Your post was for the most part correct although completely fucking mislead. What your asshat brain failed to understand is that the $10,000 per song is applied weather or not you uploaded the song.
WTF, Are you completely fucking retarded? Here's some basic math as it would work out in Mark Cuban's system:
$5 (Penalty per song) * 500 Downloads = $2,500
The maximum penalty PER DOWNLAODED SONG right now is $10,000 which makes NO FUCKING SENSE. God, you're the biggest fucking asshat RIAA defending numbnut I've ever met.
Why don't you go lick Hillary Rosen's feat or something?
Wow, you're a fucking numbnut. WSJ (The wall street Journal for all of you with uneducated fucktards) has made a killing with online subscriptions.
God the OP was a dumbass. I guess he couldn't accept the fact that he'll no longer be able to be a freeloading asshat cyber squater.
Haha, you just don't get it. Cards like this are about having a better E-Penis than everyone else - that's the reason why some people might like to buy it and that's why Firingsquad says.
Losers like you are probably just bitter because you can't afford it.
"But it's still about 8,000 light years away and there's still not enough known about it to have any accurate idea of when it's going to blow itself apart, either tommorrow or millions of years from now."... or 7,999 years ago!!
"...Using buggy software like IE.
Same user errors you get on _any_ platform."
Actually IE 6.0 is only available for windows. So these errors only affect windows.
The economy cannot afford any more ineffciency, that's what George Bush is gettin' at. Passing just one of these darned environmental regulation would take away people's motivation to work and mean the end of capatalism, our economy just wouldn't function anymore.
According the German article at spiegel.de he was "able to pull the chipcard out only after many tries" (Translation mine). This would be the only way to turn the car off because the normal systems were not functioning. Only after turning the car off was he able to slam very hard on the breaks and stop it. That makes sense because the car had power braking, so you'd have to press pretty hard to get the thing to stop.
Energy created in a nuclear power plant could be harnessed to electrolyze water, thereby providing hydrogen for fuel cell cars. That would cause much less pollution than Hydrocarbon based fuels, and make us independent of Opec.
Alternatively we could set up massive windfarms to provide the power to electrolyze water.
So, Fuel Cells are not the solution to everything, but they have many more possibilities then the internal combustion engines of today.
IMO, lower prices are a good thing for everybody. Cuise missles will become a product that is within reach of the average American, making the American dream just a bit easier to grasp.
Yup looks like the IHP-100 is just YAMP (yet another MP3 player.) iRiver has really stuck their foot in their mouth, gave hints about Ogg vorbis being supported, and in the end always failed on delivery. I'm happy that companies like Digital innovations are really intrested in what their customers think.
So here comes a German Chancelor whose only concern is to be relected. Quite frankly, this is so cynical. Not only agains the iraqi people but also against german citzens. As an iraqi, I'd really like to get the message:'Go get killed by some chemichal weapons and stay under the control of a brutal dictator so I can get relected'
This is what makes people turn away from Germany. The lack of tactfullness. Double standards (Yes, we critizise other people for giving weapons of Mass destruction to third world nations whenever it is usefull to us). Turning one or two blind eyes (Who gave Saddam chemichal weapons when he was the bulwark against Iran?). The will to break international law whenever it serves the purpose.
1,000 civilian deaths because of bombing and the war is of course terrible.
But compare this with the commenly cited statistic of 1-2 million deaths in Iraq because of the sanctions, and I think it is clear that Iraq will be better off after the war (and free).
Yes, sony is more expensive today. Like microsoft office I'm sure that xbox live will quickly become more expensive as the other options dissapear. Watch out sony, Microsoft has you in their crosshairs.
64bit processors are useless for the home users, exactly the way that any processor faster then 1ghz is useless for home users. Thats why Intel is having so many financial problems, people realized that they don't need anything faster than 1ghz and Intel isn't able to sell any of their new hyperthreading chips, people just don't need so much processing power for browsing the web and writing emails... Oh, wait a second.. Er. Ummm
>>Perhaps the reason you don't have any money to gamble on stocks is because you have shitty business sense. ; )
64-bit processors are absolutely unnecessary on the desktop at this time, and Intel knows it. Why the supposedly tech-savvy geek culture of Slashdot can't grapple this is beyond me.
The other games that LGP ported/produced earlier didn't really please me. But it looks like they have now moved up to so more interesting games, games which I would never have normally seen. I'm glad to see that they are concentrating on porting games that they can successfully sell, unlike Loki.
I'm also glad that they are staying away from big publishers. Porting a game for $20,000 and selling 50,000 copies is a much better bet than porting a game for $500,000 and selling 800,000 copies as I imagine loki wanted to.
>Many people who adopt non-"free" (as defined by FSF gospel) licenses do so after careful consideration of all the issues and deciding that non-"free" licenses more closely reflect the world *they* want to live in. Who the hell is the FSF to decide ?
Thats probably because the world they want to live in is one in which they are rich. No one is placing the GPL on you, if you prefer to use a liscence which gives one Company more rights over software then other Companies then it is your free choice. When you use the GPL every company has equal rights over your code.
And the GPL insures that it will always be free software, unlike BSD liscenced software which is essentially free software waiting to be caged in. Having companies making proprietary forks wastes software development time, you then get the same thing written two times, once proprietary and once open source. The GPL hopes to prevent this.
Autopackage will fix much of this, www.autompackage.com. Basically it will adapt itself to everydistro, you make one autopackage and it will install on every distro that someone has "mapped out".And it will also solve dependencies like debian. My explenation is not very good, if your really intersted then go to the website and read more.
Fresco (Berlin) will solve the Linux GUI problem. It will also offer much better speed then Xwindows because the GUI itself is fresco, no need to use something like GTK which then gets sent to X windows, fresco is one and the same. It will also offer faster networking performance because more information is stored on the server, and it uses COBRA. It will have the speed of Windows GDI with the ease of networking of Xwindows. www.fresco.org -Read more if you're really interested.
Wow, Nvidia is still in bussiness? I thought they were going to commit suicide like 3Dfx. I've actually been suspecting that since they released the Geforce2, but they keep comming out with better graphics cards. Its beginning to become weird. Oh well, I'm sure the Geforce4 was their last good card. Now they have been reduced to making bigger cards to get better, instead of making more efficient cards.
Similiar to what 3Dfx did after they made the Voodoo. They always released the same chipset, just with higher clockspeeds and more chips in general.
>I think between this and the four noisy fans I have >in my PC right now, my next one will not be bought >with gaming in mind. Maybe a tablet PC:)
What are you going to do with a tablet PC?! Even if its running Linux I still don't see the point in it, its just a Capable laptop that someone ripped the keyboard off of to save a few bucks on manufacturing. Thanks but no thanks, when I pay 2,000 dollars for a computer I expect it to come with a keyboard!
>For example: Linux 2.2.x was great; and zealots >claimed it could do no wrong.... until Linux 2.4 >came out. Zealots rushed out and upgraded, singing >the praises of 2.4 and decrying the shortcomings of >the 2.2 series.
Thats simply because 2.2 was the best Kernel in the world (regardless of the shortcomming of other OS software). Then when 2.4 came out 2.2 was the secound best kernel in the world.
Its kind of like when you bought your new 54" projection TV in 1985, you invited over your friends and showed off your television that could do no wrong. But in 2002 when you upgraded to HDTV the projection TV was out on the trash heap; Yes the best can get better!

Sounds like it's for real to me.
