I'm a big Dune fan and it seems (maybe just coincidence) that there are a few similar elements in Matrix Reloaded (besides the whole war against machines, ala The Butlerian Jihad.)
Did anyone else thing the Architect spoke just like a Mentat?
So If I start sharing files with names like "Madonna.mp3" with just audio clips of me talking about madonna,"Matrix Reloaded.divx" with video footage of me talking about the new matrix movie, etc... and if RIAA tries to sue me, could I counter-sue for some violation of privacy or some other reason?
I was thinking more of a host list that you simply point the browser to and the list is managed and updated by the host site. All the user would have to do is tell the browser which items to block from the servers on the list (images, cookies, popups, flash apps, etc.)
Block flash ads and javascript from certains sites, the same way you block images and cookies?
I'd also like to see a public list of ad servers available to link with Mozilla's blocking options where you can set it to block whatever images, cookies, flash apps, intrusive javascript, etc which load from the servers on that list. Or is there already such a list?
I use a program called Buzz for composing and recording electronic music. It and a ton of plugins are available for free download. (Windows only, no Linux or Mac ports...yet) Also check out this site.
You can also find lots of free plugins and other apps at Database Audio.
So if I have a tune stuck in my brain...

And it's copyrighted, will RIAA sue me for having an "illegal mnemonically-pirated" copy?
I want one of two things: Either the company responsible for telemarketing fraud is fined the entire dollar amount of all assets plus 50% and all employees directly involved in the particular incident receive no less that 10 years in prison and a fine of no less than $25,000 per instance with all fines being equally disputed among those victims of this company's fraudulant operations.
Or I want button installed on my phone that will kill whoever is on the other line.
"Uh Uh...Here we go! AK-47 MP3 Player...the very best there is. Where you absolutely, positively gotta play every mp3 in the room, accept no substitute."
Everytime I think about the two choices we have in the states (and don't kid yourself about those non-demopublican, non-republicrat parties who unforunately don't stand a meatball's chance on Ann Nicole's plate), it reminds me of the election episode of Futurama with Jack Johnson and John Jackson.
For those who still are not clear on america's (the gov't, the media, corporations, and anyone else wanted to sway the popular opinion of Joe "I hates them 'ragheads' what done blowed up our tow'rs" Public.) current favorite propaganda tool, it works like this.
1. Target subject 2. Relate subject to terrorism, no matter how irrevelant or ridiculous or completely unfounded the relation may be. 3. Watch majority of public fall in line (while small intelligent yet insignificant portion realizes your smear campaign is complete bullshit.)
Say you were using AT&T Wireless then you switch to Verizon and keep your number. You number is probably still going thru some piece of AT&T since, technically, they control the number range into which your number falls.
So you have a problem such as you can't receive calls. You call your current carrier, Verizon who says the problem is with AT&T since your number falls into their range. You call AT&T who says they are not your carrier so they can't help you. And back and forth you go...
How to post a negative AOL reply on Slashdot.org just like a veteran/.er.
1. Start off by naming the previous number of times AOL has done something you dislike, noting that this particular incident is "the worst yet."
2. State your greivances about the topic. Explain, in near-irrevelant detail, how this will negatively effect you and others.
3. Throw random arguments in about how non-AOL services are far superior to AOL services.
4. Also imply that anyone who still uses AOL must be of inferior intellect that yourself.
5. Notate the sudden revelation that you don't use the services of AOL (in fact, can't recall any time at which you did use AOL) and, if you did, you and anyone else using AOL probably deserves the a forehand mentioned greviance and whatever similar issues they get.
6. Close with witty remark about poor service and/or "AOHell" reference and offer cliche signature of either "Step 1. AOL reference, Step 2. (blank), 3. Profit!" or "All your base..." adaption.
I was told by my wireless provider that this charge is mandated by the FCC to facilitate calls to 911 even if the cell phone doesn't have service. Meaning, even if you have an old cell phone (analog, digital, whatever) with no service from any provider, you will still be able to reach 911 from the phone.

From an article in Time Magazine (I think) where he said "If we have to file 1,000 lawsuits a day, we'll do it!"
That was a couple a years ago and the subborn old man has learned nothing.

There was the Butlerian Jihad.

Fine. Tell me my name and I'll delete all the mp3s on my computer right now. What's that? Court order? Yeah, right...
but I'd liken it more to John Wayne Gacy running a child care center.

It should come with a integrated mp3 of "Oh Come All Ye Faithful."
"Uh Uh...Here we go! AK-47 MP3 Player...the very best there is. Where you absolutely, positively gotta play every mp3 in the room, accept no substitute."
And I had only joked about this idea before.

I'm guessing the first box set will have 9 discs - 2 for each film and 3 for extras (1 extras disc for each film.)

I think I'd rather deal with a number change.
