Tell you what, Bart, I'll trade you the weight of a bowling ball on the eighth moon of Jupiter for my lunch, for the weight of a feather on the second moon of Neptune from your lunch.
The problem is, I think, that the cop was never given the choice. If the guy had said "This conversation is being recorded. Anything you say can and will be used against you," then he would have been OK.
But it wouldn't be forced. If they don't like it, don't release singles. If you want to broadcast your song over my (as a taxpayer) airwaves, you have released it into the æther freeing it of the bonds of... where was I going with this...
This is probably a stupid suggestion for many reasons but:
What if, in order to release a single, studios (et al) had to give up broadcast rights to that song. Anyone who obtains a legitimate copy of the song can broadcast it whenever and however he/she likes, be that internet, radio or birthday party. The label/artist/whomever still controls all rights to sell/distribute the song, and the rest of the songs on the album that aren't marked as singles.
I know this clashes with the "make money from every angle" that the industry wants, but it seems like a reasonable trade (to me).
As an irrelevant aside: I generally read comments before titles (as titles on/. tend to be worthless). I don't really like when people put half the sentence in the title and the other half in the post. I know that redundancy sucks, but I much prefer it. Maybe it's just me... Meanwhile, back in the thread...
Ok, granted I never talk to my neighbors. I do, however, talk to this one guy in Singapore and this other in Australia and... you can see where I'm going with this. My community has become a global community rather than a local. As an added benefit, these people share share a common interest that I can instantly discuss, rather than some contrived subject like the weather or the local sports team. The "natural me" may be much more comfortable and witty (though far less handsome) with technology as a buffer.
Is this better or worse? I think it might just be different.
Well, we didn't even have a scientific process until a few hundred years ago, so we have that going for us now. Oh, and we stopped burning heretics (generally). Scientists have had a lot of ideas for years, and now their tools are starting to catch up. But I would say we must be near the end of the "low-hanging fruit."
When I was younger me and my friends would go to the theater and watch a few movies. Sure we would talk sometimes, but it was always humorous and appropriate.
These days all the punk kids just sit around the theater talking and ruining my movie. Don't even get me started on the ones on my lawn (kids, not movies).
See, I showed you how the movie-going experience has been deteriorated and the audience has gotten ruder (ruder? more rude?).
Plus, how many keys do they have before they exhaust them all?
They probably have somewhere around 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,45 6 (some math type dude could prob give you a more accurate number). But I doubt that they would use every combination.
BMI et al. is behind the first case. These cases wont go away until we start identifying them with the parent company, and not the RIAA. They already laughed off being named "Worst Company In America 2007." Being hated and feared is heir plan. This way the record companies can hide behind their little monster and not get the bad publicity. I wish slashdot and other sites would stop posting about the RIAA and start posting about the parent companies. This article should be "Patti Santangelo v. Elektra Entertainment Group, Virgin Records America, UMG Recordings, BMG Music and Sony BMG Music Entertainment May Be Over."
I guess we could shorten the company names for readability.
While monopolies TEND to be bad they aren't evil in and of themselves.
Monopolies are like guns: they only do damage if someone uses them to do damage.
Students in America are commonly told to work in groups. The fact that it is done in this one example doesn't necessarily invalidate the parents point. It could, in fact (depending on the success of the groups) support it.
One of the schools in my region tried making all the classes non-required attendance. The students never showed up, and the school dropped in the state standardized testing. One school? In one region? For how long? There is a common saying where I come from: 'Screenshot, or it didn't happen.' Also one about anecdotes and data, but I am too lazy to look that one up (damn public education!).
Sure, low pay, but also, the teachers don't get paid less or more due to their performance.This is a separate problem, and doesn't address the parent. Also, pay is only one factor in '(attracting) highly educated and highly functional people.'
Again, teenage students start screwing off when left to their own devices. Maybe not if they could just go home and play GTA.
There isn't a national curriculum in America as long as No Child Is Left Behind
Writting well EngRish, and being able to hold a continual argument for many pages is an important skill. Math is important so that you can do your taxes. Physics is important so that... But it isn't taught this way. It is taught as a end in and of itself.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that the parent was 100% right. But there may be better arguments against his/her (why is there no acceptable gender neutral pronoun) points.
Actually I just came in here for the witty comments.
Johnny checks out the apartment, which is dark and filled with computer monitors, all displaying virtual bonsai trees. Berke says he's quit working on Anza, and he's moved on to virtual bonsai gardening.
Actually 1 yen is about.85 cents
So, if you can manage to pay all in 1 yen coins, you can save 15 percent. Numerator, denominator... whats the difference?
If science is worth dying for can you point to a single result coming from the shuttle program that was worth a human life?
I believe the parent is saying, in effect, that human life isn't worth very much (in a supply/demand kind of way), and that the gain we get as a species is worth the cost of a few hundred people blowing up or dying of radiation on the trip to the moon/mars/the nearest solar system/NEO. The disconnect between you is the cost of human life. He says that spiderwebs in space are worth 7, and you say they aren't. Personally, I lean more to the "meh, they volunteered," side than the "oh the huge manatee!" side (as if you cared).
Slashdot Mirror
Well, he did say that it was under the file server options. A wireless fileserver with search indexing doesn't sound all that odd.
Do you get paid every time you write "the film"?
For those who don't know: Panem et Circense
The problem is, I think, that the cop was never given the choice. If the guy had said "This conversation is being recorded. Anything you say can and will be used against you," then he would have been OK.
- the key finding of another
- an odd coincidence
- someone was talking a little too much?
I would bet on 1 or 3. Well, I guess there could have been cooperation between the 3 groups, but I doubt it.I'm, pretty sure the point of this is that you can plug it into a usb slot and you dont need a multi-card reader.
It always bugs me when things like this happen. Businesses can outsource their labor and production, but we can't outsource our merchants.

Maybe he was talking about a Microsoft/Walmart (i.e. Big cajónes) joint venture.

I voted for him because he promised coca-cola from all the water-fountains and no homework :(
You are correct sir! The rest of the post still stands though.
