I should have said that we couldn't very well tell them that we don't want it if we don't even know that it exists. It was passed in record time. I didn't even hear about it until I read about it being used to secretly jail people.
On a side note, we are now a police state. To people who still think that we are anything else, where other than a police state can citizens be arrested with no formal charges, held in solitary confinement for no publicly available reason, denied legal representation, etc.?
Ninjai is AWESOME! If Broken Saints is even half as good, then I'll probably end up getting all of the episodes and sharing them with my friends. Unless, of course, they don't want people to serve them privately, in which case, I'll point my friends to their website.
Well, why not have the DRMd computer output the movie to a video out port (idealy, S-Video) and have the Linux box (or even Windows box) record the S-Video with a TV Tuner card? It seems pretty straightforward to me. S-Video even has sound, so you'd be getting the entire movie, not just the video.
There's probably a reason that this won't work such as "DRMd Windows won't output to a video port, stupid!". Please refrain from commenting on my idiocy and stick to whether it can be done or not.
Well, if Iraq is anything like the Democratic Republic of Congo, then we'll have their democraticaly elected leader assasinated and we will put someone we like in charge by rigging the next election. Then he'll screw things up worse than Sadam ever could. He'll sell all of Iraq's oil to pay for his personal army of mercenaries. He will use all of the foreign aid money we give him to fund that same army. Eventually, his own people will rise up in revolt and kill him.
You really don't know that much about the PATRIOT act, do you? It was passed on October 26th, 2001. Congresspeople weren't allowed to read the bill before voting on it. The text of the bill wasn't pbulished until the president signed it into law. We couldn't really tell our representatives that we don't want something if we have no idea what it is.
The only recourse with which we are left is the Judicial System. There is almost no way that we could get congress to repeal it, nor is there any likelyhood whatsoever of the President somehow cancelling it (perhaps with an executive order).
That's the best post I've seen in days!!! Such a wonderful parody!
I just have a nit to pick. Really, it is more with the original author than with you. Daemon actually means something closer to a guardian angel.
I still haven't figured out if Palay was serious or not. I know plenty of people who would write something like that and they would be totaly serious about the whole thing.
Disk Tools has saved me more times than I care to count. My PowerBook 5300 spontaneously stopped booting, and with Disk Tools, I was able to diagnose the problem very quickly. I still don't know what the root cause of the problem is, but I do know what keeps it from booting. I really wish that Apple would make a Disk Tools version of OSX. It just sits on a CD and lets you boot straight from that.
Gemcutting isn't really that hard. If you make a mistake, then you can always make the gem into smaller ones. All of the patterns that gemcutters use are metered to tenths of degrees, so there isn't really much possibility of mistake unless you start with the gem misaligned in the grip.
Be thankful that she didn't ask for a red diamond. There are only five known to exist and the Smithsonian owns four.
IIRC, at least two were donated anonymously. Talk about amazingly cool.
Also, Alexandrite is far more expensive carat for carat than diamond. Last time I chacked, it was at about $60,000 per carat for real ones with about a 75% color change.
The cable would disintegrate in the Earth's atmosphere. No more than about 20 miles of it would hit us. Therefore, base it in the ocean. That and the fact that international waters are, well, international would make the pacific ocean quite a good home for this project.
Really, if the cable fell, it would be more like what happened in Ringworld. Lots and lots of very thin razor wire.
It seemed clear to me when I read the/. posting that they were saying that the Mac version was no longer designed for MacOS 9. Instead, it is OSX native.
My USB 802.11b client bluescreens my Windows xp Pro box. I have updated the drivers and all sorts of stuff, but nothing helps. At least Windows hasn't called that part of the driver in 11 days.
That's a really good point, but in our backwards legal system, you probably only get to point to cases like that as precendents when you are a large corporation.
Well, technically, it IS organized crime. They are organized and they are committing a crime.
Now, I agree that that phrase has much more meaning than the simple words, but if you go back to the original meaning, then they ARE doing organized crime.
Of course, I don't believe that the students are guilty of any more than the inventors of TCP/IP, but that quote is correct.
If the students win, they should sue the RIAA for slander. They shouldn't have any problem at all winning in a fair trial, but with our backwards legal system, they will probably be sent to a federal penitentiary for two decades per song that was swapped using their technology.
That actually sounds like a good way to make some quick money! Make some "content", distribute it legitimately for a while and then watch for any copies of it on KaZaA or similar programs. Then sue the owners of the MP3 patents for facilitating piracy!
Sarcasm: OFF
Perhaps that would show the world just how stupid these lawsuits are.
There is no Government imposed tax on Chamomile or Japanese Green that is inflicted on you if you like that tea.
See, the Americans liked music. The Recording Industry Association of America needed increased revenues to pay for the defense of their monopoly, so they said "lets jack up the price of music and crush independent labels by buying all of the radio stations." A lot of Americans started making their own music. Some downloaded music and some sued the RIAA for price fixing. They didn't FORCE anyone to buy anything.
I don't want to buy tea, so I don't buy tea. It's pretty easy to do.
Well, I really don't see how the RIAA is any less wrong than Britain was.
Our constitution protects us from unreasonable search and siezure. Unless they somehow convince a judge that it is necesary to search and seize computers and data, then they have no legal leg to stand on. If all of the file sharing is encrypted, then the RIAA can't possibly know about it without breaking the law themselves and rendering the evidence inadmissable in any court of law. If they did that, then they would lose. It takes much more than eye witnesses to establish guilt "beyond any shadow of a doubt". Any lawyer could get you out of that by saying that it is simply one person's word against another's.
I would mod you up, but alas, I have no mod points.
Your technique would be a lot more applicable if the article actually talked about women in any way other than the third-person plural. As it is, the best one I came up with is:
I'd like to control a third of HIS firm stock, if you get my drift!

No, no, no! If you want people do download it, you have to name it something like Naughty_(coeds|nurses|whatever)_hot_and_wet_4_U.pd f.

Hmm. WebSphere, eh? Will that speed up the Internet?
Or if there happens to be a syzygy outside.

ARGH! Attack of the bad math! I should have checked my numbers. Stupid me.
Thanks for pointing that out.
I do think that you got what I was saying, though. If you throw enough ammo at a plane in range, it will be torn to pieces.
Really? I did not know that. That's interesting.

Unless you consider what the government does. Or what Americans are doing.

No, I am not a homosexual.
She was not the first to see a DNA molecule. In fact, no one has seen a DNA molecule. It is too thin to be seen.
