    If it only were a crime...

    Hint:
    - Giving away stuff that you do not own because all you got was this lousy license, is breaking that contract.
    - Downloading stuff that someone offered you without any license (as in: free for everyone), is not anything. No breaking of any contract (Beause: Which contract would that be?), and no breaking of any law. (It was offered to you without any terms. How can you know if that person is not the rights holder. He claimed he holds that rights. You are not the one who has to check for this.)
    - Murdering **AA officials in their beds is a crime... unfortunately. ^^

    A .com business. And I do not work there anymore.

    But you are close. It really was like a porn studio in the summer, in case you were into the beautiful tits and bare feet and legs of scantly clad girls. :D

    In this case, what I meant was my boss coming into my office, and saying: "Come into my office. I want to show you something." (Which was a website. Not some body part. But it may have contained porn. :)

    Damnit. You already said exactly what I was thinking, but in one compact sentence. :)

    I think, when we can turn sand and iron (or similar abundant materials) into something plasticlike, by using a plant that only needs electricity from sun, and maybe other things that are made from these materials... And a process that recycles 100% of it... Then we have got a sustainable cycle that can work even on tomorrow's overpopulated world.

  8. The 90s called! They want their CDs back! on Amazon & TuneCore To Cut Out the RIAA Middleman · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I don't get the point of pressing a CD. Who has a CD player anyways nowadays? I mean, I can buy a in-car-stereo with a USB connector for 100! It home, most people have their computers hooked to some amplifier or active speakers anyways. And I don't know if anyone even owns a portable CD player anymore.

    I should start making band sites, that work like this:
    - A basic site and page structure, including tour dates, a "blog", a gallery, a discography, a biography and artist infos, and contact / fan page / forumm.
    - A wonderful individual design. Alternatively they could use their own friend- or fan-made design. Doesn't matter. No licensing crap! They have own the whole site.
    - A very simple on-site shop with all songs, bundles of songs as EPs or albums, and paypal to buy and directly download the files from the site. In MP3, AAC, OGG, WAV, FLAC, APE, BIN/CUE, etc. With all metadata (even lyrics), cover images, and some bonus stuff too.
    - A admin area for the artist, to upload songs (as wav, or an albums in bin/cue), assign cover images, metadata, bonus-stuff-zips, and so on.
    - An optional automatic insertion into every music shop on the net.

    I would only have to program it once. Then an artist would only have to pay the design, plus a small fee for setup and a tiny part of the initial programming. I bet I could do this for $1100 with design, and $100 without.

    Dull? It contains sentences about how you have to painfully slap your girl before sex, so she gets in the mood.

    I don't know about you, but I think even nowadays that does not count as "dull". ^^

    Oh, and it's not about sex only. Much is about foreplay. So it's more a book for girls, who still enhance their sex with their imagination. :P

    What do you mean by "back"? You say that, as if that "not going to retardville" would be a bad thing.

    Sorry, but my point was, that I want Linux to be that way. (Not GUIified and made for idiots. Because then, only idiots will be able to use it.)

    I think there is only one problem with the command line: You don't know what you can do with it, until you know it. That's why menus are more popular: You can see what you can do beforehand.
    For everything else, it's very close to perfection.

    So we should change the command-line, so that for every program, every parameter and every construct, we always display a structured "list" (or tree or graph) of things you can do.
    I am 100% sure, that when you get that right, and allow the shell to use the power of high-res-high-color graphics, that you can make it the most favorite tool of beginners.

    Hmm... I think I will come up with something like that myself...

    Of course, your slaves still have to reproduce. And that's why there is the missionary position.

    Funny how there are religions, where they do the same shit with eating. Like disallowing everything except mixed pickles and raw cereals.

    What crazy bank sends *TANs to mobile phones in the first place?? Even this possibility would be a reason for me to terminate the contract.
    I really recommend chipcard based systems. I use a class 2 terminal, and HBCI. It's not only much more comfortable, it's also on a completely different level in terms of security.
    (In case you do not know how it works: Everything between the chipcard controller and the bank system basically only forwards encrypted packets. And if anything meddles with them, it detects this. You need the card, and a code of six numbers, and the server associates a user with that login. Every transaction that follows this, has to be accepted by the chipcard/terminal. The ones with keypads *and* displays are the most secure, because they show the details of the transaction *on* the terminal, and you have to say ok *with* that terminal. So the only open hole that I know of, is physical tinkering with the card and the terminal. Which still would be pretty hard, but not impossible. But if anyone can do this, I'm fucked anyway. ^^ [Oh, and of course, if you know of any problems with this system, I'm happy to hear them.])

    Yeah. Consoles nowadays are just PCs with some special electronics. But still usable. And why wouldn't they.

    Actually it would be pretty cool, to create a modular thing, that can be a small console, a portable, and a whole PC, depending on how you put the parts together.
    You could also save money by only buying what you need, instead of all the bundled crap.
