I'm sorry, "ALL" the alternatives? You've been brainwashed quite well by your government I see.
Tell me, what's the best part about being in a two party system?
Elections just passed here a month ago, I had 5 major parties to vote for, now we have a minority government, I can tell you there's a lot more power in the hands of the citizens here than if we only had two parties to pick from.
I happen to know for a fact that ALL skype users make 10 way calls on a regular basis, therefore skype is merely looking out for their customers and don't want them to be dissapointed when they're not able to get that 10th person into the call!
Snowboarding and freestyle skiing shouldn't be olympic sports; save that shit for the x-games. When I'm watching the Olympic games, I should never hear a commentator say "he got sick air on that phat run".
Let me guess, bobsledding and skeleton is a real sport?
Freestyle skiing is very difficult and strenuous. It's in the olympics for a reason.
The major problem with this is that Sony's an easier target since they don't do what a lot of other big companies do, which is have sub divisions with different names.
Disney owns a ton of companies that handle other aspects of their business that most people aren't aware are even part of Disney.
"They think the game is a bad thing and want to discourage parents from allowing their children to play."
They think the game is bad? When was the last time they looked at their profession??
And what makes them think this will even work? If I was to pay for a download, I'd cap my upload at 1k/sec (on my router even, if i had to) and I'd also kill the sharing as soon as it's done downloading.. why waste my upload speeds if it's going to be costing me something?
The only reason Torrents work right now is because people upload as much as they download, if everyone were to do like me in this case (which i think they would), this wont work at all.
This is scary why? This is great science being put forward. The moon is just a big rock spinning around the earth, if we mine it it'll be no different than mining our own planet.
Of course I can bet there will be some rediculous disputes where certain people will claim the moon belongs to the US or something..
Dude, didn't you hear? FF has a bigger market share now, they're not only allowed to pull an IE, they're expected to. How do you think IE got so big and managed to hold their share with such an exploitable browser.. ?
The way i see it, this is recorded history being liscensed out to people.
If i watched the game on tv and printed the stats from it, there is no way i'd ever be convinced i'd have to pay royalties on such information. it's like asking for royalties from me if i were to publish a summary of a book i read.
If you were running a music service I'm quite sure you wouldn't be releasing the server's code..
When you log on to your favorite IM or Webmail do you take their word that they're not keeping copies of everything your write? Or do you demand to have a copy of their server's code.. you know, just to make sure they're not lying to you with their privacy policy..:|
I made a post a while back about slashdot stealing stories from Digg.com a few days later I had my posting privs suspended for more than 2 months.. the reason they said? I was posting too many things that had been modded down. After checking my history of posts, 1 item out of a few hundred was modded below 0.

You know there's a special protocol for transfering files (especially those that are large..), it's called FTP.
Well, you might be able to register a DNS with a fake name, but according to ICANN rules it can be suspended if they deem it fake.

Horray for Canada.

Gosh, cut skype some slack..
So what if it took 60 years to crack, those subs are sitting ducks now! Good encryption my ass..

It took me 3 days to beat HL2 on the hardest difficulty level.
PS. HL2 hasn't been out for 2 years.
Bah, not a problem, just look at how well JavaScript works on different platforms! It'll fit right in with PDF's compatibility, no worries.
The World?
Try the United States.
I don't see any of this crap going on here in Canada..

Disney owns a ton of companies that handle other aspects of their business that most people aren't aware are even part of Disney.
Touchstone, Miramax, Dimension, Buena Vista, ABC, ESPN, Hyperion Publishing and tons more..
Boycotting huge companies is nearly impossible since their reach is so big.

Computers are no more an addiction than being addicted to water and air. Computers don't have a detremental affect on people, so why see them as bad?
You're telling me, why does it take a team at MIT to figure that one out? I've always thought it was pretty obvious.
It's pretty simple, once they get the juice on someone, they squeal to the nearest narc.. obviously.
Let me guess, you're one of those guys who hears "Give me a second" and actually counts to one..
"The chance of replicating this exact DNA sequence is one in 33 trillion"
I like those odds! *starts making a fake ball*
And what makes them think this will even work?

That's a pretty strange assumption that all women who want/need abortions are "loose" as you put it.
Ever think there might be other reasons for wanting an abortion? Does RAPE come to mind?
3. Mozilla team is pulling an IE

Don't forget to call an 18 year old a child "18 year-old boy".. cause we all know that 18 year olds are children.
Uhm, sorry to say, but how is fining someone $39/email really justified?
That seems beyond excessive.
