Maybe it's the fact that I'm reading Illuminatus right now and my brain is scrambled, but doesn't that seem like a very curious date? The fifth month, with the 23rd in the middle of the conference. I think Eris is a Doom fan.
Better yet, remember the Alien Total Conversion for Doom 1? That was even scarier than Doom itself. The first level scared me the most. Less is better, as you said.:)
Unless you're an expert, it's hard to get the recipe (the source) from the food (the binary). The GPL is saying "Here's the recipe, and here's some food someone else has made with that recipe, all free for the taking. But if you make and give away or sell food based on the recipe I just gave you, you've got to give away your recipe for free as well."
I know analogies suck, but it's close enough.

As legal counsel for Cafe Press, I object to this blatant disregard for the rights of business owners. Your idea is obviously a circumvention device designed to destroy free-market capitalism and encourage piracy of Cafe Press' intellectual property.
All they're doing with most of the RID characters is recyling the names. The original Car Robots names were more creative. Changing Fire Convoy to Optimus Prime, Dark Convoy to Scourge (Imagine if Optimus Prime had an evil clone. He's one badass mofo.), Gigatron to Megatron, God Magnus to Ultra Magnus, Build Hurricane to Grimlock. That kind of thing. Some of them (the combaticons and spychangers) are just the opposite. G1 characters with new names. There were some improvements though. The bullet train team actually got names in the US.
And I love the fact that 90% of them are combiners. When I was little, I was always hoping Devastator would make an appearance, because big robots that make an even bigger robot are just too cool for words. Now I get to see Ruination, Landfill, Railracer and Omega Prime. And the latter three are the height of coolness. It's about time the Autobots got some truly heavy firepower.:)
The Takara Car Robots/Robots in Disguise toys are awesome. Tons of moving parts. The new Optimus Prime (who's now a firetruck) has this big-ass shoulder cannon with little plastic missles that fire.
Even the combiners have tons of mobility (aside from Ruination, the motionless combaticon gestalt who's just a Bruticus re-release anyway). Rail Racer, the bullet train combiner, for example. Very poseable, and he looks like he's built for speed, like some kind of hi-tech ninja.
And the best combiner of all: Omega Prime. He's the Optimus Prime/Ultra Magnus combiner. He stands over a foot high! There's little contacts inside Ultra Magnus' body that change what the electronic sound gadget will say. When they're combined, he says different things than when they're seperate. A cool little touch.
The only problem with the Takara combiners is that they're *way* top heavy. You've got to balance them against walls or bookshelves. Don't even *breathe* on Omega Prime.:)
I know you're joking, but it might work. Depends on what kind of advertising. Spyware is right out, but maybe an Opera-style ad window would be acceptable. I can only speak for myself, of course, not for other Ad-Aware users.
I agree that he's no innocent bystander, but he was denied his rights to a speedy trial. He was held in custody without trial for years. It was a terrible violation of basic civil rights.
It doesn't take a deep study of Chinese culture and politics to understand that driving over unarmed protesters with tanks or enforcing "one family, one child" laws is the mark of an authoritarian state.
Iraq is actually moresecular than most countries in that part of the world. The government still pays lip service to Islam, to appease fundamentalists who might otherwise make trouble, but government officials themselves don't base national policy on religion. Perhaps you're thinking of the kind of government in Iran or Saudi Arabia?
Indeed. Bin Laden is our very own real-life Emmanuel Goldstein. Every time I accidentally flip to CNN, I want to say "And now, for our two minutes of hate."
You didn't read the article. Offshore subsidiaries of the company he worked for made the sales, not the US company directly. He was a scapegoat. He didn't violate one goddamn law, but the court was so eager to prove it's collective patriotism that the truth was conveniently ignored. His conviction is a symptom of the injustice of the embargo.
But I guess all those little kids in Miami will be safe now from the big bad Cuban Army attacking them with water purifiers.

You mean like how the US government just dropped 180 billion dollars to subsidize their farmers?
Try picking a holier-than-thou cause you can honestly defend, dimwit.
That's for criminal cases. Civil plaintifs get to ignore pesky things like that.

I'm guessing either Robotech or Starblazers.

Oh man. I'm such a nerd.
Let's not forget He-Man. Go find some sound clips somewhere, he sounds like a perverted old man. "When I hold up my magic sword..."

Excellent points. And don't forgot the bomber gap.
Sending out email viruses? If China is bent on screwing with Outlook users, then slap my ass and call me Comrade, 'cause I'll help.
No, they are a fascist country. Don't confuse their words with their actions.

$80k a year for a truely good admin is a steal. Maybe you're just used to being a minimum wage MCSE.
Oh, sure, because having people be able to use an OS in their own language is so horrible. Prick.
Quantum computers have a bigger user base than OS/2.
This is how George Lucas stays in business. Would you rather he be answerable to a panel of shareholders?
In a moral world, the Bnetd team shouldn't have to prove their innocence. It should be up to Vivendi to prove Bnetd's guilt.
Anyone know what the reality is in the legal system?
