If you buy a starrom, or 10, can you then legally set up a mame machine that plays 10 classic games and charge a dime per play?
That's an interesting question. If it were possible to do that, wouldn't it also be possible to setup an xbox, gamecube, or playstation and charge people to play it? I don't see why this would be illegal, but IANAL. It seems like the equivalent of renting the game for the length of your play.
I remember gettin GEOS for my Commodore 128, the thing was kickin. I mean, they were doing things that nobody else did. My friends are knockin down my door, for my new, commodore 64!
Seriously though, i had a version for my PC and it wasn't very good. Is this really a big deal?
Usually a movie is released at the peak of its series.
If what you are saying is true, then i feel like they should have released this movie about 5 seasons ago. Most people think The Simpsons has been on a slow but steady downhill path for a couple of years now.
I think the comment may be referring to the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center, which does appear to load things a bit slowly and does appear to be using ColdFusion for some things.
Yes, but can we really trust the Germans? I mean, do I even need to remind anyone how playful they've been in the past 100 years? I don't think so. I say we continue to distrust them for another 100 years.
The truth is plain to see, I love windows xp and it loves me!
That movie was the bomb. It had Fred Savage in it, he rawks. He needs to be more famous. Nintendo Power subscriptions were too expensive, parents had to buy them, they suck, I want more metroid, where is luigi, and toad? Toad was the bomb for a shroom. Do you think if you ate Toad you'd get some mad cool hallucinations?
When thinking about it. One could say that a popup add "accesses" your computer in some way
It's not that the popup is accessing your computer, your computer is accessing the popup. Your computer sends the request to the webpage with the popup and interprets it, you authorize it by loading that website with popups enabled. Therefore it isn't illegal. If you want to prevent them then use a browser that blocks the popups.
I want to be able to drive myself with my PDA, creating an infinite loop of me controlling me through my PDA controlling me through me controlling me through my PDA through controlling me through me controlling me through my PDA....
Please refer to the movie Equilibrium for how to load a gun without using your other hand... has something to do with attaching clips for the guns to your pants and waving your arm so that the clip goes right into the gun. Easy, right?

I think typically what is done is that licenses are obtained from the major sports organizations, like the NBA, NFL, and so on. These licenses allow them to use the names and likenesses of any players that are officially in the league that organization owns. I suspect that when players sign up for a league that they sign some manner of contract that allows the leagues to do this. I'm not sure how it works for free agents, but one could assume something similar might be done. Assuming FIFA has something like this, then EA would have already gone through this process.
Regardless, I don't see this as being a major issue. Even in the old days you could tell who was who. You can even tell who is who with the College sports games as well where they aren't allowed to use players names or likenesses.
They clearly weren't parodying Strawberry Shortcake
Isn't it possible that they were actually parodying both? That's the impression I got from the comic. They were making fun of both American McGee's game style and of Strawberry Shortcake. If this is the case then there is no way American Greetings would win a lawsuit unless Penny Arcade couldn't pay to represent themselves.
To compare the two is not only illogical, but dangerously misleading.
I agree, but that is not what he is doing. He is not comparing drug addicts to computer offenders. He is suggesting that like in the war on drugs we use a harm reduction strategy to combat computer intrusions. This means the amount of damage that can be done if someone breaks into a computer system is reduced. It's a good idea, but I doubt it is really a new one.
First off, we have gotten past our moon with our manless space exploration.
Secondly, just because we discover a signal coming from a planet 450 light years away doesn't mean we have to go there. The knowledge contained in that signal would be enough to warrant such cataloging. If that civilization is anything like ours, they might think to broadcast an "encyclopedia galactica" like Brian McConnell suggests in his book Beyond Contact.
There has been an ongoing discussion at fatwallet.com about some dell rebates for a Dimension 8250. It appears that Dell had 5 rebates up for the same computer through their EPP/FSS program (Employees and Education, Faculty groups). Dell later backed out of two of the rebates for most applicants stating that they were for "specific institutions only" even though that appeared nowhere on the rebate. Many people haven't gotten their other rebate checks. It seems to some that they are saying they mailed the checks when they really haven't hoping you won't call or write and request a reissue. The entire thing seems pretty sketchy. It's disapointing to see as respected a company as Dell treating their customers this way. Several customers have filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau or are trying to take their case to small claims court.
Here we go again. Slashdot editors should look into the submitted stories before posting them. Next time it'll be something like "Man born in Australia with the head of dog!"
Why doesn't slashdot do some sort of distributed posting system similar to the random moderator access. People who feel the story is legitimate will mod it up, etc. Once it reaches a certain level it gets posted to the site. Seems to make sense to me. That way CmdrTaco can have his job entirely reduced to moot.
Assuming that this would even be possible, why not just built nanobots that you could then inject into a person that would seek out and destroy any nanomaterials that the human had ingested, inhaled, etc. Imagine a nanobot seeking out and destroying asbestos in the lungs.
If you're worried about nanobots staying inside the body, then enable them to destroy themselves given a signal. You could even create symbiotic nanobots to destroy any other nanobots that enter your body. The possibilities seem endless when you use your imagination.
Well add one more to.NET because I've been using it for the past 4 months instead of C/C++ or Java.
Anytime a new technology is introduced there are always going to be more people using the old technology. That doesn't make the old technology better, nor does being new make the new technology better. Your point isn't valid considering how new.NET is and how long Java has been around. If it were then everyone would still be buying VHS tapes instead of DVDs just because it was the "standard" when DVDs were introduced.
That is too expensive per song, consider this:
The Clash - London Calling
19 tracks at $0.99 = $18.81 before any tax or cost of CD-R.
Amazon.com price: $9.99 with free shipping.

So, when are they going to release the BeOS version?
Forget BeOS, what about a GeOS version?!?!
