What is wrong with wringing every cent of value off of your internet service? You pay for it. If they don't like it they can advertise lower speeds or something, instead of being deceptive and limiting people who are doing nothing wrong.
If anything he is libertarian. Anything that requires government intervention to protect is against the true principles of capitalism. You sir are much more communist in your belief of government interventionism.
Don't support these companies, but don't deprive yourself either. If you try the game and like it, then play it. Just don't pay for it, pirate it! And the windows you'll need, pirate that too!
And if you find that it isn't so good that you can't resist it, then resist it. Don't help it's popularity. Don't host servers, etc.
But please, use your money to reward only, not because society expects payment.
Bell Internet sucks anyway. They have very strict download and bandwidth limits with huge fees if you go over. And they introduced these limits without even a letter(email doens't count, not everyone uses ISP email) or phone call to thier customers. Waking up to a 150$ dsl bill without warning isn't very good customer service. I'm sticking with the friendly local DSL providers thank you.
I try to be hopefull about the future of america, but shit like this keeps coming up. Are these idiots trying to cause a bloody civil war? Or do they think they can actually pull off a stalinist reversal of america?
Is there any way to get around this for users from other countries without software patents?
Can a mozilla "fork" that will be based entirely not in the US keep these capabilities? And could the main mozilla branch be kept completely compatable with the fork so that they would merely have to swap one compartmentalized chunk to restore plugin abilities and remain up to date?
and I don't want them to have any credit for something I have accomplished--which they clearly would if they gave me the money," says Steve Potter
How is it naive and childish thought to not want an organization that you dislike to take credit for your ideas?
Although if you strictly meant the portion about the military existing you have a point, but why quote the whole thing then?
"If the computer is an 80486-based system, the Central Processing Unit (CPU) can be plugged into its socket in more than one way. One corner of the processor is bevelled and the matching corner of the socket will also be marked, but if these markings are disregarded - or if the user decides instead to line up the printing on the CPU with that on the motherboard - then the processor can be inserted in one of the three other alignments. This makes the chip's destruction, possibly with the emission of smoke, quite likely. Intel regrettably made processor misalignment impossible with the introduction of the Pentium series, unless of course the enterprising user is equipped with a mallet."
I've actually done this one, but regretably no serious damage was done.
Thanks for a great new idea SCO!
1. Leave an item of yours hidden in a walmart.
2. Sue walmart for taking your item, but refuse to identify the item.
3. ?Extortion?
4. Profit!
Linux geeks don't ussually buy low end machines(celeron, onboard video, low ram etc.) that aren't possible to upgrade(no agp slot). And people that normally buy low end machines don't even know about linux. So who exactly is thier market for this product? or is it intended to fail.
I have found that only 2-3 brands(out of dozens tried) work decently on anything but the originating drive. I commonly burn "home videos" to SVCD for my DVD player, and PSX "backups", music "backups" in an OLD cdplayer, as well as a quick way to transfer files to my old 486, and the best brand for my uses is verbatim, with fujifilm coming in second. All generic brands seem to fail on at least one of the devices I use except those. Maybe it's just because my burner is japanese that is favors japanese brands, I have no clue.
I agree that this applies to KDE, but gnome is definately moving towards simplicity quite nicely. All it needs is to refine the system configuration intergration more.
It's back up to 13.xx, what kind of idiots are responsible for such purchases? This once again reaffirms my belief that the market is nothing more than gambling.
According to MSFT's liscence, they own all the copyrights to the data that traverses their network. Not to mention the likely random spying and keyword flagging that they surely use.

FFIV is the best game ever.
Maybe that's why I can't see how to order anything.

Damn, I should've believed you, nooooooooo......

I'll give them a year, and if they stick to this I may give them another try. Have there rates gone up any?
His facts seem to agree with yours to me, assuming he is Canadian.

If it is based outside of the US, can software patents still effect them?

I'm looking forward to Doom3 much more than HL2. But will they be coming out in the same year?

I have to admit, homonids was a good book. I think this is the first time I've read a sci-fi book before it won a major award.

didn't many of the former GIA members found gameforms.com ? It's not a clone of the GIA, but it does do a good job of copying the quality.
