Maybe now someone will finally download (or, dare I say, contribute?) to my sourceforge project. It's an Open Source nuclear submarine guidance system forked from an early beta of GAIM.
Next up, Vista, California (San Diego County) plans to file suit. According to a local city official, "This is the biggest thing since we beat Poway in high school football. And there won't be any budget shortfalls for years now."
Next up will be an attempt to have Microsoft move their world headquarters to Southern California.
we're sick of paying for a whole CD to get the one good track on it that they never release as a single!
So how do we know about that good track, if it was never released as a single?
Usually to me it was the other way around. Heard a great single, and figured anyone who could do something that nice could probably have lightening strike twice. The older I got, the less it happened.
This is like Microsoft huffing and puffing about its 240 Linux patents. They're full of shit here too, not being able to point out where the guy violated the license agreement, or how he used secret, non-publicly available information. They're like the RIAA. They don't have a case, and don't know when to shut up!
I'm pretty certain 93% of all my stuff that isn't food comes from China.
And considering what China shipped us recently to make pet food out of (at least, I hope they intended it for pet food only), this is something to be thankful for.
I call bullshit on this. It's not the same, and only liars and trolls will try to maintain otherwise. Nothing material has been stolen. No CD's taken from stores. Nothing that cost money to manufacture is taken or missing. No selling of counterfeits in the circumstances of this list. No stolen profits.
Even an immaterial sale is not proven stolen. That you would have bought this song at retail if you hadn't downloaded it first. That's another lie of the industry.
This article cum list first came out days ago, and shows the struggle to come up with 10 even vaguely related statements on the subject. Dave Letterman does better with most of his Top 10 lists than this mish-mash manages.
Goes really to show that there aren't very many good arguments against file sharing, that that there is likely a digital freedom mole in the RIAA. Someone should have been fired over this pathetic attempt to justify their existence.
yeah, there was a bunch of naysayer fucktards just like you saying the same thing of human flight about 150 years ago.
You know, I have yet to see human flight. Airplane flight, sure, but never human flight on any trajectory except a long curve into a hard landing. YMMV.
I don't expect to see a Star Trek-style "Transporter" within my lifetime, or ever afterwards. Such a device would either involved creating something from nothing at the receiving end, or sending down so much matter in the form of energy that it would make Global Warming look like a tiny candle in comparison each time it was performed. For the article to even imply otherwise is complete garbage!
This would seem to say that I can take waste heat from my A/C heat-exchangers making them more efficient, and create electricity to drive said system and fans in the process. Given that it's about 100 degrees outside at this moment, this would be sweet!
The AK-74 was a flash in the pan. Kalashnikov himself warned his superiors of trying to copy NATO with a varmint round like 5.45x39
Then there was a model something-94 prototype that was a dual-stroke sort of weapon that got off the first 2 rounds very rapidly with very little disruption of the shooter's aim. Don't remember the exact details, but American Rifleman covered it several years ago. It seemed at that time they were still proposing 5.45mm rounds for their military.
Actually, the ideal assault rifle round IMHO is the British.280 that they successfully prototyped, before the USA shoved the T43/M14 and AR15/M16 down their throats.
own a Saiga-12, a 12-gauge semi-auto Kalashnikov shotgun manufactured by Ishmash in Izhevsk. It's the fastest, most reliable semi-auto shotgun on God's gray Earth
I've heard of those, but never from someone who actually owned one. That good, huh?
What is their real goal here? The AK-47 has been considered an obsolete arm by the Russians ever since they introduced the AK-M and AK-74, which are direct design descendants.
It's like Microsoft recently extending Windows Genuine Advantage back to Office 2000. This is 3 generations back in office software, but now they're refusing to validate working copies that have run for years. And it's not like they're selling new licenses for O2K. Do they really think this is going to cause a mass migration to Office 2007 on terribly old hardware by today's standards?

How is this different than holding a fluorescent light tube (60W) under the high tension lines -- except that they're more than 2m away?
What happens when it crosses the International Dateline?
Talk about an arrangement of words that don't mean cr@p in the real world.
Navy: Yeah we thought about it. Considered it even. Then went back to what we've been doing all along. Only terrorists use FOSS. Microsoft told us so.
Next up will be an attempt to have Microsoft move their world headquarters to Southern California.
Apple screws over their own low-end users once again. Why is this news?

And the neighbor on the other side of you, no doubt, only watches the parts where they cuddle together after intercourse.
Media Sentry claims they run KaZaA like anyone else would, and therefore find files like anyone else would.
If so, the Media Sentry computer performing this investigation is an ad-ware/spyware/crap-ware ridden piece of junk that you can't trust for a moment.
Well, there's always: 45 5F E1 04 22 CA 29 C4 93 3F 95 05 2B 79 2A B2

I'd call that Inconvenient Insight #1.
Five (now four) entertainment corporations have STOLEN the public domain in the USA by infinitely extending the copyright period.
Goes really to show that there aren't very many good arguments against file sharing, that that there is likely a digital freedom mole in the RIAA. Someone should have been fired over this pathetic attempt to justify their existence.
Can you assemble a grid of them into a coffee table?
You know, I have yet to see human flight. Airplane flight, sure, but never human flight on any trajectory except a long curve into a hard landing. YMMV.
Do you know how much hot water I use on days like this? Almost none!
P Of course, I'd love to be proven wrong.
Shortly to be followed by your first modding down into oblivion, no doubt.

What is selling out providing, except to bolster Microsoft's position that they must have something, else nobody would be dealing with them?
