I think the MPAA and RIAA are starting to move to a new bussiness model at last.
They will create material, promote it, advertise for it, never bother actually distributing it (aside for a few insider 'leaks') then sue the crap out of anyone who possess it.
I heard about that and what a disaster it was. IP addresses not being able to support their parents. Parents abandoning IP addresses along the side of the road because they didn't have the last bit set to 1. There have even been round ups of parents accused of getting around the system and NATing. *sniff*

Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered Jaguar community when slashdot confirmed that Jaguar will be dead by the end of this month. Coming on the heels of a recent Register article report that the average sales has fallen yet again, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. That Jaguar is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent World Wide Icon diversity test.
You don't need to be a Bill Gates to predict Jaguar's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Jaguar faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Jaguar because Jaguar is dying. Things are looking very bad for Jaguar. As many of us are already aware, Jaguar continues to lose users. Bugs flow like a river of blood.
The Developers are the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of their Market Share. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time programer John Galt only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Jaguar is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Jaguar leader Jobs states that there are 7000 copies left. How many sales are there? Let's see. The number of sales versus buying posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 Sales. For Sale posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of storage posts. Therefore there are about 700 Copies For Sales. A recent article put sales at about 80 percent of the OSX market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 Sales. This is consistent with the number of Sales Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of the TCP Stack, abysmal User Interface, the browser war and so on, Apple Computers went out of business and was taken over by Microsof who sell another Web Browser to international computing interests. Now LISA is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that Jaguar has steadily declined in Users and Developers. Jaguar is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Jaguar is to survive at all it will be among carzy Macintosh Zealots. Jaguar continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Jaguar is dead.
LOL....you actually think that people in the US care about being environmentally responsible? You think that the government wants us to conserve gas? With states beginning to tax people based on how far they go instead of how much fuel they buy? With our rock bottom fuel prices? It's sad that we live in a nation that says "If I can afford to buy the gasoline for my SUV to drive me to work each day, then it's my right to".
Seriously, This is nation is making me sick. I hope that in 4-5 years we have gas prices as bad as europe. Maybe then people will pull thier head out of their asses and realize that a single career woman living in the city doesn't need to drive a 15mpg Ford to work every day.
Based on the headline, I breifly held the hope that they would educate you on how to P2P. However, I then made the mistake of reading the summary. So what have we learned from this? It's not enough that you don't read the article before posting, you also can't read the summary before posting. If I hadn't, I could have posted a "OMG 3y3 can't bel3ive thye R go1ng to t34ch us to p1r4t3!!!!!!!1111", but now I'm stuck with this lame post instead.
I think the only people it would server are the Koreans and the Germans. The koreans because they have that reaction time such that 2ms after I've exposed one pixel, they're awped me twice and have the deagle out in case that didn't do the job. The Germans because they're the only nationality that consistently uses stratagy.
It would be appropriate for the french to have a team, since Vietnam is the war we inherited from them
Hell, why not just get all/.ers to toss in $20 and BUY SCO? Then we could forget about all this crap and get on with news that really matters... (what's Natalie up to these days?).
But If i give up $20, how will I afford bowls of hot grits?
I deeply apologize to you. My misquoted followup got all the karma points, while your correct finishing quote got none. If i could, i'd give you all of those karma points. *note, for once, i'm NOT being sarcastic*
Its the type that keeps on telling you that you shouldn't drink beer, because 'the next bottle will have that same beer taste' and that its been proven that beer can lead you to having bad trips for the rest of your life.
SCO announced today that there was oil beneath numerous IBM research and development labs. In a press conferece 15 minutes later, George W Bush said "We have seen how IBM and the so called open source movement have been helping terrorists. Now we know they plan on controling oil prices around the world, holding us all at their mercy. We must strike quickly to eliminate this menace before they help a nation besides us get weapons of mass destruction."
I was prepared for the harsh stance IBM was taking, but I wasn't prepared for the ascii middle finger and the "W3 0wnz0r j00 5c0 b10tch" on the bottom.
I didn't know that Star Trek was translated into 1337 until I saw this. I looked it up, and it seems that the whole star trek series was origionaly written in 1337, and only later translated. Here is an example:
The scene: On the bridge of the enterprise as they battle the borg
Data: OMG!! their firing on us!!!!11
Picard: w0rf, AWP they're ass
Worf: OMG!!! thye h4v3 a sheild hack...3y3 can't get through
Picard: i thought they fixed that in teh last patch.
Crusher: we must be on a unpatched sector.
Picard: This is BS. Crusher, get us to a patched sector
Picard: Crusher!!!
Crusher: Sorry, AFK (phone)

You "buy" a few words on their DNS server, which gets mirrored by every other Primary DNS server out there. In a way, it's like buying a sign for the front of your store. Sure, people might stumple upon your pr0n server at 18.1.26.5 by random, but if you have something that says sex.com and it point there, you'll generate a lot more revenue. Think of it like having the best Strip bar in all of New York City, but no sign. All customers have to identify you is the street address. Sure, some word of mouth bussiness will occur, but when you get a sign that says "SEX" you'll get more perv^H^H^H^Hcustomers.
I still want to make a CD-Bake oven. You get pre-made cookie dough, put it in something that resembles a CDROM drive, and after 10 minutes of Quaking, *ping*, cookie.

They're much more liberal than that nowadays. They've given the option a the sword for the traditionalists, a pistol, a rifle, a grenade, or a cliff.

Yeah, that will work. Its not like the colombians have experience smuggling illegal substances into our country...
