And when I go to the news stand and purchase a copie of the Wall Street Journal, what do I find covering a lot of the pages? Ads. You are paying for access to the stories, not for a site with no ads.
It is also not possible for a minor to enter into a legally binding contract without their parents. So when I was under 18, and I installed Doom, either I legally could not install it because I had to enter a contract to do so, or the contract that I entered into is rendered Null and Void.
Perhaps this could be a way around pesky EULA's, just give you son/daughter the install disk, then leave the room. Come back later to find that the software has been installed, and that is was done by someone who the EULA wouldn't be able to legally bond to it, and since you didn't click 'yes' then it wouldn't apply to you too...
I agree, I just wish they had some better stats as to what the kids were looking at(they only listed three things that the kids did; MP3's, Disney, and paint.), or what kind of damages the pc recieved while in the wall(either from natural causes or vandalism) and what the kids did until it could be repaired.
No it would be more like if the local Barnes and Nobel were to stop selling books on Satanism due to the fact that people crowding the isles, even though they aren't buying any more books, they are just being Isle Hogs and making it so the other paying customers can not get into that section.
Which leaves you who has a genuine interest in Satanism, you see that if these people keep hogging the isle, then you will not be able to purchase your books. You then talk to the people and remind them that they can actually buy the books and read them at home, as opposed to standing in the isle for hours at a time.
Well, the Toys 'R Us by me couldn't give the Xbox away. And when they actually sold them, they were normally returned after a few weeks for either a Playstation 2 or Game Cube. The still had the display right up front where everybody could see it. The xobx not selling has nothing to do with referential treatment in the stores, it's just that nobody likes the thing.
Well, my car is probably around 120k, of course there is no way to tell. After the odometer rolled over, something happened to disconnect it. It now reads at 7k miles, and has read that for the last 6 months...
Do I need to buy one of those tools to set it back, probably not, I just need to remember to reconnect the cable.
It will attract the drunken frat boys that want a new toy to talk about and more beer to drink.
Can't you just see the ads?
"We'll refill your glass even after you pass out"
Especially when trying to write on a small surface, which is what most people would have if they were using this with a PDA and on the go. It might not be so bad if you were using this at a Restaurant, but there would never be enough room on a plane, bus, or even on my cluttered computer desk.
I must say that I do agree with you, the only game cartoon that I liked was Captian N the Game Master, and the old Super Mario Brothers (of course it was only good because it was sooo bad)
I can see it now. Instead of a shreader, every office will have a little glass case with a hatchet inside with the words "Incase of Law Suit, Break Glass" written on it.
I hated Blade II actually. I thought that the fight scenes were done with horrible computer graphics, I mean, don't blade and the two vampires he's fighting have bones. When the blood pack broke into his warehouse, it looked like a couple of squid going at it. If I wanted to see a movie with bad special effects and a crummy story, I'll go see Jason X(which I definatly will be doing).
Actually, a pertetual motion machine works without the assisstance of other machines and uses it's own energy. What you are saying is no different than putting an electric engine beside the wheel, and attaching a belt to it and saying it is a perpetual motion machine.
MP3.com and Napster were two seperate things though. On MP3.com, the artists posted the music they wanted to give out for free, whether it be the entire CD, selected songs, or even just 30 sec previews of the songs.
And how many people used Napster(or scour, Kazza, or whatever) to download the songs from no name bands playing in subway stations. A search for Punk normally brings up more blink 182 than anything else, why, because that is what napster was used for by the majority of the 80 million that used it, not to get new music, but to download what they just saw on MTV.
I totally agree with you. I look at our office in Pittsburgh(where I work), and it runs smoothly, we rarely have problems with virus's, except when someone from the west coast winds up getting a virus and spreading it through out the company, or we have to rebuild a PC to send to chicago because one of the one's they were using was killed by the friggin Bonzia Buddy, four of those dial up porn applications, and Pictures of them doing very wrong things filling the hard drive.
Also, it is not always the fault of the admin as to what software is used. Most of those decisions come down the corporate ladder from the CEO, CIO, and the managers, then it has to be approved by the purchasing department. Then you need to find the time to impliment the change. Changing what software you use isn't as easy as one would think for a large company.

Most artists are poor, which is why they go to a label to get the music recorded. If it weren't for the money fronted by the labels, a lot of the newer artist would never record thier music.
But if your desk is the speaker, not only would you not get stereo sound, but you would not be able to use the desk, or it would probably ruin the sound. Think about it, how would the music sound with a monitor, a couple books, and some food sitting on the desk.
Using the windows or some other large furniture in the room would be better, but again, you would need at least two for stereo sound, and they would probably need to be roughly the same size and density for the sounds to match.

The guy who sweeps the car lot is paid with the money that is earned from the cars that are sold. If no cars are sold, well then, they don't get paid.
And no, it is not your job to keep them employed, I simply said that if you rip off a cd, whether from the internet or by shoplifting, then give $5 to the artist, you are not paying everybody who was involved in the process.

But they are paid from the profits of the cd sales. If no CD's are sold, then they don't get paid.

Any music that i get the whole cd of the net, i send the artis 5 bucks from fairtunes, so i dont feel that im doing anything the least bit wrong.
How much did you send to the people that ran the mixing board, or even to the guy that swept out the floor after the recording. I wouldn't really call these people middlemen when it comes to music recording, and they deserve to be paid also.
There already is a movie based on Dragon BallZ. I saw it at the local Suncoast, and I haven't been back to the martial arts section of the store since. It looked worse than the cheesiest of Godzilla movies.

They sat around soo much at my Toys 'R Us, they used one for a door stop, seriously.

Well, they could slap some of the speakers mentioned earlier to the side of your house, and the with some directional microphones...

I thought that serial ATA 1 would be just like regular IDE, only 2 devices per controller. Then it would go up from there.
