Let me see if I understand correctly. Not only is nothing now something, but someone owns it, and will sue if you use it. I hope this lawsuit will point out to legislators and courts worldwide how copyrights, patents, and other "intellectual property" laws no longer stimulate innovation or creativity, but have become nothing but a money grab scam. The following sentance used to be a double-negative, but is now perfect english. Don't buy nothing from the recording industry.
Time to kick media player to the curb, and use winamp, quicktime, realone, or anything else. Just take steps not to install the spyware if you use real. Do a custom install, not the quick install, and uncheck the things you don't need.
I never had the original odyssey, but my friends had Odyssey 2. I remember it's membrane keyboard, and thinking it could have made a decent computer. I also had the airplane dogfight game, and a flying sucer game for Channel F, as well as a few others. It's controller was capable of so much, but needed a trigger button. I think it was an analog control. After I traded it in for the Commodore 64, They finally offered a controller with a trigger, and a space invaders game. Someone should set up a museum for all those old-time game systems, and early computers. I also miss my Amiga 1200, but that's another story.
You have a good point. I did not think of patents in relation to the Ford/2600 case, but they don't seem to encourage innovation any more. They stifle it. The whole notion of intellectual property needs to be re-examined. An idea, once expressed, naturally belongs to the public domain. Patents, copyrights, and other protections on "intellectual property" are supposed to be temporary, to encourage creativity and innovation.
Before Atari, I had a Fairchild Channel F video game system. That one came out at about the same time as Magnavox Odyssey I wish I still had it, but I took Commodore's offer for a $100 rebate for trading in you old video game or computer with the purchase of a Commodore 64. I do still have my C-64, but having the Channel F too would rule. Did anyone else have one of those?
maybe that guy they found lying in the fetal position who wouldn't talk tp them was the troll. Maybe he was on a bad trip, or going through DTs, and that's why he didn't use the crowbar. I was upset that they didn't find any alligators, that would have been cool!
Slapp suits, that is suits meant to silence someone by falsely accusing them of libel or copyright infringement, knowing they don't have the resources to defend themselves, are a terrible menace to free speech. There should be greater consequences for wasting the courts' time with these. In some societies, anyone who came to court with a false accusation would recieve the same penalty the falsely accused would have recieved if convicted. If Ford were ordered to pay the amounts they sought from 2600, to 2600, then Slapp suits might go away. Trying them would be way to risky.
You don't even know who he was, do you? Not only are you a troll, but an anonymous cowardly troll. If someone kicked your ass, they would be a hero to me. A hero is someone to look up to, and admire. Anyone who ever picked up a bass guitar viewed Ox as a hero, and many rock music fans who never touched an instrument did, too. I know I risk getting modded down for profanity, but FUCK YOU, YOU ANONYMOUS COWARDLY TROLL! EAT MY SHIT!

Aluminum won't block enough signal. You need tin, or lead, and lead has it's own set of problems, such as being really heavy. It works for V-chip, and will work for your brain!
I picked up a bass guitar when I was in College from 1997 to 1981 because of players like John Entwistle. I will miss him. I had to sell it in the summer of 96 when I was out of work, and needed to eat. I get a chuckle every time I see the video for My Generation. When Moon, Townshend, and Daltrey start smashing things, John cradled his bass like a baby, and stepped away from them. Rest in peace, Ox.
I had to dissolve a web ring I started called "The Real News," Which included,my site and several others because webring.com was trying to feed gator, and other spyware such as weatherbug to anyone who visited my webring hub. I asked them to stop, but their boss told me I would have to pay a monthly fee to supress ads. Gator is the worst trojan horse ever written, and webring.com deserves to be another dead dot com. By the way, when Gator users store their passwords and credit card numbers so they can fill out forms, Is the Spyware sending those out, or making it easier for hackers and crackers to get at them? I would not be surprised.

If power plants, and other key facilities were run by standalone computers, not internet connected ones, then the terrorists would have to actually enter a facility to comprimise it. That would be much harder than hacking in through the net. Perhaps automation systems that can not be remotely controlled are a solution to this problem.
Many people are upset that the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court Of Appeals has ruled that a California law requiring school children to recite the Pledge Of Allegiance is unconstitutional. It is a law that respects an establishment of religion. Most people who object to the pledge would be happy if the "Under God" line, added in 1954, were removed. When President Eisenhower signed the law adding that line, he wrote, "Millions of our schoolchildren will daily proclaim in every city and town, every village and rural schoolhouse, the dedication of our nation and our people to the Almighty." This was clearly respecting an establishment of religion, the court ruled. There are other problems with the pledge.
Adding "Under God" was a cold war reaction to the "godless communists" of the former Soviet Union. The pledge forced our children to make a political statement, as well as a religious one.
Here is the biggest problem with the Pledge Of Allegiance: it is a loyalty oath. A free nation should not force anyone to swear a loyalty oath. That is something despots do.
Some religious Americans might also have a problem with the pledge, on the grounds that it constitutes idolatry. Children are made to turn and face a symbol, put their hands over their hearts, and swear an oath to that symbol. To many, this is just as much an act of idolatry as it would be if the symbol were a golden calf.
I support this court ruling. No one should be forced to swear loyalty to a symbol. No one should be forced to swear loyalty in a free nation.
Throw in a Web TV, and they got something! Does Ultimate TV already have that? I'm not sure. Such a box would have everything the average idiot could ever want in a computer, but it doesn't look like a computer, so it won't scare them.

An unmanned, horizontally launching, space shuttle. Good for the European Space Agency! NASA's low-tech cost-cutting plan, the X-4000 Launch Aparatus might be the best we can do here in the states.
It is a good thing the cancelled the launch. Considering the age of the shuttles, I would wager that they will find cracks in Columbia and Endeavour as well. Maybe they will just retire the fleet. Nasa may be ready to unveil the new X-4000 Launch Aparatus

Amen to that! Copyrights last way to long, and rob the public domain. For more info on that from a music angle, check out dontbuycds.org
