This is because they are simple fucktards who are dead set on destroying their industry no matter how long it takes them to do it. They should be dead now but legal alternatives, led by Apple iTMS have given them a chance to make bank online despite their complete inability to grasp the opportunity on their own.
Now they want to start making more than just fat money. They want to make stupid money so in classic record label fashion they squeeze harder. They just don't get it and they never will. We need to stop paying these people money. We need to let them die.
Ok then, please point me in the right direction. If Japan did not surrender unconditionally then I'd like to know that and would welcome any help you could provide me in learning this truth that's been denied me.
You do of course understand that there's a difference between making a claim and proving it right? My evidence is rather obvious. The second paragraph of the Japanese Instrument of Surrender states clearly
"We hereby proclaim the unconditional surrender to the Allied Powers of the Japanese Imperial General Headquarters and of all Japanese armed forces and all armed forces under Japanese control wherever situated"
Of course if you could substantiate your claim then you probably would not have posted in the classic "AC" form. I'd read the document you're claiming to have learned all about at the "University level" before spouting off in the future.
That is incorrect. Japan did in fact surrender unconditionally to the Allied powers as did Germany.

Dell Might do AMD
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
I know it's an impossibility and AMD would be insane to do it but Dell seems like they've played this particular note so many times in the past that I'd like to see AMD answer once with a press release going something like this:
Today, in one of the strangest announcements by a technology company in recent memory AMD said that their rival Intel should in no way be concerned about the recent comments from computer maker Dell and that no Dell computer would ever feature an AMD processor regardless of how much Dell was willing to pay for them. Said AMD "Dell makes crap and we won't be a party to it at any price!"
It's music man, come on. The government needs to make sure that the important things interoperate. Your (or my) choice of mp3 players isn't one of them.
No his analogy is so completely dead on right that you simply don't get it.
There are games (many actually) which are available for the Xbox, PS2, Gamecube, PC, and Mac platform. These games are all pretty much the same game with the same name and mostly the same play experience. There may be some small differences due to the limitations of some platforms but essentially "Halo is Halo is Halo"
Now if you own a PS2 but you go out and buy a version of the game you want for Xbox or the PC what do you expect to happen?
Aside from that part at the end where you need to add that the Democrat will repeat this process over and over again until there are no wealthy people left it was flawless.
Flamebait huh? Well it's true. The Dock works perfectly fine. It does exactly what it's supposed to do and a great many Mac users use it with no trouble at all.
Those who don't care for it do not seem to have any trouble turning it off either.
I stand by my words. He needs to go get a book or something if the Dock is giving him a hard time. While he's at it he should read up on how to turn off the metallic look of the Finder too. Make good use of his time.

Umm, Dock works just fine for me. Maybe you need to go get a book or something.
See now that's where you messed up. You're assuming that Braga, Cotto, and Berman even know that Spock is a whole lot older than any of the others.
No way they know that. They probably aren't even 100% on whether Vulcans live longer than humans. They'll probably have to go back and scan through all the scripts from TNG and DS9 episodes where Spock showed up just to make sure they didn't use time travel then.

I'm about as close to paranoid about my personal information as anyone I know and my identity was stolen about 5 weeks ago. I give out practically nothing and it still happened. The part that drives you up the wall is how nobody seems to really give a crap about it. The police yawn, write the report, and leave. The stores all want an affidavit and then go away. Your bank gives you a new account and returns your money. Aside from the pile of paperwork I had, and am still having to deal with it doesn't seem to bother anyone that this happens. This money must have come from somewhere right?
I know I got all my cash back but I'd bring back roadside crucifixion in a heartbeat if I could get my hands on the guy who wrote $5K worth of checks using my info.
"The other licence is because they lost the first one's CD code."
See this is why Novell got their butts slapped down by Microsoft back in the 90's. First mistake, they paid for one copy of Windows. That's just dumb and you know that out of all their employees someone had a copy laying around they could have used. Then they go and pay for it again? Just to replace a missing CD Key? Suckers, they could have found that one the web in about 5 minutes.
This is why Microsoft is in top people, they'd have pirated Netware in a heartbeat. They probably did back in the day.
Illegitimate law? So you're going to clear all that up for us and tell us which laws are legit and which ones we can blow off? Wait a sec, I need to get a pen and some paper. I don't want to miss any of this.
You've got no right to violate the law. None. Not one bit. You've got all the right in the world to try and change the law but don't mistake sitting in front of your computer stripping the DRM out of files for some kind of protest. It's not. It's resistance with a condom on. You're not in any danger, you're not putting anything on the line to try and change the law. You're just posing over a fairly trivial point which, if it is an injustice, must necessarily be one of the weakest rights violations on the planet. "The put DRM in my song! We've got to band together to stop this!" Please.
Posing. Nothing more than posing over a percieved injustice. Pitiful really that this many people can get this worked up over recorded music.
You're a fucking retard if you think no compromises are acceptable. You need to understand that if someone makes a "product" then they can decide exactly how they want to sell that product to you within the limits of the law. You have two possible responses. Buy it or don't buy it, end of story. Your "right" to music free of DRM is a figment of your fucking imagination.
Well now, are we all lined up to thank this "DVD Jon" asshole? That's what he is you know, a fucking asshole who's done us all the favor of fucking up just a little part of iTMS. The very simple and easy to live with rules that Apple laid out are just too much for some people to live with so break it. Apple responds by tightening it up a little more.
All the crying people do about the big bad evil DRM screwing up the world and the "1984" type predictions are going to come true but it'll end up happening because the assholes among us will turn their noses up at every reasonable compromise along the way. When it's all done we'll be using a service that's worse than any of us imagined (if anything at all) and it will be in a sense our own fault.
Here's an idea. If you don't like the rules at iTMS then go buy your music elsewhere and quit screwing with the way the rest of us buy it)
I'm sorry, I know the guy made a laptop out of wood but honestly, it looks like ass to me. This is 2005, there's no excuse to be getting all big in the head about making an ugly wooden laptop. That was 5-6 years ago. Now I'm impressed if someone makes an attractive laptop out of wood that's also thinner than a PowerBook.
Standards are higher, get with the program people.
Honestly, the scary part is that yes, he did contradict himself and yet he still made sense. Despite his clumsy comment on what color good and bad guys are in the movies he nailed it.
Not that you aren't right or anything but I'm going on record here as believing that there's no way you can use the example you just gave to definitively conclude that Lucas isn't an untalented asspipe.
With Spielberg involved the credit for those movies cannot be laid at Lucas feet (nor can the blame for the later ones). Guess we're just going to have to stick with the stuff we can only tie to George.
They will always bitch about something. There's no winning with these people. When it's only available on the CD they will complain that it's too expensive and that they can't buy it by the song. When it's broken up into single tracks and sold online piece meal they'll gripe that it's got DRM attached to it and it's not available in their favorite "who gives a fuck other than the 12 people using it" format.
There is a significant slice of the public who won't be happy until they can have it all for nothing and even then their pleasure will only be temporary. As soon as another format comes out the record labels should make it available for free in the new format as well. At no cost. They should probably be required to contact each and every one of us to tell us how to get the new version.
The record labels are assholes, no doubt about that. The guys who insist on finding a way to fuck up legal downloads are easily their match. This guy isn't doing anyone any favors, he's just helping to fuck up a good thing. Way to go Jon.
