    Well.. Just hold on for a minute.

    I am sure that everyone here remembers at lest one game that force him or her^H^H^H^H^H^H to upgrade his computer.

    I remember Ultima 7 made me move to the 386 age, Wing Commander 3, a whopping 8MBs of memory.

    Impossibiltiy is a defense to the actaul crime, but not to an attempt of the crime.

    In NY it is. It is called sale of an imitation controlled substance.

  4. Re:Evidence? on UK Has First Verdict in P2P Case · · Score: 0
    Well if you want to get technical, this is not quite true (by NY laws).

    Actually you would go down for Attempted Sell of Imitation Controlled Substance, if powered cocaine, Probably PL110/220.39 (C Felony.) You can't be charged with the actual crime if it was impossible for you to complete it. (Here, because there were no drugs, you could never actually sell drugs.)

    However, there problem is that you could almost never prove that the defendant thought that the drugs were beat drugs, because he will just say later that he knew they were fake. So normally all you can ever get the guy on is that Sale of ICS.

  5. Source please? on 35% Of Parents Game · · Score: 0

    I just find this number abnormally high. I know my parents don't game, how about yours? Does it just refer to only people that have young children, because I know that your grandfather is not playing a leet game of Dance Dance Rrevolution.

  6. Re:Good idea... but wrong building on Smart Elevators Coming to Seattle · · Score: 0

    In buildings with 40-60+ stories, elevators are already divided between banks of floors. I think technology like this is designed especially for this situation.

  7. Re:Growing concern? on Fakes, Coming to a Store Near You · · Score: 0

    Your argument at the end doesn't make any sense. If something truly is a '100% mirror quality' fake, then what does it matter if it is a Louis Vuitton handbag or a GE heart monitoring machine. It is the same thing. I understand that a doctor might feel better that it is GE and not Chang's heart monitoring machine, but if it truly is the same thing, it wouldn't matter.

    TV Execs don't care about you because they know that you are going to fast forward through the commercials.

    Do you think that our own technology may have done this? I know i have not watchedd an enterprise show live in months, I just get it from bitorrent and then watch it later.

    I love how on this site that you can make an analogy with DeCSS and automobiles and be modded to +5, Insightful, but if you make a comparison between theft and copyright infringement, it is an instant -1, Troll.

    Have you never hear the old tale about if you charge someone $5 for a puppy instead of giving it to them they will treat it better.

    There is just something about spending money on something that makes people act better. While $20 is more than a nominal charge, it will definitely make people be more careful with their disconnects and whatever else.

  15. Not all banks charge these fees on History of the Automatic Teller · · Score: 0
    I use compass bank from Birmingham, AL for all of my ATM transactions.

    Not only do they not charge you a fee for using other ATMs, they will actaully refund other ATM fees! All I have to do is send in a copy of my statement with each of the atm charges highlighted.

    But isn't that about how we watch movies already?

    We see the shareware version of the movie, the trailer. If we like the trailer, we plop down $10 to buy the full version. It seems like it is already there.

    Pretty much the whole %$# city. Yea, I works OK in Georgetown and downtown, but get anywhere out of those main areas and you get 2 to zero bars almost everywhere.

    T-Mobile is also one of the few carriers that DOESN'T have repeaters in the metro (subway). It reall sucks to have to sit there with a dead phone waiting on the train while everyone else can just yap away...

    What kind of crazy school do you go to? Most classes i know of are given 1 unit for each hour of class time. A normal 3-hour class == 3 credits/units. Who has 12 hour/week classes outside of medical school and summer term?

    Yes, but there are plenty of strict liability offenses as well where no intent is required, such as speeding and statutory rape. That state's child porno laws may be the same.
