I'll agree the the internet might fundamentally be one big p2p but a p2p program is more specialized at what it does. (think squares and parallelograms) This is why when Napter and gnutella came out they were so popular. They were a new type of program that made it stupidly easy to share and get files. So people have said in other threads that browsers could be held to account if this law passes. I think , and I would hope many people think the same, that it's easy to see the difference between a browser and a napster like program. It not as easy with your browser to share all your files while getting files from others. Not that I'm defending this law in any way. If you can't fine a gun maker for a shooting you shouldn't be able to fine a developer. I just hate to see people going down a slippery sloop.
I doubt any company that does this is going to give the creater such liberties. If you are doing it on company time I would bet the company is going to want all rights from it. In such a case it would be best that you do your own projects on your own time.
From the mouth of teh AC comes the heart of the mater. There are some places we you are not supposed to talk. When I go to watch procedding at teh senate they tell you you are not allowed to talk. Thats just the way it is. The fredom of speach is not infinite, liek everything else it has boundries. Examples: assault, slander, inciting a riot, and you always here the one about yelling fire in a theatre (not sure what that is)
This is another exaple of a needed limit on speech.
Why? Why you ask? Haven't you heard the quote: "A fool and his money are easily parted"
That the only answer some people will piss away a small fortune just to always have the latest and greatest hardware so they can play games with the graphic options all maxed out.

#10 lists the product from Alienware that was supposed to be delivered in Q4 2004 (If I read it right). My question is this: How long must something be delayed to be considered vaporware? Obviously products like Duke Nukem and the Phantom qualify but what is the minimum amount of time needed?
Even if I was mistaken on #10 I still would like to hear what you all think.
I've never really had much of a problem telling the difference between a plane on final approach to that of a helicopter before. There are several different guides you can use. A plane does not sound like a helicopter. A plane usually moves faster and more linier than a helicopter. Planes can't hover over a location like a helicopter can.
I'm sure there are times when a helicopter can be confused with a plane if they are far enough out, but I'm guess that this wasn't the case. That's just MHO.
Boy people love that quote don't they. You know just because someone said something witty doesn't make it the truth. He was a person, people make mistakes, isn't it possible that he was wrong?
I'll agree that movies games music etc can change lives. "They Dance Alone" by Sting was used in one of my criminology classes about human rights. And it really got a lot of us students thinking. What I wanted to say about books is that there is a plethora of great books and yet no yearly award ceremony that compares to the Oscars or the Grammies. IMHO there are more great books than great movies or games.
By great I mean life or world changing. Not taht I'm knocking movies or pop culture. I watch more TV and play more games than I read books.
I specifically left out books for that reason. Books have changed/shaped people and governments alike. A book like "Diary of Anne Frank" has enlighten people, has informed people of something that save for the book would have been lost to history. Books are powerful because they don't need to be written by a great writer to be great, they don't need millions of dollars spent on them to become great, they don't need the glitz and glamour of an awards ceremony to reach people, a good book will be good on it's own.
Why are movies any more serious? Did Titanic really change any ones lives? did some one get some great epiphany from watching the LoTR? I'm not saying that games should be elevated to the level of movies, I think that everything else should be lowered to games. Movies, TV shoes, Music. Games. It's all entertainment. I don't think any group on it's own is better than any other. All this prestige that surrounds the Oscars, Grammies Emmys Etc is in my humble opinion dumb.
I was going to end this with a movie or a song that breaks the rules I have laid out above but I can't think of any. If they do exist they don't get the recognition they deserve.
# First of all, if you run Linux, you're not booting much. Maybe some people chose to turn of their box when they are not at home or when they are sleeping. Maybe some people want to save a little bit of electricty if they can.
This is the problem with the linux zelots. Someone points out somthing that is annoying and should be fixed and people rush to say how this is a non issue, then they go on to say how this is actually better than the way windows does it.
People who run IIS and then subject it to a/.ing should be drug into the street and shot for being an idiot. Twice. Yeah because IIS is the only webserver that can be/.ed your right on that one pal. Yeah. Sure.
Yeah, casue the only country to ever use something for spying was China. Look at all the advanced technology the US has made to be a ble to spy on other countries, the SR-71 for example, my favorite plane. Not that I have anything wrong with spying, like Like President Regan said, "Trust but verify."

Does anyone else fear that the golden age for technology or science channels in the mainstream is over?
I know it's not the same but at least the History Channel hasn't gone to the least common denominator yet.
Why?

Regan National Airport told me when I checked in for my flight where I could go to sit down and plug in for free. I was impressed.
I obviously misread your post. I thought you were talking about the palne vs helicopter, not helicopter vs police helicopter.
I apologize.

Kinda ironic. If Jimmy Hoffa had one we would know where he is.
He's not saying it will happen after they die, he's just saying it won't happen while he's still alive. I agree.
