This is the German to English of the original German from the register... Seems like they got the translation pretty good.
honour honoured Mr. xxx, we save it to us to deal with those remarks from your Mail which is obviously unqualified. We would also not like to bore you with a detailed explanation, why the music industry uses under duress copy protection, although we would also rather do something else. Only as much: in this year become over 250 million blank Discs and Tapes for music overacting again bought and used opposite 213 million before-taped clay/tone carriers. That means: only for 46 % all again used clay/tone carrier is paid also for musical contents to the repertoire owners. To the comparison: 1998 were paid still for nearly 90 % all clay/tone carrier for the use of contents. Also without economical study it might be clear to each reader that with such a development the music industry can exist not further. Massive clones of before-taped clay/tone carriers by burning CD R-S only one can become opposite, i.e. copy protection. That is also the reason, why record Companies increases its CDs protect must. An alternative to the stop of this abuse is not unfortunately in view. We are afraid only, all these facts you will not at all interest, because with these measures the end of the free availability is rung in by music on CDs, which might not please you at all. If you should actually have a playing problem with the lodged a complaint CD, we would ask you to call us the exact Playertyp. We can compare then this type with the available list of that Player, on which our CDs runs problem-free. From it it results whether the problem really is because of the copy protection or is responsible however completely different reasons for it. The case that directly several different Player do not play, spoken by you, can originate after our experiences only from the range of the fairy tales. The copy protection technology used by us is State OF The kind, i.e. there is to time nothing better. If there should be something better, we will also use this. The Abspielbarkeitsprobleme with conventional CD Playern is minimal, but and again occurs it that copy-protected CDs on a Player does not run. We pass these cases on immediately to our copy protection Provider, which is also endeavored to adapt the technology accordingly and repair the problems. If you intend to crack copy protection measures and the CDs otherwise burn themselves, we must point out you that this is punishable shortly with the conversion of the European copyright novella to German right. Kind of such injuries of copyright will then also criminally be pursued. The responsible persons of the consumer protection Ministry will say nothing different one to you - were the straight politicians, who requested us to finally use copy protection measures also. If you intend to protest against future CD publications with copy protection further then we can calm you down: Copy protection or no is long answered, and it is a question of months, until world-wide all CDs is more or less published copy-protected. And that is also well like that, so that the music does not remain on the distance. But we will do everything, what is possible for us - whether it pleases you or not. Yours sincerely
I wonder when Taco gonna start selling sigs by the pack... hell even the carton... You subscribe... ya get 3 sigs with the option to get 5 more for only US $19.95...
There was a video of a classic experiment carried out on the moon, we watched this in Physics. A hammer and a feather were dropped at the same time from the same distance and they both fell at the same rate. That means the experiment took place in a vacumn.
How bout the developer do some work on a machine at around the bottom supported machine specs. Then maybe the developer would consider optimizing his code to run nicer on a lower end machine. It is amazing to look at benchmarks on our gigahertz+ machines and how fast they are. Having knocked the dust off an old 486-25mhz machine running Win3.1 the scary part was how freakin responsive it seemed. Now that is so sad.
Since our beloved government here in the US doesn't want to use bad "commie" OS software... we better hope the enemy doesn't use the "US Only (its specified in the EULA so it must be secure.) Shutdown Backdoor to turn off our networks when we need them the most... Trust Microsoft? Almost as much as I trust the NSA secured linux... yeah secured for whom?
"Damn, I need a programmer... oh wait.. shit I did spend 8 years in college learning something. Waterfalls and Whirlpools make me a good software engineer! "
Let's make this a discussion about a technology issue by people who know about technology. AMD Hammer chips have the "status quo" better label because of their 32bit compatibility combined with 64bit advancement. This is seen as a bridge to true 64bit computing without losing the current investment in 32bit software. In regards to this patent lawsuit, how will it affect Intel? I don't believe the amounts are large enough to even make a dent in Intel's publicity budget, much less affect their long term outlook for this line of processors. Only time will tell. As for the "General Public", they can go check out the local trade shows where they can get some great deals on *wince* "Authentic Pentium Computers for $300".
Looking at my Universities Catalog for Computer Science reveals a terrible thing. A computer science degree requires about 55 hrs or CS courses, the minor in CS requires about 35 including some Junior level organization coures on computers. The scary part is that for EDUCATION majors, ie. people who might one day be teaching others, the minor only required 15 hrs of CS, mostly freshman level stuff, plus some courses that are not even available for credit for CS majors. Too often teachers at universities are taught how to teach, but never taught anything to teach. Now that is scary. This is made even more painfully aware as my wife has a BA in Education from the same University. I have often told her she has a Bachelor's of Arts and Crafts... she spent more time on Bulletin Board design than language fundamentals.

The Future of PC Gaming

· Score: 2, Funny
.. the past of gaming. When I my brother moved back closer to me and I got his setup with a computer I introduced him to the "hottest" game of the time. DOOM and DOOM II. Of course at the same time I was playing Unreal, but I wanted him to have the same experiences and appreciation that I have for modern games. Also I needed a head start, that bastard learns to damn fast... Anyway, after he mastered DOOM, HEXEN, Betrayal at Krondor, and a few other classics, I let him in on the magic of Unreal and we have played more matches of UT than I can count now. He would not have been so good if he didn't know where all of the things we take for granted came from. He isn't awed by just graphics, he enjoys story, gameplay and originality as well.
Please, having injured my knee as a child I seem to have picked up a "Stylish" ass-wiggling type walk, similar to pimps in movies. Needless to say this gets me heckled alot by black women saying no white man need to wiggle his ass like that... though they all agree I got a nice one...
"Your a smart ass! But smart ass is good ass and good ass is hard to find!"
As has been discussed a thousand times before, but needs to still be pointed out. Worms on systems you do not have legal usage rights on are not allowable. The solution is no better than the problem. Do you want Microsoft, Symantec/Norton, McAfee, etc to run their patch worms on our systems? There is no such thing as a universally trusted entity. And if there even was, then you are down to a single failure point for further and worse exploitation.
The last time a sexy woman wandered into my server room and seduced me she got so far as to unzip my pants, pull down my undies, then... she ran out screaming something about being on a no cheese diet!
Go figure, some people like head cheese, others take baths.
Sending food to a hungry person will, if it gets their only feed them a few times, then they are hungry again. You did not do anything but prolong their suffering. Their ecosystem is overloaded, this causes famine, plague/disease, and sometimes triggers war over resources. The less nice solution of for the majority of the population to die so as to provide an ample supply of food/resources for those that survive. Suggest that the birthrate be controlled... now that is unpopular.
I load ammunition for my 6.5x55 mm Swedish Mauser.. a nice little carbine (short barelled rifle) and the bullet speed is on the order of 3000 fps (feet per second) and is only a moderate load. You do the math, a lot faster than 100mph. : )
Yes, if the game could be mapped out completely it would be at best possible to draw the computer. Only chess is way more complicated than tic-tac-toe. Actually computers are just now getting to the point of mapping out a complete game tree for checkers which has all the same pieces while chess has different pieces and moves that have to be accounted for.

Also note that Windows 2000 server, mine at least : ) only displays the first 26 messages it receives. I tried flooding the server, but no real problem there.
A funny side note is that this net send protocol used to be able to transfer files... now that would have been a bit more interesting.
