    Still, I won't be in Mandrake club :)

    I mean if the range is that small why not just plug the damn thing in and do it in 1/10 of the time?

  3. Re:/me runs out to the store, buy open and return on Sony Intentionally Crashes Customers' Computers · · Score: 2

    That's the tricky bit: The logo is imprinted on the inside of the cover (in the bit of plastic that has the depression where the CD sits). So you need to open it to check, that's why Philips want warning labels/stickers on the outside - in addition to removal of the logo.

    Hmmmm. let me check so cds...
    Some of them do and some don't.
    Moby - Play has the logo on the back of the box.
    The Blade 2 soundtrack does too.
    Liquid Todd - Solid State dose not. Not even on the cd weird.

    Now remember The fast and the furious soundtrack part 2 (you know the one that had copy protection).
    It dose not have the logo on the back. Also the waring sticker is on the back not the front and it's placed on the insert under the plastic. You have to rip apart the case to get to it.
    This cd does have the logo on the cd it's self however.

    They all do have it eched on the inside of the case like you said.

    I was trying to point out to you the sheer hypocrisy of your view that it is okay for you (or your friends) to kill innocent civilians, but that it is not okay for someone else to attack you (or your friends) in cold blood.

    And I am trying to point out the the innocent civilian deaths. Well every tragic were not intentional . The real targets were military ones. Some times the bomb gets dropped in the wrong spot or the enemies troop set up camp in close proximity to civilians in order to use them a human shields.
    Yes it's tragic but it's not the USes' fault at least not completely

  6. Re:OggPod on Linux-based Digital Audio Player with Ogg · · Score: 2

    Probably to OP was referring to the royalties Apple is paying Fraunhofer on your behalf for each encoder sold. If you believe that common file formats should be patent free and refuse to encourage those patent extortionists by (indirectly) giving them money, you have to boycott mp3 and use ogg.

    Um yah I hate patented fileformats just as much as the next guy but the royalties are quite low.

    Besides, some people prefer the sound of ogg.

    Who the deaf?

  7. Re:OT: Dub Pistols on Sony Intentionally Crashes Customers' Computers · · Score: 2

    Yah Dub pistols were a bad example.
    There on the blade 2 soundtrack and the game frequency on PS2.
    Still a good band though ;)

  8. Re:/me runs out to the store, buy open and return on Sony Intentionally Crashes Customers' Computers · · Score: 2

    The sticker is most likely on the plastic wrap and therefore not in the shot.
    But if its an online purchase then a label on the pack is useless. IMO if they don't tell you in the text on the page it doesn't count.
    If in a retail store it's not a label on the front. I think it's also not enough.
    I do think these ant-fare use systems are wrong and it vexes me that it is illegal to break them.
    But if you were warned then you should know better.

    [*]I will not elaborate on what a "good" band is because no matter what I say, I will be trolled to death.

    My personal strategy is to use the most abscure band I can think of.

    The sticker's on the wrapper. The wrapper gets thrown away when you open the CD. Why wouldn't they believe you when you said your new CD had no sticker on it?

    Good point. I still won't be caught dead holding (let alone buying/returning) one of her cds.

    Just as long as they don't have the CD logo... if they do, then which one do you, as the consumer, believe? The CD logo that says it will work in your computer, or the Sony one that says it won't? Sounds like fradulent marketing to me.

    Well exept the cd-logo is a LOGO and not a label that says anything.
    Plus the sticker is much bigger then the logo.
    It's more like having a little USA flag on a disc thats all in french.
    If the disk hase a sticker on the front saying "This disc is in french".
    I dont think you could bring it back saying "Man it hade the little USA flag on the back. I though it was in english".

    Think about it. If the Lord of the Rings is broadcast for free in 1080i with an AC3 soundtrack and I can record it straight to my hard disk, what incentive do I have to go out and buy the DVD? The version I recorded off the airwaves is higher resolution, has a better soundtrack and best of all was free.

    Thats a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
    I don't think that TV needs to be a movie network.
    Nor should it be a vecile to sell us shit.

    Okay let me get this straight you say the sept 11 attacks were justified but the "war" in afganistan is not?
    So witch is it "killing innocent civilians is murder" or "those innocent [setp 11] were collateral damage in a war."
    Just because I don't share your view doesn't mean that I'm a mindless drone of propaganda.
    an example:
    I don't think isreals invasion of plaistine is justified.
    I don't think that we should invade Iraq.
