What about all those people who burned karma saying they wanted to protect our freedom by patenting censorship? You thought they were crazy didn't you?
Well, I dont think its as black and white as it seems. There is always information witheld to the lower ranks in almost all religions, starting with christianity in the older days, the priest was the only one who was supposed to actually read the bible and translate it for you, that was their purpose, granted thats all changed now. However I beleive mormans withold information to those not of their own, and carry a "level" system similar to scientology, at least I make this assumtion based on the limited access to their temples from outsiders.
DirecTVDSL did this when nimda was rampant, and you had to email them to ask for you account back. Yes email, the department that suspends your account does not have a phone number. I offered to drive down and make my request personally but they said that was illegal or something (it was by no means a "threat" as they called it I was serious)... So after a week numerous emails my account was reinstated on a saturday (aparently the only day the abuse department worked)
As much as I hated them for that I griped like hell when they shut down.
Can someone make a corporation and sell the shares on ebay with the exception that the transaction is only complete when there is enough money to buy Vivendi?
Dont look at me my ebay rating isn't THAT good to be trusted with 800 mil...
Praise be to Linus, Lord of the Linux. Blessings and peace be upon the developers of the open source. To proceed:
To discharge responsibility, and to fulfil an obligatory duty regarding the situation of our end users resisting in occupied operating system, I would like to remind us all of the following:
The jihad of our brothers in occupied operating system is a great jihad in the path of Linus, to defend the sacred rights of the GNU, to lift the oppression from themselves and to liberate their code and the code of the GNU. They hope for the reward for what they experience of pain, worry and exhaustion. I do not know of any jihad in the path of Linus today that is better than jihad with them, for whoever has capability over that with wealth, self, words or du'a.
Therefore, assisting them is an obligatory duty and helping them is a necessarily compulsory matter upon all end users by the dictates of the unambiguous texts of the Book and the License. Linus said, "SCO is smoking crack" He also said, "I think IBM got serious about Linux because it noticed that it _was_ 'adequate for enterprise use' from a technical perspective" and to that we must defend. He also said, "Yeah, I don't personally think they have any IP rights on Linux, and I agree, it looks more like a suit over the contract rather than over Linux itself." The Prophet, Stewart Brand, said, "Information wants to be free"
I remind myself and all my brothers of the source forge and slashdot about the virtues of jihad, DoS and martyrdom in the way of Linus. These are well-known, and all Praise belongs to Linus. Part of that is jihad with wealth, for this is one of the greatest sacrifices and one of the best types of jihad at any time, so what about the case when there are barriers preventing the end users from waging jihad with their selves in Utah? Due to the magnificent status of jihad with wealth, Linus mentioned it before jihad with the self in most places in the Noble EULA, such as His sayings, "Nothing in this license agreement limits your rights under, or grants you rights that supercede, the terms of any applicable Linux EULA." (Redhat: 41)
Truly, to humiliate them or to belittle assisting them and lifting oppression and sanctions upon them is a great sin, the waste of a huge opportunity to smash the hopes of the Shareholders, and is to expose all end users and developers to a critical danger. If the end users do not take advantage of this opportunity today, they will regret missing it until a time that only Linus knows.
Com'on you arn't excited about the professional gamer industry? Like football athletes we'll start hearing endorsements from the winners of tournaments.
It would be nice when this is done to work soley on making an easy to use editor to make your own max maps. The last game you could actually watch someone else play and the "theater experiance" would be better then alot of current movies out there ("The One" comes to mind). Voice acting would be difficult (maybe some voice filters to clean up amerature attempts?). But imagine downloading a map with a game lifetime of 2 hours, and a decent plot (tv episode quality). You could actually play it and other people would be entertained just watching.
Software alone should be an exception from patents. Copyrights are ok to protect branding but patenting algorithims is like patenting a shortcut for a daily commute. People built cars and roads to you could use them as you wish. Same thought behind people building hardware and compilers.
I think the next greatest thing will a true port of the text game Empire. I have yet to have seen a game that incorporates all the military units BF1942 comes close but no subs and getting the units to go where you want them too is difficult, its like they have a mind of their own!
ever since this "internet" thing came along I havn't found a use for using my license. Lets make an agreement that the powerline internet gets shut down on field day, cause thats kinda fun.
*eyes widen*...But there hasn't been any link beetween powerline internet and 802.11 performance has there?
But really these items are based on perceived value. So if people just consider the fact that their "heavens gate broadsword" may become useless in the next patch. If the actual game maker brokered the sales they could get a % of the action, but actually they would be more liable then if the sale was made through ebay.

I really want one but if it doesn't go back into its charger on its own, you lose alot of efficiency from the whole idea.
nevermind...
They want you to buy an XBOX/PS2. And buy it.
...
again.
No more great ideas from me...
If sega REALLY wanted to make people happy they would release a the server softare. Can anyone think of any good reasons for them NOT to do this?
on October 16th third party applications will once again work with msn network through the illegal ways of reverse engineering.
kthanksbye
Pretty scary, in my day you used to read the article before posting. Kids these days dont even read the post.
wait, what the hell am I doing responding to an AC?
2 words,
HAY LO!
Havn't tried the game emulated but does the windows version run better in wine then the beta port?
1.) buy SCO stock.
2.) let SCO win.
3.) sell SCO stock.
4.) patch to 2.6
5.) Profit!
6.) Revenge!
7.) Redundant!

I never realized how much Max and Duke have in common. Maybe someday they will make Max VS Duke: Winner gets the girl.
The exploit is microsofts fault, the virus is third party. Yea, that sounds like 50/50.
So why not just wait till we have a few lifetimes to spare before we start to worry about it?

Preach on brother, 1/4 lb pattie MY ASS!

"What can we do to prevent them from no longer being available?"
Nothing. You will die. Your kids will not want to play it. The games will die. Maybe they will be in a museum. But that museum will die too.
I totally agree that the liability is the reason.
