Dude, it's called, go see a matinee... Or wait until the film has been out a a couple of weeks and go see it then. I personally enjoy being in a full theater, but then as my wife says, I am a freak. Anyway, the point is, go when no one else is there, then you don't have to worry about someone's running commentary during a movie. Having said that, I go to the theater almost every weekend, and I have never had someone talk throughout the film, or had a baby cry during a movie.
For the love, read this post, and ask your self the following. If I buy a movie and hire someone to edit my copy for me and they ship it back to me, is that copyright infringement?
Now, was it the shipping that made it not copyright infringement, or was it the face that I OWN the movie, because that is exactly what cleanflicks.com is doing.
As the linked to post said, what if I ripped out pages of a book and taped in an edited summary of what I had removed.
What if I loaned it to a friend? What if they paid me for using my copy? How is any of that wrong? Has the original author lost any money at any point along the way? Have they made any less money than if I was renting/buying an unedited copy? If anything, they are selling to a market that was previously unaccessible.
I'm rather curious what the "existing law" Bush refers to is, considering that the probable cause requirement was written in the days before the telegraph, let alone telephones, rotary or touch-tone.
The law he is referring to, as far as I know, was referring not to probable cause but to the requirement that a wiretap for an indvidual be requested in each district that the indvidual owned a phone. The requirement for probable cause to issue a warrant did not change in this case, but now only a single Federal judge has to approve the wiretap order and it applies to all phones the individual has in their name.
Previously, criminals could cross districts and acquire a new cell phone, and a new wiretap order would be required. When the law was written it was very uncommon for individuals to have multiple phones in multiple districts, or for it to be so easy to acquire a new one. That, as far as I know, is what he was referring to with his "in the era of rotary telephones" comment.
I don't think Yoday has to be working with Palpatine, just that Yoda has taken his side of the force to the extreme, never any anger, never any fear, never any emotion. Yoda becomes a caricature of the Light side of the Force.
There could be an interesting showdown as Annakin and/or Obi Wan explain to Yoda why they are choosing this path, and that Annakin can see the day that Yoda will again play a part in the game and shape the Jedi who will bring completion.
I dunno, but it sure us cooler than the current storyline.
How do you propose to get this to work? You'd have to force port 80 connections to a proxy server, wouldn't you? Oy... some Internet access you got there.
Translated: I can't figure out how you could get this would work, so you're stupid.... why not make fun of his weight problem while you're at it?;)
Of course, it wouldn't cost you a penny to upgrade (Excluding time and acquiring/downloading a copy), and that's far more than you could say for MS Office. Of course that's only if you're right about KDE1 not getting patched.
So it actually is a good reason to switch to something like openoffice.

Yeah, but you can't work on things like BlackBerry until you have the Exchange clone up and running. You have to start somewhere. Not to mention thst because it is open source, there will be guaranteed to be plugins that aren't available for Outlook/Exchange.
The German government didn't commission the fixing of all Exchange dependancy issues for all companies. But if they do a good job, third party products will begin to support it.

well thanks to your +5 Insightful score and Slashdot's mod cap, I'm afraid it's just nor possible. Try to keep your comments a little less interesting, and maybe a little more inflammatory.

He can't sign something that guts the Constitution, unless it is also upheld by the Supreme Court. It also seems like everyone is forgetting that it was first passed by overwhelming margins in both the Senate -- 98-1 -- and the House of Representatives -- 356-66. I don't like the Patriot Act any more than you do, but it's not entirely the work of GW Bush.
Who should Microsoft be afraid of losing business to? Macintosh? not today at least Linux? for all MS's fear of Linux, it's not yet the desktop that they are afraid of.
What strikes me as true hypocrisy is the fact that those who scream the loudest for 'free markets' are usually the ones doing the most to squelch any true competition in those markets by raising the barrier of entry so high that only ruling class people with interests in common can compete. Thus, ologopolies [sic] and monopolies quickly come to dominate the supposed free markets.
So you're saying free markets are bad because we really don't have a free market? Guess what, just because someone screams something doesn't make them a true supporter of it. Catholicism is stupid because some priests are pedophiles too, right? A free market can and does work, as you said we don't have one. If we let people compete their way to the top and then prevent others from being able to compete, we've lost the "free" part of the market. One of the few actual responsibilities of government is keep businesses (and individuals) competing fairly.
I hate situations like this, because you and I probably agree on the problems, I'm just not sure where you get your conclusions.
It reminded me vaguely of a story by Theodore R. Cogswell with Theodore L Thomas called Early Bird. The similarities were along the line of the evolutionary enhancements that Liam and Murray received, though the method of obtaining them was quite different. I've always been a sucker for "people obtain near human perfection through cool technology then do neat things" types of stories - Isn't that sort of the plot of most anime? (Either that, or the main character is a mysterious stranger who begins the movie with incredible abilities - I'm thinkin' "Ninja Scroll", "M.D. Geist", etc.)
Anyway, I enjoyed it, it wasn't William Gibson, but it was worth the read and then some.
Yeah not being able to test for a day is worth whining about compared to the increased user base you probably just received.
Don't worry, the slashdot effect on your server usually wears off within 10-30 hours of initial posting depending on your bandwidth, but the effect of increased interest in your project might never abate.

Sultaana Freeman didn't think so, and she is being allowed to take it to court.
It'll be interesting to see what happens.
Read some non-biased information somewhere
Are you joking? And, where might I find such unbiased information?

Agreed.
I'm not a big fan of Feingold, but it took balls the size of church bells to be the only senator who voted against the Patriot Act.
