Which is funny because Quebec frenchers speak with how you say "Anglisms" [actually I don't think that is how you spell it].
Even more so though. Franch french people are acting like pricks and they want to remain pure and all that jazz. Quebec french people are pricks and they want to remain pure [by pure they mean make up their own french and cram it down the throats of the federal govt].
Which is why us Canadians figured it out. We put the noname razors on shelves and the expensive super-uber-quality gilettes behind the counter. Whoa.
Though I agree with another poster. It is just a scam. I mean you can buy 100x the weight in metal for the same price... there is a problem:-)
Which is why people shouldn't shave. Too much hassle and really does it matter? Stop feeding stupi corporate three-razor extra-close super-smooth this bitch will fuck you if you use them razor companies.
A method of determining your origins [reverse dns, whois], appropriately converting the prices [many online databases have this info] and figuring out shipping and handling [fedex.com].
Whoa seems like there is prior art.
Plus a $10K signing fee + 1.15% royalty + $0.11 per document generated. You have to be fucking kiding. I mean if you have say 100,000 page views a year that's like a billion dollars!
Anyways, I hope DET explodes and the CEO dies in a horribly messy car fire.
Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't a series of graphic routines for javascript be far more useful? I mean you can dynamically create JS like any other content but also JS can directly interact with the user without interacting with the server.
Hmm... I used to use konq all the time [with kmail] and I had no problems with it. In fact I love that the konq is the file browser, shellviewer, etc...
My only beef is the lack of spam filtering. The "this is junk" spam filter built into Moz is simply awesome and I can't live without it.
You're right though, Konq won't replace Moz for the simple fact that Moz doesn't solely run on Linux platforms [getting KDE on Cygwin for win32 is not as easy as people make it out to be:-) ].
Actually I live in Canada. And I find all the extra doo-dahs totally useless. I make and receive calls. That's about it. I hate having to pay extra for the infrastructure used to entertain toys of the minute BS like picture phones, 10Mbit/sec 1X networks, etc...
Don't forget that with these higher speeds they can drop your calls quicker:-)
Hey instead of making phones with high speed networks can we make DSL/cable setups with high speed networks?:-)
Or howabout not charge an arm and a leg for anything todo with a phone. E.g. changing an ESN shouldn't cost money!
That being said I'd certainly love the privilege of paying 0.30$/min to download 160x120 worth of crap at HIGHER speeds than I can [9600bps current or whatever CDMA is]. It's amazing reading websites one word per line. Wow!
Ok first off, major corps run your country [and Canada too] because not enough people get up and say "wtf? No!". If people were really altruistic they would get in office and arrest all bribery criminals. They would not vote for laws that are not in good faith, etc.
The truth of the matter is they are greedy. It isn't enough that they get paid 100K/y or that they have a cushy job. They must all line themselves with bribe [er lobby] money. I mean in Canada our senators only show up in office a few days a year, the MP and MPPs voted for their own raises [despite not actually achieving any of the goals in their election campaigns].
Frankly democracy doesn't work. In reality when you hold office your accounts should be frozen and be given food stamps until the end of your tenure. That way no company would bribe you because at the end of your tenure your not in power.
However, that will never happen as people are fundamentally greedy.
That being said who are *you* an individual to challenge the law? Sure you can challenge it by yourself, you cannot disobey it and it will certainly not change if you are a minority. If you disagree with the law form a movement where a majority can change the ways.
Your irrational bit of McDonalds doesn't make sense. But that being said you have a fundamental right to life under most country constituions and UN charters.
Not only that but we are talking about music piracy here aren't we? If you dislike the BS on the radio, complain to the stations, stop buying the CDs, going to the concerts, etc....
Shut up. Theif is just the derogatory word people like to use. Copyright infringer is too long.
The essence is the same though. You are depriving someone of an income to enjoy the fruits of their labour. Why you are not depriving them of their property [physical theft] you are depriving them of their rightfully earned wages.
And if you don't think they earned the wages why listen to their music in the first place. You either listen to music you hate, you buy the music or you're depriving starving artists of their money.
Ok dude, I grew up when the inet was first getting really popular [early 90s] so I know how it is to live first without inet [actually I didn't have inet until '94] and second with inet [ooh baby!].
I'm not a rampant music pirate.
Don't get me wrong. I hate radio/mtv for playing the same BS over and over and over. That doesn't legitimize P2P pirating. That's like saying P4's processors are expensive so its ok to hack into a mega-server and "borrow"/"share" their time. You're not stealing something tangible [can't touch time] but it's just as wrong.
Yes radio sucks, yes pop-teen music sucks. So do something about it. Don't but it. I think when Spears et al. gets on a stage and there is only 12 people in the audience she can successfully take a hint.
So long as people attend her concerts by the 10000s they will rake in the dough.
And also don't get me wrong. If the RIAA is suing legitimate users [or even non-users] I'd be the first person calling them up on it [well maybe the second]. But so long as they can prove their lawsuits I say they should go for it.
What I want to know is how do you program in XML. Its a loose markup language with no real keywords other than a few tokens >, <, ", =, digits, etc...
It's like coding in ASCII or something....What is an ASCII program?
That and I admitedly missed the XML boat [been busy in college] but what is the big deal? so I can write
<sucks_level>5</sucks_level>
Then write a program to scan for tags and their values. Big fucking deal. I could have used the common.ini format
[stuff_tom_knows] sucks_level=5
etc...
I've seen XML enabled on numerous products and I can't really fathom why its better. It takes up more room, from recent postings it isn't vary fast to deal with and really doesn't add much to the table.
The only real benefit is it lets the data to be entered in random order [or missing fields] and still recover. Not really a new feature of properly coded data processing applications./rant
True dat. Though people talking on a plane wouldn't bother me. Its people talking [louder than normal cuz of the other noise] on a cell phone. It's very impersonal and annoying.
Prolly. But here is my magical hint. How about ya sit back and relax for the trip? Must people be yacking on their cell phones in all public spaces?
How about you spark up a conversation with the person next to you. Afterall aren't we all about world peace and community? Heck you never know. The person beside you may have a job offer [or looking for a job] or maybe an interesting fella.
I grew up in the late 80s early 90s [well I mean the formadive years, I was born in 82] and I can safely say that while I was exposed to a lot of beeny-bopper music I grew out of it by time I was seven.
When I was 5/6 I thought new kids were the best and listened to them all the time. By time I was seven I learnt that a diversity of music [like anything else] is much better. I started playing the piano [when I was 6] and gained an appreciation for classical music, etc, etc, etc.
Maybe if your 11yr old niece was exposed to more culture she wouldn't be a sheep. Sorry to be so rude but thems the facts.
Anyone who isn't taught by age 7 that critical thinking is important is doomed to live a life of sheepness.

Yes, but isn't SVG just markup on the page? Sure the server can dynamically feed diff SVG markup but once the page is loaded isn't it over?
Even if you could document.body.blah.svg.line1 = "blah" via JS wouldn't
document.draw.circle(x,y,r,color)
be easier? At the very least circle, line, rect, bitblt and such should be in the JS api.

4 notes was the whole song though. If you used 4 songs in the middle of a longer derivative art I would argue it isn't infringement.
Like if I TM'ed "ACBAT" but then you made up "RACBATER". I shouldn't [and possibly couldn't] sue because you had ACBAT in the middle.
But if you made your product named ACBAT I'd have all the permission I need to sue.
Tom
four notes? Man imagine lawyers back in the bach/mozart/etc days.
:-(
Um all these songs are Sonata's. I claim TM infringement!
Christsake... I mean whole genres of music sound similar and we can still distinguish them apart. Four fucking notes is a joke.
And personally I think that message is just a hoax. Though nowadays...

Whoa, I thought glibc like gcc was under a license where end products [e.g. binaries]are not under the GPL/LGPL.
Otherwise that means you cannot use GCC in commercial software. Kinda makes it moot.
Tom
ah cool. See I told you a missed the boat.
Not really knocking the XML spec. Just wondering how adding libxml to an app makes it better immediately...
thanks for the info.

This is where critical thinking comes in.

No I'm twisting the
"I'm no pirating since I won't buy anyways" as "I'll kill them because nobody will miss them".
If you are so inclined to download music and not buy it you're a thief. Plan and stimple!
