(by tm2b (42473)) I've recently rewatched the whole damned show, and I've gotta say - I got really tired of most of the "monster of the week" episodes. After a while, all that was interesting was the stories that advanced the mythos, and they wrapped that up pretty well.
(by teneighty (671401)) According to this interview [thesun.co.uk] with David Duchovny, it sounds like they want to do a "Monster of the Week" movie rather than something based on the mythology story arch (ie. aliens + government conspiracy). I'm glad to hear that, because despite the fact that I'm an X-Files fan I found that the mythology episodes got old in a hurry.
You know, there is that whole Mayan calendar thing where the world is supposed to end on December 21st,
2012. Of course, if the world did end on that date, the DVD sales would be huge!
BTW, for those of you yearning for more Chris Carter, don't forget he did 'Millennium' as well. The second season just came out on DVD, and if you are poor, you can always watch 'Medium', and pretend that Patricia Arquette is a craggy Frank Black.
I hold no responsibility for what this may do to your 'inner pr0n'.
"Persons." "Houses." "Papers." "Effects." Whereabouts of vehicles, wherein the vehicles are registered to the government, the privilege of driving said vehicles is granted by government, and in a country in which the vehicles are driven on roads built by the government and maintained by the government.
One of these things is not like the other. One of these things does not belong.
Privacy is dead. Get over it. But if you don't like it, don't look to the constitution for a right to it, because it ain't there.
As far as I can figure, the government doesn't own our automobiles. I don't think it is a stretch to call a car 'an effect'. It is privately owned. What if I have a motor home and live in it? Where is the line? Is it now cool to put GPS on a bike? Your shoes? Up your ass?
AFA your comment about privacy being dead. I won't get over it. If the police can get a court order to place GPS, then w00t for them, but if they don't need one, then I should be able to place GPS on their cars, or anyone else's. Like high profile congresswhores that like to hang out at slutty clubs in D.C.
When the sword fails to cut both ways, that's when we have a problem.
Bleh. My (OP) point is that copyright only benefits corporate entities. An individual has an infinitely more difficult time and infinitely more expense defending their copyright than the RIAA (who claims copyright on works they do not own.)
Much of what the BSA does is fishing expeditions, something that the individual can't do. (to the same extent)
Now that the Justice Dept. is involved in 'enforcing' copyrights, I expect more of the same.
I know the value of being granted a monopoly in selling my work. As a musician, I also know that 'art does not exist in a vacuum', and understand that a healthy public domain is key to works by any artist.
mean YOU can't program it? That wouldn't make sense to those who want hackers to keep their grubby hands off the low level hardware. Or the software makers who'd like to move to a subscription service. Or the **IAs who would like to charge you every time you watch a movie, or listen to a song. (Not to mention all these companies wanting to prevent you from recording, writing, coding, releasing and distributing your own 'content'. Most Important.)
Give the software away, but tie the ease of use it to special hardware that he makes.
Lots of people will run this, and make presets, and do lots of stuff for free for him, while he sells the hardware that makes it usable (without having to hack it together yourself).
Genius. I think Apple tried something like that before...anyone heard of the iPod?
Is a lockout by Apple that prevents cellular companies from charging every time you want to transfer a tune, photo, or other stuff via Bluetooth.
Every phone that I could use in my area is hobbled by SOB carriers who view BT as headset only, and charge for transfer of photos, ringtones and everything else.
Not that I want the latest MP3 of Poo Doody as my ringtone, or want to take blurry, oversaturated photos with my phone...It's the principle of the thing...
May Apple destroy the phone market as they have beaten the mp3 market.
I say fuck that noise! Please let me know what goods and services I will be receiving from ICANN that require this money. Anything? A keychain? TCB hat? A goddamn coffee mug? Nothing.
As a result, I will be charging ICANN a monthly 7.50 'Blow Me' fee. Bitches.
Fees and surcharges are the first sign that you should get your gun and start thinning the herd from the top down, because someone has decided you're easy pickin' and an easy money bitch. ICANN does not DO anything, except charge poor fucks like me and you for having a shitty website.
Now mod me offtopic, you ICANN sniffing mod-whores. HAHAHA!
Profanity is always uncalled for, and used by ruffians, and ner' do-wells, so eat it.
If only we could make congresswhores *have to* pass the bills literally.
We might have a Patriot act still, but all the Senators that mangaged to pass that giant piece of legislation (read: crap) would it no longer be with us.
At last! Congress making real sacrifices for their country - of course, all laws would be crappy, literally.
What's scarier, the fact you just imagined your Senawhore, bent over, squinting and straining, or the fact that it actually sounds like a good idea...?
Feel free to make jokes about the hair. Thanks to this guy, I found out that I'll never make it in the business, as I am a 30-something musician in the midwest.
Which of the internets are the old people having trouble with? The wood one?
They should really restart their monitor. That usually fixes it for me.
In all seriousness, can you even get the internets when you're old? I know my old people are still using Toltec Bead Messengers. Those guys can run like crazy (at least 22 hertz an hour), and you have a nice little belt when you're done checking your news-groups.

I can't figure out if you're talking about Longhorn, Slashdot, or my mom.

If the BSA ever comes to my door, I will make soap with their bodies, and wash my balls with it.

I thought this story would be sweet, but it is so overdone.
I've heard of brownouts, but this is ridiculous!
So if I run Firefox and refuse cookies, does my computer explode?
I don't know if I have a virus, or food poisoning.
I'm partial to the Mary Ann mod.
I'd like a new video card, but I don't have enough bread for that.
Thank you, thank you - I'll be here all week. Or until the booze runs out.
I wonder how many Apple employees have Sidetrack installed...
Though, I don't notice the lack of a button, with the control key doing the honors.
Every phone that I could use in my area is hobbled by SOB carriers who view BT as headset only, and charge for transfer of photos, ringtones and everything else.

If you live in Minnesota, you learn the hard way. :)
Cyberball 2072 was the only football-type game I ever found to be fun.
C'mon! Giant robots? Playing football? My pals and I spent many a quarter on that, beating each other senseless.
Screw EA and the NFL. No giant robots, no care.

Thank you, science monkey!
My guess is that they spend about a second looking for something on the net, and grab the first listing on Download.com.
The jewels are sometimes well buried, but worth far more than the dog shit on the surface.
Beatings for these people who refuse to educate themselves - of course, when your generic XP box gets owned in 2 minutes, I guess I can't blame them.
but...wait for it....
Bill Gates should ban the mp3??
Feel free to make jokes about the hair. Thanks to this guy, I found out that I'll never make it in the business, as I am a 30-something musician in the midwest.
Well, it was fun while it lasted.
They should really restart their monitor. That usually fixes it for me.

I'd like to extend my heartfelt thanks for working so hard on this.
Thanks again!
Bill Gates
I don't feel comfortable with this - it must be some sort of devilish sorcery!
Cross your fingers for the new Scott Baio module, too. It's just as good as the Tony Danza module, but is far cheaper to operate.
