Are you implying that developers are not designing for the environment untill its out of beta?
I can only think of 2 justifiable reasons for this: 1) Developers can't figure out how to install a beta or alpha kernel.. 2) Developers dont trust it enough to belive that code written for a beta will work on an official release.
Back at the thoughtpolice headquaters: "32432789 likes monster drinks and swansons tv dinners!" "no kidding! he's pushing 215!" (pounds you metric barbarians)
Gah, i'll admit I went to a drive in 2 weeks ago with my 3 month old daughter. Pretty dissapointed with the quality (audio and video), i'm downloading pirates now so I can actually see it.
I'm off topic but i'll take the karma burn for harrassing you about the drive in...
One more thing before I go mr blast from the past... buy... callldddeeerrraaaaaa
You guys are like really still in the 90's arn't you? Btw when 2000 comes along for you, dont worry its a bunch of hype.
Not really, but seriously I renember seeing that when I was a kid, but are you sure its car battery paranoia or defrosting their windows and heating the air?
Something like this would revolutionize keyboard interface.
Nobody better have a patent on this yet cause i'm gonna personally drive down to their house and kick them in the ass for not producing it yet. So when someone does get a patent on it, its gonna be your responsibility to block it proving prior art through this post.
But a magnetic pressure point... you wouldn't even need true touchscreen just a flexible lcd. The magnet array would sit behind the lcd normally closed. When a button is avalable the magnets are energized and when you push down you get a reassuring click as the contacts physically connect (like how 2 opposite polarities will stick as long as they are sidways enough). Now you have enough pressure to run your fingers across the raised area. AND the magnetic field would be therapy to cure RSI.
Ok, i'm ready to make it, does anyone know where I can get some flexible lcd?
Nobody at my work saw a single sobig email. However we dont run our mail server (not that anybody else did either actually). So now I can Imagine yet another 2 weeks of sending and receiving only have of what is actually being transfered...
In fact just friday I received the tail end of email bounces from a week and a half before.
ATI to me means poor driver support, not neccesarily more stable then NVIDIA but the installers would be better applied with batch files. Performancewise they are as fast as they want to be. But they have been around forever and probably always will be.
NVIDIA to me means aswome driver installation but be prepared to roll back. Performancewise they are as fast as their agp speed. These guys are the ones who killed 3dfx, yet we dont hold a grudge againts them for it.
S3 to means cheap cheap, not value value, install in machines that will never have a monitor hooked up with the sole purpose of getting past a post test.
I would be much more impressed with a new name comming out of nowhere and whipping the competition like nvidia did to 3dfx. And if they needed some foundation they could point to the fact that they have been making cards for years but are an entirely different company (in mindset at least).
All those can go on your linux server which is always the hand me down.
If you really must plug in an old device do not use expansion cards, thats ineficient, and frankly I hate that. Use a usb port replicator, thats what they were there for and you can easily migrate across machines.
I know damn well that I have not had 1,000 people download every one of my songs that I share. maybe 10 people and they let 10 people download from them. Frankly I havn't sent more then 50 a complete song in years, only fragments. So i'm liable for the actions of people who get the song from me?
Really now...
How is this different then radio stations broadcasting music to hundreds of thousands and 1,000 people tape it and share it with their friend? Radio stations who often even say that you should get your tape recorders ready for new unreleased music.
Well my implication is that you have an aftermarket superchargeer in your car, take the car to the ford dealership for an oil change and they remove your supercharger.
However if this fix is related to hacking on the Live service i'm all for it.
That would be like having a nitro system in your car and the dealership disabling it. Still borderline ethics, but alot more understandable.
We get pissy when its a hardware bundle. Ford puts alot of research into their engines does that mean they should be allowed to remove all your modifications at any point without permission? On the other end I can see that I bought a directTV system here but I dont feel that I should be able to circumvent my account restriction.
But an Xbox, if I bought it I would want to do what I want with it, when people start making hacked servers for xbox live then we can question morality.
Indeed, I recently went back and played Doom and Doom2 I prefered the original Doom levels, the Doom2 maps just looked like a collection of the best homemade maps but lacked any consistancy and realism. If it wern't for that double barrel shotgun I never would have played it.
And compare that to a DJ saying "get your tape recorders ready were gonna play something thats not released yet"
If the difference is quality I have an artists entire collection of mp3's that are below radio station quality. If I share those would that be legal?
If its convinience then the RIAA just needs to make more junk music so its easier for me to record it off the radio then download it.
What will it take for people to realize the radio has been around for years and is THE cheapest way to pirate music? Does tivo need to come out with a radio version? The new microsoft media center version will have radio support. If we copy the music from the radio and then share the mp3's is that legal?
And there's a difference between taking one copy of a CD, vs distributing ten, one hundred, one thousand copies of that CD.
Yea, you take one CD you have now stolen $18 from someone. A stolen CD has a true value of $18 because the original owner decided that it was worth the $18 to spend, and that person no longer has that CD.
Copying and distributing gets fuzzy FAST. I share my music and you are free to listen to it, what makes that illegal if they only listen to it once? is that fair use? Or do I have to pay $.02 in licensing fee's each time they listen to it (internet broadcast)? am I responsible if they listen to it more then once? Suddenly a private party not making any profit gets SLAMMED against the wall vs a radio station that distributes music constantly WHILE MAKING A PROFIT to an unlimited amount of people. If those people record the music from the radio station the radio station itself holds no liability. Is the difference between the two intent? I can tell you a number of times when I hear DJ's say "get your tape recorders ready were going to play some new music that isn't really released yet -right after this commercial break!"
Selling bootleg copies is different because the music has a true value, people are willing to shell out money for it and that money would certanly go straight towards a legitimate music CD (one of identical quality as the bootleg CD)
And dont think true value has nothing to do with this. Otherwise radio stations need to pay $.99 per listener per song.
Good for her, however the RIAA comes out better for this as well. I'm not trying to make people in to martyrs, I dont think we should support people getting money for extortion, that just hurts the cause. Every dollar you donate to a victim who paid RIAA goes straight to RIAA, every dollar you donate to fight, is a dollar that is taken out of RIAA's pockets in prosecution.
Even for those who belive that downloading copyrighted songs is wrong an illegal you can't possibly agree with the tactics of the RIAA. Lord knows I love analogys so how much do you get fined for stealing 50 CD's out of someones car? (assume the car was unlocked and no charges can be filed for actually breaking into the car) Do you get fined $150,000 per track on each CD?
Do you even go to jail? I can steal those CD's from wallmart and get off with probation and only have to pay back the value of the CD's (but I dont get to keep them).
I am not a laywer but I've been a victim and Ive known a few criminals, what I have said is consistant with real life.
My analogy of the car alarm originates from a reply to a post, not the article.
In that post the scenario was assumed that the damages were including security. to quote: offline the system investigate the system to find intrusion do a complete reload from scratch identify other systems on the network with same vulnerability accessable by compromised system make decision to roll dice and guess others were not compromised or rebuild those systems also
All these actions listed are related to securing your system. If you can prove no damages were done to the core systems your simply taking inventory and (post)preventative steps for security in the future. Back to analogy from hell: If I have a collection of CD's in my car and I belive that the burgler stole one of them may I bill my own hours to take inventory of my CD's and count those hours as damages?
I bought a car alarm for my car. If I find someone trying to break into my car, can I charge the burgler for the cost of the alarm?
outragous? yes.
I bought a car alarm for my car. If I find someone trying to break into my car and need to update my car alarm, can I charge the burgler for the cost of the NEW alarm?
outragous? HELL YES.
but.. whatever, its a computer crime, i'll strangle the terrorist myself.
Alot of people blame riaa for the situation they were placed into. I just got out of my car this morning after hearing a vice president of communications at riaa on the radio. When asked about CD prices dropping and if they are really starting to realize what an appropriate value is for their product is. The vice president was kind enough to inform us all that adjusting the prices was impossible due to "anti trust" violations. *BLINK*

If this happens I will personally spider their msdn and rehost it so google can index.
Frankly I need to get work done and I'm not interested in helping beta testing a microsoft search engine when google already works great.
The most attractive feature in 3rd party clients?
The fact that there are no ads.
The fact that you can use one program to talk to people on different services.
