You'd be better off driving a van around with speakers mounted on the roof while having your band in the back jamming while also having the van running from the fcc. Ahh...good ol' college years...:)
For some reason that sounds fun as hell, however it could be a reason to start a traffic jam in the first place. But hell, I'd love to have something like this available on those long trips for when you get stuck in some mean big city traffic. Looks like I might have to airbrush my handle on my bumper or something now. What'd be kind of funny if a whole clan was carpooling somewhere (like a con or something) and this happened. Okay okay, just let me dream...:p
"...no doubt the City of York is where most Meteorites land." Where exactly did that comment come from?
"After all it is not every day you get hit by a meteorite."
You'd think everyone would know this...Damn America...
Maybe it's just my lack of sleep that got me in this mood. Or perhaps I even got hit by a meteorite too. Watch it become the "next cool thing". I can only imagine...and I hope it stays there.
Hell, I'd be happy with having commercials JUST between shows and not in the middle. I hate it with a passion when I'm getting into a show and then it switches to martha stewart trying to sell something. It's just a killjoy.
I thought you were allowed to use those old school attennas to watch tv for free. Good ol' bunny ears how I miss the days of having my little cousin hold em up while I watched the simpsons.;)
You don't. People tend to get ashamed of their screwups and tend to want to blame them on others, even if they're only trying to help. I wouldn't do a damned thing unless you knew you could keep your identity intact.
I think the only reason it's questioned here is because of functionality. Computers actually *do* something somewhat useful. Shoes tend to be something I enjoy others wearing, especially when you know their feet have to stink (yeah, a stretch but it's just a weird thing I have about people no wearing shoes and then mysteriously smelling bad smells). As for jewelry...I feel it's useless. It's just something to make someone feel pretty, wealthy or just lucky to have suckered some poor guy into buying it. I don't think I could honestly marry someone if they didn't understand that I didnt want to buy them ANY jewelry whatsoever at my own expense.
"First and foremost, if it helps mankind in any way, then I submit that the testing is necessary."
Helps mankind?! How on Earth can this help us anymore than just creating a robot that can do the same thing? Why is this mind control with the electrodes necessary for human advancement? If anything this can only lead us closer to a world not unlike those in creepy sci-fi novels. If you want creatures to plow through rubble to find people then make a machine for that. Why let technology that could potentially be used to control a large group of people exist? I don't think this can be comparable to the argument about nuclear science either. Yes there was a bomb, but there was also a new energy source that actually could help the human race out. Where's the pro in controlling another being?
funny thing is...i only found license.txt's for non microsoft things, such as photoshop, trillian, divx, winrar, flash and so on...
Ok...so it made me chuckle...
So why is allowing others to read the terms of buying a piece of software or hardware (is hardware covered with eula's?) before actually buying it illegal? What if someone actually did start reading the eula's they got when they bought something? There would be a lot of returns if they took them seriously. You know who'd the returns would be at the expense of? The consumer. So again, why would giving the consumer the ability to read the agreements upon using the product before buying it a bad thing? Perhaps this will allow the producers of the eula's for their stuff will have to think twice before stomping all over the consumer if a database like this will be allowed.
Did anyone find it funny that the same company is dealing with Enron? http://www.sk.com/products/energy_chem/energy_chem _enron_b.asp Or is Enron now a generic term that I just missed?
Actually, wouldn't a better system incorporate the sun, earth and the moon? 28 seems like a nice number anyway. Does ANY country even use the metric time system? As far as I know it hasnt. A metric second would be different than what anyone knows as a second universally(or should I say globally). With that, the equations that use the second as its unit for time (which is a good majority in the scientific world from what I remember in my days in physics) would also have to be changed. On a slightly different tangent, I was told one reason the US didnt go with the metric system was that it'd be cost ineffective to change to it. Things such as machinery parts (adios 3/4inch hex bolt driver, hello 2cm(or metric equivalent of 3/4inch) hex driver). Also things like the tools that would go into the new parts would have to be bought and so on and so on.
And despite this problem with demand starting(?) to rise above what supply can dish out, most of the cable internet providers get revenue from the other side of their company, being their incredibly overpriced televison service. The bottom line is that this isn't a manuever to keep the companies alive, this is a move to get more money. Can't blame them entirely though...prices of things keep rising so the costs of living for their employees are also increasing meaning they'll need larger paychecks to keep them in the company, so maybe it is a move to keep the company alive afterall?
Plan and simple, I'm rambling and I just can't stop it...
Well, the illegal iso's are well...illegal. It's not a terribly common format to download software in, most of it coming in the form of *.exe and *.zip or whatnot. Actually, Linux is the first and last thing I've seen come as an iso (legitimately that is). Anything else in iso form I've come across was some form of a warez or another that required a cd to be in the drive while playing. Maybe I just live in a box and maybe it's more common than I've seen it though...
What's great is when the clerk is younger than you and you can force some "advice" onto him...great times.
"So be sure to hold your nose just as you orgasm..." or other stupid shit.
For one, why is Microsoft even messing with the schools? The kids need the money more than anyone, not some large corperation. Schools now are already at a shortage of money as it is.
Two: Linux is free, meaning more money to spend on other places in the school. Doesn't that whole "we need more money to buy new computers" sound familiar? Seems like most of the money goes into licensing while the rest goes into buying horrendously discounted (or getting even free) computers.
Three: Maybe I'm incorrect (having never been near a mac), but doesn't switching to the mac os require new hardware? I do know however, that switching from a windows machine to a linux os does not require a change in hardware, keeping costs down as well.
All and all, the money saved will go back to the kids and not to a big business with money already. What's the downside to a mass transition?
The downsides I see are getting teachers to learn how to use an os like linux. Personally, growing up on windows 95 and then transiting to linux just this year was quite a pain. In fact, I'm still learning quite a bit of things, while I've pretty much have the interface of windows mastered.
In light of that available argument, why don't the linux developers produce a version of linux made for windows weened kids (and teachers) so they can transist into it easier?
Slashdot Mirror
"as long as the SUV on the heater works" Damn, we are screwed. :p
"Wonder how long before this is contraband code like DeCSS." Until it gets onto the front page of slashdot...oh wait..
You'd be better off driving a van around with speakers mounted on the roof while having your band in the back jamming while also having the van running from the fcc. Ahh...good ol' college years... :)
"Either way were screwed." Unless we keep boycotting like crazy... :/
Even then we'll have our "martyrs" in the crowd.
Hopefully this makes some sense.

What on earth does that [sic] thing mean? I've seen it here and there but I've yet to find out.
Wouldn't it be http://www.fckvwls.com/ then?
Basically married? Don't let her know her know that. Did you just buy her a cellphone and then pop the question?

Laws to enfore what should be etiquette? What's next? Laws to enforce morals? Oh wait...
You don't. People tend to get ashamed of their screwups and tend to want to blame them on others, even if they're only trying to help. I wouldn't do a damned thing unless you knew you could keep your identity intact.
This might be due to the listen4ever site owners. Apparently I can still download whole albums on the redirected site.

What exactly would happen if the Earth stopped spinning?
