Another reason being Window's device interface is more than suitable to go by.
However, what if the problem you are trying to diagnose is that the user can't boot into Windows? Kind of hard to access the Windows device interface when you can't get Windows running.
Just in case I actually do put a CD into a bowl with a paperclip and put them in the microwave, can I get your name and address? I'm gonna have my kids do it, and then sue you for child endangerment and contributing to the deliquency of a minor.
j/k, I'll just do it myself then hire the lawyer that did the McDonalds coffee lawsuit. Be seeing you.
Just like the proper method for storing LPs. I built my own DVD and CD shelves, and they're designed to store the media vertically. Plus, building them was the only way to get shelves like the ones I built for my LP collection.
Screw deathmatches with GTA. I want several interconnected cities with upwards of 10k players on at one time.
Gangs of players, with lower level players being sent on missions by higher level players. Players as cops, SWAT, soldiers, even undercover cops posing as gang members, trying to keep law and order. Individual players happy to set up a gun store and avoid paying protection to the many gangs in town. Massive gang wars, with the cops calling in the National Guard. Riots with buildings burning and collapsing. One gang taking over an entire city and declaring war on another city. Thousands of helpless AI citizens cowering in doorways and running from gun battles. Even AI armed citizens attempting to protect their homes. Destroyable buildings that slowly get rebuilt and re-destroyed by AI construction workers.
Limit the available weapons to pistols, Uzis, shotguns, the occasional M-16/AK-47. Very high level gang members can get rocket launchers, but using one will bring down the law HARD. Low level cops get pistols, shotguns and patrol cars. Higher level cops can either go SWAT or join the Army and get APCs and Tanks.
Gang Members get points/money/skills for completing missions, causing chaos, generally doing criminal things (mugging people, pimping AI prostitutes, running protection rackets). Cops get points/money/skills for upholding the peace, protecting the lives of innocent citizens, stopping/eliminating gang members, busting up gangs, etc (but probably more points for equivalent jobs than criminals because in order to encourage players to be good guys).
This is such a load of crap. Hackers aren't skinny, they're fat and wear free t-shirts from Comdex.
This diet is going to do everything for them... losing weight is hard, unlike gaining weight, which is easy.
Start eating like a pig, then go to the gym and laugh at all the sweaty people. Wow, that's a hard lifestyle change.
Try losing some weight after the age of 25, and you'll wish you were a skinny loud-mouthed idiot with easily fixed problems.
Refresh my memory, though. Which part of this falls under the DMCA, exactly?
Does it have to fall under any particular provision. The DMCA is one of those laws that can be twisted and perverted to accomodate the needs of pretty much anybody, except those needs of the end user.
Kind of like the Patriot Act and the tax code, eh?
According to the Animatrix, it was through the extensive use of nukes to try to stop the machines from invading the human nations. Didn't work, though.
In the final few frames before the closing titles, a hovership, possibly the Nebuchadnezzar, is shown flying (or crashing)
against a clear blue sky with a visible moon. Remember, the skies were burned during the war. Will the skies be cleared in the third movie?? Or is it just incomplete sfx?
If not a "junkyard wars" approach, it is an extremely optimistic design. I would expect the wings to rip out at the roots when they light up the rocket motors.
The article describes that the rocket motors would be incremently ignited. IANARS, but I would assume this would lessen the stress on the wings. However, I would be interested to see how they handle re-entry. The frigging space shuttle burned up, why wouldn't a modified LearJet?
Slashdot Mirror
Fi to all that reference THAT movie! And Fi to all that get that reference!
T-Shirts, software, trinkets, etc etc etc. It's the only reason to go to Comdex anymore.
Try explaining to my boys that they're not in danger of loosing Spongebob. Sometimes, almost wish they couldn't read.

If it actually works, this is a brilliant idea, and it's certainly harder to squat on phone numbers than domain names.
"You don't love me...."
That'll either get you slapped, dumped, or the best blow job of your life.
Sorry, I don't want to have anything to do with your old Wang. And stop lying about it's size. 50cm, yeah right.

Actually, now it makes alot of sense. But that still won't stop the conspiracy kooks from claiming otherwise.

This is my dream game.
Also note, the link does appear to look at the referrer. Able to get to the file from WinAmp.com, but not from the direct link.
Hopefully the first of a long line of lawsuits that will eventually see the Supreme Court finding the DMCA unconstitutional.

At least until he's trumped by the powers of communism (lawsuits by the school or the textbook becoming illegal to import under the DMCA)

Must..... Resist..... Easy..... Joke.....

I THINK NOT!
Not yet, you mean. The Corporate Copyright Wars are just around the corner.
And the wife and kids are going to grandma's house that following weekend. Time for a 22hr B5 marathon :)
unless, of course, SCO wins their lawsuit.
Ralph Kramden: Bang! Zoom! Straight to the moon!
The answer to everything lies in 50's sitcoms and domestic violence.
