2) According to the press release on the RIAA site, it sounds like I would be infringing copyrights if I rented/bought a movie and thn invited all my friends over to watch it, or worse yet, loaned it out to them, or geve them the movie after I watched it
Well, I do on a DVD that has a disclaimer saying that it is intended for home viewing and that watching it out of my family circle is an infringement of some sort. What the fuck they ever gonna do about it I don't know, though...
This only applies to new Macs, so your computer won't magically stop booting into OS9 when you want it too. And if you buy a new comp, just use the old one to play your old games.
How the fuck is an artist from the 60's going to be helpful in erasing drugs from the music industry!? You can be sure she's had more than her share back then!
Ah, yes, but then what about new words? The current filter assigns, what,.2 to a new word? Wouldn't just adding random ascii strings greatly reduce the chance of being marked off as spam? Just put a few hundred meta words that are just randomly assigned and you've pretty much fucked the system. The solution obviously is to assign a higher spam probability to unknown words, but then people who don't speak english exclusively may get a lot of false positive.
extremism n : any political theory favoring immoderate uncompromising policies
Consult a dictionary before *you* post.
Just take into consideration abortion: there are many people who are against it, and in some places they are certainly the majority. However, I'm pretty sure not everyone who is anti-abortion is a numbnut who goes around killing people who perform abortions. An extremst isn't someone who has a point of view most people don't have; it's someone who is willing to use means than most people would consider insane.
Extremism is the inability to compromise, or recognize that other people may not want the same thing as you
Instead of convincing you that you should change, an extremist will try to coerce you into following his ideas; it's the antithesis to freedom of choice, and I have no idea what sort of person would utter such as thing during a Presidential Election campaign. I damn sure hope he wasn't elected.
I don't know about the rest of the world, but here switching ISP for DSL is totally useless since the other ISPs just buy the lines from Bell. So you always get the same service with the same dl/ul caps no matter who you're with.
The problem is that both cable and telephone are pretty much monopolies around here, so there's no way to get a good priced high speed connection.
Hell, last month the DSL started limiting upload and download quantities AND went 5$ up at the same time. That's when I decided I didn't need high speed enough to keep supporting the fuckers.
Is the Time Magazine printed in Braille? Cause else I don't see what a blind person would do with it...
And many people 'round here seem unaware that there are visually impaired people who aren't totally blind. If you have to take every fucking bill two inch from your face to see the number on it, then it's not exactly practical, IS IT?
ow far is the ocean's floor? If I remember correctly, they see remains of a city a that point in the story... which means they are over what used to be mainland.
How much can the water level rise by melting the ice caps? I must admit I have no idea, but I'm pretty sure it's nowhere near 10,000 feet.
It ain't much different from slashdot trolls, except even cheating at UT must be more interesting than hitting refresh every 10 second hoping to get first post.
Create your own license, which states that the sources are available but binaries built on this source cannot be distributed without a significant improvement. Then define "significant improvement" (which is the real tough part).
If done well enough, I'm sure it could end up mighty popular
My guess is you could do this, but it wouldn't be the GPL anymore. The license is something you create yourself... the thing is, when creating your own license, you have many chances of having loopholes which the users may abuse.
If you use the GPL, it's because you want it. If someone wants to use GPLed software source, they have to accept the limitations; if they're not happy with it they can create their own source.

SHhhhh! Quiet! You'll giv'em ideas
As an artist from the 60s...

That's a ludicrous thing to say.

This isn't exactly off-topic... Turbo Linux says it isn't dead, but it'll be stone dead in a moment, neh? It's just a badly played out metaphor/joke.

You sure it's legal to lend a cd these days? I have a DVD that specifically disallows me from watching it outside my family circle...

Sortof like a modern, complex Karel in other words ;)
If you go take a look at Microvision's website, you'll see that MEMS can be used in everything and are the best thing ever.
Or so they tell you
More than likely they're just trying to get gobs of money from investors... maybe what Cringely's saying is true, but I can't share his enthusiasm
Aren't we talking about a bunch of fundamentalists? Why would they care about future discoveries... they usually end up refuting them anyway

Yes but then (in more recent versions of Opera) you can just press F12 and change the settings
