I was flirting with getting a tivo, but have reconsidered.
I already have a DVD recorder, and as much of a pain as it is, I'm going to build a mythtv box.
Tivo obviously does not care about their consumers, only about money and fellating hollywood.
It's not about the artist, who makes not a lot from albums, but the poor record companies, trying to protect their old and busted business model.
The horse-drawn carriage went out of service, so can record dictatorships.
Don't buy it then.
Put your money where your protest is.
I know I won't.
Fuck Hollywood, it's your purchased copy of their movie, and your hardware.
Are we licensing hardware now?
This is bullshit.
They shouldn't even sell it if they want such control.
Cunts.
Wow, what a misrepresentative headline. He wasn't convicted of hacking them for his own use, as would be suggested, but for selling them with 80 games installed. Were the 80 games legal? Public domain? Come on guys, you can do better. Don't be so sensationalistic.
It is not the responsibility of the Federal Government to
A)Protect your business model.
B)Ensure you can "pay back your investors for a long shot"
This patent is bullshit, it's like EA, just eliminate all competition, then what incentive is there to change or improve?
None, slap 2006 on it and ship it.
I want a patent on "Exchanging Oxygen for Carbon Dioxide utilizing organic muscle structures", and sue everyone who breathes.
We were bringing up a 2k3 server at my friend's house and we knew it was up when we got the sasser message.
"Hey, it has connectivity....where's my CD?"
"But Microsoft plans to change all this. Starting February 28, Microsoft will indefinitely begin to disable Internet product activation on OEM keys used by the top 20 worldwide PC makers."
This won't affect the buyer of a boxed copy, just OEM prebuilt machines.
The way this works is that I type something that can not be conclusively proven. We can type out much conjecture on the subject, but we can not be sure.
Before all the contrarians come out.
It's just a huge coincidence that he flashed airplanes and then a helicopter?
It's very assy of him, but I'm not sure if it's 25 years in prison assy.
I believe that there is no coincidence in most major cultures having the same types of stories and buildings (ie pyramids).
I can't prove what, nor can I fathom what may have been the central force behind it all.
A pizza box is probably more tempting to a wider audience than a laptop would be.
I carry mine in one of those zip up binders in an extremely old crappy backpack.

Everyone seems to love corporations so much, this is the logical outcome.

We need our homes to be like Walden once in a while. There's this places called outdoors, that we should explore on occasion.

We need to send a message that corporations do not own us, and we are not to be branded and sold whatever they feel like selling us.
What good is it knowing something is down if there is nothing you can do about it?
Just, wow.
MBA, all the way.
I don't dispute that, but some patents are frivolous and predatory.
A patent by itself is not evil, just as a gun is not, but in the wrong hands.....

Skype No pesky service fees as long as all involved have accounts, or you can call for a low low rate, 1.7 Euro a minute.
All the people who ate carrots in 1875 are dead. OMG BAN CARROTS!
Sun is getting pretty desperate. Are they gonna pull a SCO next?
ROFL. That's actually funny. One of the handful of time I have literally laughed out loud at internet jokes.
Bah, I misread.
Why are secret service members sending out e-mail from unsecured wireless access points?
Nope, I didn't suggest that at all, that is a silly comparison.
