OH NO! Your bottle of absolute sig has been overturned by bill gates! (everyone here hats him right) I swear it was him and not me, I wasn't trying to drink it, honest!
Now its all over the floor and the cats into it. Great. Thats the last thing i need right now, the cat drunk, he'll be up all night talking about this and that and stumbling after mice into walls makeing dents. Hopefully he won't miss the litter box THIS time!... PARKLIFE! *sound of bell*
Now see how i keep my bottle capped for safty. its in my sig, i hope it works out, it wouldn't let me post it here because of to many junk charaters, hopefully it'll look right....
(also i think i've had to much absolute and red bull tonight...)
gmail FS not google FS, and the number of people who actauly use that will be SOOOO low it won't relaly effect google in anyway. Anyone who has the knowhow to run it will probaly also see how its fairly useless. might be good for backing up 1GB of data, but i dont' think GOOGLE will really mind if all of 10,000 users store 1gb of data, they are more then prepared for that i bet.
1GB is alot in terms of mail, but in music and video it isn't really that much. AND the RW speed would be horrid so alls you could use it for is backup.
correction, it is only free if you dont' make any money, otherwise you have to pay MSP... something like 50$ every month for me and i make almost no money...
Thou i have yet to pay it in the last 5 months because i have to get them to correct a few thigns and i keep forgetting to do it, wonder if they charge intrest?
also we dont' have the BEST heathcare system, everyone is covered yes, id you can't pay you still get treated, but waiting lists are long, level of care isn't all that great. a diffrent system would work better (private hospitals with strict regs, pubic insurance, same as we have no except how the hospitals are run and paid would be diffrent)
I do belive it depends on where in the goverment your working and what goverment your working for.
And at least private unions are held in check unlike public unions. Here in BC a prime example of what happened:
housekeeper staff at hospitals were getting paid ~30$ an hour to clean floors and such. The union had held the goverment hostage by shutting down hospitals untill the goverment made a political choice to pay them mroe not an economic one.
at about the physio therapist was getting paid ~35 an hour.
a year or so ago the goverment came in and privitaized the housekeeper staff and now the same employe makes ~15$ an hour i belive. the same as those anywhere else employed by a private industry.
so now witch is cheaper, and makes more sense?
the times when you want goverment doing it is when you don't have an existing framework and companies in the private sector compeating for contracts, or a currupt contract selectin process witch doesn't hold anyone responsible for the final choice. Because if you dont' have multile companies who can bid you dont' have free market econmics come into play.
the law, by defnintion does not place P2P, copyright infringment, under theft. If it was considered theft by the goverment it would be a criminal act and the police would be arresting people.
simple downloading and uploading is a civil offence that comes with fines. unless you do large scale copying and selling for profit (the REAL criminals), you won't go to jail.
calling it theft is what you and other creaters and the RIAA call it to make it seem like a utterly bad evil thing, and sure, your mad because you precive lost profits, but in reality you can not call it theft because you did not lose anything tangible, just the "possibility of profit", witch is then covered in the fines imposed for copyright infringement.
So therefor, theft, stealing it is not.
yea, most people don't know about or care about the RIAA, but they do know about and care about prices, track selection, and quality of music/
honestly, most people i know would buy music if it wasn't so god damned expensive, and they had money (poor students), i mean how can a CD at 15-20$ (CND) possibly be considered a good deal when a DVD is 15-25? Or you could go get a older computer game for 20$?
the fact is things are being copied whoalsale because to many people music overall is overpriced, many movies suck and again are not worth the money, and video games are totaly over priced, 70$ for a new release. Not everyone is rich or well off. Students and kids dont' have the money to buy what theyw ant so they buy what they really like and can afford and download the rest, buying more when they have $$.
Now yes, its against the copyright laws and prehapes not even morally right, but how come sooo many poeple use it and feel justified? maybe because they feel they have been ripped off and are sick of it?
buy a CD and dont' like it? well you can't return it! well that is unless you yell and shout at them that it doesn't work bceause of some new fangled copyprotection, and even then not always.
but if the current trends continue what happens when the majority of citizens use p2p and want to get rid of copyright? Or at least make it so copyright no longer applies when giveing away thigns for free, ie uploading and downloading?
And no your not a cartel, the RIAA and MPAA are thou, they dont' make the content they represent the peopel who distribute the content, those who are most at danger of loseing everything.
As a content creater no matter what happenes, poeple will still want your content. But distrubiters dont' have that, most content creaters and consumers would love to cut out the middle man i'd think and directly transact their biz, cheaply. more money for people like you, less marking up for consumers.
And you know what, even after ALLL this talk about P2P, "theft" every god damned industry out there, RIAA, MPAA, sony, microsoft, game creaters, are MAKEING A PROFIT! So why the fuck are they all up in arms about this?? so they can make a few more billion?? doubful.
And i guess thats another reason why people download, they aren't rich, adn they see these companies turning massive profit, and go, well, wtf should i give them even more money to try and remove my freedoms?
and yea, i'm done my rant. time to go find some food and wake up.
Yes you did explain why, and i said something about explaining it doesn't change the fact you need to do it.
and if NTFS is so fine and dandy, just after you explained why linux doesn't need to be rebooted and windows does, why is NTFS like ETX2/3 if it has to be rebooted?
i mean why doesn't windows just do the same thing unix does and not reboot if NTFS is like EXT2/3?
That and it was also devloped for the x-box in mind, witch really ruines the PC version alot. I hate it when people keep predicting the death of PC gameing because "PC games can be copied", so can x-box games..
PC games CAN be ALOT better, and many are, but when you try to make something for the x-box and PC in mind you just screw it all up. make it for PC first and then dumb it down for the console version.
well i'll put forth they probally accounted for the inpact only.
but how well could they or anyone have know what would really happen if a 707, 767 or other aircraft of that sized did hit a skyscraper? computer modles can onlt go so far
now they do and i'm sure now if they built anything it would truely beable to hold up after the hit.

nm, i guessed and it worked, yay lol
well, that didn't work, would someone kindly inform me how to do multiline .sigs so i don't embarrass myself like that agian lol

5) get rid of HMOs and private insurance and create public insurance so everyones covered but the hospitals are still private?
correction, it is only free if you dont' make any money, otherwise you have to pay MSP... something like 50$ every month for me and i make almost no money...
Thou i have yet to pay it in the last 5 months because i have to get them to correct a few thigns and i keep forgetting to do it, wonder if they charge intrest?

and they don't ship them anymore:P
2.4 isn't to old, and you do know they still update 2.4 with security patches....
from http://www.kernel.org/
The latest 2.4 version of the Linux kernel is: 2.4.27 2004-08-07 23:28 UTC
well, that doesn't seem so outofdate and unworked on. and they just recently moved 2.6 to stable status.
And its not to often you need to patch the kernal.
your closets don't have a power outlet in them?!?!
daaaaamn, all mine have power/network and cable connectoins!! And bender's closet is the same way, just bigger
thats all fine and dandy, but doesnt' change the fact winodws still needs to be rebooted:)
And says windows is useing an outdated not so good filesystem.
They would only arrest you if you weren't powerfull enough to get away with whatever youw anted...
lol, i kinda hate it when NPCs are made "invulnable" so you can't mess up the storyline.
That and it was also devloped for the x-box in mind, witch really ruines the PC version alot. I hate it when people keep predicting the death of PC gameing because "PC games can be copied", so can x-box games..
PC games CAN be ALOT better, and many are, but when you try to make something for the x-box and PC in mind you just screw it all up. make it for PC first and then dumb it down for the console version.
yea right. so how did so amny thigns get invented and built before patents?
non process patents stifle inovations, patents were supposed to be applied to a process, not a general idea.
and how can you patent DNA? i mean i'm made up of DNA so isn't that DNA mine? and any geans in it?
they changed penny weights over the years, newer pennies weight less, you;d have to take a sample of 100 and get the mean n use that.
because that way when they come for blood they go after the puppet and not the puppet master?
1990 is when the first proposlas for HTMl came about, and first browser was 1991-1992, firt popular one 1993 so close.
wasn't really popular untill 93 or 94.
but your right, he did say WWW not internet, my mistake
umm 14 years ago i was 6 and my dad was running the first ISP in westren canada...
theres been a internet seince 1980.
yes, like thoes in power who are getting paid by the RIAA are goign to change the law to favor what the people want not what the RIAA wants....
i'm sorry no, writeing to a congressman will do nothing, they dont' fear letters. they fear not getting money from big companies.
Only way th get the law changed is for everyone to do it.
and that leads into how current US goverment is fucked, but thats a story for another time.
linux is copyrighted and its that copyright clause that forces poeple to release any new source code, BSD has no copyright.
And i agree, copyrights and IP are a bad idea gone really bad, but that doesn't change the fact linux is copyrighted:P
better then haveing murder/fraud/some serious REAL crime as a hobby...
well i'll put forth they probally accounted for the inpact only.
but how well could they or anyone have know what would really happen if a 707, 767 or other aircraft of that sized did hit a skyscraper? computer modles can onlt go so far
now they do and i'm sure now if they built anything it would truely beable to hold up after the hit.
