You both say it wrong because you don't give me any reason to believe what you are saying. Just because it's poignant, interesting and reinforces what we might already believe does not mean it is true.
They're conducting surveillance with, dare I say it, spy planes, and using them as "communications nodes" or something ambiguous like that. The idea is whatever they do is OK as long as they are directly under order from law enforcement agencies.
The only reason we aren't hearing more noise about this is because there's no nonsense about how the sniper wants to take our rights away...
"The ACLU campaign aims to promote a public debate about proposals and measures that violate civil liberties without increasing our security."
Say it violates civil liberties, but don't say it doesn't increase our security. I'd like to see that claim hold up. That's just a rationalization they make to make themselves feel 100% okay with their work.
Attorney General John Ashcroft said he welcomes the debate.
Just as long as they don't make me dance! Damn those liberals!
"The FBI isn't interested in spying on America,"
Just some of the people in it.
"It was a terrible mistake to extend these [powers] to the Internet,"... URLs can often reveal credit card numbers or specific information that a person is looking for on a search engine like Google,
A person's internet usage should be a "safe" place where a person can do whatever they want.
So, in conclusion, debate == good, stupid-talk == bad
Now that the whole Slashdot crew has TiBooks, be prepared to see a lot more trivial stories like this about them.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the KGB has discovered that if you hold your Powerbook sideways, you get this cool portrait view with the picture on its side. Also, check out a way to flip the fn and ctrl keys. Neat!
Maybe they could start selling some of the extra processing time to pay for the cost of the project? It would annoy me if they were making money off of it, but not if they were using it only to cover their costs.
What about AOL's caching? AOL keeps gigantic proxy caches, so access from AOL users will always be severely undercounted unless you send several kinds of no-cache headers.
Their business model--top-down music engineered by committees of accountants and marketroids--has failed
What the hell are you talking about? Did I miss the story about the RIAA's bankruptcy hearings? CD sales are way up for the past few years, and thanks mostly to those manufactured boy bands/tele-whore "artists". You mean the model has failed you -- you personally don't like what it gives you. That doesn't mean it failed for everyone applicable.
No, music is a public good, because it is (1) nonrival: the quantity available for others does not decrease when one person consumes it, and (2) nonexcludable: once a single person consumes it, it is difficult to prevent others from obtaining it. It's a free-rider problem.
Point is, the economics doesn't matter. The RIAA views internet radio as a threat and is using its clout to put it out of business. Why would you ever think it was economically viable for the public as a whole? I don't think so.
... or they could just broadcast from outside the US. The beauty of the internet, you can have intercontinental radio, and no way to stop it unless you want a nationwide packet filter.
It's impossible! umm except for this....[uControl] started out as a simple hack to remap the caps lock key to a control key, but has since evolved into a fairly sophisticated means of remapping many of the modifier keys on your keyboard to any other modifier keys you wish.
I don't know about you folks, but I know what I want is a place to buy shotguns, Nirvana albums, nudity-containing video games and R-rated movies. I only want to buy these things at a single location.
What if a store wanted to sell me a shotgun, a Nirvana album and an R-rated movie, but no nudity-containing video game? Well I'd settle for a few porn magazines. Point is, I need a one-stop-shop, and WalMart ain't got it.
Please, Walmart, for the decent people out there, give us a place to buy recordings of violent acts, endorsements of violence, instruments of violence and porno. Think of the children.
Could somebody with longer time in the US please explain. I really don't get it.
I've lived in the US my entire life, and I've never understood it. People here have somehow picked up the idea that naked bodies hurt children, but violence does not.
...but his father doesn't know that. You just prove his point that if people don't know the alternatives exist they might as well not exist. Besides, I'd like to see how reliable a windows system is with all those 3rd party add-ins at the same time, really.
MacOS installs have never had license codes, serial numbers, or any of that. Technically you're not supposed to install the same copy in more than one place, but Apple has never added even rudimentary copy protection to its OS's, or sued anybody over such behavior.

My, god! the US is trying to exploit the other countries, just by trying to stop them from, uhh... exploiting US IP?
When the US does anything, it is bad. When the same thing is done somewhere else, they did it because we "caused" them to do it.... somehow.

P.S. I have one, too.
How many PC vendors would bother with the expense of custom-made power cords?
Yeah, but they could sell it to, umm, commercial enterprises looking for extra-terrestrial life...
Oops I forgot. Maybe the 11.0 will be codenamed Peregrine Falcon.

10.0 : Cheetah (fastest animal on earth)
10.1 : Puma
10.2 : Jaguar
10.3 : Panther (slowest big cat?)
That's why their stock is tanking! Because they keep sending us all AOL stock in the mail.
It's all suprisingly well documented by AOL here.
My only answer to that is, has P2P radio taken off yet?

Let's not be too hasty. We've got market share to think of.

there's a post above where somebody found the original pic and made a joke about the "writer" posing for clip art after she's done.

Now Final Cut Pro on the other hand...
And I thought they were wax dummies!
