A super geek friend of mine, was hacking another hair salon to steal their web page software gave me his take on the Sony DRM issue.
He is convinced that Sony does not like the RIAA. That Sony purposely made the root kit poorly implimented. That they followed the RIAA's DRM rules to the letter on purpose knowing they would get caught and sued. He even said that since the root kit was not being discovered, Sony sent an anonymous letter to the guy who found it telling him where to look.
Apple should copy the material used in other mp3 screens. My iRiver is 6 months old, and has 0 scratches not only on the screen, but on the case too. The screen looks like glass, but if I tap it, it sounds like plastic.
Here's why autorun is stupid.
You click an icon to run a game. It runs, and then asks you to put in the cd. Then it runs again. Usually performance becomes crap when that happens. Bad programming yes... but its hard to blame a programmer since Windows makes it hard as hell to actually tell what processes are running. MS trade secret was the idea I think. A simple TOP command or PS but ohhh no.
You could maybe just dig a trench for elephants, since they are too heavy to jump? Then fill it with ashes and put peas at the edge. When they stop to take a pea, kick then in the ashhole. Sorry.
PS From what I saw on my one trip to the Eiffel Tower, I bet Italians could give Americans a run for their money. And BTW, this is all just superficial bitching. Some of the nicest people I know are American. At my work, many Yankees drive across the border every day to work with us. They are beautiful people. Its easy to get your opinions from the media, or a governments policies, but its off the mark. You want to know a nice town... Fargo. Boy do they bend over backwards to give good service.
in Toronto/Montreal/Winnipeg/Vancouver, they all just stand around keeping away from other people. When the belts move, everyone stays still. Sometimes, people say "excuse me" and someone will move over and let them. There are no armed guards, and no one tries to steal your bag. When we drive, we signal first, then you are let in to the lane, and then you wave. I tried driving in Detroit. You had to be sneaky to change lanes. Signalling was only to indicate to the others to block you from changing lanes. LOL
You are allowed to cut branches over your yard in most places. Hiring a lawyer is not the answer. Should everyone with a neighbor with a tree hire a lawyer? No, just cut the branches. If the neighbor goes nuts, call the cops. No lawyers needed.
There are so many reasons for a Canadian not to visit the USA since their gov't went nuts. Its too bad, but now I visit Montreal, Vancouver and TO more.
"A large object which is capable of containing a smaller object must have a larger surface area than the smaller object." Umm, that is like saying that the fin side of a heatsink has the same area as the flat side. >:-(
The US feds would not have to twist anything. Just say what they want, and what are you gonna do about it? They've been doing it for 4 years now openly.
Hmmm, we have Wyse Cytrix clients at my office. People hate them because of how slow they perform. I tried one out, and I think if feels like a $50 computer.

After you get married, you will have more time for gaming.
car bra=more expensive then painting the front end of the car. plus it traps sand and vibrates to scratch the paint.

Rule number 1 from a Canadian: Don't judge Americans by their government. They are nice polite people actually... where I go.

iRiver's FM tuners are incredible... no static ever. Auto finds all stations and sets them.
Couldn't you fix it with nukes?
Micheal is too weak to stop sucking Bill's dork. Hear that Micheal? You are weak. Keep doing what you do.
Hear hear.
Wait for the greenhouse to get worse.

How long until the black market for Chinese non-DRM CPU's gets going?

ie) I blindly upgraded my OS not thinking whether or not it was ready for my stuff. Boo hoo.
I've noticed that my friends who had strict parents dropped out didn't go to university. ie) it might likely backfire.
