The ex Strolling Bones member changed his name to Bill Wyman two years after the journalist was born.
Everything you say is true. So? Welcome to America, where the dumber you are, the more you can get in court.
I had a reason for starting this. Um..., oh, yes, here it is.
Apple developed a programming language called Dylan a few years back. The eventually dropped their R&D project on it, but they were at one time threatened by Bob Dylan because the were using *his* name for the language.
I thought they should have just changed the language name to Zimmerman to make him shut up...
Here is a stunning prediction. Somebody will come up with a good name for the technology and everybody will want to use it.
Just for grins, count the number of "death rays" you have around you right now. Perhaps you know them as "lasers". Remember to check you local CD and DVD players.
my gut feeling says to stay out of the guinea pigs it is all tried upon
I agree. I always try to stay outside of guinea pigs. But then I don't really fit into them:-(
when the cellular generation people start having grandkids!
I'm feeling feisty today. You do realize that you shouldn't have your own grandkids, right? Most places call that incest and it plays havoc with the gene pool. Stick with the guinea pigs.
I know the Anonymous Coward who posted this thinks it is all just a joke, but what part of this is wrong?!
I've seen Enemy of the State. It was indeed a documentary. I know this because it is the only movie to show how satellites are able to hover over somebody to watch them instead of following the fictional "orbital path" thingie.
OK, I'll admit, I don't think the first paragraph about the 4 week cycles for the moon is a bit off. The real reason is to mask the fact that the werewolves are really aliens that hibernate for about 22 days at a time.
After all, buying a used CD is an unlicensed activity.
Hmm. I knew the record industry hates resales because they don't get a piece of the action.
Why did I suddenly get a chill at the thought of having to sign a 3 page EULA when I buy a piece of music in a store? I'm suddenly feeling very paranoid.
Actually this law was passed a few years ago. It was an attempt to stop frivolous lawsuits.
The big problem is that it takes tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to take a full case through the legal system in America. And when you finally get through the system, it can really be a roll of the dice who wins. The judge might be incompetant, or one side could be golf buddies with the judge. (This happens frequently.)
So even if you win, the other side has to pay your costs. What if they don't? You have to sue them. Then you start all over.
The United States started with a Judicial system and has ended with a Legal system instead.
The Muslim "Convert or Die!" world?
The African "Kill everybody not in our tribe!" world?
The Environmentalist "Do what we want or we will burn down your house!" world?
I'll bet WindowManager has taken quite a bit more time than you think. I've been up for 7 days, and WindowManager has used 1:57:28. Count the colons. Days:Minutes:Seconds.hundreddths.
Note that yours probably isn't showing hundredths either.
I see a major market for Avatar coding using this. I think I'm going to specialize in model secondary sexual characteristics of American women.
Looking for models now.

You mean you can make a gun to shoot out spent cell phone casings?

So my WindowManager is at 1 hour, 57 Minutes and change for CPU time in 7 days.
