they will die alone if they don't change.
