Turns out the second freak was right, based on the pap the Pres and Secretary of Energy are spouting about ratepayers being "part of the solution" for a "modernized grid." I wouldn't be surprised if the blackout were engineered just for that purpose. Worked in CA.
If this were a real list of censored stories, would every single one of them support liberals and attack conservatives? No. How about kidnapped Americans being held against their will in Saudi Arabia? [nationalreview.com] There's a real under-reported story, but you won't hear about it here because it doesn't support liberal policy goals.
This is a sad story, and is underreported, but doesn't support your assertion that only "pro-liberal" stories are said to be underreported. The story you link to is, in fact, pretty damning to the Bush administration.
Not only should there be sensors, but cars should have governors. The law *is* the law. If you don't like the law, vote and have your representative *change* the law.
The law allows you to exceed the speed limit in exigent circumstances or to avoid an accident. How do you propose to have the governors detect that situation and allow speed over the limit?
I'm not so sure an honest judge and jury would consider a company selling the maintenance of an identity and possessions in a virtual world, then disclaiming an obligation to maintain those for the purchaser would constitute a reasonable agreement. In fact, the EULA, even in jurisdictions where it could be considered binding, could have those provisions stricken as unconscionable, and be overridden by an implied warranty of merchantability.
IANAL, but it looks like it's not open and shut either way, and certainly no slam dunk for the game company.
You're assuming, of course, that the EULA is worth the electrons it's printed on. Unless he's in a UCITA state or a country that has explicitly adopted these Diktat "agreements" as legally binding, he may well have a case.
Last time I checked, O'Reilly wasn't going around suing anyone for hundreds of thousands of dollars, or advocating that they be jailed for copying his books (and this does happen), or invoking the DMCA. Which is why I still subscribe to Safari and buy the occasional paper book.
If they had the attitude the record industry did, the only stuff of theirs I'd read would come from interlibrary loan.
You mean the death of meaning of the Constitution's language "limited times," effective eternal copyright on software and media, along with excessive laws that provide jail time for what would be a minor property crime in the physical world have eroded respect for copyright law?
At the park, yes, and in the more expensive hotels. But in the "low rent" district, like Allstar Sports on a business trip, I asked to have my sheets changed, and was lied to about it having been done (penciled them before I called). For $150/night for an EconoLodge-like motel, I don't think fresh sheets each day is too much to ask
Does/will the DoJ choose cases to prosecute to avoid sympathetic defendants, such as young, well-off white people in the burbs in order to have a better chance of gaining convictions? Won't this practice result in disproportionate law enforcement attention to the lower socioeconomic classes and people of color?
Also, are you concerned by the fact that enforcement of laws regarding "intellectual property" will erode respect for the law rather than increase compliance, since these laws make a large proportion of the U.S. population felons?
Service available from law enforcement is in direct proportion to influence with politicians. And that is in direct proportion to graft^W campaign contributions. By transitivity, it takes money to have the laws enforced on your behalf. HTH.
The guy's a dick--if/. is the referrer, he links to tubgirl. So paste http://torrentse.cx into your browser, and click reload a few times. Run wget in a loop against it if it does anything for you. Dickcheeses that do stuff like this deserve a bigassed bandwidth bill.
My local carrier has something called "private Time."
So let me get this straight. Your local carrier sells telephone service and caller ID cloaking ability to telemarketers, and makes money. Then they sell you a service to be able to avoid their calls, for more money. There's a name for this--extortion.
And if you're going to file Chapter 7, get on it--Congre$$ has got bankruptcy reform on the fast track to repay the financial industry for the election.
Search sourceforge for "Hotmail"--there are a couple of programs which will fetch your mail using Hotmail's undocumented protocol, then act as a POP server on your local machine. Then you point Opera at localhost: and read your mail as normal. HTH.

Damn you, and I just emptied my clip of mod points on trolls. This should have gone up to +5.
I installed 9.1, and still had to grab drivers for my G400 from Matrox to get dual head--did I perhaps do something wrong? TIA.

And, if we're talking about the same apocryphal story, the court mailed him a picture of a set of handcuffs, then he paid.

Is your username for real? Do you actually have such a system? Are you posting from it? Inquiring (old) minds want to know!

. . . if it has a mushroom cloud button like "Lemmings".
The fear among artists is that the means of selling a bundle of crap with one good song, the album, will become a thing of the past.
Right! It's different, because (most of the) 25 year olds shave.
Once. If you're young. And you hurry.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
IIRC, they used the Peak-10 outfit, which a search of NANAE will show to be notorious spamming liars.
Octal's way too easy to convert to hex by inspection, and that's just one step away from ASCII. Better to use a different base, like, say, three :).
