Don't gloat for too long because you might miss the lobbying that is currently occurring over there with the aim of imposing similar restrictions ala the DMCA...
I don't think I'm comfortable with you referring to the weekly world news as "the paper"
Notice he didn't specify which type of paper. For all you know he could be referring to it as a replacement for the scented, quilted two-ply tissue so conveniently packaged in a roll...
You really have no idea on how many different countries the US has bombed in the last 50 years or so - right?
Do a search - you'll be surprised.
Considering that I majored in U.S. History at at well-respected university and considered obtaining my Masters in History (MIS instead), YES I DO KNOW HOW MANY COUNTRIES THE US HAS "BOMBED".
But that wasn't your original point - you conveniently skewed some statistics by including a period that has never been reproduced in its destructiveness of human life - WWII.
Your response only confirms to me that you are only trolling and are not interested in arguing any particular point you raise.
You might want to read up on how many civilians the US has killed since.. oh.. let's say 1940.
Don't respond to trolls... Don't respond to trolls... Don't respond to trolls... Don't respond to trolls... Don't respond to trolls... Don't respond to trolls... Don't respond to trolls...
ARRRRGGG!!! I should really know better, but how convenient for your argument that you should choose the WWII years, arguably the most destructive period in History. But let's look at the TOTAL picture; what is the percentage of those deaths that come from 1941-1945? I can state unequivocally that it will be the VAST majority. Why? Because we were at a state of TOTAL WAR. How many Poles died at the hands of Germany? How many Chinese at the hands of the Japanese? Do you think for a split second that the total war that occurred in WWII didn't happen for a reason?
He mentioned his father was using a SOFTWARE Base Station; i.e., he is sharing his internet connection through use of an airport card in the computer connected to the broadband connection.
In the town and county levels there isn't the corruption that exists up top.n the town and county levels there isn't the corruption that exists up top.
I don't know where you live, but in every community I have lived the monied and landed interests control the town/city and county government. Ever been to a local planning board meeting?
Are the schools there teaching children not to question anything, stop thinking and take what's being said on TV as some holy thoughts?
When the schools are only concerned about securing their funding through making students pass a certain quantifiable test and not with encouraging independent and creative thought this is what you get. It's my opinion that we as a society are hamstringing our children by stressing competency tests. It seems that schools are hell-bent on vocational and minimalist education; without the ability to rationally think through an argument and extrapolate its purpose and impact people are unable to really see the true impact of these policies.
Or perhaps its as simple as some not caring about this because they've never been harassed, arrested or under suspicion for anything. Out of sight, out of mind...
IE 5.2.2 on OS X 10.2.3 has a nifty little feature where you can HOLD DOWN the mouse button and get a nice long list in reverse chronological order of the pages you've visited.
One could always use the History feature too.
Get to work on something REALLY useful, like a perpetual motion machine. Jeez...
Yeah, dude, that's the Concord Naval Weapons storage area. Of COURSE it's high security - in the 80's when I lived in the Bay Area the rumor had it that tactical nukes were stored in those underground bunkers.
Anyway, that's not Port Chicago. Port Chicago is the PORT on the OTHER side of I-680. It was a major rail-sea link in WWII as it cut several hours off of travel to other ports such as Oakland. Not to mention there wasn't much out there 50 years ago.
Especially when you fire your in-country development staff and move most of it overseas to India, as Quark did earlier this year.
What is going to be vital is not just getting the damn app to work properly in OS X but to ensure that the scripting components and tie-in is flawless. Do you have any idea how much print production workflow is tied to this?
Basically this is an article about a publisher being stupid and wasting paper; probably not nearly as much paper as the company that publishes "Internet Explorer for Dummies," so if you want to harrass somebody, you'd be better off harassing them.
WTF? You think that John Wiley & Sons only publishes that ONE For Dummies book? Dude, get a CLUE! We also publish the Bible technical series, Visual Guides, Novell technicial guides, along with a TON of collegiate textbooks and "trade and professional" books.
Book publishing isn't about "wasting paper." It's about providing information in a printed form so that others may use it for entertainment or reference. I can definitely see some people needing IE for Dummies...
The way I see it, the rate of return for the IT $$$ has been reduced dramatically from the go-go-go times, which I define as 1996-1997 to 2001. The productivity gains just are not going to be as dramatic across the board. Sure, you may find in specific areas dramatic productivity gains, but not like we saw in the whole Win9x to NT/2000 migration.
I see a HUGE productivity gain ahead for Mac OS enterprise users, the few that are left. It is certainly one that I am curious about in my current position - just how much the migration to OS X will help the productivity of my department.
I think before any DMCA type stuff is added to any kind of media, the media producer needs to be held accountable for replacement. I've never seen this happen however as most of them simply tell you "Return this to your place of purchase"
So here's a scenario for you: You buy the latest NSync album. Fair enough. But you REALLY hate NSync, right? So you "scratch" the media to render it useless. You take it back to the store for a replacement. Becuase you hate media companies so much you repeat this process ad nauseum.
Lather, rinse, repeat. Soon no more media company... and no more NSync!
I'm on Time Warner Cable, and they prohibit servers. If they were to enforce that prohibition, would that mean their bandwidth usage would go down? I doubt it. How much e-mail does a normal, non-spamming personal e-mail server handle in a day? Come to think of it, the traffic isn't any more than I'd handle if I had to POP it all at once!
Well, a properly configured server probably wouldn't hit bandwidth usage too badly upstream, but let's not forget about the idiots who think they know how to run a server and improperly config it.
And or course, there's always the stealth business setup by registering a domain with a dynamic dns service and then running a webserver. One slashdot link and usage goes through the roof...
someone tries to circumvent copyright restrictions they get slapped down. This will be no different.
Why do you think the game manufacturers don't release these games/ROMs? Because there is still money to be made from them, no matter how old or tired they are. Hell, if they would just SELL them they could make a killing.
Clearly, you have to own the console game itself to be able to use the ROM. All other "methods" of obtaining them are usually illegal.
