here (BC canada) speeding is a civil matter to unless your are driveing with excessive speed (really really fast) in witch case they can do a whoal lot more.
Everyone speeds to some degree, its a fact of life.
my god, its people like you who just DON"T GET IT! And piss me off. Why oh Why are so many poeple so stupid and ignorent!
Go read a fuckign law book. Or any one of the other hundereds of posts who state the truth, its a copyright violation bceause your are listening to XXX's work without their permission, You didn't steal, take or deprive anyone of any physical object, they didn't LOSE anything(lost POTENTIAL revenue doesn't count here). You are just vireing/listening to music without permission. its TOATALY DIFFRENT.
What your saying is that if i download a song for a CD that i own i'm stealing, witch is not true, or even fair for that matter.
Go look up steal, wait i'll do that for you: steal: 1: to take the property of another wrongfully and especially as an habitual or regular practice.
when you download a song you take nothing. You get a digital COPY. man i wish you poeple would learn. I'm not going to even bother spell checking or proof reading this, it'll be on your level then.

"it near impossible for pirate users" ?? HA!
You must be smokeing the MS crack if you think that (or ANY) copy protection scheam works!
So? Do they expet EVERYONE uses windows? hell not everyone HAS a computer!! There must be another way to do whatever it is, so do it that way, and complain that if they would just support non IE browsers you could do it over the internet.
I use lossless now (FLAC), one because i just don't have to worry about quality (provided my rip is good) but more so bceause i can then reencode the audio to anything else without haveing to go find the CD. lossless gives you the exact WAV file from the CD, and provided it was error free you can. Lossless is the ONLY format in witch you can do this.
I only waste my HD space, if i want to trade them i just drag and drop em and renecode to OGG or MP3 or whatever. Its nice.
And HDs are damn cheap, i got a 120 GB SATA seagate for 200 canadian. So who care if my (so far, onmly started ripping 2 days ago) 233 tracks take up 3 GB.
Just a thought, but maybe he wanted them to never be made into movies bceause he knew that at the time (and anytime in the forseeable furture) that a movie just couldn't have captured the story, and the imagery he wanted to convay.
It was only recently that we could atacly make a movie like this. I mean 10 years ago would you have though they would be makeing movies look that good? with that kinda special effects??
Take a look at some of the movies from the 60s, and see what was consider special effects back then, then take a look at LORT. Could a movie of the LORT ever been made untill recently without looking like utter crap???
I"M talking about how you suggested that if you patch your computer and run an antivirus theres NO WAY you'll get it, witch is incorrect.
You said nothing about the human factor, nor poor security setup
And saying *don't open the attachments* is just plain stupid. This virus does a good job of fakeing the e-mails, useing previous msgs in its body to get you to open the attachment, or at least let down your guard.
Not only that you never going to get people to start being smart about this. NEVER! And if i understand correctly, outlook will OPEN an attachment when double click, mozilla asks you to save and exe (just checked) and will not run it. Another chance the user might see its a exe.
they should at least built something into mail clients that when the attchments an EXE, PIF or whatever it warns and says this attachment might be dangerous, blah blah blah.
either way, haveing a totaly updateded computer won't help much. The iframe exploit is only 1 way it get onto the computer, and that just takes advantage of whoevers great idea it was to use HTML in mail.
ummm even with an up-to-date windows install you could still get this virus. Tha is just ONE of the many ways it tried to spread.
Also it tries to DISABLES anti-virus software and some don't even see it as anotehr poster mentioned.
and you do know many anti-virus apps just scan exes and compare to a database? they don't actaly do anything special and can't stop a new and unkown to them viruses, so d) only applies if you have a nice pricey/non-free one with a autoprotect feature.
And as other would say RTFA you person who is E) to full of himself to read the artical and things he knows everything about computers so doesn't need to RTFA, and omega) a windows advocate who just felt like bashing linux and the linux community.
i have mod points, but they are to valuable to waste on you.
how Durability are these things? Money can go thru anlot so i can't picture these tags lasting forever, nor able to resist deactivation/destruction.
Smash that part of the bill? Get it wet? big magnet?? Heat?
And if its not leagal to use it without a working RFID tag then, i imagine there will be alot of angry poeple because they RFID tags faid/broke.
Overall i see this as a waste of goverment money and just a plain stupid idea thaught up by some politician who just wants more control over the populus at ANY cost and inconvieance to innocent people.
I mean HOW would this prvent crime, or do anything usefull at all? There will be plenty of places that don't have RFID readers, and if they start to wear out/fail?
i can just see it "robbers steal 80 million currency RFID tags, they just walked off with the breifcase!"
i'm self taught to (well to a point, my dad is a self taught programmer(C, linux, drivers) and he has taught me a fair bit) and i'm in university right now takeing a CS program. I see this all the time, in alot of the lower level CMPT classes at least. Many people are their because they are forced to take for their non CS degree, and they hate it with a passion. Or think that it'll be easy and a CS(or ENSC) degree is a good way to make money. sometimes
CMPT 101 is basic BASIC java. Used to be C/C++ or something but it was changed to a more "student friendly" lang. Thou i suspect it was to make the profs jobs easier and increase the number of students who pass.
My cmpt 101 grades class where like this, class average - 45%, me - 90%. alot of the people i talked to in class didn't know ANYTHING about computers, CLI, how to build one, terminolgy, ect. Maybe i had a bad class with a prof who went fast but still , it was easy for everyone who know programming (i'd say about 25% of the class)
Another CMPT 101 class didn't even cover switches!! i was in 212(advanced C++) and helping out a friend, and i'm like "use a switch" and alls i hear is something like "how do i do that". Maybe its just me but it seems they are really dumbing down CMPT 101 classes, isn't a switch something you should learn early on?
it seems that alot of poeple think computers = easy money, and come to univeristy thinking that. Then they wake up in CMPT 101 (hopefully) and stay if its their thing, and leave if not. Thou i feel the first computer class undergrads is just a but easy.
There are those who are in it because they enjoy codeing, like me:) I loved my ASM class. Hell i looked forward to ASM assingments, i find its more fun to code then java... but as other have said, i'm wierd.
I did figure something out, if you want to get into a first/sendcond year class filled with poeple who like codeing, and where the material is going to be somewhat difficult, take a course that isn't required for a degree or a prereq for anything. CMPT 212 was like that and it was actaly informative and a great class (thou maybe it was the prof, he moved fast!).
And i'm not in some collage, i attend Simon Fraser University in BC, canada. and personally i'm in it for the codeing. The potential to make a fair bit of money just a nice bonus:)
No me! i have much experiance with the other kind of RPGs. Heavy training in duke3d, doom1,2 (and soon 3!), all unreals, quake, just to name a few, refrences to my 1337 skillz can be obtained upon request! Request the model from doom, the classics are the best.
Or is there ANOTHER kind of RPG i'm not aware of....???
will your "actavation server always be up? you can't be sure of that. shit happens.
unless you can solve that problem activation is just plain old bad/stupid
but of course you don't care it's all about you, you could care less what happens to the customer who can no longer use what they paid for because the server is no longer up.
well maybe to those who don't read./ every single hour of every single day do not mind dupes as it gives them a chance to see stories on the frontpage again.
1/2 of the "dupes" are not "dupes" to me because i missed the orignal "dupe"
thou the ones where its 2 on the front page are bad... i will admit that.
But either way, why can't people just IGNORE dupes. THEY DO THEIR BEST!! IF IT IS A DUPE IGNORE IT!!
2) WTF has this to do with what hes was talking about? he wasn't talking about consumption taxes. and of course consumption taxes are going to increase the cost of goods, because that is what they are supposed to do!
3)If a poor person pays 50%, and a rich person pays 50% the rich person still pays ALOT more then the poor person.
20,000 = 10,000 100,000 = 50,000
I could just as easily say, Why should someone whos rich pay a higher tax rate?? Thats not fair cuz they already will pay more with a fixed %.
A fixed $ amount would be bad, but a fixed % would not be.
4) I dont' belive its makeing corperations pay NO taxes just lowering their taxrate into a more fairer zone.
5) look at the entire picture, lowering the corporate tax rate will drive the cost of goods down, Witch means the cost of liveing goes down, witch means corporations can pay people less because they need less money to live. witch means underskilled oversea workers will be less atractive.
Get that?? You can never just look at 1 aspect and say "that won't work" "thats unfair". Look at the entire damn picture, do be like the rest of the masses. So few people actualy take the time to. I figure i'm missing stuff to, i'm no expect i just use logic with the knowlage i have
(pardon the spelling/typos, i don't have time to check for error, work and all you know)

ummm NO! Take a look at the html sent to IE and mozilla:
html sent to ie-> 27142 bytes
html sent to mozilla -> 28016 bytes
So a simpler page is actaualy larger then the more complex one??
Do you research...
Now pack that into a worm or some other virus and unleash!! Well your at it might want to redirect microsoft.com to linux.com or something like that=P
What prices??? Can't undercut Free as microsoft is learning with linux and openoffice.
Alls they have here is to make it the deafult choice. And Thats how it is right now and they sure arn't winning.
The only way to win against google is for a search engine to be better or have some inovative feature witch i doubt will come from MS.
And even if it does, they still fill the page with ads, msn.com is not pleasent to me.
Google will also save money by haveing to run less computers because linux gets them more bang for their buck when it comes to hardware.
So? Do they expet EVERYONE uses windows? hell not everyone HAS a computer!! There must be another way to do whatever it is, so do it that way, and complain that if they would just support non IE browsers you could do it over the internet.
it only records the top speed so theres no way to know for sure
solid gives a much better compression, and hell on my computer it takes 10 min to unrar 2gb archive lol
How does it comepare to winrar?
yep, it does:)
winrar totaly beats winzip compression wise, by a large margin when i last tested (winrar 2.9 vs winzip 8)
I use lossless now (FLAC), one because i just don't have to worry about quality (provided my rip is good) but more so bceause i can then reencode the audio to anything else without haveing to go find the CD. lossless gives you the exact WAV file from the CD, and provided it was error free you can. Lossless is the ONLY format in witch you can do this.
I only waste my HD space, if i want to trade them i just drag and drop em and renecode to OGG or MP3 or whatever. Its nice.
