Canadians aren't particularly worried about American invasion, 1 we're increadibly useful to you. This is something Americans have never figured out, if you are useful and helpful people won't want to attack you. They won't smash planes through your economic infrastucture, burn your flag, attack your embassies and military bases.
Two, didn't you learn anything from the German campaign into Russia... it's cold up here:P
I have had INCREADIBLE success wearing the copyleft shirts.
Don't be afraid to nerd out a bit but keep it in moderation, women like men who are into politics especially if they don't already have an oppinion (especially a contrary one) since most haven't heard of DRM or IP they'll listen to you complain for a while and think you're a friggin genius about it.
Picking up girls the copyleft way, can't find the shirts I have 2 of the DECSS crossed out and the green one which says my shirt is illegal, girls love that:P
I'm a huge fan of unionizing in many areas but this doesn't seem like one of them.
The young artists releasing their first game from their basement and moving on to become their own boss seems much more plausible.
Trying to start a game company becomes much more difficult when you have to hire unionized labour instead of going directly online and searching for people with common interest.
Once you get artists moving from title to title non-stop with no care about the product yea you'll need unions and publishers but I'd rather not see the "industry" go that direction.
Because it's digital rather than analogue and therefore takes up a tiny amount of spectrum while still being able to use that spectrum for other applications?
This is the same RIAA arguement from before in a diffrent context.
Some people like to share we should encorage that... The best possible solution is for the router to limit bandwidth to outside connections (length of use = more bandwidth? First 2 users connected get most bandwidth?)
Even windows doesn't have sharing on by default... Allowing users to sit behind your firewall isn't a huge deal, there are tonnes of users sharing their windows dir on Kazaa or whatever if someone wanted to be malicious they should.
There is some importance in making life better for other people, if you don't when you go on a camping trip people around you will be weighing how hungry bears are against the $ in your wallet.
Replying to my own post (Yuck!) But notice IE7 comes out when major news outlets start commenting on new security holes targetting Firefox?
Looks like Advertisers and hacksters have started targetting Firefox, when it was below 5% usage it was no threat but faced no security threats, now it will do both for a time.
I wish it had gotten to 30% then we could see if the security of open source could stand against closed source.
As an AMD shareholder and fanboy I hate to say it but it's our right and duty to rage on them over this.
Slashdotters and hardware site readers are the guerrilla marketers of the computer industry.
I do say we wait until they ship a system before we get up in arms but if they HAD to fudge it and if they spread lies they are faster, well then they'd be lies and we should go for the jugular.
But I am still trying to imagine them in a lab slapping a refrence system together.
Custom power supply, etc.
I'm sure the power pull will be ok, I guess I'm just a fanboy rooting for my team but I think their fudging remains to be seen.
Nvidia 5800 fudging was ugly but if the 9700 had hit while the GeForce 3 was still shipping we would all have been screaming fudging murder.
Pentium M is a unique and badass architechture, but it lends itself to benchmark fudging too, for example most of those systems clock down when not plugged directly into a wall and lower screen lumens.
So you get the gaming benchmarks of a 2 gighz and the battery life of a 650mhz
I want you to pay me for your use of "the"... and "?". They are both mine and "I want you to respect [my] wishes and respect [my] rights."
Or I'll sue you...
Bitch.
Feels good doesn't it!
Now If I was to tell you it would cost you $1000 each time you'd understand how people in third world countries feel about software patents and western media!(Cambodians I've talked to LOVE the idea of $40 DVD's it makes their WHOLE WEEK!
Of course you could go without "the" and "?" and still acheive a happy functional life, starting to understand?

Canadians are pretty big on sharing, we might have done it the badway.
:P
Our government is really regretting teaching us sharing was good in kindergarten

Bought a Video Game recently?
Windows?
Any other commercial software?
All nicely copy protected...
You can't avoid it but you can stop the spread and fight back ANY way you can.
Better lawyers than the EFF? Don't make me laugh.
Bill is like the Linux Dev's He has a computer at home running his software which he's probably tweaked hell out of.
And you know what I bet it never has ANY problems!
So if all you need is specialty hardware and a round the clock tech staff of a hundred thousand programers why can't we all do it?
It's probably difficult for him to understand what the average user has to deal with EVERY TIME THEY BOOT.
Needs to connect with users...
Worship the icon you techno pagans!

Are you and the mods new here or something?
2 computers man... it's like moving from weed to crack.

...ninjas!
It's not even a frigging contender until modchips and ps3 HDs come out...
/me cries.
Jebus man what are you gonna do stick your ps3 disk in your computer?
Your music player? Madness Insanity...
I miss cds
I don't buy them at that price because I can buy other entertainment equal in value for half the cost.
:(
I agreed with you up until this, at this point it turns into a lie.
A good choice of game gives the best return on investment...
Just the anticipation should show you something, do you anticipate reading a really good book with baited breath? Most people don't
But when you buy a game warm expectation creeps over you... until you put it in the drive and get hit with DRM, and then you realize it's DiKatana
But you know The Anticipation.
Shouldn't the smallest possible particle have infinite density and therefore be a black hole?
Not funny read sig. :(

Browser wars are funny
Alternatively delete all the plugins in the pdf folder. Or hold shift when it starts. I'm sorry that shit needs to go!

2 cents.

Firefox is done.
We had 5 years of Microsoft laziness to inovate and take over and we blew it. We suck.
I will still use Opera, and I guess we can wait for security holes again... but they stole our tabbed browsing. It's all over people.
Take Number of pirates (broadest Sense)/ Number of Gamers (narrowest sense).
Have you EVER downloaded a rom or shared a save game with a friend? Ever borrowed a game from a friend? Or bought a Used copy?
DIE YOU AA BASTARDS!
Yes homophobia endearing. Hahaha.

I really hate you people.
Thank you for consuming my HD with source code I will never open. Hosting it online would be an EVIL BAD THING TO DO.
Once again thank you... my Linux Boxs' 5 gig HD praises you every day.
