I was feeling bad for the music artists until I turned on MTV "cribs" and saw there houses - I don't feel bad any more and don't care. I still feel bad for napster (yadda yadda) and I never felt bad for the record labels - but when it comes down to it - to few people actually did something (other than complaining in comment field on websites) about this - if you don't like something organize a peition - write in letters yourself - make phone calls - send emails DO SOMETHING other than just wining about the "all mighty empire beating down the white/black/whatever man"

Not that i agree with there guidlines (which basically say they can say NO to anyone they want) but I wouldnt want to let them send an ear biting boxer into space or some certain rich towel heads with a grudge against humanity.
i cant get to his site becuase our websense has it blocked but im willing to bet this 18yr old kid isnt even registered to vote
if you have a problem with the gov (as some do) there are plenty of organizations that you can join/help that organize petitions and voting
until im arrested for wearing a dkny jacket im not going to start trying to talk big about going postal
im also sure that this kid will get a nice real dose of anarchy when he goes to prison and learn that "might makes right" actually means "take it in the rear by big bad bubba"
If your a windows user why would you switch to this OS that cant run your windows apps properly - and if your a linux user why would you switch to this OS that doesnt allow you very detailed configuration?
I have yet to see why this is better than using redhat with wine and/or win4lin installed?
not true - i bought redhat 5 when it came out for like 40$ at compusa and i bought suse 6 when it came ou which came with staroffice and applixware(so techinically i paid for star office and appliware as well). since then i download the redhat iso's so i no longer pay for the os. but my initial install of linux was with a paid redhat cd:)
M$ now offers COMPLETE security and stability for all there products - simply shutdown your system, unplug all cables, disconnect your modem/dsl from the wall and instantly be amazed at how theres no more CRASHES or HACKS in this totally secure and stable environment!
Warning: stability and security may be compromised if machine is operable.
so if i go there and start using my cell phone near someone can they arrest me for ES-assault?
Even if they had a legitimate problem (which i dont believe they do) i say there obvioulsy not as evolved as they should be and to bad for them - life sucks then you get run over by a bus.
Warning i dont use speelcheeck
thats a pretty lame plot - since the show has more of a space rpg (shadowrun meets DandD) feel to it, i think it would have been better to NOT half-ass the game plot and add alot more elements. such as being able to pilot moya and do different missions (like season 2 i beleive where crighton had to infiltrait a peacekeaper station to get some medicine to save areyns life) and so on. the plot of peacekeapers attacking and whatnot - as much as that is something that happens in farscape it shouldbt be the entire game - they could of done so much more.
i agree, but having worked at kinkos before for over 2 years - they have to have all there employees be dicks about that because they have and had several lawsuits filed against them for copyright infringment for letting people make copies out of books and even profesionally taken photos - ie: you go to the corner photo store to have your family pictures taken - you go to kinkos and make copies - the photo place finds out and files a lawsuite against - you guest it - kinkos - why? because they consider there photos copyrighted. - its stupid but it happens.
you posted this before and then i couldnt find it - i agree

THEFT of network resources?
i agree you could say it was theft of network resources but jail time for be clogging up bandwidth? thats rediculous - at most they should have warned him- then fired him if he continued. not waste peoples time with those bullshit charges.
when your at work do you ever recieve email form someone outside your company - such as a relative or friend? thats using up bandwidth (small but still) - by your logic thats "THEFT of network resources"
ever search the internet in the slow time at your work looking for clothes, cars, whatever - thats "THEFT of network resources"
at most you tell people to stop - if they continue after that AND its a SIGNIFICANT drain on the network you block access - as a network administrator its easy to block access to certain web-related content and turn off p2p access. if they are smart/stupid enough to try and go around your blocks you fire them and leave it at that.

having been arrested before - the DA ALWAYS trys to prosecute you with the MAXIMUM amount they can. IE: I insulted a girl at a bar and was charged with sexual batterey - which is a felony, registered sex-offender, and 4 years in prison. Of course i was only guilty of slander-maybe sexual assault at the most since i never actually touched the girl. needless to say 2 lawyers later and alot of $$$ i got the charges all DROPPED - but it was still scary getting charged with that for being a rude ass son of a bitch and not to mention a waste of alot of people time and my money.
in that case why not rebuild an IBM PC-JR and run jump man jump on it? it just seems like there could be better things to put effort into - such as linuxing your dreamcast:)
desktop = large, easy to work on (even if you have big hands), lots of room for upgrades and add-ons.
LAPTOP=small, hard to work on (with big hands), not much room to upgrade, but looks cool and fits anywhere!
why why why?

well if the ark costs 20 mil - ill just stay down here with the radiated soil, giant ants, mutants, and do my best to try and find vault 13 :)
i own stock in both companies so im happy :)
now if only redhat could come out with a spiffy commercial like xp's and start advertising as much as windows - that would be cool!

"Lots of Linux users want everything for free, and lots of Linux users are filthy pirates when they can't just get software for free."
I'll be the first to admit that i have *aquired* EVERY windows game and program i own, BUT i have PAID for every linux OS and APP at least once.
you forgot - "i only play cowboy neal"
so if i go there and start using my cell phone near someone can they arrest me for ES-assault?
Even if they had a legitimate problem (which i dont believe they do) i say there obvioulsy not as evolved as they should be and to bad for them - life sucks then you get run over by a bus.
I own redhat stock and run 7.1 on my system - it affects me :)
much hissing directed at you sir

true, but the thing they are most concerned with is anything that says copyrighted or has a copyright symbol on it.
i agree, but having worked at kinkos before for over 2 years - they have to have all there employees be dicks about that because they have and had several lawsuits filed against them for copyright infringment for letting people make copies out of books and even profesionally taken photos - ie: you go to the corner photo store to have your family pictures taken - you go to kinkos and make copies - the photo place finds out and files a lawsuite against - you guest it - kinkos - why? because they consider there photos copyrighted. - its stupid but it happens.

not that im against improving on old technology but this seems rather useless considering the apple II's are more than obsolete
