Ahh so kill em all and let God sort them out? Whats that you want to back up your games, well screw you because little Billy down the street is a theif so you probably are to...
When I said that its about them telling me what to do with my property??
Many people yelled that it was just an upgrande and M$ was not telling me what to do with **MY** hardware. Well bite me, I knew M$ would prove me right.
I dont own an X-box, I dont own a mod chip, but M$ continues with the attitude that you will use this the way we want you to use this, you will not dieveate at all from our buisness plan or we will label you a pirate and sue your sorry butt..
Ill be the first person here to bash the ACLU. But they are most times consistent, idiots for defending nambla.com, but consistent.
To me they are kida like PETA, I would really like to get behind them, but they always, and I mean always go and do something so stupid it makes me dizzy.
ACLU: Defend a site that instructs men on how to seduce little boys.
PETA: Give money to the ELF a know domestic terrorist organization
This situation exist because of poor voter turnout. Imagine if even 90% of the people in your congressional district voted, not only voted but educated themselves about the process, and who they are voting for.
If people did not vote for X because hes a Dem/ Repub/ Liber/ Green/ Life... Or and I swear I have head this 'because she is a woman'. I live in NY and sadly we have HRC for a senator. I knew someone who I was talking politics with who said it does not matter what HRC would do, shes a woman and we need more of those.
I vote every year, but not in every race. I am responsable enough to walk into the booth, and only vote for races I am familiar with..
This has less to do with 'evil corporations' than it does with an ignorent population. If 100% of people who could voted far more would be fixed than be elimination 'evil corporation'(tm)..
umm how does any of this conflict with what I said. I did not state that 1/2 needed to pass, and I did not state the means to change the constitution, but I did not incorrectly say anything..
Becuase a person or corporation can not take away an individules rights, period. My rights are God given and protected (supposedly) from (not by) the Government.
M$ is an easy case of a EULA and a products the world does not need, but what if I design a product that can save the life of say aids patients, but I put a EULA in it which says, and you shall always vote for the green party.
When you let one company or industry take away rights you open the door for them all to do it.
I really dont think tech people are the 'least voting segment of the population'. I think that in general young people are, some of them may be tech people, but its more non tech.
Checks and balances.
1) while the administratorn (President) can submit a Bill they can not Pass a bill into law, that is the job of Congress.
2) while congress can pass any bill they want the administration can veto it, thereby requireing 2/3 of congress to overcome the veto.
3) meanwhile our life term judges (appointed by the administration, and approved by congress, but who will outlast them all.. ok except strom thurman) can declare a law unconstitutional forcing congress to change the constitution to pass it.
so you have people of 2 & 6 year terms making laws, a person with a 4 year term (limited to 2 terms) with veto power, and life term judges making sure the law is constitutional. Its a really clean system, if more americans voted ( and did not just vote the party line ) it would actually work.
Dont worry most Americans dont know how a bill becomes law, were more into teaching our kids to tolerate each other in school than we are into teaching kids how to function in a republic. I know the simple stuff but your question is rather more complicated than it looks, so I could be wonrg, dont flame me.
If you have two laws on the books which conflict, it is up to the courts to make a legal determination that the law is Constitutional, and I would assume as they are the ones who interprit the law they would also state how this law would affect something like the DCMA.
I am sorry but when it comes to my fair-use rights of media I pay for vs Your ability to survive as an artist, Its not even a contest.
When you say that because of some people who bootleg we should all have our rights stripped away (and that is what your saying) I dismiss any problems you might have because if you dont give a damn about my rights why should I give a damn about you career?
I have to agree with this. If you need 5 disks youre putting way too much on the base install. Im not a person who thinks that you should be leet and start with a kernel floppy. But whay would you need five disks?
Give them the OS, the GUI, and a brower with a ton of links to other stuff..
So how does changing the KDE theme make it not KDE?? If its still KDE they should use the logo. Frankly I consider changing the Gnome foot print with a red hat as more rude than leaving the KDE logo..
I got news for you 2K pro is as easy to secure as XP, just because an XP distro is 'secure' out of the box does not mean flaws wont be found (as there are with any OS/APP). So you buy youself at most **AT MOST** a month or two until your network is jst as insecure.
The school is treating the symptoms and not the problems, a swith to Linux/OSX/BSD etc would not make a difference either (maybe a little) because the base problem is that people are not going through the effort to secure their system.
The school should be focusing on security at their end and let the young adults in the dorms be responsable for their own computers.
That piss porr attitude is what keeps Linux in the 0.5% range. I would lvoe to move my father off of windows and I can except he loves AOL, and for **HIM** its the right solution, maybe not for you. Point is this will make it easier for those of us with friends and fam who we would like off of windows to use something else..
Whoops my post got cut off..
ok anyway:
Lets face it Americans gave up the space race long ago, and its going to be too hard to start it back up (who gives up money from the pork to fund a renewd drive to the stars) with the zeal it will take to keep up with China and India who both have much more inertia in their space programs than we do.
If we want to do things right we need to start spending money, we will get it back indirectly the same was we got it back from Apollo, through innovations which will bennifit us all. We should focus on a Lunar station in the next 12 years, and not this international stuff (as seen with the russians and the ISS this is nothing but trouble), build an American Station there and let other nations pay for use if they like, but it will be our station (Kind of like the russians let us do with Mir).
But this would be expensive and John and Jane taxpayer would rather have their money spen on congressional pork which they would see small returns today instead of giving them up for larger gains tommorow.
What more probs, let point hubble at something, yea yea and this will get us huge amounts of PR.

So someone who disagrees with you on evolution is actually automatically a simple drone for the right in your opinion, and you are concerned **THEY** are not thinking for themselves??
As much as I hate to say this let get the 'cause heads' involved they have an attention span of about a month that should be long enough and if theyll get pepper spary in the eye for $GroupStudies they will definatly go to jail to piss off corporate america.
Your absolutly right, there is no way I will use limeware or the like with this functionallity. Hopefull a fiels sharing program which is more on the opensource model will come up (I am sure there has to already be one) to prominance.
Is this unlawful?? I dont know. Its in the EULA so you agree to it... But it is in the end an aweful buisness decision..

I hate to ell you this AC its none of your damn buisness if I want to run Linux or back up my games (and YES I BACK UP EVERYTHING I OWN!).

Just dont install it, download 1.3 and put that one on

Actually I prefer it without xine installed by default. I think RPM's make it easy enough for a n00b like me to install off of a download..
Umm I thought KDE was open Source (I could be wrong) so how does hacking it suck..
