no its not your moron. DRM means your rights are restricted, you cant copy or even play your music on something you own because it wont LET you do it.
Encoding data does nothing to prevent you from doing anything but ILLEGALLY TRADING MUSIC. You can burn it copy it back it up play it on anything you want and nothing is restricted.... but go ahead and put that on Limewire which is what you really want to do with it by the obvious tone of your writing. Be the ultimate reason the rest of us are getting dicked over by giving the record companies a example.
You dont even have to be a Apple zealot to understand that your whole line of thinking is fundamentally flawed by the fact that in order for your rights to be restricted by having your email encoded in the track, you have to be breaking the fucking law since any law abiding person would not see it as a issue.
Myth TV is whats a missuse of data in their minds. They where getting flack from the networks about people using their data to make their own Tivo boxes which where then getting shows uploaded to the net.
The problem with this being, its not going to stop people in the least, so in the end all they did was piss off more people while solving nothing.
see point 4, that a special interest group was involved in the decision by their ratings boards.
Its not banned in the US though, it just wont be carried by any store that wont sell a AO game (despite the rating being a dumb broken rating to begin with, the difference between a M and AO rating is ONE FUCKING YEAR in age)
But the British banned it though they wont admit to it. What they effectively said was "we wont rate this" which in Britain means its banned since you cant sell anything that is not rated. There was some pressure on this as well, by a similar but like minded group to the one in the US, who wanted it banned not because of the content, but because of the controls.
Yep the British banned the game because it uses the Wiimote, and thus "accurately depicts killing someone"
actually there is a lot of evidence pointing at the British ban being the cause of the AO rating here, so the logic is not that flawed. For one thing, the game is coming from a company who knows the ratings board well, and thus knows what can and cant get pass the censors and tailored the game as such.
Secondly as the article pointed out, from everyone I know who has seen it, the game is much more toned down from the original in many ways, which got the M rating here despite being a interactive snuff film.
And third the ratings coming in when they did leads a lot of suspicion as to why, when filed at two different times, the game ended up getting its decisions handed down at almost the exact same time, with the British banning it despite it being submitted to them AFTER the US board got it.
Lastly, its a known fact that a special interest group was putting major pressure on both ratings boards to get it a AO ratings.
MacTopia still exists (though these days its just really about the MBU and Office) but your right, except for Age of Empires Microsoft pretty much shitted on the Mac Platform... case in point, buying Bungie and killing Halo
How would Mac users react if Internet Explorer was ported with the Windows theme?
Ask them, IE 5 WAS ported with the windows theme. It wasnt until Office X that the MBU started designing things more along the lines of the Mac ascetic but even then, you can tell its a windows program.
Full developer tools cost 2000 dollars for the Wii, same cost of a decent computer system.
Part of the whole homebrewing philosophy stems from the high cost of development of some of these systems (case in point PS3 dev box is 10,000 dollars)
But if you REALLY want to create some good games for the Wii, and maybe even sell them via the Virtual Console for 5-10 bucks, then 2k for a developer kit aint that bad at all.
Which is my point, the Space Shuttle could be configured to take down more people in an emergency, it had extra pull out seats that all that was needed was a adjustment in trajectory and it could bring down 4 extra people on top of its mission crew, more if spacelab was installed (which granted it hasn't been in years if not a decade now. The orion can only take down 6 people period, so god forbid a emergency arise while they are up there, there is no way unlike the shuttle they could divert and rescue the ISS crew if they had a full mission crew.
Your not paying 2,799.00 for the hard drive your paying it for the bigger screen so you have already failed your case since that runs just about right to all of the other 17 laptop manufacturers. Case in point, despite having the same size screen, the XPS M1710 you would need to buy to equal the MBP would have to be almost 3000 dollars, and you would STILL have a smaller HD to the MPB, just it would be a little bit faster, which for a laptop is not really that important.
For my MBP with the 7200 option I ended up paying less than 2000 with the educator discount.
The more I think we seriously need to consider "weeding out the population" of all the dumb shits too stupid to accept fact over a bunch of thousands of years dead men trying to make sense of our world.
I know it sounds harsh, but I am really tired or religious people. They have caused more pain and suffering in this world under the idea of uniting it than any scientific advancement has, including nuclear bombs.
But if they cant even fly down a EMU because of its weight... whats going to happen if god-forbid they need to emergency evac the ISS and the only thing left to leave on is a Orion? I realize there is a Soyuz, but say its damaged in the emergency, or say it happens at a point where they are switching out the lifeboat. Your telling me that this new spacecraft is going to be so poorly designed in relation to our assets as to be useless in the case of a emergency? Have we learned NOTHING in regards to planning for the worst?
Actually depending on how your city or town government is run, its far more likely to be directly ran by one person or a group of people than it isn't. City governments have much more power than people give them credit for if they are of the smaller type. Get to the size of Newark or NYC, or Chicago then yes no one person runs it, but a population of 10-15 thousand voters? Yeah one guy is probably giving the orders.
Oh we do, we do, thats why less than half of the voting population of America even DOES vote, and thats usually for the presidential elections. In a city of 10,000 voters last Mayoral election just shy of 1500 actually went out to vote. 15% of the population cared about the man who would DIRECTLY run our city... you think they cared about some Senator being sent to Washington?
Republican FCC Chairman Kevin Martin angrily retorted that he found it "hard to believe that the New York court would tell American families that 'sh*t' and 'f@ck' are fine to say on broadcast television during the hours when children are most likely to be in the audience
Yeah and I wonder how many times you have said shit and fuck in the presence of your children Mr. Chairman. If your like any other dad in America, Im SURE it was more than the one "utterance" which the FCC decided to reverse it's ruling on to help out Heir Bush's decency campaign.
while a Enix game, ActRaiser was released which is owned by SE now. Also none of the Dragon Warrior titles have been re-released on a system that is still currently supported (last re-release was on the Game Boy Color) so that leaves a good 5 NES titles open for the VC that would be guaranteed million sellers.
While they dont have plans as of yet (what with the 5 million FFXIII titles coming out, FFXI add-on, 2 FF:CC games, FFIV, and 2 Dragon Warrior games ot name just a few) Im sure they might be prepping something for the later half of 2007.
Having an interstate compact does not mean that the entity is free to infringe on your constitutional rights. That would be quite a loophole.
Last I looked, taking pictures was never protected by the constitution.
Secondly, its a private entity no matter what their website says. Its got the same legal status as Amtrak which are also considered private corporations. While they are not completely private like say Microsoft or NBC, they have the autoimmunity of such. They are better known as government-owned corporations and are set up with the public's needs in mind.
as the AC pointed out, the wiki pic is a picture OF the bridge not on it, taken from public land. The GWB and Battery Tunnel as well as all the crossings into NYC proper is part of the Port Authority of NY/NJ and thus considered private land for public use and thus not subject to laws pertaining to public lands.
Actually there is, they are not public sites but sites managed by the Port Authority of NY/NJ which makes them technically private property with public use (like a mall) They can have you kicked out and ultimately arrested for trespassing if you insist on continuing.
While they couldn't arrest you for taking photos of bridges, or tunnels, being in them changes the rules and they could very well do what they want.
The Battery Tunnel in NYC is clearly seen throughout in street view. Its been illegal since 9/11 to take any photos in or on any of the bridges and tunnels of NYC.

Yes but at least Apple coded it to assume that plugging in your new mouse, your not going to be trying to take over the US defense grid.

not using Java to make it work on OS X. and from what I have been able to gather, nope they (as in the dev teams) still wont work together.
reportedly, it is pretty close, but like VMWare limited in games that will be certified to run good on it.
While they dont have plans as of yet (what with the 5 million FFXIII titles coming out, FFXI add-on, 2 FF:CC games, FFIV, and 2 Dragon Warrior games ot name just a few) Im sure they might be prepping something for the later half of 2007.

They are better known as government-owned corporations and are set up with the public's needs in mind.
They receive no public funds, and are run by a board of directors, even though the board is appointed by the respective states (6 from each state)
