  1. I gotta tell ya man on New Patent on TV Forces You to Watch Ads · · Score: 1

    My first thought when I read your post was,
    what the fuck is this guy watching that he see's that $ suit guy constantly. I've seen that- maybe twice, and yes- it is distinctive.. but I couldn't imagine my tv habits being such that I'd see that commercial often.

    then you identify that you have on, apparently most weekdays, five hour marathons of ST shows.

    I think the shows you are watching should be insulting to your intelligence.. to the degree in which you are watching them.

    Everything in moderation man....

    try watching more PBS

    P.S. You shouldn't be eating at BK anyway.

    One individual, buying a cd-key from a dell owner, no one will come after you- but the grander market here, the one that the GP post is referring to- is the large, corporate, lawyer controlled, and sometimes silly- business market.. where 1000 pcs on 1000 desks can get a licensing lawsuit going.. and if they try to purchase 1000 xp cd keys from dell linux users, that lawsuit is smoking depending on which court you live near.

    but your argument is flawed also.
    and I believe in the rights of adults, to do what they want, that does not interfere with others doing what they want- without consent
    (kinda libertarian viewpoint)

    I think adults should be able to 'beat' their meat to whatever they enjoy- if that is as far as it goes.
    I don't think children of a certain age (variable based on the individual, but I'm willing to go with the state definition's of age of consent) can consent to potentially harmful acts.

    my question to you- where are they (thos interested in kiddie porn) going to get whatever they look at? at some point, unless it's a cartoon- it had a source.. and there is no way it can then have a valid source.

    http://www.nj.com/business/ledger/index.ssf?/base/ business-3/1144385793100320.xml&coll=1

    The names and purchase information of smokers who bought cigarettes online are being relinquished by the Web-based purveyors, after prodding by the state Di vision of Taxation.

    The Taxation Division cited a 1949 federal law, the Jenkins Act, to obtain lists of New Jersey buy ers. The law requires remote sellers of cigarettes to provide names of buyers to state tax authorities, said Tom Vincz, a spokesman for the state Treasury Department.

    In the past year, several other states, including New York, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Oregon, also have used the Jenkins Act to crack down on residents who buy cigarettes over the Internet but don't pay state taxes.

    New York City announced in March that through a settlement with eSmokes.com, the company is surrendering 12,500 names of customers from 2000 to 2003, when a New York state ban on Internet cigarette sales took effect. It was the largest list of names obtained by the city.

    yep, and they aren't the AVERAGE xp user

    As for development tools... entire industries are based on the GNU toolchains. That's true just as much for Windows as it is anything else.

    the averageXP user never uses a DEVELOPMENT tool, and is highly unlikely to be able to name one with any degree of certainty

    "nobody uses OSS" truth happen. When in reality millions are using OSS just fine. I never said that, I said it was'nt typical as in, not the average.. millions on a planet of billions means it is still less than the majority, and therefore, not typical.
