I base my life around what is morally correct, not what is on the lawbooks.
You must have a hard time finding an entire wardrobe made by non-exploited workers, never eating bananas, never being able to fill your car with gas, getting your significant other jewelry that wasn't paid for with the blood of countless africans... (more lefty-babble here)
oh wait, do you mean you live life by what is morally correct, as long as it fits your lifestyle?
i never knew downloading roms made you morally right. you learn something new every day.
Maybe it's an attempt by Disney to hurt Ghibli (wouldn't put it past them)
I think so too. When I enter multimillion dollar distributing projects with companies, the first thing I do is try to fuck up our product. Then i go after the company. Makes perfect sense. You are a genius.
Most high-end spammers now setup and use a blind relay which obfuscates thier originating ip. People in 'the biz' who are good enough at what they do to have friends, pool these blind relays between themselves.
Of course these relays do get shut down, but just as soon new ones pop up. Most anti-spam is originating-ip focused and haven't caught on yet.
How do i know all of this? I used to work for the enemy. Sitting in on meetings is enough to get me to me write a book.
Now I can have an expensive player that has too-small-to-push-with-out-searching-for-them buttons and memory to hold all of 3 medium quality CDs worth of music. Jeez, get an iPod
Yeah, nothing like doing aerobics/punch training/skating laps with a big ipod clipped on to your waistband. Leave it to nerds to have no clue about the dynamics of large objects clipped on to you during heavy, involved exercise.

You conveniently misread: "lie, steal, tresspass, etc".
And you're conveniently splitting hairs.
Okay, "How is wanting to report a Bush family member's drug trial or reporting on the WTO protests lying, stealing or trespassing etc?"
I was ignoring your digression and sticking to the general topic, reporters are subject to the same laws as you and I. Which is how it should be.
Excellent deduction, and it would be relevant if I was complaining about how press freedom was limited due to press members getting arrested for doing obviously illegal things. I attempted to point this out to you by using the bush and wto scenarios, but you're obviously not interested in having a discussion.
Thanks anyways for coming out. Next time you want to masturbate, close the door.
Freedom of the Press permits journalists to print anything they discover. It does not shield reporters who use illegal means to gain such information, if caught engaging in illegal activities a reporter can be justly prosecuted. That is not a violation of freedom of speech. Trying thinking critically, just a little bit.
Unless it's intellectual property, sensitive information to the government, libelous, Noelle Bush's criminal drug proceedings, reporters at WTO protests...
Who defines what's illegal for the press? The same body it critiques?
Try thinking critically, just a little bit. Thanks and drive through.
I hope the Slashdot audience will take two seconds to look at this ranking critically and realize exactly how little it really means. America still guarantees an degree of freedom of speech and freedom of the press that even many European countries don't enjoy.
I wonder what the founding father's opinon would be of it's country being just 'good enough' and 'better than a lot of people'.
I'm not particularily a left wing thinker, but I guess I'll spin this to the left anyways. Having a country who guarantees freedom of the press in thier constitution lagging behind countries that have no such beginnings makes you wonder about how much the people of said country care about thier own history. It makes you wonder how much people care anymore about being free as thier own country defines it.
The press is supposed to be more than just somewhere you find out the news. The press is supposed to be an independant check on the integrity of the government and the status quo.
disney has always made a point to release thier anime with subs and original voice track.
in my opinion, disney does a bang up job of bringing legitamacy to japanese anime in the USA. not only do they release these movies with superstar talent to bring attention to the picture, they always have maintained a steady release schedule.
i really dont see where you can call what they do 'bastardization'. there are very few above-par english dubs on anime, so them bringing thier own into the mix doesn't affect consumers.
if anything disney helps by exposes the art to a wider audience. good for them.
They always have a product or service you can buy to offset thier costs, but they never shove it down your throat.
any time piro isn't on time with a comic, it's because he's taking care of his wife or full time job. i'd much rather him complete one strip a week then sacrafice his 'real life'.
However, calling nVidia a 'almost-monopoly' because they have the most market share is ridiculous.
One entry found for monopoly.
Main Entry: monopoly Pronunciation: m&-'nä-p(&-)lE Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural -lies Etymology: Latin monopolium, from Greek monopOlion, from mon- + pOlein to sell Date: 1534 1 : exclusive ownership through legal privilege, command of supply, or concerted action
they have almost all of the market share. they are almost a monopoly. i don't see what's so hard about this point. ati is making a valiant effort, but they aren't shipping the kind of units/chips that nvidia is. sis, matrox, 3dlabs and trident do not have a 3d architecture even comparable to the latest nvidia offerings.
if tomorrow nvidia released detonator drivers with a special feature or program, it would become a standard. big companies make games for nvidia chips. people speak about games in nvidia terms (that game's a geforce2 featureset game).
face it kiddo, nvidia is *the* video card maker right now when it comes to consumer desktop 3d.
Instead of calling it your 'inbox', it's now your 'american spirit'.
Those dirty emails you send to your wife are now 'vital communications of the heart'. Your mom nagging you to visit her more often are 'sincere messages from the home front'.

Can you imagine that if you had one it would be trivial to make a beowulf cluster of them?
by your argument, people should get rid of thier in-dash radio and just play cds and tapes.
Like you for taking this joke seriously?
He was joking. Settle down.

i'm sorry, are you saying installing linux will FIX my desktop usability problems?
heh.
are you here all week? i won't forget to tip the waitress.
could these xbox hackers come over and get my ms office from asking for my cd every time i do a 'find' in explorer?
that would REALLY impress me.

an almost-monopoly and a true monopoly combine like voltron to create yet another monopoly on graphics languages.
