...are spoilt brats who figure that they can have their own way with everyone in the world the same way as they do with the weak Federal Government. Quebec politicians don't CARE that they're hurting business. Quebec politicians KNOW that their language laws are driving people out of their province. The rich are still getting richer, and for a reason.
The only reason they get away with the crap they do is because they brainwash their citizens from 14 years old on.
I don't see that blocking the web page really accomplishes much other than alarming Macromedia.
I do know that a big company like that cannot afford to have huge spam-suits, and so would very likely unsubscribe one upon request. This is serious business!
This has really gone a mite too far. Perhaps people should've done their homework better.
when did it become the role of the industries to monitor our activities and disregard privacy of the average citizen? Isn't it the role of our law enforcement and government?
Shouldn't all of microsoft (for example) be forced to take a degree in policing and become a branch of the government in order to track and report our activities?
however, without the original Microprose, Alpha Centauri was lacking. I really hope Sid has gotten everything together and released one hell of a Civ III. I just love conquering all the races with nukes:oD
Yeah, I know they could've done that.
I managed an apache serv for a long time. I don't agree with the litigation bullsh*t. I just can understand a little of Ford's upper-management perspective.
Thank you for articulating it better than I did.
It would take Ford a while to prove that they didn't set it up, and in the meantime, their reputation is damaged.
this is a sort of slander, and it would imply that Ford has a hand in it.
I think Ford has a right to be a little frightened and want it GONE.
Still, nothing illegal about it unless you do some fancy loophole searching.
...without which no one will be able to have internet access in Cybercafes all over Mumbai.
First question... are there only cyber-cafes there?
Second, wouldn't something like Zero Knowledge still work on the home computer? Screw those guys...
Saying the movie industry [controls] DVDs is like saying the music industry [controls] CDs.
At this point, it is exactly like saying that. Betamax, anyone?
It's potential that people don't like, and DVD-writers have extreme potential to upset the nice new market. True, it doesn't need to be movies recorded... bets?
If you bought a DVD burner, and managed to get cheap media, don't tell me you wouldn't go to blockbuster:op
the movie industry still has a good foothold.
Much as people like to tote DivX, it is NOT EVEN CLOSE to DVD quality.
Put in all sorts of different specs, high cost, discontinued lines and a little paprika: We have a casserole of "WTF".
Human nature to try and hold onto monopolies, I suppose, though it makes me wonder what our best tecchies are up to in countering it. (besides cracking encryption codes:op)
I always got a headache when I heard that stupid comment.
And now the Time Warner employees will all be less productive and generally irritable:op
i'd call that pretty relevent. Oi.
A P4 with the proper case might just be an excellent anchor!
Come to think of it, this covers ALL Intel machines, as well as Cyrix and some AMD!
Wow... will the multitudes of uses for computer equipment ever cease?

We need IPV6 for this more than ever.
Can you imagine the ranges at which people would hop?
And it would lessen the amount of crap that DOES go on, as well as make the parents all the more responsible.
The parents of the bullies just might know what the hell their kids are doing now!
There IS an upside to this.
I can't blame their employees for supporting it.
That's what I call team spirit! Good for Mandrake!

Neither does swearing my arse off.
You need to relax.

with watching video on my PC is that my monitor is only a 15".
However...
My TV is a 14". What a cheapskate I am...

K... I'm impressed with how well that dude from Terminator 2 has done in Mulder's place, but... X-Files isn't X-Files without Duchovney.
The Family Guy is the funniest. Weren't there problems with voice-actors finding other jobs, however? Someone have a link?
The tick was humourous in it's cartoony elasticity. Live Version=Suicide.
Just my 2 cents.
